Action Hero - Righteous

[zeke3d]

go out and get some body builder reference, either online or a magazine you can pick up at almost any grocery store. this will help you a TON! everything else being advised is also pretty solid, I would make sure the knee is just above the 2 head height.

I think that I'm happy enough with the figures proportions and anatomy to move this on a bit further.

Given the characters backstory, I thought that something similar to a 'Monks Habit' would be fitting to the overall look. I have blocked in this rough 'cape' for the time being and will see if it fits the image later. I think it hopefully gives him a more 'sinister' feel. Yes he is a 'hero' but he is not exactly a cut and dry 'good guy'.

Your creepy guy is starting to look real good. He scares me!

Hello all,

This is my very first attempt at using Transpose Master (so don't laugh! ) for a full figure pose. Still learning this stuff as I go. I think it's getting there (obvious issues with the mask over the nose etc and the hand pose needs a lot of work).

The cape/monks habit is still only a rough model without any sculpting applied yet.

Lots to do an so little time to do it in. It'll be Christmas again soon!

WOW!!! Your progress is coming along very well. Love his post.

Good start with Transpose Master. Some deformation is absolutely inevitable. I think that that's one reason to leave some detailing for later, after the transposing stage.

Nice transposing! Legs have a great position and look very natural. The arm positions need a bit more work to give the pose more impact.

Xcellent model and GR8 presentation

I like the pose you put him...very natural. You are doing great with Transpose Master!

Awesome work!!

Hello all,

I have not had too much time to work on this model recently. I have retopologized the model and now starting to work on the pose. After much head scratching with Transpose Master this is what I have so far:



I have also made a quick turntable showing the pose from all sides:

[maxinkuk]

Cool, you used turntable plus. It looks great. Good start on the traspose Master also.

[Moni-Poroni]

Looking good so far ....I´m looking forward to your next post

[MINTY]

Cheers guys. Yep, I used turntable plus. It's a great little piece of kit.

This isn't really an update as such. I was wondering how my base mesh pose would look as a book cover as I thought this would give me an idea as to whether the pose is 'heroic' enough and would make me concentrate on the basic values before getting to involved with the sculpting details (if that makes sense to anyone let me know lol ).

I did this image in photoshop as a kind of reference image/guide. I thought I would place it in my WIP thread to show you the ramblings of a mind that has seriously had too much coffee today. Now on with the details!

I believe in the power of caffeine. It looks great.
