Mario

I don’t think he needs any introduction…


Galaxy style:


Someday I’ll add seams to his overalls.

the model is very good, I just change the material a bit by adding some falloff effects same style of Mario Galaxy


I would scale down the arms a bit, they seem out of proportion

@mistermaster

Thanks for the tip! I didn’t notice that before. I’ve updated the picture.

@IkariGendo

Do you mean this kind of effect?


Wow Galaxy style shading is dead on. Methinks his legs are just a hint too long though, more specifically, where his upper hip begins I think is too high.

@Velduanga

It sorta looks like that because he is not standing straight. The foot on the right ( his left ) is put forward some. I probably shouldn’t have posed him like that though, because it really does look longer. Oh well.

I’m glad you like the Galaxy shading!

Very cool.
Do we get to see a wireframe?

Sure! I’m not sure how to actually render a wireframe, so I’ll just give you a screenshot of the 3d view.


I had trouble getting the hands to deform right, so I just modeled them into fists ( explaining the poor topology :slight_smile: ).

Yeah, I see what you mean. I think its because you can’t see the flat of his feet that its hard to gauge where his feet actually end.

Technically speaking, is his head a separate mesh from the rest of his body?
(same for ears, nose, shoes)

The topology looks a little meh, but the end result is awesome.

@s12a,

His head is separate, his feet are separate, his nose isn’t separate, and his ears are mostly separate ( a little bit in the front is attached ).

@Animaniac888,

Thanks! I agree about the topology. When I started modeling him, I didn’t even know what “topology” meant.:slight_smile: Cleaning the mesh up is on my to-do-before-I-die list.

I should show you my allosaurus wireframes… That thing is a topological nightmare.

It’s perfect!

@ba02

Thanks! I’m glad you like him.

Looks very solid. I like it a lot - I think his hair is slightly redder and lighter in ‘real life’ (ha ha), and his shoes slightly darker, but it looks very nice. Great work!
