Argyr (human-spider hybrid)

[Siml]

Hey guy,

my first post in this forum, yeah ;D

At the moment i´m working on an human-spider-hybrid for an game called "Myrdragor" (srry for this quick promotion )

Here are the very rough sketches :

And im not very bound to this design, that means, that i change many things on the fly

Here is what i got after 1 hour of sketching

It´s still very rough, but i want to make sure, that the form ist correct before i dive into the details

Please let me know what you like and what not (sure it´s still in it´s beginnings, but i will keep you up-to-date with it´s progress)

Srry for this double post, but i haven´t found an "edit"-button ?

Just wantet to show some new things

Many tweaks on the head

And completly reworked legs

And of course some smaller tweaks ;D

[Tony Nemo]

Arachnids have 8 legs but maybe the 'arms' could serve for the final two. Very creepy, especially the head! Will it be furry like a tarantula?

[Siml]

It´s supposed to be creepy

And yeah normal they have 8 legs, but in my opinion 6 legs look better in games than 8 ( and it´s also easier to animate )

And like you said; the arms could serve for the missing two xD

My wish is to make it furry like a tarantula, but i have only 4 gb of ram and my computer is starting to REALY slow down.

So i think it´s the best to retopo it and then paint a fur-normal-map on it. (and some additional alpha-mapped fur-planes)

[Siml]

Just a small change for today (was very busy )

I decided to replace the "arms" with normal ones

I´m also over creating spider-like looking hands. Maybe some creepy ones like the legs

And also a very small color test on the body ( was just a very quick and rough retopo, just to test some retop tools, because i´m actually an completly 3d-coat neewbie ;D )

Hopefully i have enough time tomorrow to bring some "awesomeness" into it

So stay tuned

Edit:

Srry for the double post again

But now i have found the "edit" button, so it won´t happen again

[Siml]

So i finally finished the retopo-mesh ;D *happy*

It was kind a hard work to get used to 3D-coats great retopo-tools (i was used to do this in blender )

And here it is

Now it goes to the painting part (which will be the funniest part i hope )

[Tony Nemo]

I'm surprised at the absence of a layer above layer 0. I don't think it advisable to paint on layer 0. The model looks great!

[Carlosan]

Displacement is exported using the difference of a vertex's position and its position on Layer 0.

Vertice positions will be taken from Layer 0. This is the preferred option for low-poly export.

Dont use it for paint, 3DC use it.

Will be better by default to make it locked, or name it Mesh layer...

let me make a feature request

[Tony Nemo]

So what about painting on layer 0?

[Siml]

Ahh good to know

The problem now is, that i can´t duplicate layer 0 (to create a copy of my color-layer and to clean layer 0 )

But I´m not in microvertex painting, so it doesn´t displace the vertices and therefore i could paint on layer 0 ?

I tried to export my diffuse and there was no problem, so it shouldn´t be that bad ;D
