ARTWAR 2 | 3D | Twin Blade | Malcom

[malcom]

@felipechaves thank man.

Here's a quick test shots in Unreal( forgot I downloaded this ) I wanted to see how to model is working in a engine.

No textures yet. I didn't even do retop yet. Just seeing if the model works in fake 3d person game like Final fantasy XV or KH3.

Also a fix on the heel.

feedback always welcomed.

Damn ! Your character is very cool ! i don't know why but it remind me Blade the vampire hunter, same attitude !

[malcom]

Thanks. I actually love blade the character. Feels good to have that kind of comprising. She just needs her swords.

Looks awesome so far.
Especially the front view is really nice.
However in my opinion the heel part of the boot feels somewhat wrong. The whole foot feels clunky because of it. I think a thinner, slicker design would fit your already elegant character more. While we are on the topic of thinner parts. I think the visor needs to be smaller too. You could probably take the top half of it completely off and shift the pointy end of it further down.
Other than that the character looks fantastic

[Firathion]

Y u so gud at 3D?!

But in all seriousness this is fantastic.
I'm trying to come up with some critisism and feedback but i'm not sure i can come up with something useful.
The only thing that's on my mind is how bad i want to see her weapon model. Seeing your concept sheet it has to be one of my favorite parts of the design. And what i particularly like is the color pallet. For some reason green seems really fitting.
As for the actual design, version 4 has to be my favorite although it's a close call.

[malcom]

@mrjar0 thanks for the feedback. I already planed to change the Visor. What I have now is a place holder.

@Firathion first question, Great tutorials and lots of reference
Weapon will be modeled soon. In my head I vision the character being able to create swords through the use of special particle system but I need to pick 1 or 2 swords for now. Not sure what to pick yet. The character is around 80% done(modelling wise)
Version 4 is the one I went with. Made some changes because not everything worked in 3D, but overall, they're similar.

[Firathion]

Yaas. I was wondering what your favorite version is, i'm so happy that you went with 4.

[archsider]

very hero shootery would love the final render

[malcom]

Sorry I been a way for a bit. Just starting retopo

I should be able to finish in time.

[malcom]

The face is pretty much done. The hair is taking forever. I might be a little OCD with the getting all quads. Not really working out as well as I thought and I don't have much time left either. I don't know how i'm going to finish in time but I will try.

[sheepnerfer]

you're way ahead of me! Keep it up, it's looking good.
for your retopo, keeping your quads more evenly spaced will pay dividends in the long run =)

[malcom]

Thank you for the feedback. I'll keep that in mind. I just find some angels to hard to figure out. I'll keep working on it though.

[Mateus]

My topology skills aren't great, but I think you could add a star on the side of the forehead to help with the spacing. https://i.imgur.com/oqQpy3c.jpg

[malcom]

I can try that. Thanks for the feedback.

[malcom]

Body and arms done. Jacket needs a little more clean up

[sheepnerfer]

I'm not sure what vrs. of maya you're using, but the latest ones have a QuadDraw tool where if you hold Shift you can smooth out the topo you've drawn over your high res obj. that'll help you out super quick on the face topo spacing if you have it =)

[malcom]

I'm using 2018. Thats actually what I was doing. The smooth feature is amazing. But the way I set up my hi res was dumb so I put myself in a bad spot for the arms and the body and other things. This is my first time doing this. I know my next character will go a lot smoother.

[malcom]

So I though I wouldn't be able to finish because of PC problems as well as rushing to finish my 2D entry in time. So into the final day. I'm gonna rush to finish this cyborg girl. Probably still no weapon in the end but will see. Here's a cool render shot.

Let me know how you guys fell about the scar mark

[bcbedford]

Not sure if you saw, but the deadline got pushed to March 5th - you should still have some time to finish everything.

[malcom]

I did. That's why I said i'm going to work into the last day. I just finished my 2D recently so I'll be working on the 3D character 95% of the time. 5% for small changes to my 2D entry.
More to come in the coming days.
