If you didn’t already try using a curve path for the particles, might help with some of those stray hairs.

:o wonderful model!!!

It’s basically… perfect in every way, looks just like Johnny Depp’s character. I swear you shoulda helped them work on that movie. :wink:

Amazing.

Hey… nice modeling… why wouldn’t you try to make a mesh-based hair??? You know, not with particles… i think that would be more cartoon style…

Hey, here’s an update, got some more clothes modelling, and a quick start on the hands

C&c

Different angles and lighting:

damn, you’re good!

i kinda like the baldness, its starting to grow on me :smiley:

Hey, here’s a small update. I took a break from modelling and decieded to used blenders new shape modifer to make a short facial animation clip.

A clip taken from the Corpse Bride:

“No!, I ment no I do not, not wish to be married. That is, I want very much to-” (gets hit on head by cane) - “owwww”

Here’s the mov. (server maybe be kinda slow, the hands are kinda ugly i know)

Hey thanks for mirroring

His facial test and blinking are mimiking the movie, that is why there is a lot of blinks

I love it! i really do :smiley: i’m a big fan aswell

Yeah, his lip-syncing could use a bit of work.

Excellent model, though. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ve seen a lot of work on CG characters on this forum, yet none of this type. I like the fact that you intend to animate this, yet due to me not having quicktime, I can’t watch them :frowning:

No matter, i’ll keep a watch on your character, and as for now, an exceptional job dude!

Very nice work. From what I understand, the animation was just a test, but I would suggest more anticipation, and snappier more exaggerated movement. The puppets that Tim Burton uses tend to stiffness in motion. No reason to keep things quite that stiff in 3D. :stuck_out_tongue:

Also, the lip syncing needs a little help.

Just offering a little constructive crit. What you have is great, it just needs a little massaging. And kudos on the modelling, it is spot on.

great work! awsome!
The blinking in the animation should be a lot faster tho, when you blink you don’t close and open you eyes that slow. a few frames should be enough.

Wow… Looks exactly like him! I think you should remove the red undershirt, though…

i love that film, and think burton should start more cg! [blender]!!!

nice model, really perfect, work on the hair with a curve, add a greasy effect:D

Great work…maybe even a tut in the near future??:rolleyes:
