My latest star, Mister E!
 



this is my first attempt at making iclone clothing.

[tedathome]

Nice job and lighting. I like your backround too.[8D]

[ricky]

Thanks Ted, Coolclones has a pretty decent library of Iclone freebies, some prettyy good stuff too!  I think I got this background there

[markofkane]

I like that. Reminds me of Bruce Lee, one of my favorite stars.[]

[ricky]

hehe,  thanks Mark,  actually it IS a bruce lee model I made from a bruce lee headshot i found on the net.

I wonder if the wraps I make in iclone work in haptek ?

ricky,
Haptec is an adaptive prog from what I've seen, I don't see why not, get the template and cut it right, it is a simple wrap, just need to give it eyes, no worry about teeth and other things.  JMO.

Regards.

I just ran the template through people putty, tryed a simple resize first with poor results. Ran it through a second time as is. here are the results.


 I fliped the .jpg for the teeth to show. You can flip it again and only flip teeth and tounge to get a better representation or just flip the whole thing to see your image although it won't have teeth but you will see the results. I did no editing except to add hoods. It would easily work as an haptar or a head skin with a few fine tunes on eyes, nose, and mouth. As for making it look more like Bruce Lee, even with morph tools and proper resizing before putting it into people putty, I can't give you an answer without taking a lot of time with it. Understand this is just a preliminary skin and not a refined end product. Considering that it does indeed bear a resemblance to Bruce Lee, I think there is a fair chance of success.

This time difference is a bugger.
I come in second best.
Anyhow here is my 3o minute try.
As Ted said no real changes, only re-size & added hoods & hair.

[tedathome]

Bested by time only. Certainly not by quality. Your experience and superior artistry are showing through my friend.[8D]

Thanks Ted, But yours is as good.
Just got your skin pic & re-sized it to 1024x1024 then added teeth & eyes.
Ran it through putty & here is your result.

Teds Bruce Lee.

actually,  that one was not bruce lee,   the 2nd one I posted was this, I had to paint his hair on because none of the wigs matched.

[ricky]

here's the bruce lee diffuse, ( bald,  I use the wigs in Iclone )

[NIGE]

Ok !!!
I had to have another go.





I still don't think either look like that other guy

[ricky]

actually,  i can see how they are pretty close,  but haptek seems to use the same full cheekbone/ skeletal mesh for its characters cutting back on the nuances / details.  I can see bruce in your picture,  but i can also see how his cheeks and chin are now rounded and eyes are bigger.  What you did of crossgrading it was great,  but it seems that unless you make the pic in haptek,  the details are quantified to the haptek mesh.

[NIGE]

I know what you mean.
Unless you spend a few thousand & get the model maker from them we are stuck with what we got.
It's to be hoped that If or when Robert gets Ogre going we can have better models.
