Are you going to put hair on him, or leave him bald? Other than that, looking good as normal man. :)

thinking of giving him an hair do like mine and i ain't got much on top but plenty on the top lip ;)

still to decide on that once again thanks for the interest ;)

wow, that is awesome man. how did you model that? and how did you UV it?

looking really nice! :thumbsup:

thanks howardporter

as for the modeling just smiple poly modeling that i''ve picked up over the last few years buy reading tutorials over and over and messing about

as for the UV thats take a long time to get anything like right but with help from tuts like this one i'm getting there i think

and here is my very first Human-ish skin attempt

this is the very first render of the colour map still needs plenty doing to it

That's a great model, i'd try to keep the shine to his forehead/top of the head though, basing that on the old people i've seen :p

thanks schmick shine will be back when the skin is finnished
meanwhile Albert went to the dentist and got his new dentures
so he if feeling better now and can get back to solids
:rolleyes:
