My game character(WIP)

Hello,

This is the main character of my project. I didnt want to post here before I made some slight progress. I would like to know if parts of the armour feel a little bit off, anything in the topology that seems out of place. C&C are welcome.

Total number of faces at the moment is around 5000. I will post some more images asap.

haha… looks like B.A!

could you add a wireframe render?

Who or what is B.A.? :stuck_out_tongue:

BA from the A-Team, the wrestler Mr.T .

:ba: this guy

Hehe. Well the mohawk hair is a placeholder. He will be wearing a helmet. Gonna work on it today and give you the new picture. About the wireframe as soon as I go backhome I wii post one.

I havent watched this movie but maybe I was influenced by Mr. T somehow. I wanted to give him a butch, badass look.

As he kills people, he screams “Drink your milk and stay in school, fool!”:ba:

Am I the only one to see this? He looks stretched…like you size z’d him to make him taller.

This is caused by the resolution I took the picture, however I noticed something myself, his feet appear weak compared to his upper body. Now this is not such an uncommon case but thats not the look I go for so I will adjust his leg “muscles” down the road.

for a big muscle bound dude he has really small hands, there is also too much length in his torso. If you are going for a realistic head he should be about 3 3/4 head lengths from the top of his head to his crotch, realistic proportions are 7 1/2 heads. If you are using illustrator proportions than it should be four heads from the top of the head to the crotch, illustrator proportion are 8 heads for a full figure. If you are more in the realm of comic books than you use a 9 head figure and it should be 4 1/2 heads from the top of the head to the crotch.

Most people, books and instructors use the eight head figure to draw a ‘hero’ figure. So between realistic and comic book fantastic you have about 1/2 a head either way to play with. Your figure seems out of these bounds.

Thank you for the usefull info Tyrant Monkey. Now that I have measured him he leans towards a realistic look I guess, if what you said is corrent . He is 7 1/3 heads from head to toes and 3 1/3 heads from head to crotch.

Edit: The stretching comes when I post the pictures with their URL. It stretches the pictures badly.Just noticed the 1st image and the last two. :stuck_out_tongue:

Now, I think I noticed what might be the problem. His feet look very very weak. Originaly I thought that if I make them smaller I will have room to work on top of that when I start to make cloths,armour and such. Now when I did few renders it turns out this gives him the look witch I wont be satisfied with.
Regarding the hands, I saw that the thumb looks a bit short and gonna fix it asap.

Here are a few new images. Messed with few settings. I tryed to give the shoulderpad,legguard and helm a reflecting qualities. Im almost there with that, I think that metal(or atleast the one used on armour) shouldnt reflect that much but instead the reflection is slightly distorted or blured. Gonna work on the settings on that.

Also a list of all the items on that scene and number of faces:



Body-2918 faces
Shoulderpad -63 faces
Helm-380 faces
Belt-187 faces
Wrist guards -97 faces each
Big Axe -178 faces
Small Axe -262 faces
Sword - 88 faces each
Sword Sheath - 34 faces each
Boots - 134 faces each
Bicep jewelry - 34 faces
Eyepatch - 88 faces
Facial hair - 358 faces
Total = 5900-ish faces

Still need to “burn the fat”.

Here is the wireframe,hope its easy to view.

I havent got much time to work on the character the last week, started working on a knife and some belts around his torso that will hold the shoulderpad. As far as BGE goes the metal reflection is looking very cool to me, but somehow it cant come out the same way when I render. I ditched the beard since the helmet provides a look I was going for.
