Hellknight remake

by **MauveBib** » Fri Mar 27, 2009 3:08 am

Inspired by Electro's awesome player model, I'm having a go at a hi-res remake myself, specifically of the hellknight model.

Here's where I'm at so far, 3188 polys of an expected 5000-6000.

prolly better than i could do, but something about it seems weird.

The proportions are pretty off, I normally fix them once the whole thing's modelled.

Cool stuff man

You gonna dent his armor with zbrush/mudbox and stuff?

by **MauveBib** » Fri Mar 27, 2009 6:08 pm

Yeah, I'll do a high poly zbrush version for normal mapping once I've finished modelling and unwrapping.

Update: 5600 Tris.

The hands need a lot of work.

Yeah, there's going to be armour on the back of the hands

Basic modelling done, just some proportion work then it's on to the fun fun fun of unwrapping this beast.

Yeah, the shape of the torso is one of the big things left to change.

The model itself looks great, but I think you should try to make it look more menacing and evil. The face and hands are a bit too slim (yeah, I know you said it needs some work on proportions

). One character that comes to my mind when I think what a more detailed Hell Knight would look like is the final boss in Return To Castle Wolfenstein.

by **MauveBib** » Mon Mar 30, 2009 3:49 am

Yeah, the facial expression needs some more work too, it's a bit blank atm.

by **MauveBib** » Mon Mar 30, 2009 9:29 pm

Put some more work into the proportions and facial expression.

Anything noticably terrible?

The helmet design doesn't feel very good, looks like someone is pinching his nose with those eye-holes. The legs do a weird bend from below the waist, shouldn't they start higher up? Otherwise you've captured the feel quite well
