[WIP] My furry comic character, Lila

<< < (6/8) > >>

Kain:
Thanks everyone, that was the problem, I tried to connect the meshes before joining them. I'll try to remember it.

I have almost finished modelling the head, and soon I'll post some new screenshots. Right now I only have to do some details, the nose, and put them all together. I already made the ear in a seperate file, and I think I'll make the nose the same way, since it's impossible for me to do it with extrusions.

The purpose of this post, though, is to ask some questions.

First of all, does anyone know where can I find hairgen.zip, a hair generator for Anim8or? The link I have does not work at all. Also, if I manage to find it, do you think it would be better to use this for Lila's hair, or should I use another method?

Secondly, as you can see at the sketch to the first post of the topic, Lila is wearing a Karate-gi and a sweater, both very loose, which means they'll have to wave when the character moves. Can Anim8or actually do that, or will I have to do it manually?

Thanks in advance.

you could use either morph targets or when building your figure make seperate bones branching off which connect to the waving parts. Nice work so far!

Janro:
Automated like cloth simulation: No, sadly.

Davidud already summarized your options so far when it comes to trying to fake the loose clothing. Will take some planning for both methods.

Kain:
I'm still at it, although I go really slowly. I finished the core head and the ear, now I just have to do the nose, hair and body. The nose has proven itself to be the most difficult thing in the history of ever, so it will take some time and a LOT of effort to be done.

I have not decided yet about the size and placement of the ear, since when I placed it according to the reference image the cat looked like a donkey. Also, it's really difficult to connect the ear to the head.

I still have not found the hairgen, and I don't know which would be the best way to make the hair and the cheek: With the grassgen, with the hairgen if I ever find it, or as carefully textured solid objects?

The side view is awkward. Maybe it needs a few minor corrections.
Bad quality screen capture, windows paint is broken, sorry. ^^'
The ear is modeled after a real cat's ear photo. It may be too realistic for my model, but I'm not sure if that's the problem with it... It just seems out of place, somehow.






I finally learned to draw sideviews of my characters, so the next one will have two reference images, and therefore be a lot easier.  ;D

Wow, I was hoping you'd finish that head one day! It looks great, really. :)
Be sure to post more when ya got more. :)
