Thats good Kumar. Either I should have entered as a noob, or you are not a noob.

[kumar]

Hmm, well i think that i am a noob. Guess i was working with lightwave daily and doing projects that was way out of my league that gave me some skills. The dragon model i uploaded was my first real project that i did. At first was really crazy but i stuck with it and it turned out great.

So back to todays little update, got the basic torso going. Simple box modelling with 4 seg at the y and 2 on the z, then just shape your pecks, then smooth shift the bottom and drag points around till i got this.

damn nice modelling kumar, keep it up!!

[Mark]

Yep. Looking really good so far.

[kumar]

Well i know that i need to finish up the torso and all, but was tempted at doing a skull logo for maybe the belt or gaunlets, or something else. But surely will use this somewhere. Dont really want a realistic looking one.

Hmm, guess i got a little distracted thats all.

Oh ya and this started with pen and extended its way to this.

[kumar]

Well after yesterdays nights little distraction, today's update is the torso... Hmm great as the weekend is here and i am totally free to concerntrate on this, so hopefully i will have more updates today.

Time check.. Its 2.30pm, this pic is around 2 hours into the torso. Tweaked a lot. And reverted, to tweak again. So here is what i did, Smooth shift around 2 times to get the shoulder, 4 times to get the arms. Smooth shift the hip around 2 times, turn off sym, and then smooth shift 6 times to get the legs, Smooth sift here and there for details.

[kumar]

Well getting tired,,,,

Time check says its 5pm. Just finished the hands. Box modelling and smooth shifting around a lot gave me this.

[kumar]

Well did the feet too,

[kumar]

Well here is the last image for the 2 and a half hours that i spent on the torso, joined the feet and hands.

The head is not attached as the points are more than the neck, so i just kind of placed it neatly. By the way does that matter when you animate it???

Ok think i will take a break and start to think about armour and other scene deatils. Or maybe i should start the texturing,,,,, MAN i hate to texture,,, cause not good at it. Well we will see what happens.

[Mark]

Very nice modelling there Kumar. I'd suggest taking another quick look at the finger and toe nails though. They look a little flat and round like somene's been at your character with a lumphammer

[kumar]

Hmm, thanks Mark, Guess i might get that later.

So time check now tells me its nearly 11pm,,,, hehe hope this freaks out someone. Well i decided to start modelling the other things he might be wearing. Hmm, so i modelled a low detail skull and put it around a chain of some sorts. Dont think i need a very detailed skull,,,,, maybe later when i further develop the character. The skull is quite easy to make, i started at the eye scokets and then extended and drag points along the way.

I know that he is starting to look tribal and all, but i do intend to give him armour not a grass skirt. Also i am thininking of an unusual weapon. Any ideas from you guys??? Think thats all for today

[Mark]

Weapon? Hmmm... I'm kinda getting the image of one of those energy staff thingies from Stargate...

[mtmckinley]

Making nice progress.

[R4s1n]

Awesome progress on your barbarian

I would like to see him with an axe type weapon.... where one side is an axe and other side is like a spear
just a suggestion

[kumar]

Thanks guys,,, Hmm, actually i orginally had ideas for the axe. But guess the weapon will be the last few things i do. Really wanted to get something going yesterday, guess was busy. So that makes me free today. Man i work weird. Ok time check says its 9am. I will start in about 9.30 and come back and update what i have going.
