Work has been pretty quite for the past two days
so I decided to do knight and here it is, roughly two days work maybe less
the rig was just a quikie he deforms pretty well and I haven't really touched the weights.

EDIT: will reduce image size when I get home.

looks great so far mate! Just the blood on the top right hand side of the chest plate looks a bit fake. maybe boost the opacity?

I will take a look at that, but in the meantime here is another shot with a little bit more done.

Hey Dae

Nice. Good bit off texturing too!!

Jay

Do you plan on bump mapping anything on this? I think it would look great if you did for those gold design leaf thingies on his breastplate.

Is that topology or just the texture?

Thanks Jay
there will be a bump map once I have completed the colour map,
thats all geo

nice modelling and the texturing is really bringing it to life

Wow, great work. What was the poly count again. You seem to very efficient with your polys, knowing when to and how to use them. I espicially like the calves on, they look very detailed.

Thanks guys

the poly count stands at 5280 tris

Great work Dae, quick question, that shader you are using to test stretching on your uv map, know where I can get that?

Thanks,

I have no idea where I got it, but the guy was happy to give it away, he said it was softer on the eyes, anyway here it is

Cheers for that dae, is it straightforward to use the checker? Just pop it onto your UV background or something or use it as a texture?
