need crits...novice models

[Mr. Hyde]

I'm new to modeling and I just created a site with some samples of something I'm working on. It's half finished but I know that there are things I can do to make them better. Tell me what you think.

What are you working on? It's hard to identify. But it looks very good so far. Is it a normal human body or a are you trying to make a DBZ character?

 

[Mr. Hyde]

answer

It's supposed to be a start for vegeta.

 

[Emeka650]

Good

Your better then me when i first started modeling.You are good.Just try fixing up the legsThey are to skinny.Good start:yes:

Half Life needs a top quality Buu Saga Vegeta. You know with the all dark blue suit. The Vegeta in your sig.

btw, Good Luck with your model

 

[Mr. Hyde]

Thanx

Yeah, I'm working on the right leg now. Haven't had a lot of time for it, but I have been trying to steadily improve. I'm using primarily wings 3D for the model right now. I am curious though. Is there a particular method to skinning? Do you all know of a good skinning program? I am planning on making this a buu saga vegeta model, by the way, though I doubt it will be really high quality.

paintshop

get jask paintshop prr paintshop pro which ever one.There are two of them.They both are good.Or just get milkshape and go to skin section i think in groups tab.

 

[Mr. Hyde]

cool

What are the websites for those? And how much do they cost?

 

[slinger]

Sorry to vote no, but , it looks more like a chicken, but i'm sure you will make some good/great models if u practice some more

 

[Mr. Hyde]

chicken?

I haven't done the hands or feet yet, so of course it looks like a chicken;/

I dont know how close you are to finishing, but I have to tell you something. Unless you're 1% done, that picture is horrible. I'm not saying it because I'm some sort of arrogant ******* who thinks he's better than you. IMO, hard critiques are the best ways to open the novice modelers eyes. You need ALOT of work in everything. Post a more updated pic when you get the chance, because a big oval lump with for protrusions for limbs and no head or any sign of definition is not good at all. Now if you post a model that looks half decent then I apologize for being harsh.

IM me and I'll give you some help.

[Mr. Hyde]

yeah

You're right and I'll try to get an IM to you. However, like I said, I haven't had alot of time for it. It is more like 25% done as far is just the un-skinned base model goes. I'll try to update the site pics. I'll also put my new sig I made( haven't figured out how to link pics so that I can post them here. If anyone knows, give me a yell). Tell me how you like it(It's a first as well, though it's finished!). As for as harsh crits, I'm not opposed. However, I could use a few nicer ones to go with them

 

[Hibiki]

yeah im agreeing with vegeta here


its awful

 

[Mr. Hyde]

Hmmmm

I updated the site. I guess it didn't help much. oh well... I guess I'll have to wait until I have time enough to finish it before I post again. sorry......o_o

 

[JoeFunk]

for a newb model looks perty good

definently work on the legs and the tooth pics in pllace of his arms j/k the back needs to be placed out more and the wast needs 2 be wider by a tad :yes:

 

[Mr. Hyde]

thanx

thanx. I tried to add some muscle definition to the arms. I'm no expert on physical form, but I tried to make it look better. Is most of the muscle texturing and stuff supposed to be done on the model or on the skin?

 

[koblano]

I sry, i can't even pretend to link it. It needs a lot of work. Maybe try foolin around with the ESF models and get used to what you need, then start messing around with your own. Just a tip. This is just constructive critisism.

 

[Mr. Hyde]

heh

There's only one problem with that. I don't have a program that will read the esf models. I know milkshape will probobly do it, but I really don't have any more time with my traveling to invest in it. I simply put this post on to see from some of the more expert modelers if it was on the right track. I really haven't spent so much time on it that it's supposed to be almost finished. However I thank you for posting and trying to help me. Please continue to do so. Perhaps one of you could start a model and then post it here so I can see what's lacking, if it's not asking too much.

 

[Emeka650]

Nice

Your good HYde.Keep up the good work:yes:

 

[Mr. Hyde]

k

thanx guys. I will take all of this into consideration and try to work on it more than I am. Thank you everyone that posted, good or bad, and expect to see another one of these sometime!
