My Moose - Moohoo!

Thomas Mahler · 29-03-2004, 08:24 AM

Hey guys,

It's been quite a time, since I posted here!

I'm currently working on a moose, I have to finish the model and a few blendShapes til next week - Tight deadline! Hope you could give me some good crits, I could really need them.

Stuh505 · 29-03-2004, 09:07 AM

hey, you are missing the thing that hangs under the moose's neck

also the rack looks really messed up

other than that it looks good

Thomas Mahler · 29-03-2004, 09:18 AM

Oh yeah. It's still WIP, you know :-)

The hair is still missing (pretty hard to model that out, hehe), the eyes are only temporary and the horns are also bothering me.

Thanks for the crits!

Stuh505 · 29-03-2004, 10:32 AM

well i think that the thing that hangs under the neck is actually a large flap of skin (which can vary from a couple inches to like 8 inches long), not just hair, so that's why i mentioned it

That was kinda my reference - So I'll just keep that and model hair at the neck, to give the head shape a little more "support".

More crits?

Stuh505 · 29-03-2004, 03:58 PM

perhaps more teeth?

bullethead · 29-03-2004, 05:24 PM

Well, from the looks of it you ARENT going for realism. You are going for a cartoony moose. And if you are which I really belive you are then it looks perfect right now. The teeth that you have set a personality to it. I dont think you should add more because then it would take away from the persona of the moose. I say keep up the good work. He looks really cool right nowl

Thomas Mahler · 29-03-2004, 09:43 PM

Thanks for the crits, guys!

@Stuh505: Yeah, I'll add some molars, but you won't see them clearly in a probile shot. Its more like, if he's angry and pulls his lower lip down, you'll be able to see them.

@bullethead: Thanks, man! :-) Yeah, I'm actually going for a very cartonny moose, I already created some animation tests and when animated he looks pretty hilarious - Thats what I was going for. In the final animation, he'll be yodeling.

Sorry for the bad light setup - I'll set up my own lighting scheme in the final animation!

I also don't know what they're called, but lets stay with 'horns' :-)

Yeah, I already tweaked the horns a lot. I'll upload more pics later. After I'm totally satisfied with their shape, I'll throw a lattice onto the second and change the shape a little.

In the renderings above the horns are much too small and the shape reminds me of claws - not really what I wanted...

I also undetailled them a little, it was too much contrast with the extremely comical shape of the moose.

Keep the crits coming! ;-)

bradjames · 30-03-2004, 07:26 AM

I love the style...it looks very cool. I do have one thing that sticks out and that is around the eyes...that area looks too indented or something...

keep up the good work

Looks great, I'm love it, but something about the ears looks wrong IMO(I know it's a cartoon version),but still, maybe they are up too high?

Thomas Mahler · 31-03-2004, 12:41 PM

Hey Rubberduck,

Thanks,

Well, yeah, the ears are not 100% satisfying, but I guess when it's rigged and textured (fur) it'll look pretty good. At least I hope so.

By the way, I really like your work!
