My entry to the second stage of the blender world cup. Topic was cartoon ground vehicle and character. This is stricty spoken not really a finished project, but I won’t change anything till the votings have ended. You can vote here:

Unfortunately I ran out of time and computer power. So this isn’t as good as I wanted it to be, but nevertheless better than anything I have done till now with blender.

I hope we will have some more of this greater challanges with much more entries than this time. It really is a lot of fun! :slight_smile:

But well, here is my entry

very nice! I would consider making the back tire wider though. I mean really fat!

add some meshsmooth because everything is quite low poly. Besides I think it’s too shiny, try reducing specularity. I like the character - simple but nice.

great modeling(except it looks low-poly) and texturing! i also think its a little too shiny.

Well. It is lowpoly, but I can’t do anything about it, as I am working on a 350MHz-Machine here. This image already is more than it wants to do… :slight_smile: Besides I only used Subsurf1 on most of the surfaces to get the rendering time into managable timeframes. With a higher subsurf everything on this model looks better. But unfortunatly I ran out of time.

Thanks for the hint with the shinyness. You are right. I could improve there.

Hey, looking good, especially considering your hardware based restraints. I like the modelling. The materials could use some work - less spec, etc, but I’m quite fond of it.

Nice but theres no action in the picture. Its a good model etc. but a boring picture to look at.

Give the little guy a pose, or make him ride the cycle.

Good job.

anogarir: Thanks! :slight_smile:

Caderack9: I wanted to fully rig him. Everything is prepared for this. And I will do this after the voting, as this is the first full character I created ever. But unfortunately for this competition time is up. Damn… :-? I even wanted to texture the whole thing. But I think, I will do this afterwards. :slight_smile:

Nice pic, very stylistic

BTW, i feel your pain as far as hardware restrictions, I’m also running a 350Mhz :expressionless:

Do it for yourself and not the competition!
