Redknukle Wip

[Taylor Mouse]

Since I decided ( for now ) not to do any more models from the warcraft universe, I wanted to do something different, a Diablo 3 based model, the redknucles.
WIP based on the concept art by Blizzard.
Concept art ( scroll down to the bottom )
some C&C plz

Wow that looks fantastic.

 

[bboy-tiger-]

Cool, look kinda high poly tho. hm... I'm sure you can remove some under lips.

 

[Taylor Mouse]

the meaning is that it should be medium-high poly, then maybe I'll optimize my own model to fit the stuff from the Art Tools.

Update

Small update on the head of this beaty beast

C&C plz

[Gjallarhorn]

looks really cool
Do you make separate meshes for the details? like eyes, mouth and teeth?
I always try to keep my models at one single mesh but that brings me some trouble

 

[Taylor Mouse]

No, I apply different matrial Id's, that is what the colors are used for, now here the chin and head are seperate, else, making the teeth was kinda mess

Wonderfull!!! i knew you would comeback im happy cause im a big fan of the diablo series


BTW: What modeling program you using?

 

[Taylor Mouse]

For now I'm using 3DS max 7, I also got 2009 but it sucks up too much memory

im a big fan of the diablo series

really ;p

Looks very good +rep

You should make a tutorial how to model! i am one of the one that want to learn to model

 

[Taylor Mouse]

Auh I 'm not into making tutorials, but try this, it is a short list on the steps I do

• pick your artwork
• check the dimensions, x an Y
• in max, or gmax, create a plane with the same dimensions, and add the artwork as the texture
• create a plane and start positioning the vertiches where there are needed ( that is the hard part )
• then if you do not have another view of the artwork, ( this is the hardest part ) position the vertiches ( they are still in a flat position ) so that you create depth in the model.
• then you can create another plane or extrude the sides ( thats what I do ) and position them in the right spots
• doesn't matter ( yet ) if the model is too slim or too thick, just make sur the proportions look good, at the end of the modeling adjust the thickness with some FDD deformation

this was very short but I'll see where I can find a good url to model

Update

Small update on the body, redid the artwork abit so that the front leg is now down in stead of in the front, this is the way I will position the hound

C&C plz

[syltman]

I look incredible cool! I knew that you wouldn't quit.

Edit: Did I just type, "I" look incredible cool!

oh well, I hope you understood that I meant the model looks incredible cool >.<

 

[Taylor Mouse]

thank you very much

 

[bboy-tiger-]

Model is great, you could use same smoothing grops maybe so we actually have better picture of it ? How much poly ?

And one of good tips is to o geometry first as most simple you can and then improve and add more details, and not opposite, like I see most people do and then they can continue with their work...

EDIT: Btw I think that last legs position where it binds with the body is too close with the ass xD, but not sure hm..

 

[Dionesiist]

Suddenly popped in my mind.

 

[Taylor Mouse]

Yeah, about the ass part, I was kinda thinking the same way cause the art work displays a walink motion, so...

btw madqc -> this is an example of my little explanation:

Thanks again i was looking for a tutorial how to make a head lol

 

[Taylor Mouse]

I will finish this model after my Monk of course

[SuPa-]

Hey man! This is looking pretty tight. It'll be interesting to see it textured

 

[Taylor Mouse]

Well I do need to redo it completely because the polycount is way too high with all the details, but I hope it works out fine.
