Uncle Bob is a recruiter in the Imperial Army.
Since the beginning of the war against the new conglomerat,
the imperium needs more and more cannon fodders.

The high commandement assigned the veteran Captain Bob Nickel to
the task of leading recruitment office, and training new soldiers.

WIP - modelling face of Uncle Bob using splines and surface.

Captain Bob Nickel is really what we could call a warrior.
And even if he seems somewhat ridiculous with the big propaganda hat, wearing the colors of the Imperium, arguing at the TelSat TV, he killed more than once only with his hands. He travelled accross the whole galaxy and is respected by all the men and women he commanded.

WiP - added surface modifier and advanced a bit in the modelling .

PS : i'm looking for concept design for the flag of the Imperium.
Uncle Bob will wear pieces of clothes at the colours of the imperium.

he seems like he has a really tall head, but i've seen i few people like that so i guess it's ok

besides that (and the non exsistant upper lip) he looks good!

I'll correct that

About the lips, well I'll work on it when i'll add the teeth...
In fact i want a cartoony design like this :

There is still some tweak here, I guess

Really good work , the only thing a little bit strange is the skull (don't know if it's the right word ), I find it to small : eyes are normally in the middle of the head and in your model, they are too high.

Yes your right, I'm lacking some anatomy/proportion skills here...
Will work on that

Good point about the height of the eyes, thanks for the input, i'll tweak that tomorow.

I felt this guy was more cartoon like, and well proportion isn't always a requirement, look at Homer Simpson, but I guess I took the wrong interpretation

Well, I let the face sleeps a little, meanwhile I work on the body.

I decided to keep splines->surface, even if it s not super fast, I lke the control we keep on the polygons flow with this method.
here the firsts shot, my goal, here is to have polygons to follow as much as possible the muscles.

pretty sweet, just as final comments on the face, up the texture to distinctify(is that even a word?) the lips, and add so polygons to the lips to go into the face a bit more, making them more realistic

Nah high poly modelling is easy and you'd be good at it, once you've finished your low poly version, just smooth it, especially with the lower body they seem like with smoothing they'd make good hi poly parts.


I hope no one misinterprets but thats one nice butt you've modelled and well tis a good model, one thing I have difficulty modelling on a human

I think the arms and hands will push it to 1000-1200 polygons
The head is 600, that will make the whole toon 1600-1800.
Fairly reasonable for DBpro to handle it, as far as I tested.
I mean DBpro can handle way more with a standard configuration, but if I want it to run smoothly with some others like him and a nice level...

Worked on the arm, i had a hard time, as usual.
I made several circles all long the arm, adjusted roughly the vertex and then apllied a cross section modifier.
This gav eme an allready well sorted geometry, i applied a surface on it.

Nice....but it looks like a girl body, and I would say where, but I won't.

I ALWAYS have flame proof jacket...just in case...and a shotgun. If you want any, just ask!

We are all nice,except for that one who's name starts in a m and ends in erranvo.

lol, yeah, i wanted to make his ass more little, but my wife said he's good like that

I'll see, it's not a big deal to make him loose some weight there.

I've more problem with the hand, and fingers particularly, i think i'll remake them, the joint arn't good ...

Sorry i didn't worked a lot on this these two days, i was playing with ZBrush2, it is really a powerfull toy ...

So, I'm on BoB nickel again now, I welded the hands, the feet will probably be finished by tonight.
So if you have some critic about the anatomy, mesh topology etc it is now, because next step is unwrap it .

Tried the demo of 1.4 and it is pretty damn sweet, but a weird style of modelling

[edit]
I think the shoulders could do with sorting out, its a pretty smoothly made model, but they kinda drag a little on the quality

must say it looks much better, the upper arm should be more muscular than the lower arm still, otherwise it looks like he's had a weird exercising program

ok, here my last update, I won't edit anymore the geometry now.
Thanks for commenting



I began the mapping...
separated the main pieces (hands, arms, legs,head, ect) for easy selection.
then I plan to apply an UVWmap on each(ie cylinder mapping on arms,ect), so when I'll finnally apply an Unwrap all the pieces of the body will allready be separated...
