That is truly awsome!!! Did you use the same technique as Fused?
Can you show us a wireframe picture? Also, did you painted the skin texture in CHeetah or UV mapped through Photoshop?

Regards,

Peter

Hi & Thanx.

I can´t tell about Fused´s technique, because I didn´t see the video he made. I started with a kind of a ball stretched to fill my sketches I placed in the scene like the blueprinters do, but without a blueprint object of Cheetah3D.3xxx. Ears and eyes were done seperatly and added via import-children. The texture based on a digital photograph taken lefthanded. Put it in an editor in a layer over a screenshot of my dummy and pulled it via griddistortion to its new shape. Sounds strange? It´s a bit like morphing in slowmotion. I applied my textur via flatmapping upon my virtual countenance. No UC coords were necessary. (But of course a second nose is growing on the back of my head;-) )
The mesh is backface culled for an easy reading.

With kindest regards

Hi Frank,
wow that is a fantastic model. And you did an amazing texture painting job. The skin and the beard look so good. Wow

Bye,
Martin

Hi Martin.
Thanks.
The texture is not painted, it´s more like a photo printed on a ballon and stretched for flatmapping.

With kindest regards
Frank

I keep trying to model charactors but still a long way off. You are an inspiration.

 

[Martin]

You are an inspiration.

That's true. I'm currently thinking about how cool it would be if that character would be animated. That's a big motivation.

Bye,

Oh yes; Sing: "let him speak let him speak let him speak."
And all he will say: "Can I have a coffee please, I´m a bit tired"

Thanks for compliments
With kindest regards

Very nice Frank. I really like the sketches too. Did you do them?

 

[frank beckmann]

Hi Jake.
Yes. But these are are just twominutestelephonesketches as you can see.
Any likeness would be denied. ;-)
The attached drawing´s heigth is 10cm/4" and a 10-minutes-later-shot.
With kindest regards

Hi,
very very nice. I wished I could paint as well. But if you would give me one year I wouldn't accomplish that :sad:

Bye,
Martin
