I plan to finish this character, then go on to texture it, rig it, and animate :cool:
O yea! I almost forgot! What should I call him? He is suppose to be a puppet without strings of course, that always escaping tough situations. Almost like alladin. So what should he be called :eek: Thanks you all.


Cya's all layers.
Paul :rolleyes:

Well, I don't know. I think the detailing of the chest jars against the simplicity of the rest of the character. You are implying muscles but only in one place ( ever seen anyone with a well defined chest but spindly arms?). Just why does he have this sculptured chest?

First, they are not chest jars. That is his rib cage. Second, this is a cartoon character and its CG we can pretend on things. CG isn't "real" so thats why I can model him how I want him to look, and I did and am happy with how he does :rolleyes: .

Thanks you guys for all your comments and just for those who are curious I will simply call him............................................... ....................................Puppet :cool:

Ok, that's good. It was only an opinion. My use of the phrase ".. the chest jars against .." meant that the chest wasnt (IMHO) in keeping with the rest of the body. I wasn't refering specifically to a "chest jar" whatever that is.

I wrongly interpreted what you have explained is a ribcage as defined musculature. I wonder how many others will do the same.

Good luck with your project.

Ok guys, I just wanted to post my first animation with him. So here it is: www.paulmcgrade.com/demoshot1_06.mpg I plan on using this shot for my demo reel. Its definately not complete as you can see. But I was wondering what should I do to make it look more natural? :) Thanks guys....
