an fg rendered version of an unfinished model.

originally the model was set at about 90% complete.

but after seeing some of the new things at the latest xsi meeting.
its down to 50% now.

i can add loads of details with little to no performance hits.

I actually burst out FUCKIN' HELL. That is astounding. There really is a certain realism about it that I can't quite put my finger on. Maybe it's the whole damn thing.

hehe. thanks.
its probably all do to the final gathering techinique used to render it. it has some kinda weird effect on the lighting and surfaces and blah blah and can make things look realistic just by simply making the lights bounce realisticly.

so on this model with a plain old skin applied it sorta looks like an action figure. with the exception of the more obvious low poly parts.

I'm updating tho.
it still might look like an action figure in the end. but definaly a more expensive one with lots of details and attention to all the big things and the little things, and proper skin texture(s)

I just spent the last hour fleshing out the upper pockers and making zipper heads and tabs.

so hopefully a week fron now this will look like crap in comparison to the update.

I thought i was nearly done with this one 2 weeks ago. but Ive decided it was worth it to come back and add a bit more to it.

lots of things are being improved on or just changed completly

So far ive been messing around with the torso, arms, and hands a bit.
I also redid the upper pockets.
theirs a bit more too them now, you can barley see them. but theirs even zipper heads and tabs on them now.

next few things to do are going to be
- modding the hat with the hope of adding a decent pair of fore ears.
- adding more detaills to the shoes
- a Belt on the waist that the pockets connect to.
- redoing the straps for the overalls
- replacing the glove cuffs with a more interesting version
- replace the lower leg pockets with somthing that looks a lot better.

in the end I hope to use finished version of this as a normal map for the older versionl

I didnt even notice that.
I think that rather than going back and adding more polys im just gonna leave it up to the texture on the shirtless version.

good eye.
