[LPR] Luigi

[TeKNiK]

Decided to Enter a Low Poly modeling contest at Cgchat. In short, You must redesign a game character with Nintendo DS specs. I added a more detailed description below.

Description:
Model an existing or made up game character with handheld console specs(in this case, the NintendoDS). You could mess with the design and create a whole new character, but it would still have to fit in the excisting game you choose. So yes: you have to choose a game(sure this limits creativity, but the challenge is to see if you can make a character that would actually fit in an excisting game universe).

Rules/Specs:
There are 3 options:
1: Model the Main character
---Specs: 350 Triangles, 1 128x128 texture(with/without alpha maps)

2: Model a Boss:
----Specs: 512 Traingles, 1 256x256 texture(with/without alpha maps)

Now on to my model. I've basically completed the actual model and I'm working on the uvmap, but here's a quick shot of the model.

Any crits or somments would be appreciated.

What is it with recent spur of low poly character modelling everywhere [everywhere being polycount and cgchat]?
Anyway, nice. He could use a crotch though, and those four polygons sitting above his eyes aren't really needed (considering the charater would primarily be seen from the back)

 

[TeKNiK]

The four polies about above the eyes are his hat lol, and since it's luigi he'd more than likely be seen from the side

Looks sexy, slap a skin on that *****, would love to see a realistic luigi.

I'd just had the idea in my head of him being using in a 3d platformer instead of a side scroller, lol. Don't know why.

[PiXel]

Hehe, lazeh, i see you pelt mapped the face , i can tell by that evil spread mouth thing.

Looks mkay, but the eyes look bad, there really wide at the top, and look more like waluwigi's eyes.

 

[TeKNiK]

Working on it a bit more

here it is on the model:

Luigi's moustache didnt look like that. Have a look at this picture then compare it to your model.

It's a bit ridged for a Miyamuto character.... but you can easily fix this issue I believe.

 

[TeKNiK]

don't know if you read my initial posts but I only have 350 triangles to work with. Which means I have to skip out on a lot of details. Furthermore, the competition is not to recreate a game character but to redesign it.

 

[DBXMe2]

its not that good looking? looks like he aint a friendly kid's game

 

[Suh Dude]

Luigi smoking pot and sniffing some crack eh? You need to fix that. :-O

 

[CrackerJack]

Hail nazi verision of luigi ^_^

His head is really messed up, he looks like hes on drugs.

Its hard to explain whats wrong with it, but it seems his head is too long

got a link to competition?

 

[ReCkOninG of FirE]

i dont know much about luigi, i've only seen pictures of him which are like 6 pixels lol

Anyway texture wise, i think it looks great for 128 cant wait to see the finished product.

answer: Nintendo DS and PSP handheld pioneers.

ontopic: Luigi looks great man, as long as it isnt supposed to be true to luigi i think you can add some stuff like a diff clothing color etc. legs need sum details
