cute astronaut

[sailor]

Hi there,

just a quick model that im gonna use just for my reel cover....
feel free to give me some feedback

cheers

I love it. The clasps at his wrists could stand a few more polygons for smoothing - but it's not that noticable.

Nice job.

[starbase1]

Thats very good - a lot of the small details are surprisingly realistic for such a stylised figure!

The only bit I am not altogether sure about is the helmet glass - it looks like it does not quite fit the main helmet properly. The texture is a bit off too - have you considered something with a mirror finish, maybe with a gradient to make reflection stronger at shallow angles?

Hello,

thanks for the comments...yes starbase that helmet problem will be solved....:) its a a very quick and dirty poly selection just to make a render (impatient) tehre is no texture work at all and the modeling isnt finished yet either

cheers :)

[starbase1]

Well the choice of colour is already great!

[T-Light]

Wayhey :thumbsup:

Cute as a button, love it :D

[miso popovic]

yea, great stuff!

[sailor]

a quick update thanks for the comments :)

[starbase1]

It looks a little crumpled polygon wise, at the lowest part of the arm sleeve, before the red cuff. Maybe a little relentlessly beige?

I still love the look overall though!

Hi guys thanks for your comments...the poly probs is because no subpatch there thass all...ill put everything for the final render

here a quick concept of the dog...it will ahve obvisouly more detail on the body

cheers

[starbase1]

Excellent! What are you going to do with them when they are finished?

(And did you know that the russian cosmonaut dog's name 'Laika' is a diminutive feminine for mof the verb 'to bark'. In other words, her name was"woofer!")

As long as you pose it so that one can't see through the arm at the red clasp, this is very cute piece.
Balance-wise, were I the woofer in that pic, I think the tank would be better straddled across the back or at the scruff of the neck. On the moon, or in a zero-g environment, I imagine that the nose piece would get quite a workout scraping the ground. ;)

I like this guy, nice modeling, the dog looks good so far too.

[Weetos]

Proton? is that you? lol

Great model ! I love this cute design :thumbsup:

[Xtrax]

WOW!...I love it :D

[sammael]

The dog suit looks great, will the visors be transparent at all? One suggestion, the visors could look pretty cool with the BRDF shader applied.

I love this style, but make sure you don't send your reel to ilion studios.....

The one we're looking at on this thread IS WAY more cute! The one you're showing is boarderline cool IMHO. This is kind of orgional...that one looks kind of like a tooned out NASA suite.

I really like these...but use a different reflection map! Maybe of a martian surface or something...because that city center scene is the only thing distracting me! You can use just a gradient, view of mars from a rover image, or get tricky with texture world, gradients, and procedurals...

[WilliamVaughan]

Killer Design and Model...:thumbsup:

[peteb]

These are great. Would make fantastic toys or TV series...or both.
Someone mentioned if the visors would be slightly transparent, what ever you do don't do that leave them solid. Agree about the reflection needing to be better, it's too low and dirty, needs to be really bright and contrasty with an obviouls reflection of space and maybe a planet.

Great work want to see more.

Hi guys,

Thank you so much for your kind commnets...i finally found time to adjust a couple of things in the model and here is the final version....hope you like it

i also came with teh idea of a name...what about 'nasa" i thought it could be cute

thanks

[starbase1]

Great!

Incidentally the first russian dog in space was Laika, a feminine diminutive form of the verb 'to bark'. In other words, her name was 'woofer'.

The Americans called her Muttnik...

Later came two Belka And Strelka (Squirrel and Little Arrow).

Brilliant - I'd love to see your wee dog character go into orbit in an animation :D
