advice on improving this model

[Afronight_76]

im curerrently making a launch octopus model from megaman x. i havent made a skin for it yet. but before i do id like to get some advice on how to improve it first
this is what its supposed to look like

this is the model

 

[GreyArchon]

Don't forget the second set of smaller tentacles below. And make sure the head can turn so it can look left/right.

 

[Metabee]

WOW, afro, you've gotten pretty good, pretty damn good.

And make the face more detailed, just a niche.

greyarchon-thnx i forgot about those other 2 tenticles, but fo the head, im just making it rotate at the waist, since he has no neck. but i also noticed about my model that the end of the tenticels need to be wider, and theres no little barrel stub at the end. anyways metabee, ill probably add 2 speres for eyes and a curved cylinder for the overlapping eyebrows. could someone also tell me how i can add bones with animtions, that would be nice.

What program do you use to model with? You have know idea how to add bones and do animations?? I use gmax and can give you advice for that or maybe 3ds max it would work for too....since there near identicle programs.

 

[Afronight_76]

okay ive edited it a little

alreadyused-i used the vertex modifier from oinkerwinkle's tools. i dled gmax, but i still havent been emialed the activations code yet. its taking so freaking long. i tried 3dsmax, but i cant import mdx files for some reason.

 

[Formula1]

The upper arms look too high up, lower them
The back of the head looks like a cancer, shoten it and make the actual face smaller
Looks like he's kinda chubby so make him a bit skinnier

Afroknight- I'm very pleased to see you did this
I actually tried this specific model when i lost in the last level in megaman X, I didn't spend much time on mine, and i was a newbie then so i screwed up the model while trying to animate it.

This looks much better then mine, You've got some talent boy!!

 

[alreadyused]

hmmmm..... if you use the vertex modify program your gonna have to do anims only by notepad i think... Thats sorta a pain. You really should try to get a hold of some sort of modelling program.

skin portotype so far, not done, just testing

Pretty cool, afro. Skin needs some more shading though IMO.

 

[Afronight_76]

dont worry its s test run skin, as soon as i can fix this error im having with exporting out of gmax, ill give it a better skin.
