Minotaur wip. Critique welcomed.

Can I just ask how it will go from 400K to 13K? Just wondering! Please and thank you!

@Ricky_blender
I might add hair to the animation version of the model. This one I was hoping to do burn marks and scars since he would be working with hot or molten metal. As for the tail I won’t do that for this one, but since I would like to do another in the not-so-near future(maybe a set?) I will definitely keep that in mind.

@Benny_Flex You don’t think that would be too much? I had actually planned on doing that but thought it would look a tad cheesy in the end.

@adwsng I will be doing a retopo of the model and then baking a normal map to it. I did the same thing with the Mewtwo model I’m currently using as my avatar.

Tip: For anyone who hasn’t done a retopo on a model before try not let the lowpoly faces intersect with your sculpt. I made that mistake with my Mewtwo model, which is why it hasn’t got any of the chest details I put into the sculpt.

Very nice progress bro.
You want to make a low poly for games out of this? or a high poly model for pic/film?
I suggest you a high poly since 13k is quite a decent resolution for high poly. (The low poly minotaurs are quite overdone by artists)
Btw I really think you are getting close the that model from that vid Kris posted!

Ok now the bad stuff:

o I think someone told you but the chest is a bit too inflated.
o Ill add a bit more details to the legs. Try to define a bit more the shapes. Ill post a pic.
o The armor looks really nice. I like that.
o You should add some fat rigs to the neck like Bennys reference.. I think.. o Try to add more details to the neck (see pic) o Also more details around the pelvis and kneed area try to define the muscles. o The hand position looks a bit off to me but thats not a big problem.
o I played a bit with the armor you may check that if you want.

Thats all for now. Keep it up dude youve got a nice work here :wink:

Sorry, but what do you mean by “lowpoly faces intersecting?” Please and thank you!

Your progress has been really good from the start to where it is now. :slight_smile:
