...where is his wiener? He looks like he's been emasculated!

Post a close up of his profile, it didn't look right to me on the bigger picture...

[movento]

timothy2: you mean a side view ?
Ironside: I used another pattern for his jeans now.

Does anyone knows how the straps look on his back? I'm sort of stuck on the part.

[XTHX2]

Haha, he can now, kick some alien ass! He looks great.

[Jinroh]

Dang, he's looking really good.

I believe the 2 straps come together in a Y shape.

Yup, take a look at the DNF teaser, you seem him from behind there.

Yes Movento, a side view.

[Spiker]

If Duke saw it he would say: Damn, it looks better than me!

Skintones do not fade to black.

Well, skintones could fade to black under the right conditions. Though I'm not like Issac Newton the damn jerk who invented calculus!

not seeing it unless you mean that odd black outline around the whole model.

Why not go for the cell-shaded look?

There, we can use this in a Duke SideScroller with all the graphics being realistic/cell shaded like the new Persia game.

[Ironside]

The cigar is 100 points of kick ass.

Show us the new texture on the jeans


edit:

I think your Duke would benefit from a bigger chin. Duke should have a big ass chin.

[movento]

thanks for the crits and comments.
About the skintones,there is no black on my diffuse texture.
I think it's because of maya's way of showing normal mapped models.
Also,there isn't a black oultine,it looks that way cause i made the background darker in photoshop

There are still many things to do and fix on this model such as:
-make the hands look better and texture the logo on his gloves.
-add more details to his jeans like seams and pockets.
-make a high poly model for his straps and normal map it.
-work on the specular map.

[XTHX2]

Looks great. Can't wait it to be done.

[fast-1]

Do you use Gimp 2 movento. Photoshop how od you get the image to look like it's drawn do you use a digital camera then add the picture to the photoshop software ?

Really good model there looks great .

[leilei]

OMG LOOKS SUPER AWESno it dosen't your arms are too short and and your muscles are way off (especially the chest)
May I suggest practicing modeling just naked males from anatomy books before diving into The Duke? You can thank me later

[ShadowsWake]

I don't care what anyone else says, your Duke is looking GREAT!
And I really like how you modelled the muscles. Looks good in my opinion.

In the industry, we call it a polished piece of shit.

Not saying this model is horrible, Im just saying what Leilei said. If you dont get he basics down, don't continue the product in detail. Its like drawing something horrendous, and putting a lot of effort in the detail like shadowing, hair, etc. It doesn't make it good.

Learn the basics first.

EDIT: Honestly, I think the arms look correct. The palm should be the length down to the pelvis. If you use your mind and bend the arms, it looks correct. It might be an illusion because he has huge muscles, making it look stubby or short.

For me though, I don't likee the waste. It looks to straight.

Wrong. You're not even in the industry to begin with, but I know they wouldn't call it with that remark.

[Sang]

Nice model - But those.. I dunno what they are, those 2 lines on the torso look really weird.

I think it looks "kinda" good in front view but just horrendous from the side view. Sorry. Looks like some office geek.

[Spiker]

Hey, I've just started learning modeling. So far I've been learning for a few hours and this is what I've got. What do you think?

[XTHX2]

Pretty good for a few minutes of learning Keep it up.

Looks better than Wolfenstein 3D's models.



Spoiler:

show spoiler

Yes I know what you're thinking but that's the joke Spoiler:

show spoiler

now go away

[XTHX2]

Hmm you're right. I just noticed the casque at the model... looks pretty much like wolfenstein guards! ( Or a stick man who accidently passed into 3 Dimensional Plane)

[movento]

Woah,lot's of things going on i see.
I based the chest of this model on the porcelein statue.
I looked at some anatomy references and changed the chest in Mudbox ,i'm going to work more on the arms too.
timothy:do you mean he looks to fat?

Goes to show that you sir, know nothing.

I think working as QA at Blizzard classifies me as working in the industry and gives me the right to understand what people say.

So... being a game tester makes you 'in the industry'? if that were true, I'm in the industry too!

in all honesty, I wouldn't exactly say that you should be calling someone out, especially with such a rude attitude (besides, I think Leilei is a bit more qualified to say something about game art design for some rather obvious reasons.)

anyway, the model definitely looks better with that spruce up. I think the short arms deal was an issue of visual ****up and the glove texture being a tad too long. it's not as though the guy doesn't know what he's doing, I'd think, but more that he's been using so many references that it's gotten a little befuddled and hard to read the body structure in areas. I'd say it looked fine, but the change out he did actually looks better now, and far less bulkman mc largemuscles.

There is a difference between QA and Beta Testing. QA is an industry position.

Vigilant EC is also an accepted Video Game Company in the industry. So I wouldn't say I don't have a foot in the industry besides QA.

[Malgon]

Something about the way the arms line up with the body doesn't seem right. It's as if his shoulders are too low, which leaves him with practically no armpits. That's the only thing I could `pick' about it, otherwise it's going in the right direction.

[Ironside]

Doing a great job there mate.

His chin needs to be bigger and his jaw needs to be stronger.

[soulmate]

That's some impressive modelling ... how much time did you put into this in total?

[Legend Reaper]

dude can i ask whats this models for? is it for duke hrp? or are you makin it for fun

[XTHX2]

Well, it can be for fun, but I remember that this isn't for HRP... It's just too detailed to be in HRP, so it's either for fun or some UT serie.

It isn't for the HRP,but i'm getting it into Nexuiz. However,i'm terrible at rigging so ingame it deforms terrible.
Also, i haven't managed to get the textures working ingame
