Movie Mashup - Hellboy: the Golden Iron Man - thefmilyofblood

[Tarik2d]

Cool. u could always give him blasters instead of hands. This Guy will look really cool posed

[thefmilyofblood]

Hmm, that's what a friend of mine suggested as well, I'm thinkin' of trying it out and seeing how it looks.

[Tarik2d]

hey, hows it going, any updates?

[thefmilyofblood]

Sorry I haven't posted anything in ages, I've been busy with work for school. here's some more progress on the Hellboy model.

[Tarik2d]

sweet, get some glowing eyes and chest. like the big hand

[thefmilyofblood]

Thanks. The lack of glowing eyes was just me being lazy and not bothering to make a shader. I'm going to work on the tail next.

[Tarik2d]

oh yeah I forgot about the tail. how are you going to texture him? you going to do a clean shinny metal like iron man? or a matt colour like hell boys skin?

[thefmilyofblood]

here's the tail. I'm probably going to use a shinier metal shader but with hellboy's skin colour.

[Tarik2d]

wow, thats ace!!!!! how did you get it to follow the spline like that? took me loads of messing about to model the spine on my iron transformer

[thefmilyofblood]

what I did was I set the object so that its copies centers are on each point of the line. I messed up, though, so I had to move some of them by hand. I don't really know how to explain it any better than that.

[Tarik2d]

na thats cool thanks what u going to do about the textures then?

[thefmilyofblood]

I'm probably not going to UV map most of it and just use metal shaders for it. I'm thinking I might UV map the bigger pieces and to put scratches on them, but not on the smaller pieces so I can save time.
Also, the red metal is going to be a duller with a more hellboy-ish look to it, but the gold will look more like iron man metal.

Here's a render of the back!

[Tarik2d]

Well done looking really good.

[thefmilyofblood]

Thanks!
I'm going to start working on the background, and getting a scene together. The final shot's going to look like this, with hellboy jumping down onto the soldier.
