GG Thank you, Awesome Character Models

Werent you the one bashing GG for rushing KZ3?

Hooray for normal maps!

No, really though, KZ3 does have some great character models. Not the best models in the industry... not even close, but still great.

You really shouldnt have brought Crysis into this. :(

Oh and you may enjoy this TC.

No prob. And if you are interested in 3d character art then Zbrush is a program you must learn, so you may find yourself on that site more than you'd like to be. :lol:

Yep they look great but MGS4 has the best character models imo, and soon to be The Last Guardian.

K3 is plain ugly..some of the worst character models this gen..besides the clothing quality. the faces/hair and just detail on them are YUCK! what happens when you remove blurr and decide to use that detail else where. K2 looks much better. soapandbubbles

You really have no idea what you're talking about regarding character models. Maybe you should check the link I posted for the tc as well.

From what i have seen they do look very nice good level of detail, decent mapping and a good use of baked occlusion. ferret-gamer

Just wondering do you work in 3d? I noticed you seem to know a few things.

And if so do you bake out AO maps as an overlay for your diffuse, or do you use cavity maps? I know they're both similar concepts, but I've been getting better results with cavity maps, yet I still see so many going with AO overlays.

Oh, cool. That's how most of us start out anyway. Just wait till your hobby takes over your life! :lol:

Blender is great though. Not my program of choice since I'm much faster in Max and Maya, but Blender is just as good as any of the big dogs if not better in some aspects. Definitely has better UV layout than the Autodesk twins. And sculptris is ****ing fantastic. Its as close to voxel sculpting as you will ever get with polys. Still though, if you ever dive into Zbrush you wont be looking back. I know its not free, but it never hurts to check out an evaluation copy. ;)

[QUOTE="ferret-gamer"] I am a hobbyist that works with the UDK, using basically all free software. i have been transitioning from XSI to blender recently and use sculptris for sculpting since i dislike blender's sculpting tools. I bake out my AO maps, never used cavity maps before.ferret-gamer

Yeah, Maya has always been known for its steep learning curve. Even Maya pros tend to screw up alot on their video tuts lol. Maya 2011 is much improved though. I'm mainly a Max guy myself, but its just because thats where I started into the world of 3d. Honestly though, the UI isnt too user friendly either, but you use anything enough and it eventually becomes second nature. I still haven't gotten into Softimage, but I've heard great things. Non-linear morph targets sounds like a god-send, but I'm not really much of an animator. Give me Max, Zbrush and Photoshop and I'm good to go! :P

I thought this was about Guilty Gear :(

A challenger approaches MFDOOM1983

The new Fight Night on the 360 looks ridiculously good looking. I've only played the demo, but damn, awesome character models.

Enslaved has awesome animation and character models :)

After those 6 months,Sev and Rico's haircuts just look ridiculous.

I like this thread :)

Yes, game is sweet and GG always had top animations to go along with models. killzowned24
