Hey, just got finished with my samurai model for a game im making. Pics below. Btw his arms are supposed to be that for ease of UV mapping and Assigning verts to bones. Tell me what you think.

I used Milkshape 3d to make him.

Shoulders are there geometrically, just rotated for easier texturing/UV mapping ect. Ill fix them real quick and take a shot.

Hey, before texturing him, try animating, why?, well, you might find a problem or so with it's geometry when animating. I had problems of my own at it, and had to re-unwrap and texture my char after I edited the poly to have a more descent animation...

Ahh, thank you all. No this is all self taught and some from tutorials... I maybe should aimate him a little first but not so much for usage in game because they wont survive the unwrapping. so ill do that when i get home from school and ill post a UV and see if i cant get someone to texture him.

I would say self taught, theres no training in Milkshape, plus if he had training, I would think the quality would be better. Tis a good model.

Nice and low poly, but whats with the geometry, doesn't seem to run smoothly as it could together.

on here
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y116/KrazyJimmy/SamSmooth.jpg

each part don't flow into each other properly, look a the torso and sleeves, the geometry there don't flow together so good, it might be solve through mesh smoothing or sumfin

The geometry on the wireframe look alright, its just looks odd in the picture above

also im redoing the lower half due to a joing problem i knew i would have.

Hey K razy, you need to re weld some verts on that model. That will clean up the areas like the back and where the arms/shoulders meet the torso...Looks like the head and hair need to be re welded as well (I can see through the model in your picture)

Good Start

@Seppuku Arts

I meant, are you a 'licensed' 3d animator/artist or are you like me and just like to do it? BTW, I want to go to SCAD when I graduatify. What tutorials did you use because I am currently lookin for some but, I can't find any decent ones I don't have to download. I got dial-up and just can't do it.

lol BenDstraw, good way to be blunt and honest.

@Suppuku Arts

Do use the "manual vertex-making then manual face-making technique" when you made this? I am curious because I just bought Milkshape 3D and I used this method. I think it is easy for angular stuff like guns and building, but I am not sure when it comes to character making.

BenD is right, I'm just a hobbyist, and my work would be better

Some say that box modelling a face is the best way, but I tried the vertex/poly technique and like it, I posted my work at CGTalk and was told to use box modelling because my approach is too slow and box modelling should be quick and easy, which I am learning to do. But you can use that technique on cars, guns etc.

There are various tutorials on the internet, for the vertex/box modelling approach I used the Joan of Arc tutorial, google it, its a pretty famous tutorial, its directed at 3DS max, but isn't tool specific.

As for my box modelling I use a Cinema 4D specific pdf file, so it prolly wouldn't make sense sending it to you. (plus you don't want to download)


So my best bet for vertex faces and box bodies, I'd use the Joan of Arc tutorial, it helped me a lot, just do the tutorial repeatedly, and each time it will look better.
