You forgot the model.

 

[Alcrifice]

free server hosting blows. sry about that peeps.

 

[nostgard]

I have to say... no critcisms! Very good model, it looks natural. Any chance for a wireframe version?

 

[IchI]

nice prep on the body, the face is well done. Looks sweet tbh. The hand look a bit weird but thats because of the angle. Well modelled tbh.

 

[Alcrifice]

i actually had a lot more planned to do with this one, but im going to leave as is just because im going to use him to practice skinning. and i want to start with the not so complicated stuff. here is a bit more updated shot with wires. ill leave wip when i get the skin going.

2096 triangles

 

[Alcrifice]

wire

 

[Nostradamus]

where i would give more detail:
head
hand
waist
botom of shirt/top of trouses
perhaps more detail in the head


very good, but you have to remembe that this is HL2 ... it shouldnt looks too blocky, but very good start i must say

 

[spin]

Impressive. It has a great sense of form and has smooth and flowing edges. No crits here except perhaps modeling some of the more important ear details.

 

[Alcrifice]

thx im going to try and keep this one low poly though ;] im not looking a hl2 standards.

 

[!-fgdf-!]

head and top are ok but legs..
much toooooooo fat. Work on it

 

[Jubei]

Model looks great, but as !-fgdf-! said the legs realy look to fat.

 

[random.hero]

only just notice form Jubei's post the legs r a tad too long i think, and yes a bit podgy, but very nice model. u could just Meshsmooth it and it wud still b under the polycount.

*Edit* i was hoping to learn how to model like that, but i cant seem to find a good starter tutorial. hmm maybe u cud help me out, just a few pointers, how to make the basic arm shape, leg shape and face...plz:cheese:

 

[Alcrifice]

hmm maybe your right. but i dont want to risk the idea of the legs being skinny ingame. id rather have the baggy/loose fitted style than tight.

random.hero - i learned most of my stuff from books like paul steed's character modelling book is very indepth. all i can tell you is just keep practicing.

 

[random.hero]

hehe ok cheers

Night of the Living Dead springs to mind. Good proportions, though.

 

[Incitatus]

Excellent! The proportions are spot on!

 

[Fonk]

V.good, would like a brighter render for crit purpose tho, What you can see now looks really good.

 

[mindless_moder]

the legs seem a bit long but then thats just me anyways its very well done so stop updating it and copy the model and detail it to a very highpoly model to use for nomral mapping.

 

[Alcrifice]

im in the process of skinning him. im not going to normal map this one ;]

 

[nw909]

I wanna shoot him!

...

wut?

 

[Alcrifice]

yea i definitly blow at skinning. im getting there...
the crease near the adams apple is just an issue with the symmetry modifier. itll be fixed once i weld him for keeps.

 

[Alcrifice]

hmm this is probably the best skin ive ever done. i thought it was crap at first but i like it more and more. tell me what u think at this point...

 

[nw909]

Looks pretty nice, even though the eyes are just flat thingers.

 

[SidewinderX]

nice half-life 1 skin, and very ncie if you're not really a skinner, but I think the hair at lease should be alpha maps or soemthing. This is half-life 2.

 

[Alcrifice]

true true. but everyone has gotta start from ground zero at one point. how am i going to skin with additional maps if i cant skin in the first place? ;] i know what your saying though perhaps ill go the extra yard on my next model.. and yea ill model the eyes too

 

[Wraith]

the nose and ear are fuxx0red
