character - girl [nudity]
 

Hey all

After a long break from Maya i picked it up again today.
Its funny.. it seems that my break made me better somehow :P

anyways.. here is my new project. My original idea was to make a cartoonish pinup girl but for now im sticking to photo reference. I can allways exagerate (sp?) later.

i have been strugling for a couple of hours to get them breasts to look ok..

Modelled with Connect Poly Shape.

Heres a test render:

(Dang.. how could i leave Maya for so long??!?)

Glad to have you back in the wonderful world of 3d modeling... I know exactly what you're talking about when you said the break made you better somehow... A pause from time to time really does wonders... Good start on the body... maybe a little too smooth at some places but I'm sure you'll fix them later on...

Small update
 

Small update...

made her a little belly button :D
added legs
refined some muscle on her belly

todo:
refinement of back and legs etc.
hands
feet
head

don't forget collar bone details. :) Looking good so far.

cant wait to see it coming along ;)

Thanks for your replys :D

the collar bone is not forgotten, but thanks for reminding me :) i'm planning on making that when i attach her head.

I was too tired last night to post an update when i called bedtime (at 3am) but heres a quick render...

made refinements on her back and buns :)

i think i'll start on her missing body parts today.. might be a good idea to leave her body alone a bit so i wont waste hours moving points and eventually mess it all up :D

Looking great !

Yesterday i started modelling a foot for the lady, and boy do i have work to do!!!

i hate feet! I have been pushing/pulling verts for approx 2 hours and only managed to make a lump of meat with sausages sticking out from it :rolleyes:

im almost embarassed to post this render, but its a progress view so here goes...

you're too funny..:) did you try any of these tut for feet..

I s it cold in denmark now?

thx for the link :)

yep went through lots of tuts.. but now it seems i nailed it..

I got stubborn and that did the trick :)

its getting warmer here now.. about 15 degree celcius today. Warm enough for T-shirt in the sun :D Cant wait till it gets hotter hehe

i'll post a render before bedtime.. i've come along way since my sausages :D

Finally the foot is starting to look like a foot :D

bedtime for me now ..

It's looking very good rotbol, giving me inspiration to get going on my WIP. Can you post a shot showing the low poly cage? Perhaps of the back? I think you did a very good job on the spine and shoulder blades. I'm looking forward to more updates.

thanks contrast :D

I have som edgeloop issues that need fixing on the body.. when they are fixed i'll post a wire of the ultra low poly cage (like 150 quads or so)

the images shown here is smoothed x2 :)

After a few "nice try's" i managed to make a good beginning of her head.

http://www.rotbol.dk/images/wip/pinu...up_head_01.jpg

Im still working on the edgeloops but its comming along nicely i think :)

Small update:

edgeloops are running much better now.

The nose have been refined

i promised to upload a wire of the body.. so here it is :)

Looking good rotbol. I like how you were able to keep the complexity down on your low poly version while still getting nice details. Keep up the good work!

Thanks Contrast! it means alot :D

I've been tearing my hair out trying to figure out the right size for the eye ball.. tried every diameter ranging from too big to too small without finding the right one :rolleyes:

is there any neat trick out there???

oh well.. next step is the dreaded ear and hands.. I'll post updates when i get started :)

over and out for now :)

I generally get the eyeball size the way I want, place it on the head, and position the eye socket around it to make it fit.

rotbol, for the hands and ear, which I have already done for my model, I used the joan of arc tutorial and I think they came out well.

Have you done a hand and ear before? When I made those for my model it was my first time doing them and I was apprehensive to start, but once I started to see some nice results I realized it wasn't as bad as I was expecting it to be.

Looking forward to the updates.

mike: been there, done that... Trying again when i get home from work :D (patience young grasshopper :P )

contrast: great tutorial.. i have seen it before but skipped it for some odd reason :rolleyes:

i'll go over it before i get my hands dirty creating ears and hands :D

Thanks for the replys!!

Looking very nice :)

worked on the eye tonight. DANG what a nightmare :D

the eye ball is just a temp shaded ball..

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeej rotbol!! what's been up! I've been very busy with my wip but I see you've been too! Did you see what I made from YOUR cpstut!! I can't thank you enough!
I love the body! Is there going to be a tut for that too!! ofcourse in cps right ?
I can't wait to see the endproduct of your wip!
Are you going to texture this btw... becuase I've seen a couple of tuts about uvmappig but is that same stuff also for the cpsmodels ? how are you going to texture...
well ...lot's of love out too ya! ...I will follow this one! take care ..ltrr

ps. and oh I did something about my neck btw... It was horrible to see it so DANG straight..thanks for pointing out that for me..

Thanks ransick :)

i really cant take credit for the cps head tutorial as i didnt make it.

caligraphics was the maker of that tutorial.

anyways.. I dont plan on making any tuts just yet.. i'm still just learning :)

the great masterplan is to model, texture, rig, create morph targets and pose or animate her.. the whole package!

lets see how far i get LOL

-rotbol

Time for an update...

I have made the ear and attached it on the head. The colarbone is now visible.

body parts are attached now.

Things missing:
Hands, refinement of arms, hair, textures and perhaps some clothes :)

and a quick render:

http://www.rotbol.dk/images/wip/pinupgirl/pinup_8.jpg

Man, you are really improving !

Crits incoming :

- Those hips .. make them curvy instead of a place to set your beer :P
- Details like knuckles and veins on the hands
- details on the knees
- something is wrong with the thighs.
- you need a little more definition of the wrists
- legs is a bit short (but that might be teh perspective)
- the feet seem a little square'ish..
- something is wrong with the prorportions at the shoulders
- lift the breasts a little

wow you definatly skilled..I can tell ya that..
you know that Im trying a female but im just at a lower stage...it's nice to see you made progress...

btw..jsut to let you know....I know caligraphics is the maker and hero of the cpstut...
so
Caligraphics...
peace out to ya! :D

greetZz

looking damned awesome, but there's something up with the big toe... it just seems a bit... thin or something, not sure how to pinpoint it...

Carsten: Those are great crits. thank you! :)

ransick: i'm trying my best :P I've seen your model.. looks good!

Zyk0tik: Thanks! hm the toe? i'll look into it when i fix the ankle


i've been working on some of the things Carsten pointed out:

lifted the breasts a bit
lifted the waist line
made the hips more curved
tweaked the feet a bit
tweaked the arms and armpit
tweaked the shoulder too

http://www.rotbol.dk/images/wip/pinupgirl/pinup_9.jpg

i still have lots to tweak.. ankle, knee, wrist, hand and her neck..
