FunProjo: Renamon

Description

Since quite some time I wanted to get a bit of free time to do some fun-projos ( fun projects ) to relax a bit from the lot of work around me and somehow finally got to it. From all possible models I managed to find a full set of ref-images for this one so it got the first work spot. I tried out in this one a bit a different way of modeling, especially trying to model a bit "quick" so I won't get stuck on details. The hands still managed to give me some headaches though. I only know the few images I have so I don't know how accurate I stayed to the "original" ( or how accurate those images are ). So took me a couple of hours to get there.

The chest has this "fur" on it. Had no idea where to start but that's why you do such things to learn on the way. Done it only with sub-surf and no helper scripts. Some normal map should make it a bit better in the end I hope. That said this is the first time I ever worked with something having fur ( dragons don't have fur so you are safe from it ).

I have also fully rigged this one. I made a little test pose to see how things work. I won't go too much into detail with this one. The rig is a typical game rig and therefore geared for as less bones as possible.

Finally the texture made it's way on the model. Made diffuse and detail normal map. The fur somehow did not fully turn out like I wanted it to be but with a better trick this would work out. The eyes are a bit problematic as this character is drawn by nature and while drawing things you can do a couple of "hacks" which do not work that well in 3D.

So with all this done I'm calling this one off as finished expect maybe a bit of clean up once upon time. This one gave me some learning in modelling with a new technique I call "Cylinder Modelling" as well as working with fur without high polygon tricks ( hence no fibre or individual hair strains ). Finally some statistics for those interested.

Statistics:
Program used: Blender3D 2.43
Vertices: 3086
Faces: 3312
Sub-Surf Level: 2
Rig Bones: 58
Textures:
- Head diffuse( 512x512 ) normal( 512x512 )
- Body diffuse( 512x512 ) normal( 512x512 )
- Legs diffuse( 512x512 ) normal( 512x512 )
- Eyes diffuse( 128x128 )
Work time: in total a couple of days ( bit more than a week I suppose ).

Renamon belongs to the tv-show Digimon and is therefore (c) to whoever holds the IP ( there are two I think for different countries :confused: ). This is just a fun project for my own learning experience.
