Finally got some time to texture a bit

So, yeah, I'll give my skill a try too, your model are awesome and are quite a good base to work with

So, I started to follow some blender tuto, and hopefully I'll become a bit more usefull

Face texture :

That texture looks like it's from the PS2 ^^

u/Jean-Baptiste Boric June 11, 2017, 06:07:09 PM

FINALLY. DONE. (well, close enough)

Spoiler

565 vertices, 687 faces, 1,113 triangles.

Crappy background image reference not included.

great work!

But this somehow reminds me of this...

I might have gone overboard detailing the 3D asset(s).

Scaling down to ~800 triangles shouldn't be too difficult. The mesh has not been optimized for the target hardware/engine yet anyways.

I guess the next step is to rig the mesh, but I wonder how animations will work. There's not enough processing power for full-blown bone weighting, there's not enough memory for vertex animation and slicing up the mesh into individual objects for each bone is just plain ugly.

I could also try to texture the mesh, but I have never done that before and knowing me it will take a truly ridiculous amount of time, so I'd rather not.

Animation works by assiging one bone per vertex. It does look quite good actually. And yeah, I'll take care of texture.

I wonder how fast this will be on a calc. Also would the model format be easy to convert to HP PPL?

Stilllll aliiiiivvveeeeee. J/k

I am currently texturing / learning blender / hacking models / programming and doing other stuff.

This is what I currently have :

Looking good so far!

You've heard it hear and only hear folks! TheMachine02 is dead!

I like the model so far! How does it run though?

u/TheMachine02 July 15, 2017, 02:18:20 PM

Who said I was alive in the first place ?

Anyway this model is currently @1000 triangles but I will do a very low poly model @400 triangles. At least I have a highres head which will be usefull for animation.
