here is a small preview. this video is real small for the download, but there is a whole lot more animations I have for all my guys.

We cant really give feedback lol,

We cant see nothing, show us a wireframe and rig so we can see the linked areas, a bone colour shaded version would be nice aswell, ( so you can see where bones and verts/ployies are linked to which bones)

you said

this will be in the tutt that goes with the pack

thanks for the comments, If you would like to see the linked face ill show it soon any how, but I will be showing how to link the face to the face rig properly, alone with extra stuff like how to animate a full riged guy.

no offense, but i dont have time to spend sifting through a video.

To be honest, i normally ignore every Download attachment unless its specifically targeted at me or gets my undivided attention.

You guys are being a little rediculous. His entire creation is based on animation, not something you can show through a screenshot. The video downloaded before I even finished clicking on the download button.

I do agree that a wire frame would be good, so we could critisize the mesh make up as well, but the idea in general should be good enough to talk about along with a video.

Although Im sure - Daniel - if you make a longer video showing more of the emotions, and put it on youtube, you'd get a lot more views. People do prefer to watch a link than download a video, even though in both cases its still downloading the video to their computer .

Anyways looks great, especially if you can work a lot of customizability in with programming instead of just looping custom animations.

@RUCCUS

Thanks, Your right, it is something you have to download to see and understand. Bond one even does this with great sucsess, and every one downloads it. his last one was close to 100 mg, thease are only 1 to 2 mg. I will do a longer one then post it on you tube as you stated. Thanks for your critic

The texture size is 1024X1024

I hade to make the textures a little big to be able to fit the teath and eyes and throught textures alone with the map.there is no slow down though as they are all .dds, but I can make them smaller if needed.

Oh, I just realized something (I know this thread is pretty old, but still, it's worth mentioning). To make models such as skin look better, along with smoothing, use a specular map (with the skin parts being really dark) to step away from the shining skin look. You could also use a gradient tool to make things like the scalp of the head shiny (if the character is bald, which in this models case it is), while the skin on something like the arms aren't. If you have made a specular map, I just recommend doing something like using a combination of selecting tools such as the magic wand tool, lasso tool, and so on, to fix the specular map to not making the model shine. Cheers

@SJHooks

well,ok, thanks, the specular map is made realy only for game, this is rendered in 3ds max so the speck is set high to show a little shine. this pack is already released here is the url

Oh, alright. I only said so becuase the model looked good for game usage, and that way a specular map would go accordingly well. But, it's your call in the end
