That's some quality work right there, and it looks like it will still look great as a low poky model (with a baked normal map of course).

@Daniel wright 2311 Thank you.

A Lot around 3 million as is. After I get the boots finished i'm going to retopologize him to about 3.5-4.5 thousand poly's(don't know how many yet but that's about what it should come out to. Maybe a little less or more.). then im bakeing the normal map from the high ploy to the low poly model. and it will end up looking just as detailed.

this is the base mesh its 2,112 poly's.

Here are the parts of him in full resolution.

His face.


His head.
[img]

His arm.


His shirt.


His hands.( I need to fix his thumb didnt see that oh well.)


His pants.


His unfinished boots(working on them still.).


Hope you all like him. What price (points) should I put him at 400 points($4.00) or 500 points ($5.00).(better question how much would you be willing to pay for him on the tgc store.)

Update of where I'm at in this model.
wireframe


No wireframe


This was just a test to see where I needed to improve the topology. Need some work but coming along pretty good. hope you all like, Its right now at 1,872 poly's so its probably going to be about 2,500 poly's(maybe less.) when I'm finished with it.

Can a Mod edit my title to just W.I.P. Henchman for FPS. If I could do it I would. Thank you in advance.

You need to widen, and flatten his boots, they are super-slim, and too tall.

I think 500 points would be appropriate if the great looking model has a great texture. Of course, I wouldn't mind if it was free.

Noted and will work on it. I thought this also but was trying to stay with the reference image, but I think ill fix them. thanks for looking out.

@ A dude
Quote: "I wouldn't mind if it was free."


I wanted to let the users of TGC to have it for free as a way of saying thanks for all the excellent free stuff Ive got from these forums. But since ill be selling it also on Unity asset store and turbosquid I didnt want them to find it here for free and not make any money. So if they do find it here ill still get some of the profit from those users. And since they had to do some work to get it working in other game engines I wouldn't be upset with the lose of profit from that. Its going to be $15.00 on unity 3D and $25.00 on turbosquid(cause I'm letting them have 5 different file type of the model plus the sculpt in both .blend and .OBJ.). Other then that it would of been free, But i do have something in the works that's going to be free for you all.

Quote: "I think 500 points would be appropriate if the great looking model has a great texture"


As far as the textures goes I'm only going to make them as good as Bond1's and Errant AI's. Don't want them to stick out like a sore thumb.

The final model with a normal map. Now on to texturing him then animating. the two on the outside are the low poly and the one in the middle is the high poly.

the low poly is 2,956 poly's. the high is 3,315,991 poly's.

@Quik
The belt loops will be in the texture if that is what you meant.
If you meant how does it fasten its like a fanypack(could not spell that word right with out it saying I was using foul language.). I got the idea from the zbrush forum on a pitcher of a model from the new ghost recon.

Yeah sorry about that. The belt was not going to be on him at first. I thought he might need one after i change how his shirt was. So it was a after thought when I started sculpting him so the belt loops would of messed everything up if I added them in at the time(with out starting over on the pants.)

No everything is was done in blender 2.63a. i'm even going to do the base texture in blender. I wish I had 3D coat or zbrush for the sculpting though. those boots would of been 10x better, because blender doesn't support masking in its sculpt mode but 3D coat and zbrush does(and yeah mudbox does to. Before someone else says something about it.J/P)

Yeah but you can only box hide. Now if you could shape hide sections like you can mask thing it would work. But that's good news thanks for telling me.

But on another note here is the texture w.i.p.. The skin is almost done, Eyes need work, and the clothes are only been started.

Are you sure that you are texturing the correct model? You corrected the boots, and now they are tall, and slim again.

I know Its been a while since I had an update(been busy with my job.). But I'm almost done. The texture needs a little more work before I can say its finished. Then onto animation after that its done. Hope you all like tell me if something need improvements.

Edit:updated the screen shot.

hey! that is looking veery sweet!!
Love the texture on the arms and on the clothes.. those folds are amazing!
I think only the face could use a tiny bit of more work, right now he looks quite friendly, somewhat surprised... maybe his eyebrows are a bit too high... or maybe shade the hollows of his eyes beneath the eyebrows.... maybe it's also because he doesn't seem to have eyelashes yet, right? But really awesome model + texture!!

You're off to a good start but the proportions of the head are wrong (this is a common mistake). His head is far too big for his torso, along with his neck and his eyes. If you're going for a cartoonish look then Id recommend going all the way and scaling up his lower legs / feet to match, otherwise downscale his head. Here's what I would do:

Thanks you New World Order, Pincho Paxton, and RUCCUS
for your help and nice comments.

Quote: "but his face looks like he has been kicked in the nuts!"

@Pincho Paxton
lmao how did you know what i was going for.

Oh right as asked I did some work on his head/eyes.(re-did his whole face to match his eyes so that part took a while. because I had to re-sculpt it and do a little remodeling but its done.) Next Ill have to redo the texture for his face because of the new sculpt/baking of the normal maps. But I hope this looks a bit better.

Okay but no way in hell is it getting any smaller!!! Just playing



but on the other hand it just might be the view I'm in. Its orthographic, here is one in prospective.



And here is the reference picture I used(and wire frame of my model.). I got it off CGcookie it was done by Tim Von Rueden.

The reference image looks right but there still seems to be something off about the model. Either it's the bulge in his neck formed from the mask or what. I do think if you added more muscle going from the back of his neck towards his shoulders it would help balance it out.

Its just an opinion, if you're happy with your model then by all means stick with it. Its still a good model regardless.

@RUCCUS

Your opinion is very valued to me(so are others). Ive seen your work and Its astonishing to me. And anyone that can do 2X the quality that I can do deserves to be listened to in my opinion. The head thing was just a joke, But it might be the muscles. But it also might be the mask because it is hanging down on his chest. Ill play around with it some more and try to make it look right(if I can if not it will have to stay I don't want to mess it up you know.).

The only reason I questioned it was cause when I tried down scaling it, it started to look like a shrunken head. So I pulled the reference pic back up to see if I was on the right track.

Edit: I think my joke are getting confused as if I was being sarcastic or just rude(exp: the clown feet and the shrunken head.) I meant no offence, just me playing around and more making fun of my model then other peoples criticism. So If I have offended anyone I apologize. I'm a laid back guy and mean no harm by what I say.

This all depends on if it will only just be a fpsc model , if it will be for movies and such ,yes , eye lashes could help.

Nah its just a game model(unless someone turns it into a cg model.). But there was a comment that had that in it. Just wondering Cause I really didn't know how to go about doing that with out adding more to the mesh around the eyelids.

Planes with transparency works pretty well for lashes, for a male, I wouldn't bother unless the face will be seen close up. They can help even at a distance on females to help sell femininity

Okay I need some help now or this model ain't going to see Fps Creator. This is my problem I can export it into Fps Creator just fine but when I go to add a shader it goes all weird on me. So I did a search and found out in the shader you can change the bone matrix to fit your armature(the original being 60 or 32 in some cases) I only exported my key frame bone(there is only 34 That I exported, 334 for all which is way to high.)(I drop my rig and use rigify and customized to fit my needs.) But now Since I did that the texture doesn't show up Just a black model. Any suggestions.

Edit: I think I found my answer. [/b]Note to self READ ALL INSTRUCTION BEFORE TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT..[/b] Tell you all in a while if I still need Help.

Been a while since I have updated so here is something to look at.(animations are taking longer then I anticipated with my busy work schedule.) And in the zip are the textures of this model if you are planing on buying it, so you can get a head start on retexturing him if you want.
zip includes: UV's, diffuse, normal, and A.O. map. and the native gimp file.
