GG skins models too sometimes!

[God Gundam]

Posted this on the nnk forums, but yup, learning to skin ><, its a pain in the ass. That and I had to pick a character that was white too =( As far as what im gonna do with this model i have yet to decide. Thanks to Kama for his teachings, much more to learns, hope to see more from me.

Enjoy Casshern!, The GG rendition based on the Casshern Sins anime!

Oh, and btw, the glowy eyes arent made with photoshop =) YAY rendering tricks!

You'll get there, maybe a character with more actual texturing next time would help too

Nice Casshern

Well im no expert on skins (nor models) so ill just give you a random crit ^^

I think you gave him to much muscle defenition. And the C sign looks kinda distorted because of that.

Technically it's texturing or painting a color map, skinning is a secondary part to rigging where you map vertex weights on the mesh to the rig.

Not 100% on this, but I am pretty sure that form of skinning only refers to 3D Studio Max, which of course not everyone uses. But I have only used Max and Lightwave, so I don't know for surez.

Anyway the skin is alright GG. I don't know the character but from the ref shots posted it looks like the chest emblem is wrong and the black lines on the suit should be thicker around the thigh and shoulder area. Also his eyes look pretty distorted from the front and a little cross-eyed.

I'm talking about Maya... the be all and end all

Max, Maya and XSI all use this convention, the only rigging/skinning programs that matter.

Also GG what do you use to UV? I'd seriously consider switching to roadkill if you don't already use it.

Eh, thats where i kinda went off on my own on the model. I felt he was too plain and it woulda been boring to skin somethign that didnt have a little definition =/

Ya, its not the greatest skin, i picked a funky color to play with. Even kama was tellin me white was gonna be interesting. I suppose I can attempt to fix the emblem. as for the distorted Eye, ill look into it, since im new to this whole texturing thing, i thought it looked ok =/

I used just the plain 3ds max UV mapping system. it worked out pretty well I think.

As far as this model goes, its skin practice, i spent a good solid week workin on this one. so after i fix it up a bit ill probably store it and move on. I have a whole assortment of quick models im going to be making to practice skinning on. =O

Haha nice one, roadkill is pretty good hey? The edge functions make unwrapping so much faster.

 

[God Gundam]

its faster to unwrap everything, but to get the maps how I want it exactly takes about the same amount of time just about that UV mapping in max does

 

[Damaera]

Like I said on MSN, love it! <3

 

[God Gundam]
