The model is good... But the skin still needs some work... (i know you hate criticism but you must get used to it... ) anyway what you could inprove is the face... especialy his eyes... they look very dull... more anger would be nice though And the highlightings of the golden parts should be more yellow than white.... but still nice work

I think your problem isn't the model or the normal maps they seem decent enough. Aside from the face and neck areas, I think your only real problem is what has almost always been your texturing. I find that texturing models with normal maps is in a lot of ways easier because you don't have to create a super great lighting, that's done with the normals and specular maps, but I do think it gets a lot harder when you want to get rid of that plastic look. I find the easiest way to do this is to keep my texture to bare minimums almost no highlights and only soft shadows where there will almost always be shadows eg: underneath folds, under hair etc on top of that a good cloth texture or flesh if your doing flesh will really make normal maps pop.

For leather as I'm assuming his jacket is a leather jacket i think the easiest way to do that is with almost no texture maybe some very subtle shadows and a really intense specular map coupled with the normal map should work nicely.

That's just how I do it and I've had a lot of success doing it that way, Dunno how much it will help you but that's how i roll with normal maps lol.

 

[Synth]

Well considering he had the UT3 engine in mine, the texture is completely perfect.

 

[TeKNiK]

Well considering he had the UT3 engine in mine, the texture is completely perfect.

I'm not talking about engine requirements I'm simply saying a texture improvement coupled with the already in place normal maps would greatly improve his model. I'm sure gir will know exactly what i'm saying.

 

[Almighty_Gir]

yeah cheers Tek, good to see you again!

as always my texturing isn't up to the same standard as my modeling. but we can't be great at everything haha! i'll continue to tweak the maps for sure. i'm just enjoying animating atm.

edit: started this at about 8am, got it to a point where all i need to do is tweak it to get the start and end to loop seamlessly =]

overall i'm pretty happy with the animation. if i do a closeup of the face, he smirks and his eyes move before his head (eyes are the key to facial animation i think...)

anyway, let me know what you think. i've shown how it'll look from 3rd person (gameplay) and if you were to look on him.
