The Republic, a character render
on: April 15, 2002, 07:09:48 pm
Well part of my own little sci-fi universe, I decided to render up the face of one of the major characters.



In his late 20s, a topnotch pilot and squadron commander in the Republic of Sol who has been thrown into the deadliest conflict ever known by his Emporer.

cool. are you gonna tell us more about your little private imaginary world or are you gonna leave it all in your mind? :D
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

I don't know, Jason Lee or maybe the The Void might kill you if I told ;) (The Void is especially touchy about things like this...)

How does he do it.

I cant model faces that well yet.  
I dont model faces.

Yeah, poser had the base model because it would take too much time to do an original mesh, organic things I can do spaceships are *groans* well I thought they'd be easy :p I exported it into Max and added some more mesh detail though so I could stretch/play with it like playdough in Poser for more detail, plus UV mapping.

On the hair: Planes, transmap, and texture.

On the face: Photos, photoshop, Max to tweak the UV mapping of default Poser models

I could do the hair in photoshop, but this is quicker and means no post-production...

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

the first one needs to brush his hair- joshua hondle or something? yeah. he needs better hair, and his skin is so pale... the second one, robert michaels, looks strange cos you can see his hair through a non-existant body...
i guess, render-wise, they're good. im in no position to tell...
:)good job, dude!you deserve a cookie!

Everything I wanted to be said has been said already. ;) I'd love to see neck and shoulders on those, but that would mean you'd need to make clothing too, which would double your work. Looks good. :)

Just a curious question (not meant to be sexist or anything but)

Why does it take a girl to notice that first? ;)
