Duke Nukem 3d model

[movento]

Here's my Duke Nukem model i've been working on for some time. 2 days ago i started texturing his head. I still have alot of work to do on it.Here's the texture so far.

And here's the body


Crits and comments are welcome

thats pretty sick dude!

is that blender i see?

[Western Shinobi]

Looks pretty rad! Makes me wish eDuke had real time lighting and normal mapping. That that'd be pretty stupid to wish for.

Looks great nonetheless. Can' wait to see the whole thing textured!

How many polys does it have? Remember, if you want it to be in the HRP it can't have that many polys.

Did you use 3dstudios for this, or I guess it's called viz now, but is that what you used?

[motionblur]

Seems like Blender to me.

3ds Max is still called 3ds max, btw - viz is the architectural version of max.
But that's not used for game content creation.

[Cowboy Duke]

very nice!

[Aust]

Ahhhh I see, I was in an architecture class when I used it. I guess thats why I thought it was viz :P

[Tea Monster]

Looking very cool. Did you make the body or are you building off a Make Human or Poser model?

Don't forget his belt buckle.

Are you making him for a game or are you making him for display?

[movento]

Thanks for the comments everyone.

I used Blender to make this model,as some of you mentioned.It's about 12000 tri's atm,which is alot,i know .I never really thought of putting him in a game.Maybe i should lower the polycount and get him into UT2k3/2k4.I once made a Rock Lee(from the anime Naruto) and got that into Ut2k3.I used maya to do that,but since a while there's something wrong with my maya's rigging system when i try to export it.

Tea Monster: I made the body myself,never tried Poser or Makehuman

Here's a small update.

Youngsters today forever.

fast-1 : what do you mean ? i can't really understand.

Here's an update,i added more contrast to the texture.

[Maruno]

You, um, might want to leave the glasses on.

haha, but I think it looks weird because he left the shadow from the glasses on.

Eyes are too far apart and not big enough. then again maybe it's simply the size of the eyes being too small making them look like they're too far apart. otherwise it seems fine.

Eyes are perfectly alright. If it was to get bigger, it'd become anime. I do agree about the position for the eyes though. They do seem a little far apart.

[motionblur]

They are too far apart.
Rule of thumb - one eye space between the eyes. Then adjust as desired.

Duke has lil' eyes haha

I meant he looks old but it is an early picture your working on right it is just a joke, maybe the skin tone needs more colour and he needs to be more detailed.

Brilliant model though I could never do that.

[movento]

Thanks for the comments everyone.
I made the eyes close to eachother,and redid the hair and eyebrow texture. I also tried to get rid of the smile expression.I'm calling the head done unless anyone has some more crits.

[gt1750]

I think he looks pretty good now. Good job

[madhatter man]

Looks better with the glasses on, when you have a character with hidden facial feature you make them stay hidden. It keeps the character mysterous and fresh, and people like them better that way.

[gungriffon geona]

to be honest I'm amazed you got him to look good without the glasses. that's something that usually doesn't go over very well for obvious reasons.

[oak man]

for the one with out sun glasses, it's way too dark under the eyes. But it looks good over all though!

You do realize thats the shadow from the glasses right?

[Nukkus]

on the topic of duke without shades, i am going to have nightmares now. duke was not meant to be a raccoon.

great art there movento.

[Dopefish7590]

getting better

[movento]

Thanks for the comments.It's been a while since i updated this thread,i made some changes to the body,uvmapped it and started texturing.It could be the back of his strap is wrong,i couldn't see perfectly how it is in the DNF teaser.

[oak man]

Wow, looks awesome! what will you use this model for? Just makin' it for fun?

[Dopefish7590]

Tis what i do but my models suck

[movento]

This model is just for practice i think.
update.

[glennman94]

Pretty sick dude !!! can you make lowang to ?
you could port them to the source engine and have fun in Gmod

[Maruno]

The next time I hear someone describe something as "sick", I swear...

Just the one random vein on the bicep, then? And a prominent one at that.

[Rider]

Whoa, what'd you do to the face in that last render? Looks a little fooked up IMO...

[movento]

@Rider: i didn't change the face,maybe it was because the alpha map wasnt active.

Update time ^_^. The jeans are being worked on.

[SilverSoldier]

Looking great man

[Western Shinobi]

Must play duke in UT3!!!!!!!

[Tea Monster]

The skin looks good, but it needs some more contrast to make it pop out correctly. Good work though. If you want to get it into a game engine, you are looking at getting the poly count down under 5K.

If its just for fun that whatever you are comfortable with.

The model is looking good. I wouldn't worry about the eyes as they are never seen.

[Dopefish7590]

yea, its a good model... maybe ill give a shot at modeling duke
