16 Oct 2005Right, after 2 weeks of family issues & other bad things I got back on it. Currently most of it is unwrapped, I still need to do the smaller details of the neck & some other small bits, but that should be done pretty fast.
I'm thinking of making him more dirty, opposed to the clean movie version. But my texturing skills are pretty poo. I'd love to have some pointers.
100% Self Illuminated

19 Oct 2005Sorry for not replying earlier Franklyn. Those links (and especially Leigh & Wiro's) are really helpful! Thanks!
I just had to try 3dsmax8's pelt mapping, so I re-unwrapped most of it. The only thing left to do is the neck bits & fly pack now.

Alright. I didn't want him sparkling, right-out-of-the-box like in the movie. The color suggestions were made by Schmung, Azelito & Pete, and I must say I'm quite happy with them. What do you think? -
20 Oct 2005Hey that's really cool! Not sure about the red....but maybe it'll suit more once the rest of him matches up
-
21 Oct 2005
^Update, it's 100% self-illuminated
-added some burns to the sides, shoulders & neck
-more dirt & scratches
-I need to redo the shoulder pads, try to ignore them for now.
-It needs text
-Does anybody have any suggestions for the rest of the body? -

I oversharpened it. Apart from some smaller things this like text and such the torso is done. Only 4 maps remaining ;]
I'm not entirely happy with the neck, but it's the best I could do with the UV's. The meshsmooth fucks up the map pretty bad in places D: -
24 Oct 2005all things considered that is WICKED,
you said you used max 8 pelt map i believe, is it easy to use? -
24 Oct 2005Yes, very. You just have to define your seams, click the pelt button, and click to unwrap. Then it unwraps. Imo manual unwrapping is still better, the pelt mapping evens out the stretching over the entire model, which can be a good thing, but can also a pretty bad thing. (e.g. when you want to add text). But then again, you can always edit it manually. But pelt mapping saves you so much time.
There's a video on it on the autodesk site, it's really as easy as he puts it:

25 Oct 2005Thanks you :] Yeah I painted everything myself, with the help of some grunge brushes though
Update, there's more, but that sucks so hard I'm going to redo it entirely.
-I need to color match the black parts
-Get rid of that white thing on his face
-Some maps need some edits
-It still needs more details like text, but that'll have to wait
-Obviously the arm's WiP
-I failed at the eyes
-Everything 100% self illuminated -
27 Oct 2005I'm very sorry but I haven't been able to finish this because of various personal and model-related reasons. 1 of them being the UV's suck so hard in places I can hardly do anything but giving it a basetexture and some grunge :/ Apart from that I still need to unwrap the neck parts and jet pack. I could finish it hastily, but that won't do me nor the model good in the end, so I'd rather finish this at my own pace.
Again, I'm very sorry.

27 Oct 2005No need to apologise... it's looking good! I'd like to see it in a nice lighting setup, as the self illumination seems to wash out the contrast. But I like the grunged up look you have.
Not quite sure where you have failed on the eyes. Perhaps it's not the look you were going for, but it's one of my favourite parts. It looks like the thing is burning some fossil fuel in it's core, like the inside is really hot and the light is escaping through the slitted eyes. Very menacing... I like! -
27 Oct 2005Hey man no worries! Although we enjoy seeing your work, we're not going to hold you accountable to it or anything
I'm happy to see that you were able to get done what you did
