[Blender 2.46] Alien Guy - Polyloop

JakalDesign · 28th June 2008, 00:02

Hello ladies and gents. I know it has been a really long time since I have posted anything up here. I got a new computer because my older one died on me. So with the new one I have Vista on it... so unfortunately my Softimage|XSI 5.11 license will not work anymore

and I can not afford to upgrade. But not all is lost... there is always Blender and I have gotten accustom with it and actually like using it. Plus since I compile my own builds... its super fast!!!

Anyways, enough of my rambling. Here is the model of my Alien guy. Doing this piece with the consept of "Lost in Space". I will post more up when I get it completed.

nice

I want to see it textured

simonced · 28th June 2008, 09:22

Yep, what a nice model !
Go on !
Can we also see some wires ?

Thomas · 28th June 2008, 09:55

Very fun model Jakal! Is the alien mixed with the spaceship? Did you rigged it for the pose or just simple deformations?
No wireframes. I suspect some triangles

-ash- · 28th June 2008, 10:21

Love it. Great cartoony feel. Reminds me of the Jetsons (anyone else remember that?)

Will you be placing him in a full scene?

JakalDesign · 28th June 2008, 13:57

Here are the wires for you guys... and the uvs.

No rig for this guy... I simply modeled him in this pose.

You should know that a professional like myself would never use triangles in his model.

Ha ha ha... well, I can spot some on the back of the head just in the UVs... luckily he wont be animated so not that big of a deal.

Yes... he will be looking up at a huge sign just filled with all kinds of arrows point every way you could imagine. Hence the "Lost in Space" concept.

I think the head has to much polygons and I would say the topology isn't really good (the head only) because I wanted to suggest you to rig at least the head, and create some facial expressions

Great model, I think the expression says it all

Could you not dual boot your new pc if you still wanted to use the old software ?

Thomas · 29th June 2008, 21:28

Huh?? a triangle???

JakalDesign · 29th June 2008, 22:35

Well, actually... that one is a quad

... just the angle the pic was

solt · 30th June 2008, 01:23

the triangles hunters are around here

good model.
wait for the final image with textures, background etc...

JakalDesign, good to hear you getting the hang of Blender. You're lucky to have gone past the UI/workflow barrier most people are complaining about. Blender is what we all have in common because it's accessible to all.

That's probably where we will all end up with.

Dann-O · 1st July 2008, 03:53

Nice I like the addition of the tongue.

Thomas · 1st July 2008, 09:36

Damn, a fake triangle! OMG !

Well, stop joking, the next step now!

CGRookie · 2nd July 2008, 02:42

Can't blame you, Thomas.

Blender is known for having lack of n-gon capability. But a regular code contributor has been working on it for some time now. It's called B-mesh. Hope to see it added when version 2.5 is released. I don't know when. Maybe a year or more. Who knows?
