JOE BOXER....&.....MADAME HOWITZER (Adaptive Skin Studies)

[Mentat7]

They say old boxers never die.....they just get d@mn ugly!!

A little play time from last night while I slaved away on a 200+ slide presentation for work. It was created from a low poly adaptive skin. I am finding that now that I have been learning C4D and Lightwave that I am paying more attention to such things as edge loops. It makes a difference in how I manipulate the mesh. I feel it has given me a better understanding of how to improve my ZBrush modeling.

wowzer lonnie.. this is one of your best modeling jobs.. ill bet that this boxer doesnt have a girlfriend...lol

[Ron Harris]

snicker..my boxers are uglier...gasp...TMI..lol...seriously though my question is ...what is edge looping? That is a new term for me. Thanx..and kewl looking character :tu: :tu:

[Mahlikus The Black]

OMG Lonnie!
This is an amazing model.
The modeling is definately a step up from your already kickass, high-end look...wow!
I am doing an internet search on edge loops as I type!
Would love to see a poly shot if possible!

[The Saint]

I like this one.

I also like the fact that you didn't push trhough with your attempt to abandon the community.

Fantastic modelling. I love the cauliflower ears and it looks like all the beating has dislodged his thyroid from his neck to his eyes - one too many upper cuts eh?. And his smile is classic, perhaps to show of his crowning glory, his gold tooth.

I saw a tutorial on the adaptive skin method of head modelling the other day. It does look like it gives a preliminary mesh similar to the type of meshes used in other programmes for producing heads that follow the facial musculature and are used for animation. I guess as you mention the trick will be keeping it that way.

Must give it a try :)

Madame Howizter


This was a lunch time project. Same method as the boxer. I included a PolyFrame view for those who may be interested.

I love these. Very inspiring. :tu: Nice gold tooth. Did he have to melt down his 1940 Olympic Boxing gold medal to get the gold for it? ;)

It almost looks like his nipples go knocked up on his forehead, as well. Jerry Jones had the exact same problem after his last face lift!

;)

[Houdini]

Eheheh...Mike Tison did his famous ear estetic cirurgy in this guy too... :D :D :D

[boozy floozie]

A very distinctive modelling style. I love that saggy neck you gave Madame.Great touches on all your models :tu:

[gummie]

Hey, this isn't modelling, it's 3d caricature. Nice job Mentat. :)

[MrBraun]

Wauuu!!! Well done Lonnie !!! ;) :tu: :tu:

[The Namek]

omg , she is ugly as hell (in a good way :p)

[Mahlikus The Black]

WOW!
This is excellent!
I love the texturing..especially around the neck!
Excellent stuff as always! :D :tu:

[TVeyes]

Oooh what a cutie :) I fear there ain't enough beauty products in the world for that gal. Good stuff :tu:

[Ron Harris]

golly Lonnie!! Love the texturing on madame...musta took at least two hours. You can tell that you didnt doodle it up in ten minutes like I would have. ;) The king is alive :tu: :tu: :tu:

[Mentat7]

Oh...goodness gracious...no Ron. 25 minutes tops I think and maybe another 3 or 4 to render. I wasn't in a particularly detail oriented mood.

[Mike Rhodes]

Wow Lonnie, just fantastic. Madame H. is truly something to behold. I really like the texturing and 'tude of her. Also there's something "Bride"-ish about her hair. Is she going steady with some dude with electrodes on his neck?
