High Poly Bloke (56k warning)

[Lupus]

This is for a personal project I'm working on. I'm also going to try to use this to create a normal map for a low poly version. I'm trying to get a sort of exaggerated realism thing, think a comic book character but real looking (hopefully hehe).
Currently I'm skinning him, which is taking awhile (keep getting annoying problems just when I think I'm on the home straight).

Anyway, here are a couple of images (some tweaking has been done since I made these quick renders, but nothing major).

thats looking pretty cool is that

Hmm. What reference pics did you use? I saw a picture of a male on the internet and he looked different.

 

[IchI]

The male is incurate in some ways, but it seems very nicly done. You seem to be able to make a good model but your reaserch needs some work. Make sure you actually know what something looks like before you jump into modelling it. Very good work imo.

As I said, it is a kind of exaggerated realism. I did plenty of research, and the model fits in to the reference pictures I used (below). I looked at photos of bodybuilders, human anatomy diagrams and basically incorporated them together. The reference pictures were a bit too exaggerated for what I wanted, so I toned the model down a bit. I'll do texturing and clothing etc. once I finish skinning him (if that ever happens, damn annoying wierd problems).
And also some areas have already been fixed, I just haven't rendered since them. The shoulder area has been improved, the head mad a bit larger, chest toned down a bit, as have the arms, ear has been tweaked some more. Not major stuff, so I didn't bother making renders, it isn't much different to look at.

I think I'm the only one who saw you said that

 

[Lupus]

Hehe. I was inspired by the work at www.panzar.com , they are doing more of a blizzard type exagerrated realism thing. Y'know, little head, huge arms, round belly but it looks fantastic. I have made good progress with the skinning (bah that shoulder area is tricky) but have some kinks to work out, so hopefully I will have some test animations in the near future.

 

[Wraith]

i think if you want to make it realistic, he should have some type of way to procreate...

 

[Lupus]

A couple of wireframe renders. There are some deformations due to some of the mesh moving a bit when assigned to bones, and only one side is currently in the process of being skinned.

nice, looks a bit like a muscley version of Jimmy Hill, if I dont say so myself

The only things bothering me at first glance are the knees (they look a bit long and maybe bent inward) and the face (I'm not sure what the problem is, but I'm thinking either something with the structure of the chin/cheek/jaw area or the brow).

u shuold make him have no shirt, a mullet, and a red headband and some black pants and make a big machine gun for him and have him be rambo... that would be an awesome model

[merc]

that is so cool, how do you even begin to model something taht complex? that is just flat out awesome what you made there

-merc

Where's his dick? He doesn't have genitals.

 

[Lupus]

He doesn't need any since I'm not doing animated porn or nudity (notice where I said I'd add clothing later). And I have no personal interest in modelling them since they wouldn't be seen anyway.

Don't tell me that you aren't aware of the fact that cybermen don't have one...:O

Hey, I don't make fun of you! :E
