pikachu WIP

[xp1231]

Always wanted to create something like this in anim8or
Not quite complete yet, still need to do the tail, arms, feet and texturing

[CoriDavis]

Aww! it's cute already!

[davdud101]

Wow, xp1231, he's looking great already!!

[xp1231]

Thanks guys, spent a lot of time on it (11 hours +) trying to get it to look right. Took it into photoshop and did a quick paint job on it
Have it close to finished now, just need better UV mapping around the ears and on the tail and a texture on the eye:

[davdud101]

Oh, man! Even better!! Youare doing a mouth, too, right?

[xp1231]

Yep got the mouth cut in there too

[davdud101]

Ah, wow! Now he really looks authentic! Got any plans for him? Animation- or render-wise?

i created this in anim8or for a tech project actually, since I don't yet feel I can manipulate Maya well enough. Once we get onto the Maya module though, i'd like to rig Pikachu in that and animate it. I don't think I could rig this in anim8or well enough. I think modeling is WAY simpler in anim8or, but bigger programs will give me a more realistic animation once I figure out how they work.
