inveni0 · 13-02-2007, 12:40 PM

Geez....are those things real?

Criistii · 13-02-2007, 03:17 PM

Yep, they are real polygons...

RockstarKate · 13-02-2007, 06:22 PM

Really nicely done, but it isn't Final Completed Artwork, is it? I mean, she has no arms! Where's the rest of her??

Colbyy · 13-02-2007, 09:56 PM

heh, Yea, it is done, I just did her bust.

excellent job, IMO the goggles and hair need some fine tuning, the goggles seem too bright instead of being reflective, and the hair has no shine(highlights) even black hair has depth. The other materials/textures are very well done.

D,

Colbyy · 13-02-2007, 11:03 PM

Diabolos, your totally right. Ive never been 100% happy with the goggles, and the hair....well the hair consists of nearly 1000 transparent planes which surround a textured core. Nice looking specular values straight from a render are just not going to happen. Id have to do them is post, which I might still do....

Thanks for the feedback man!

Are the hair polies properly unwrapped or just flat black? If they are well textured, you could fake some reasonable looking highlights with bump maps or normal maps. As it stands, the very solid black mass is rather detracting from the amount of attention paid to the rest of the model.

Ill post a screen shot tonight of the hair system I have setup so you guys can undertstand where Im comin from, then maybe I can tap your brains for some good ideas.

thx
