Getting better...

A while back, I created an old man character, which was going to be part of the intro to my new demo reel. From April till about 2 weeks ago, I managed to finish almost all my characters (7 characters, one main car, and a ton of extra things here and there). Well, I've gotten a lot better at Maya since April, so I decided to go back and remodel everything. You might think this is a waste of time, but it's not. My models now will have less polys, so they will render faster, plus, I'm able to be more creative this time around, as I'm beginning to get the hang of maya. Any way, here's the first of many models. Only 4 hours to model 2 hours of texture:shock: There's still a lot to do, like the body, hair, eyebrows, and clean up work, but I just wanted to show what I was able to do in less than a day.
(Although I did this without reference, my influenced was from Geri's Game, a short film created by Pixar. Probably will end up looking different)

These forums have stalled lately so I'll try to update as much as possible.

Re: Getting better...

I will check it out this weekend..when I'm back home, off this shitty dail-up and laptop...

Are you talking about NGG forum stalling??
 
Re: Getting better...

He's just about done. But I'm moving on to other models for now. I'll do any fix ups later on. His goggles will probably glow.
And you may remember that one car I was making? Well, in my demo, this old guy will be driving it. Should be fun to animate.

Re: Getting better...

Here are some misc. things I did a while back. The kid is the old man's grandson, the fully rendered car was a test, the dude in the red shirt is a fast food worker who I modeled as a test, and the two cars are to show my progress. One took me about 4 weeks to make, while the newer one, even though it looks the same, took me one day and has cleaner and less polys.

Re: Getting better...

The cars look badass and the ppl look great but why don't they have any eye lashes? :confused:
 
Re: Getting better...

The're something you'd usually put in at the end. All but the oldman are characters that are tests, and not likey included in my demo, so no need to take it so far.
