myself WIP

[iamtravis316]

for class we have to make an organic model, so i thought i would do myself (plus i already had my head modeled from a long time ago :) ) so heres what i got so far, the modeling basically finished and now im working on the textures, remember this is still a wip and there's still quite a bit of stuff i need to do to the textures. all i have right now is a diffuse map on it because im still making the textures.

software,etc..
3ds max 2009, rendering in scanline right now, and i unwrapped everything

Show refences! :)
If you want to animate yourself :) change your arms!!!! Your hands have to look on floor.
It's neccesary! :)
Nice model for GTA. How will your make texture for head? I recomend to whatch gnomon's tutorila "texturing character for prodaction"
In this tutorial man make texture for head in ZBRUSH. Very good method.
Keep up the good work!!!
Though now put into prison! :) :) :) Real hooligan :)

thanx, as for the hand i dont plan on animating it but i might still turn them over, i dont know why i did modeled them like that lol and for texturing the head i have already unwrapped it and will prob. texture it in photoshop. although i would like to do it in zbrush but i have no experiance at all in zbrush for painting. or anything all i can do in there is basic sculpting.

heres another update. im almost done with the texturing. ALMOST. but theres a couple of things i need to do to the head and im going to re do the hands. and then i will start making a bump map and all that fun stuff

ps. this is also the first head ive ever textured (thats why there are prob plenty of mistakes but im getting better :) )


ps (this doesent really look like me lol i thought it was going to but it doesent :( the body does but not the face

[iamtravis316]

heres another update.

i think im done for right with this. i still have like 4 weeks to work on it for class and theres other things i want to do. but i think it looks pretty good for my first complete person.lol

[iamtravis316]

also does anyone know any good tutorials for making hair (in depth tutorials not "heres the modifier put it on it and that all im going to show you" tutorials)

because i want to put my hair on there, since i have a mohawk, i need some short brown hair coming out on the sides(to the middle of my ear) and longer orange hair coming out in the middle front/back. (down to my lips but pushed to the side) and the hair i tried to do looked really bad lol on the model

[shashanks18]

hey dude, nice progress!!! the face textures look good too....

well fr the hairdo, i guess thr's nuthin better dan the Hair n Fur Effect in 3Ds Max, if ye're doin it in Max dat is....cnt tell about Maya though.....

Max hair effects has combing, n coloring, everything......try dat... :)

all the best!!!

[iamtravis316]

thanks yeah i was going to put the hair and fur modifier but i dont know how to use it to get good results. thats what i need the tutorial for and all the ones ive found have not been very helpfull

[shashanks18]

hmmm.....ye want a mohawk rite???? i'll try on...

oh but wait, do ye want hair on the rest ov yer head as well or jus a hair bundle in the middle....coz as far as i knw, mohawk has both the ways, sum ppl hv it only in centre wid rest head bald, n sum ppl.....well, David Beckham if ye mite know??? sum ppl hv short gelled bundle in middle wid short hair on rest ov the head....

if ye hv mohawk in reality, send me a pic, i'll try to make a hair effect like dat...
