hahaha dobby! nice work. did you sculpt this with blender or an external sculpt software [ i.e. Sculptris / mudbox / zBrush ] ??

GJAnders · April 18, 2011, 5:51am

Blender alll the way! And you know what’s funny? I made this with just a couple references of Dobby for head size and stuff but then I was surprised to see that it actually does look like Dobby, weird how that works haha

I think this looks pretty awesome and ready for some rigging, but let me know what you think, please!

I really like it model itself is great. Textures are also very good. But for some reason im not seeing all the detail i know is there, i cant seem to explain it. maybe change the background color to something lighter it seems the mesh is dark and that mixes with the world color

GJAnders · May 3, 2011, 6:48pm

Will do! and thanks for the response, as you can see i havn’t gotten much feedback on this yet!

GJAnders · May 3, 2011, 6:59pm

To address this issue, try applying this tutorial on lighting to your model;

Also BA shrinks the images . . .
To see full sized versions of images, just click on them(twice)!

Thanks, i will fix the lighting when I’m done with the rest of the model which should be soonish, lots of distractions right now though and I’m helping with a game project but thank you! And I also didn’t know that you could double click them haha thanks!

GJAnders · May 16, 2011, 3:46pm

He’s got a body!!!

Lemme know what you think! And a lot of this is still in progress like the shoes and lack of nails but i’m getting there!

My favorite part about your house elf is the little fuzzies on the top of his head. It makes me chuckle =)

GJAnders · May 16, 2011, 10:11pm

Haha I like them to

GJAnders · May 18, 2011, 3:25pm

quick update and people please lemme know what sucks about it!

i had to make this one smaller cause was 2mb big, and notice his shoes are better AND his skin is paler, i know intense stuff

this one is a close up of the face to see a bit more detail than you would from far away

GJAnders · May 19, 2011, 3:34pm

Another update! he’s got nails now and I’m trying out the gamma node and lighting shtuff

Hey if a mod sees this can you please move this the WIP forum?? I don’t really think this is the right place for this project right now, thanks!

GJAnders · May 21, 2011, 10:25am

He’s got a rig now! there are still a couple of weight issues though that i’ll get to later

GJAnders · May 25, 2011, 5:12pm

here’s another update, i made better shoes for him and also better more human-like nails (not seen in the picture)

GJAnders · May 25, 2011, 8:22pm

An image/example of my elf’s rig, also i think he needs a name, any suggestions??
