Pedobear WIP.....

[Mulgrim]

NOTE: I do not support the actions of this character, I just think he is hilarious.

Well... title says it all... lately I had been laughing my ass off at this guy all over the internet, I showed it to a bunch of people too, and I realized there is no model of Pedobear! ANYWHERE!

So i decided to make it, and use it as an excuse to learn those things i hadn't done yet; portraits, animations, team color (yes, i plan to have it team colored, full body), etc...

...and I'm almost done with it too, i just need to get the foot right, skin (which shouldn't be too hard), and animations of course... so i'm posting here to get some ideas from you, as i'm having trouble getting the foot right and shizz, tell me where to improve, and help where I need it!


foot:

and... would this be approved? or rejected for a rule or something..?

lol

EDIT: right i forgot, give ideas for animations

 

[skrab]

reduce the polygon count on arms, legs, ears and face

and I like this idea

 

[Mulgrim]

1127 verteces

2186 triabgles

il see what i can do..

lol!

 

[NhazUl]

Plain awesome, just reduce the polycount.

If you finish that, I'll make a loli model.

 

[Mulgrim]

the face and ears i probably won't be able to reduce, without looking too weird and unrecognizable (help here), but i'll remake the arms and legs... when i get back on my pc *sigh...*

animations?

 

[NhazUl]

Wildkin? Ogre? Beastmaster?

 

[Mulgrim]

naw i mean ideas... i want to make custom animations

 

[BlinkBoy]

just collapse edges on the arms and legs.

 

[NhazUl]

Attack 1 - right paw
Attack 2 - right paw
Death - falls on his back with eyes wide open
Stand 1 - normal
Stand 2 - panting and with nosebleed
Stand 3 - fap (xD)
Walk 1 - sneak
Walk 2 - Ogre-like

 

[Mulgrim]

stand 3 - perverted hopping? like an epileptic.

a channel, or spell animation woul be nice to have, that one with the big eyes and it starts drooling... is there a tutorial on geoset animations?

 

[thesteelshark]

i can see interesting map ideas with this

also

 

[Mulgrim]

ok i reduced polys on both arms by a lot, straightened the neck, and i'll reduce pollys on legs next, I'll post WIP's when I can...

 

[TheHunterKiller]

Awesome idea xD. Looks great so far.

 

[Taylor Mouse]

It reminds me of this character Kon from Bleach

[Mulgrim]

If you all haven't already noticed, i am the most unpunctual person ever, this is taking kind of long, but now i just have to start the skin and animations.

also, bump for where to improve, or suggestions in animations, skin.

 

[Mulgrim]

update, i'll start working on a skin.

 

[Mulgrim]

ok, the skin is going along really good, does anyone know how to add teamcolor with Gimp? i can't find a tutorial on it.

 

[skrab]

I'll quote myself.

reduce the polygon count on arms, legs, ears and face

 

[Mulgrim]

damnit

doesn't it look horrible enough yet? :l

 

[Mulgrim]

UPDATE

Ok, i really reduced the polycount this time, i think it should be just right... i thought he was far too thin, so i stretched him out somewhat, he's wider now.....

Front:

Right:

...and here is a preview of the skin, this is my very first custom skin, so it probably won't be great, i'd appreciate any feedback. I plan to have him team colored though.

all feedback apreciated.. blah blah...

 

[Mulgrim]

umm I ran into a problem, and i don't know how to fix it, I took a screenshot of the UV layout to use as reference to start the skin, however I only took a screenshot of the head part then, now i need the rest of the body, already took a screenie, but i don't know how to merge it into the the skin above ^^^. how can i merge images on GIMP? I can't go on for now without that.

sorry for double post -.-

 

[chilla_killa]

The mesh looks great now, and the skind will be great, too.
Sorry, I don't know in GIMP.
But can't you do it in Paint?
Merge all together in Paint ^^

 

[Mulgrim]

oh shi-

i didn't think of that... + rep

 

[Mulgrim]

bump fo love.

i'll have the next WIP's soon

 

[Nudl9]

Theres nothing to say about the model except

 

[skrab]

Reduce the polygon count on ears and mouth.

 

[Mulgrim]

ok, though it might look more weird, i'll add details on portrait though...

 

[Mulgrim]

omfg

due to me being an idiot, i must now restart the whole texture, i will have WIP's asap.

 

[XIOV]

Ears and mouth polycount are still insane (especially the ears). Wc3 models don't have particularly detailed models, they are generally low polycount with good textures (relatively). For me, when I model something, I spend half the time modeling that I spend texturing (and the majority of that is spent getting the "perfect" uv unwrap).

 

[Mulgrim]

oh crap, i forgot to take another screeny of updated ears and mouth, i reduced it a lot, has been like this for about 5 days now.

yeah i don't think the final version will look too high poly, it's just round..

yes it's been taking long for me to arrive where i am right now, i keep having different thoughts. And it doesn't really take long for me to figure out a UV-unwrap, just use a single color as texture (preferably black), open the texture UV coordinator, lay it all out how you want it (i do piece by piece), save screenshot, then merge it all and you have a trace to help.

 

[Mulgrim]

UPDATE:

as you can see i now made the mouth and head 1 geoset...

...and i finished the texture, only need to make the one for the foot which won't take long hopefully (plain colors, thank god). oh i noticed something wrong i want to change about the texture (black lines should be brown -.-), but i will post pics of that on next update, i should begin animating it soon...

Comments and Criticism please, i know i fucked something up.

 

[chilla_killa]

Nice one, the mesh looks very good now and I like the texture as well, but maybe add a white circle into the eyes, like at this picture: http://upload.worldofplayers.de/files/Pikachu.gif

 

[Mulgrim]

UPDATE:

now with a custom skeleton, comments and criticism please...

...and how do i post WIP's of animations?

 

[XIOV]

I believe warcraft 3 viewer has an option to export anims as .gif files. It only allows .mdx files though.

 

[Mulgrim]

thx ^

by the way i probably won't animate or update for a good 3 weeks, or until the modelling contest is over, i have to do a lot of things to it.

 

[Squiggy]

I might want to have this one the boss in my maul..

 

[gohan43]

it looks good i just wish that the limbs were attached to the body rather than just being placed into the body, but good luck on the model

 

[Slaydon]

Im asking cuz i dont know anything about modelling, but is that "Skeleton" part between the bones really needed? xD.

Oh, and you wanted ideas for anims, you can make a stand alternate letting a fly pass by and he just slaps it for fun ;D

 

[Mulgrim]

@Slaydon

no, the bones don't have to be in the body at all, we see this in building animations too. but its just personal taste to place the bones directly in the mesh (but when you place the bones, it's highly recommended that you put them on the body, for reference)

visitor msg me if you have any more questions

it looks good i just wish that the limbs were attached to the body rather than just being placed into the body, but good luck on the model

lol, i'm working with an earlier version of ms3d (too lazy to update) but i think i'll update it later, latest versions must have a "collapse edges" tool

 

[Mulgrim]

my animating skills can make onions cry, can someone be nice to link me to a few good milkshape 3d animating tutorials? i'd do it, but google doesn't like me and i'm trying to balance with some other things too, i'd appreciate it a lot and give +rep

also, just a tip. make sure to run zero joints before animating if you didnt already know that.

 

[Mulgrim]

thanks, but i already saw those, I was looking more for techniques or something similar

 

[Mulgrim]

fuck this, i'm giving it ogre animations when i go on my computer

 

[Dr. House]

a mate on wc3 of me is has an account named like that XD

 

[takakenji]

why ogre

 

[Mulgrim]

nvm il use wendigo or make custom, but i always take my time
