Another character

Here's a couple of images of a model I'm working on.

Hi Andrew,
it looks absolutely INCREDIBLE :grin: Very well done.

Martin

P.S. What was his name? Frozo ?

Thanks Martin, I think he was Frozone.

I modified the head and visor a bit. I can't wait for bones, positioning this character was really difficult.

Hi,
yes, it was Frozone indeed

I believe you. That will become easier for sure.

methods used ?

Hello, Nice character !
could you tell us a little bit about your methods ?

- Is the entire figure 1 mesh?
- Are the colors/textures based on a polygon selection,
or other kind of mapping?
- If positionning was hard, how did you succeed ?
- On one of the renderings, one can see an "underlying mesh"
how did you get this effect ?
Are they the real polygons making up the character?
In that case: extremely effective constructing !
- On the subject matter :
why an existing icon like frozone?
is he your personal idol, or was it a personal or
professional challenge ?

I'm curious...

bye

It's two meshes, one for the body and one for the visor.

- Are the colors/textures based on a polygon selection,
or other kind of mapping?

Yeh they are polygon selections.

- If positionning was hard, how did you succeed ?

I had a basic ref. image.

- On one of the renderings, one can see an "underlying mesh"
how did you get this effect ?

That was the only image I composited together from a screen grab of the iso mesh and a raytraced render.

Are they the real polygons making up the character?
In that case: extremely effective constructing !

Yeh the model was made up of polygons and then subdivided.

- On the subject matter :
why an existing icon like frozone?
is he your personal idol, or was it a personal or
professional challenge ?

Wow what an interesting question. I love the movie and Samuel L Jackson was an excellent choice. As for my reasons for modeling him it was to see if I could. The extras on the DVD give me the idea. Pixar use a generic model for the basic of all the secondary models. So I took my Morph model and had a go. I've also covered all the techniques used on my DVD.

Hi,
Very cool! I can't wait to see him fully animated!

Eureka!

Hi Andrew.
Got any offers from PIXAR for "The Incredibles II"? They´d better hurry up.
Very, very cool Frozone.
With kindest regards
