Another try at a (muscular) new soldier model

<< < (3/4) > >>

Destructavator:
Well, so far this new model seems to be working better than the last, I've got most of the body textured now, including the boots that I just did.  Now it just needs a little work on the gloves and neck for the texture, then I think it will almost be there.

Here's a few quick shots, these previews use a 2048x2048 JPEG texture, although for the game it will of course be scaled down.  The 2048x2048 I think would only be used for high-detail cut-scene movie clips and renders, the battlescape I'm sure would use either 512x512 or 256x256.

I also put the Phalanx logo in the belt buckle, something I thought was a nice touch.  (I've learned a lot of new texture-making stuff recently.)  I could also put patches or stripes on the upper arms, now that I know how to do it better.

Mattn:
looks quite nice - are you still working on the tag tutorial?

Goodness!  I totally forgot about that - I'll get started on that soon, as one of the next things on my TODO list.

Nice to see him kneeling rather than crouching! The crouch always looked a bit odd and unstable to me.

The texture looks really pixelated for a 2048x2048 texture. Is it not rendered properly in these screenshots or something? I know about digital camo, but the pixels seem particularly large.

Yeah, I intentionally made the digital-ness (pixelation) really large and exaggerated so that it would still look digital when viewed from a distance - keep in mind the battlescape camera only zooms in so far - but as I look at it again and again I'm starting to get less happy with it.

Here's an alternate - do you think this would work better?
