not bad,
But I think your arms are too long, it could be the perspective, but I doubt it.
shorten them up

It's the cuffs that make the arms seem too long. They are an independent shape, rather than part of the arm. They extend the arms by a good hand-length. Make the cuffs part of the arms rather than an extension by themselves.

this whole thing(besides the sword) is one polygon. I already rigged and weighted it and am animating so I can't really shorten the arms any more. But please keep suggesting revisions! They are very helpful.

I'm pretty sure that isn't possible, do you mean one mesh? What program did you use on it?

On another note. here is something I was goofing around with, check my profile for another view

nope. I did this in Maya. All the clothes are extruded from the body polygon(hair too). I did the head separately but then I manually attached it.

so it's a single mesh made from one polygon, gotcha.

and no offense, but
you should unbind the mesh from the bones and fix the mesh then rebind it. honestly it kind of hurts to see the skewed anatomy

looks like hes wearing a wooly jumper as his neck looks very hanging downy but every thing else is great keep it up im not saying its bad it could just use a ittle work thats all

thank you guys. I put a lot of work into it. I'd like to call it my sophomore effort on creating a full body model. And I'm taking a class so I really don't have the time(I already started animating). I have 2 hours per week day to work. The assignment is due on wednesday. I gotta make him throw an object and push something heavy. Any suggestions on how to work with my "skewed anatomy"?

I'm not saying it won't work. You can animate it just fine, it's just that that might haunt your subconscious a little.
Just animate it normally and it should be fine. but ig you get the chance later, give it a fix and repost it so we can see it. also don't forget to post your animation so we can watch it, I look forward to it.

Warp Speed

raveninskyprime, looks really good man good work. I've been workin on some game characters, this one for a particurlarly long time now, n he's supposed to be some type of colonial space marine.

Done in 3ds max 2009

i like the lighting on that robot, although it seems a little dark

I will put it up tomorrow. I left it to render over night(only cause it was the end of class). It is about 90 frames with him throwing his sword. I didn't have time to do the pushing animation. I missed a few days last week. I had the sicknees.

Looks rather similar to one of the robots I drew in my art topic on these boards.

but still... Very nice indeed.

thats an awsome arwing do you got any other views??

this is pretty primitive to the stuff you guys have been banging out, congrats on alot of you that have been posting for a while, you can see serious improvement.

Here's a render I did for the Tank I used in the Awards Video I did with Tom. Its isnt super detailed but for the amount of time it was on screen it's fine.

very nice on the airwing and the tank both, pretty sweet indeed

Hey peeps. Yeah I remember that 3D tank for the NG awards thingo - excellent job mate ;)

Anyhow, here's something I've been working on recently. There's still a fair bit of tweeking to do on her, but hopefully I'll have her finished and ready for animation in the coming weeks. She'll be part of my showreel that I've embarked on developing throughout this year. So i'll be busying myself with lots of 3D creations - well that's the goal anyway :)

very nice, that piece will be a really strong addition to your or anyone's portfolio. I would like to see it when you finish it.

Yes! here is another one,

here is a link to a 3 second animation i did with the model. please give me an abundance of advice!

I think some more hip and shoulder movement would sell it more. He looks like his pelvis is just gliding from point to point. All in the hips, all in the hips

Well for starters, longer. it makes it hard to analyze and scrub through with it being so short. second you should play with it more. when he passes the blade from hand to hand, I noticed it's, more or less,
tossed to the other hand. you should play with that, have it tossed in the air and spin. that would give it the bang it needs.
Also a little more movement in the animation would be nice. and then for some final touches. model your area out. not just basic shapes, but model some trees or post and some ground texture.

THIS is what you need

Here's Somethin, it's a character test (using facial morphs) for a portfolio I'm putting together- i've been messing around with a lot of rendering settings and I really like the look of this particular combination.

BTW i'm using 3ds Max
