Took me some precious time but I am finally at the point that I can say I am done with the character.
Rigging was a bit of a puzzle with all the lose object but I got to a point where in different poses everything moves pretty good. But I didn’t find the time yet to make an animation unfortunately.
Modeling and sculpting was done in Blender, texturing in Substance Painter and rendering in Blender. I did some post color adjustments in Photoshop for the renders.
Feedback is always welcome as I was planning to post it on my portfolio (if it’s worthy?).
I am glad you like it and I am thinking about how to make a portfolio post, but first need to finish atleast an animation.
The character is fully rigged, I think I missed that part about Mixamo. I’ll check it out after the turntable is done rendering, takes a bit more time than expected . But I am used to that now I guess!
I did the Orc course years ago.
When rigged, you could download an Mixamo animation and link it to the Orc.
But maybe I’m confused … maybe the character creator course …?
There was indeed a mixamo component to the old version of the course. But there are a lot of topics not in the one. I think the new version goes more into detail about high detail characters instead
I am not sure if I am going to add an animation to the turntable, would be cool but it’s gonna take me alot of time i’m afraid and I kinda want to finish this piece and continue to a new project
It is hard to bother with animation unless you have some huge whole story you want to do. Just dancing or slashing for the sake of it never seems to have any point to me, but we are all different!
He is an amazingly good creature that will make some great ‘painting’ image you can print or post and show off. Just need to work up an environment to put him in that is as impressive to suit his high standard!
No I think I agree with you, however at first glance I thought it would be cool to make a turntable with some kind of animated Idle stance. But animation in general is a whole different beast and to learn all that next to what I already had to learn feels kinda exhausting tbh.
I am content in finishing this with a pose and then working on something new and exciting.
This is a really high quality character asset, great work. Instead of taking time to further refine the rig or try to animate it, if you ever decide to sell or upload your models this would be a great one to offer so others can animate or do other things with it instead.
Thanks for sharing it here, seeing it gets me inspires to get into this course.
. But I am used to that now I guess!
