dreamhead · 09-06-2010, 05:03 PM

hi guys i new here an here is my first low ploy game model,hope you like it
it was made wit 3d max,mudbox and photoschop

poopipe · 09-06-2010, 05:30 PM

the specular is a bit harsh and I'm not entirely sure you need 17k to get that shape but it looks decent enough

- get some wires up so we can pick holes in the technical bits then get that sucker rigged

Bigley · 09-06-2010, 08:07 PM

actually 17,000 is way too much for the level of detail. You could get this guy down to 5,000 and it would probably look just as good. A Gears of War Character was around 20,000 and they had tons of detail. Definitely could use some more crunching.

the tri count on your character is more scary than the character itself!

Linc · 09-06-2010, 08:30 PM

Along with what these guys have said there's a massive seam issue around the collar bone, shoulders and hands.

Raul · 09-06-2010, 08:38 PM

Not to mention that the texture job is very monotone. Textures tell a story...i think u need to spend some more time on this. Is a very potential piece, perhaps work in more silhouette values, and perhaps a prop to make him look more natural.

Buzzy · 09-06-2010, 08:50 PM

I think the character design is cool....its a pretty creepy take on a zombie.
But, as was mentioned before, the textures need a lot more work and the tricount is way too high.

Can you show us a wireframe?

But anyway, not too shabby for your first game model. Good start.

poopipe · 09-06-2010, 09:03 PM

looking at it again the seam ain't there in the diffuse map

is there a flipped channel in the normals perhaps? the underboobs look a bit funny lighting wise.

Buzzy · 10-06-2010, 12:09 PM

Agreed poopipe.
It looks fine in Max, which means that is almost definitely wrong for every other app.
Try inverting the green channel on your normal map.
