Hi again,
I decided to remake my website with a new style also with the features of the flash player 10. In the old website, I used a low quality shot of myself using a poor chrome-key, but for the new website I decide to create myself in 3d so I have more freedom in animation avoid steps from one animation to another like in the old website.

Still working in progress but I'm posting some screenshots and one animation.
As usual, comments are welcome! :thumbsup:

great, great start imho !
the only problem I see is the UV maps are quite flat (its just one layer is my guess ?), but I know it's a work in progress so I can't really say much about that I guess :D
duelle stai facendo dei lavori uno piu' bello dell'altro, sei una vera ispirazione per i niubbi come me ! continua cosi' ;)

Well as I said it's just for my website. If you watched the short animation, that will be kinda the end result. The camera will never get closer so I don't need too much details. About the hairs, at the beginning I thought to do it with FiberFX, but looks quite good just aving a texture hair applied. If I'll see that looks crapy I'll make them with FFX.

Anyway thanks for your comment, sto realizzando altre animazioni che poi posterò.

Ciao - see ya.

Good job lining up the textures as for the hair it looks like it could be bulked up a little if its staying as polys particularly at the back towards the top.

yeah already did it, but u can see it a little in the animation. I put more particulars and modeled the hairs in zbrush, so just in a renderer pic you can see the applied displacement. These pics are just screenshots from modeler and they looks soo flat! ;) anyway I decided to draw anyway the hairs just to have base if I would want to put further, real modeled hairs or in FFX hairs.

Anyway still in progress, now I'm doing the animations when finish I'll step to the renderings settings ;)

thanks again for your comments.
