[Hex] Marvin the Martain [WIP] - Polyloop

philip_ho_ · 10th August 2008, 16:46

It's been a while since I've posted here with new stuff, anyway, there was this really cool Marvin the Martian toy I saw the other day and just decided make a model of the looney tunes character

. Still work to do on the feet and need to start on his skirt thing around his waist. C&C welcome.

It's a nice beginning. Now, you could improve legs and feet.

Grendel · 11th August 2008, 05:12

Its a good start but you may want to gather more reference images. I think the scale is off for the head/torso. You may want to try the shoes as separate objects.

philip_ho_ · 13th August 2008, 23:56

Thanks Grendel you were right, the body was far too big, here's a better scaled version. The modelling is pretty much finished now, going to rig it and texture it now

crazy wabbit · 14th August 2008, 04:59

very nice, hex only or carrara now?

Grendel · 14th August 2008, 06:06

Much better, good job

rickei · 14th August 2008, 17:04

Looks good

crazy wabbit · 14th August 2008, 20:27

Can you make tutorial step by step or video one
and share

Couerl · 14th August 2008, 21:01

I love that guy.

philip_ho_ · 15th August 2008, 15:10

Thanks, I'm glad you guys like it.
The modelling was all done in Hex 2.5 and unless there's a rigging feature in Hex that i don't know of I'll be using Max to rig it and for renders too. I'd like to try and use Blender too but I'm a bit confused on its interface, anyone got any good tutorials for blender that I can follow? And as for a tutorial, I've never made one but I'll try and see what I can come up with, might be a while for it to happen tho

Hi guys, here's the finished Marvin. I actually finished it a while ago but had no time to post it up due to work.
Hope you like it.
C&C more than welcome, don't be too harsh....

Nice model!
You used displacement painting on the hat, didn't you?
My only critique could be to enhance a bit the textures, it looks very cartoony as it is... but probably is just how it has to be.

philip_ho_ · 15th November 2008, 16:37

Thanks carrozza i'm glad you like it, yeah the textures are meant to be just a simple flat colour but i didn't use displacement painting on any part of this model, it was all done using edge modelling and box modelling.

gugesbri · 22nd November 2008, 23:25

Do you plan on animating this character?
If yes, what animation program will you be using?

Thanks in advance,
Gustavo

philip_ho_ · 23rd November 2008, 16:05

Even though this character is fully rigged and set up for animating, i have no plans to actually do any proper animations with it, al i've done is a simple walk cycle to sort of test the rig. If you're intereseted i'm happy post the MAX [v9] file and you can try making something of it
