Torov the Half-Elven Warrior

This is a model i started a while ago in Maya PLE(Personal Learning Editon, a free version of Maya that has everything maya has but...saves as a upscure file type that cant be used )
Any way ill just list some things about the parts and how i made them:

Textures:
I used some textures off of a downloaded MMORPG called Minions of Mirth. So all texture credits go to Prairie Games Inc.

Model Parts:

Arms: For the arms i just took a bunch of circles and lofted them into a shape.

Hands: These hand models are a mesh that i downloaded and modified. So yea..

Chest/Head/Legs: For these i just took a cube with divisions "3 2 3" and edited them by pulling points and extruding, then smoothing and adding detail.

Hair: Hair was just taken by a shaped plane that was extruded and shaped with vertex points.

Sholderpads: Modified cylnder(srry for the spelling I'm to lazy to look it up )

Belts/Handpads/Straps/Kneepads etc.: Sorta like the hair, a plane that was extruded, smoothed and pulled vertex points.

Sword/Axe/Bow: Just modifed and smoothed planes and some modifed cubes.
----------------------------
And yes i have not finished the legs yet...still trying to figure that out

Nice, he looks good. Could you show a screenshot from afar though?

Also, why not just get Maya instead of using a version which you cannot save anything from?

 

[VampireHeart]

i am going to get it. And i have a shot from afar... (the 4 views that are textured)

do u want me to post the file? if any1 wants to look at it close up?

 

[Dr Super Good]

Try and use a higher quality render, AA really helps when trying to show off ones models.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

The best about this model really is the weapons you made for him. Those are awesome.

 

[Kimbo]

err...use better symmerty? I also suggest you study human faces and such, the topology on the axe seems wrong, but not bad, could use alot more work.

 

[VampireHeart]

thanks ragingspeedhorn. and yea this is my first try at anything more than a sword or an axe.

 

[Mor)L(unE]

Looks pretty good, but he looks like he hit a stone wall very hard, hes abit flat

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Looks like his face got cut in half and then got sewed in a rushed way.

 

[DarkKnight]

isn't this more of a high poly model? if not, please say so ^^, if it is, then why is it in the low poly catagory? thank you ^^. and indeed, make the face a bit less flat, yet, I have never even made a good model so I shouldn't complaint =D

 

[VampireHeart]

Yes the face is weird.

But i used the parenting mirror so you cant really get better symmetry.

Its when you smooth it that makes it look deformed :/

A glitch i suppose.

 

[DarkKnight]

Well, maby some random tinkering will help? ^^.

 

[qqluqq]

nose

 

[DarkKnight]

I think this could be easily counted as necromancy, please, don't do it again.

 

[VampireHeart]

Its not really much of a deal in this forum.. seeing that noone posts in it ever.

 

[DarkKnight]

Hmm.. true.

 

[Draelren]

When it comes to smoothing out, it equals all the distance between your polygons, and averages them. If you don't want it to flatten the face, add more edge loops. The face needs a lot more work, unless you've done anything more.

 

[NatDis]

How about fixing the normals? that would fix the strange shading on the chest. Why not download zBrush to create the face? It's much easier to create a human(oid) face in that. The only thing is, zBrush comes with a 30 day limit unless you buy it.

 

[VampireHeart]

Im looking to buy it, in about a month or two ill be able to get an educational vers for a lot less then the regular price of $500 (if that is correct).
