Sumea Modeller Challenge

Hey everyone welcome to my sumea comp 8 entry thread. My characters name is Konjou Kouken (spirit guardian). Set in ancient Japan he was know as the wood assassin training up in the mountains during the day and assassinating high ranked corrupt shogun at night. He would live most of his life trying to right the wrongs in a corrupt and brutal world through the only way he knew how. After hundreds of years of civil war as the edo era arised peace and new days flourished. He also changed his bloodthursty killing ways and choose to seek peace within himself. He would reside at the Zenkoji temple as a guardian and devoted his life to the safety of its followers and the path to enlightenment until death.

That's coming along really nicely. Man I wish I was that quick with my modelling ... well I'm getting there. I must admit I wasn't that impressed by the concept at first but seeing the model as it is at the moment, I really think it should come out well with some nice texturing.

Shath: Hey dude, yeah I'm not too bad. Yes I will definitely be using a combination of max and zbrush for the high poly model.

Hey everyone, here's my first high poly progress. I've started with the head so I can get a feel of the character. This is the head I had in mind.

Real nice, there is something about the look of default grey that just so much cooler than textures.

LOVE the little detials around the border of the shield :)
Curious is that just on the diffuse or is it also on the normal map? And how did you do the Japanese(?) signage on the face of the shield? Alpha masks in ZB? or PS normal map plugin..or did you just model them and placed them around the shield?
Oh and what are you using to view your normal maps?

Submitted by Delmo on Mon, 28/08/06 - 11:19 PMPermalink

Makk: Hey, I'm glad you like the sheild. The little detail is on both diffuse and normal maps. The Japanese kanji was done in zbrush and the little detail was done in photoshop. I'm using 3ds max to view my normal maps.
