I've been working on this guy for about a week now, here's a screenshot of my most recent update. He's from the anime "Bleach".. =)

I think i'm basically done with the model itself now.. i need to do textures still, but i'll have to read up and possibly toy with it for a while cuz i've never done it, and I wanna get it right ^^

Later i'll make his Zanpakutou (sword) and clothing as well =)

Please let me know what you think, or if you see stuff clearly wrong with him...

Trying to keep him semi low poly count cause I do have intentions of animating him later =)

For previous and up to date screenshots etc of what i've done check here

After a bunch of touch ups, reworked the back & chest a bit as well as many other fixes here and there with the edges/vertices etc.

Here's a test render of renji 3 lights & w/out mapping/textures + a simple skin shader applied..

Gonna start work on mapping him w/tattoo's then i'll head on over to the clothing department I guess.. =P

After spending a good portion of the day learning about uv mapping etc and some more skin shader stuff I started to work some more =P

Did a bunch of tweaking to the body/head etc then started working on a tattoo for his forhead, came out pretty nice i think, even though i might have to remap it which is a pain right now, and i'm too tired to redo it right now =P tomorrow maybe.

After doing a bunch of research and quite a bit of time messing around trying to figure out how to duplicate the neck materials then invert the uvw map and THEN figure out how to get them to line up properly.. which i ended up splitting the neck into two sides right and left and using planar selection instead of cylindrical for the gizmo it finally came together =P The tattoo's are actually imbedded into the skin material itself, so it looks somewhat decent ^^

Anyway, here's a couple updated pics.. I still have alot of detailing to do to make him look more like Renji, and if you see things that simply look way off from the anime character himself let me know =)

Hopefully gonna finalize the model soon to something that i can say i'm satisfied with and then start w/the clothing.. Only had max for a little over a week now, so i generally spend alot of time researching rather than workin on the model =(
