Comicon Challenge 2011 entry Captain America + Wonder Woman = America's Wonder Girl!

[sarakawa]

This is my entry for the Comicon Challenge this year. The theme was to do a opposite gender superhero or different time period. I knew i wanted to do a take on Captain America, so female version but to spice it up, I decided I would do the daughter of Captain America and Wonder Woman.

Very nice, well done.

Hi Sarakawa,
Nice job, everything looks nice and clean. I like your presentation too. I do feel though like the gloss on some of her skin is a little tight. I like how rich and saturated the colors are though.

I posted this in my main thread a while back but here is the highres turnaround on Wondergirl.

looks creative!! I've never thought about Captain America of Woman version haha !!

I've wondered how to make the zip on the boots, and the scale pattern? could you share the tips ?

Looks great, this deserves a high res render.

[sarakawa]

@Mr Guy: thanks man, i would love to learn mental ray and render her out that way but ive done a few attempts and just havent had any luck with it. i see you do a lot of high res renders...any tips or good tutorials?

[Mrguy]

What types of problems do you encounter? Is there anything specifically you would like to know?

[sarakawa]

@Mr Guy: Basically I just get confused with all the settings. I've tried a few tutorials and it seems to work well if i follow the instructions and use meshes that apply to the tutorial. As soon as I use my own meshes and textures, I have problems. I also can't get normal maps to work i don't think. I just want to do some simple renders of game res characters so it shouldn't be that hard.


I decided to do a turnaround render in marmoset.

Great work...color ,execution, presentation.
One question: how did the scale?
Bye

I've gotten this question a couple times about the scales. I actually did the old fashion way of just making a very simple single scale alpha and placing each one. Of course I had mirror on so I only had to do one leg and half the chest. In retrospect, I probably should have UVed my basemeshes and just created a tiling alpha to just tile over the whole areas but it didn't occur to me at the time. Still, it really didn't take that long and I was happy with the results!
