WIP Game Character

[pistacja]

An early work-in-progress, low-med poly game character (rendered with a game engine):

[Manuel]

Very good.

This is as final as it gets (screens from a walk animation test):

Hello Pistacja....

I take it your character is rigged. Can you have do a Spanish-style kick-and-stab; that is, do a chest-high kick with her sword prepared to block a counter-attack?

It was a favorite move of the Conquistadors.

[pistacja]

It's rigged, but I'm not that good at animating it. I only have a basic walk cycle, idle animation (breath-in, breath-out) and a swing-a-sword-like-it-was-a-hammer attack

[brkurt]

I'm HandBraking '300' right now on my LInux box, and there is a scene at the Hot Gates where the Spartans use this technique.
It makes sense for a female character, because she is using her strongest muscles --the kick--behind her shield, and then striking downward
with her sword, for maximum effect.

I'll try to animate one for you over the coming weekend, with my Ellie model.

Here you go...I did this over my coffee break, that's why there's only the armature.

Something new from a different setting:

[Manuel]

Very good, compliments.
Probably the face textures can be improved (I still see the female hairs)

[pistacja]

The body texture is the one from HM, I've only added a normal map baked from the MH mesh +1x subdivision.

There's also a shirt, vest, hat and coat in the works (no texture) and a slim, fat and beefcake version.
