hi, this is a model i'm working on. once it's finished i'm considering using it as a basis for a game character. she's quite strongly influenced by private vasquez from the film aliens.  the vest top is pretty much done, the bandana needs some work and i'm going to make some combat trousers and boots (the shorts are just temporary). all feedback is welcome. i'd be interested to hear the ladies views on the model's physique and clothing. |

...Nice, but one problem i seem to think is that she has no hair coming out of the bandana(Which looks more like a beanie hat.)

Vasquez was more muscular, as she'd have to be to lug around that large minigun.

good point, i think the legs might be muscular enough, but she could definitely do with some more upper body strength.

I have a proposition about the shape. Would it be possible to "merge" the clothes with the body instead of having them upon the skin (like how it is in real life). It's more for skinning flexibility purpose I guess (so you can replace that shirt with another piece of clothing without major problems -- I tried to reskin a bit with Beret but quickly gave up because of this)
It's just a proposition.

Would it be possible to "merge" the clothes with the body don't worry, that's the plan. i'm keeping the clothes seperate for now so i can use the body as a reference to get the shape right. kind of like a tailor's dummy. once i'm happy with the clothes i'll remove the unnecessary body part and make it all one mesh. what i will do is mark the seams along the edge of the clothing when it comes to uvmapping, so the skin and clothes will be clearly seperated when it comes to painting the texture. makes life a lot easier. i might even put the skin and clothing on different textures so that different shaders can be applied to each if required. i'm reading an interesting book right now. Modeling a Character in 3DS Max by paul steed. he's did character modeling for quake 1 and 2 (among others) and the book is really useful. |

no worries anyone, you made some good points. i know i'm doing this in a weird way, making a high-res model instead of a low res model that would work for the game. it's just that i'm more used to this kind of work and i find it easier to get the shape right when i can see it as a more realistic human. once i'm happy with it i'll start work on a proper game model.

ok, latest shot. i've taken dmn-clown's advice about her needing more muscles to lug heavy weapons. i've ditched the clothes for now and started resculpting the body. i figured the legs looked strong enough so concentrated on the upper body. she's looking a bit more solid, which may not be to everyone's taste, but it fits the role.  |

Do you really need those toes?
You're using makehuman, right?

Arms still aren't big enough. It's just the arms that should muscle up, the torso is pretty solid.

dmn_clown- you're right, there's a weird dent on the wrist. thanks for that.
leilei- yeah, i originally used makehuman, now i'm tweaking the shape in blender. i'm not going to use this model for the game character, this is more of a sketch to get the shape right that i'll use as a guide when i make the actual game model.
bank- cool, i was wondering if i should bulk the arms up a bit.

ok, i think i'm happy with the "sketch" now. i've done a front and side render combined them into a single image that i'll set as the background image in blender to use as a reference.  |

ok, the vest is modeled. it could probably do with some poly reduction, but i'll leave that for now. to make life easier for people who want to make custom skins i'm going to map all the clothing to a seperate texture. here's a shot of the vest with a quick skin on it and the uvmap layout so far.  |

Looks really nice so far, and the idea with separate clothing is really nice. I should also tell you, from my virtual girlfriend that doesn't exist, that she really appreciates that you are doing this and that she also likes the model.

the bulk of the modeling is done now. i just need to add some hair and ears. the legs and boots are a bit crude, but i can always add more detail later if required. i've been putting edge loops in at the joints. i used one for the wrist, shoulder and knee, but i put two in at the elbow because it looked like it might do more movement than the other joints.here's a shot where i've coloured them blue and magenta.  |
