looks very Good :D

Post by: Sheepy on December 18, 2002, 01:24:23 pm
All in all looks good, just the lips look a lil too full
Title: New Character WIP
Post by: Warlock on December 18, 2002, 01:29:09 pm
Thanks,... the lips I can thin out a little more easily. The outfit itself and that cyborg eye may change (the eye will as soon as I can get Blackhearted's Elowen with the completely redone eye replacements )

I'm trying to come up with a new 'arch-villian' type of character for my SW RPG group. Going with a dark jedi ,.. not Sith,....but I'm trying to avoid that just plain looks evil, ie the all black glowing red eyes thing. Kinna like on of the EP 2 concepts for Anakin where they planned an all white outfit.

So please any ideas would be great :D

Can try. I'm using poser so I'm not modeling characters and outfits,... just combining bits from different ones and such.

But lemme know what you'd like and I can give it a try, I'm normally home all day anyways :D

Sweet, basically its a military man for the [shamelesspimp]NW unirevse (http://www.nodewar.com/forum)[/shamelesspimp]

Its a guy who wook for a minority nations military, set in 2400, he tall, about 6.5, short 'messy' browny black hair, has big **** of rail cannon but apart from that i cant tell you much about him :p

[edit]Oh yeah and his name is Indie Young[/edit]

I'll see what I can do. Male character's are the worst to get things for (go figure most of the 3rd party ppl doing Poser files are 13-25,...wonder why they mostly do chic stuff lol)

If nothing else I've got a fairly good looking combat armor,..sortof like ... ohhh wtf is that movie ... the one with the kid that goes into Mobile Infantry to fight all the bugs?

that's it. *slams head on table* Sorry I spent all morning setting up a freaking Compac Deskpro 4000 (P II) that my dad got from the local county surplus sale.

Nothing screws with your mind more than making a 10 year old computer work somewhat reasonably.

Hey Sheepy,....here's a 5 min-wonder render of the concept I'm thinking of for your character

(http://www.swrpgnetwork.com/mfcrpg/core/ArtGallery/FSDude.jpg)

Minus the BFG of course. (Which if you want check out www.renderosity.com in the free stuff section under poser and lemme know one you like)

Still got to do up some form of texture for the armor,..it's just a grey color with silver reflect at the moment,...also needs a bodysuit underneath. But wanted to see if this was at least the right direction for the character.

Ok one or two thigs (cant tell what you done so far but what the hell), he should be farily well built, have some kind of cool tattoo down his left arm from shoulder to elbow, i was thinking about a cuff kinda earing on the top of one of his ears but its in danger of making him look gay :wtf:

andway, the armour stuff shouldnt be shiny at all, he works in it beat up, second rate, back water military, grubby is good, but dont make it look too crappy, he doesnt have a helmet for some reason. (dont ask me why)

If you have seen akira i imagine the Rail Rifle look somewhat like the laser rifle in that if you know what i mean, wont be to hard to find an image of it, cause its on the covver of the box.

anyway, ill let you do your thing :D

Pretty cool. You're getting your clothes and props from Renderosity? And which Poser model is that?
Title: New Character WIP
Post by: Warlock on December 19, 2002, 09:55:24 am
For the most part with a few other spots ;)

It's the standard Vicky model with the facial settings from Heavenly Faces (or something like it), a customized texture set based off Blackhearted's Ki character, a map and trans to the catsuit (forgot where I got it), the RDNA BlackWidow outfit (ripped from the full character) and parts of the RDNA War Mage outfit. The Dooku Sabers are from Dodger's freestuff.  Mist from the RK Dungeon set, and the Gothic Prison from Awful soul.

*edit* Oh ad the Minerva hair from the Reika character off DLD

Not too shabby.

Drevi in NodeWars.

A nice little femme of mine.

On average poser characters look plastic, so I export and edit the meshes in Max after setting the actual pose set. (since poser is real good for adjusting the poses ;) ) Then I do post-production to try to add some blur and highlights to the fleshtones to make them look a little bit more organic. (these aren't very good examples, as except for the woman's face I did very little post on these two)
Title: New Character WIP

Oh .. ya might wanna check the Right Thumb on your Node War poster ,... its kinna going through the pistol grip
Title: New Character WIP
Post by: Ace on December 19, 2002, 03:24:14 pm
Nah, it's the way the shadows hit it, the grip has a really weird shape.

Plastic as in they look like barbie dolls.

Turn the shadows down a bit or turn off the "cast Shadows" option for the pistol ,.. just looks really odd :D

Gimme a minute. Since I don't really see a barbi doll look here ,.. but then again I never ran any of those through my postprod except to blur a few edges.

Ok .... here's the latest on Kirana ;)

having eyes makes him sick?

I just thought it was kinda obvious... but whatever. Always thought it was funny, how women are finally on equal terms with men rights and such more or less.. yet they still dress/act dress/play provacativly/"slutty" or whatever.

But a man designed Character is totally different :)

More like it's nearly impossible to find outfits for Poser Chics that MIGHT work as a Sci Fi (Star Wars in this case) character, and NOT be somewhat slutty.

Heh check out the artists that design the freebie stuff and alot of the 4 sale items on Renderosity.com sometime ... . 98% is thongs and ****  lol

Her boots and skirt look far too thick for PVC, unless there's some kind of thick liner.  But generally PVC is reasonably close-fitting.  The gloves are pretty much accurate though.
