Character Modeling: Assignment #6 - Character Props

To continue with the theme of my character and the game that he will ultimately be placed in (Hammered) I went with a cooler and a few beer bottles. The game revolves around drinking for platforming. I'll go ahead and add a beer bottle in Eddie's hand once I have him positioned.

Character Modeling: Assignment #5 - Retopology

I'll be able to add some more faces and detail if you give the go ahead since I've still got a good couple thousand faces before I hit the max of about 10K. I didn't get to the hands yet, but something is better than nothing I suppose.


Also, I've got no Internet at home so I'm forced to snap pictures of my laptop with my phone and upload my progress like this.

UPDATE:

In class finished Retopo.

Character Modeling: Assignment #4 - Final Detail and Retopo

I decided to add hair after all, last minute. I added a bit more detail on the shirt and shorts. Pulled out the chin a bit more and added the cheek bone detail you recommended. The character Eddie is in his early 20's so I didn't put too much of it on the cheeks. Finally, shaped up the nose a bit more as well.

Retopo:

I got started on the retopo on the face, but then I hit somewhat of a speed bump. Since my character has a big nose while following the Joan of Arc Tut I wasn't quite sure where to extrude to with my model. Here's a screen cap of what I've got so far. If I end up working on it more later tonight I'll be sure to upload more.

Character Modeling: Midterm Model

I know that this is late. But this is just so that you can see what I am working on. I'll be modeling the hat and shoes in Maya once I import my model into Maya when we start the retopo.

Character Modeling: Assignment #3 - Character With Subtools

I've added subtools to my character Eddie. He's got a long sleeved shirt that has been rolled up and also some jersey/basketball shorts. I'll go ahead and make the shoes within Max and then import them into Zbrush tomorrow during class. I've decided to make my character bald as well.
