I Just Wanted to Post an Image Thread

With his goatee so white, I thought at first glance he was in the middle of shaving when he was interrupted. It wasn't until I read your comment when I realized it was actually a goatee instead of shaving cream.

I should have started out my statements with: "This is Oliver Queen, the Green Arrow"...

So to give her a fighting chance, they decide to fight fire with fire. Buttercup is the strongest, so she gets the armor upgrade: a HALO inspired armor. This is the first piece of many. I changed the texture of her suit, to show that it is new also. This chest armor is fully UV'd, but I haven't started on making the maps just yet. I just used a metal shader via the physical surface node.

 

[Miss B]

Looking good Rokket, though I'd like to see more of the armor's detail. I'm assuming you'll be adding some once it's UV mapped.

Yes. I have a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong way to go before this one is finished. When I did the Halo armor for Miki 4, it took me almost 2 weeks just to model it. Another week or more was spent on UV mapping, and then another week on textures.
I am speeding the process up now, since more than 5 years has gone by, and I've learned a few things; like how you can UV map a lot sooner, as subdivision can be done after you UV map, so I am UV mapping as I go. But the maps for the final textures are a ways off.

 

[Rokket]

I am dreading the rigging part of it, though. I always struggle with rigging for V4. I don't know why...

 

[Miss B]

Oh you're talking to a rigging n00b, as I've never even "tried" to rig anything, though I really need to try it . . . someday.

[Stezza]

Very cool

That is a common sight in my area with Roos lying around the car in the front yard

 

[Miss B]

The Roos really make the scene Rae.

 

[Rae134]

Thanks Miss B and thank you Stezza for letting me play with your model

Here's one with a new updated metallic paint job and white leather interior (they definitely didn't come out with this combo)

And this is more how I'm used to seeing them. Abandoned and rusted up in a paddock!

So I took the metal shader off the armor after I made the belt. I also noticed that I used the wrong suit in the last image, so I corrected that.
I am working from her feet up now, making the boots.
Still a long way to go on this one.

 

[Rokket]

So here are the boots finished, and the bottom pic is how the suit will look under the armor. These are the suits that Dr. Featherstone and the professor developed for the girls after metamorphosis. The armor is developed by a mystery guest near the end of act 2 of the story. Since Buttercup is the strongest, she is voted to wear the armor. I don't want to give away too much, but the decision to use the armor is because the bad guy is wearing armor. Fight fire with fire.

 

[Rokket]

I got the thighs done, and this is the whole armor, at the bottom is what it will probably end up looking like once I get it textured. This was an experiment, but I like it.

 

[Rokket]

I am trying to decide how to do the arms and the helmet.

Arms, probably just some armored gauntlets that cover the forearm to the wrist. Helmet... I don't know if I want one yet.

I am giving it a rest for the day. I'm pooped and my eyes are strained.

 

[Rokket]

I lied. I had to do this... The chest armor is a prop converted to a figure. The rest is cloth sims...

 

[Stezza]

A Wacky Glider modelled in Carrara!

 

[Satira Capriccio]

Not whacky! That's a cool glider.

 

[Miss B]

I'll say. Looks like it would be fun.

Hey Stezza, did you model that house on the mountain?
