Abe Sapien

[ncollings]

here is an update, i think i'm done with the hipoly. so i started to polypaint a first color pass of the skin.

[koyima]

great work on the texture ma, nothing to crit.

[Giantsun]

I only hope you are going SSS with it once you textured it all. It's gonna look crazy good!

[nellement]

Great progress ,color choice si great too!

[modeller2526]

Fantastic choice of colors. The model is looking better and better.

[ncollings]

koyima, nellement, modeller2526: thanks guys, glad you like it !

Giantsun : yeah maybe i will try a sss shader on the hipoly version but i'm going to make a in-game model actually. thanks for you comments

update:
i finished the first texturing pass. Now i'm going to start on the lowpoly . I will work on the textures again at the end , when i will have the color, normal and ambiant occlusion maps baked .

(some of the colors (such as the button) are just there as an indication for the baked map.)

Hi ncollings,
I was one of the two make up artists that made up Doug Jones as abe on the hellboy movies and I realy like your model. If it were mine I might pinch the nostrils down a bit and feather the stripes a little but that's just me !! Great work ,I love the vest.

best crit SIWEB, if you think it's cool, i think he nailed it.
maybe one thing i would try and change is the ribs and specifically
the pattern on the ribs.

nice work on the leather btw. i also totally dig his anatomy
and the work on the clothing.

i also think it would be interesting to test a shark effect (back dark/belly light) on him.

but it's great like this

[ncollings]

SIWEB: hi man, thank you very much for posting your thought about the model . I'm gonna fix those 2 things you mention.

koyima : thanks dude for your comment too

Hey ,it's your version of abe , theres no need to mess with it because of something I said . In the movie the nostrils are smaller which I think makes him look more 'alien' ! I like how you've moved the calf fins to the side - interesting !

[ncollings]

SIWEB : héhé, yeah sure

Giantsun : here is a little test render of the head with sss shader. just for you .

[Intervain]

nice I thought he doesn't have ears sticking out?!

[skylngtr22]

hey, nice work on the abe really good job.

[ncollings]

hey magda, in the movie you're right no ears but actually in the comicbook he does have the tiny ears sticking out

skylngtr22, thanks man.
