Col. Jack O'Neill
polycounter lvl 11
Hey guys,
I finally decided to open a thread for this dude
I realized that I didn't have any realistic military stuff in my portfolio so that was a good opportunity to do my favorite character of one of my favorite TV show.
If everything's going according to the plan, it should be rendered in CryEngine, and maybe even playable, thanks to the mixamo credits I earn with the last challenge, which gonna let me buy some mocap animations
I used Marvelous Designer for some of the clothes, and tweaked them inside ZBrush.

Subscribed... Hopefully I can learn from so of the sweet updates you'll soon be posting.
@paololazatin : My cloth patterns looks something like that :
*Edit* Also, was there any particular resources you referenced while making the cloth in MD ?
do you have reference blueprints or do you try and error?
A quick question, what is that cloth pattern maker thing?
@ILLMATICC : It's depending on wich part we are talking. The pants was pretty quick in zbrush. I just did a shell to have thickness, paint strips of stitches and seams, and add some little wrinkle to make it looks like less iron-flattened. For the webbing jacket I chose to do all the pockets in zbrush, because I wanted more control over their shape than I had in MD ( not too soft for exemple ).
@Spatz : Thanks a lot man ! There's a lot of really cool tutorial on the official website actually : http://www.marvelousdesigner.com/Marvelous/mvTutorial.aspx. Sometime you can even download blueprint and open them directly in MD. I started from that and tweaked it to have the shape I was looking for
@Plyomet : It's called Marvelous Designer and you got to try the trial ! I had the same feeling with this software than I had the first time I used Zbrush
@Uraani : thanks ! Now you mention it, it's true he don't have a lot of magazine pouch indeed
@coots7 : actually I simulated the cloth with Marvelous designer, and I chose to make him slightly bend its arms and legs to print the fold for a semi bend position. When I'll have to bake the normal map, I hope those kind of fold pattern will work better than those with a default pose.
Anyway, he will be back to the default pose after the bake
Sorry, rambling, awesome work.
@spire8989 : Hahaha ! I would love to do a stargate game, unfortunately I don't have the licence for it. So maybe I should make a PlanetDoor PD1 game, starring Roger Bean Ferguson
@Overlord : Yep you're right ! But I tried to fix that before giving him a cap. Do you still think he got a massive forehead on the shots with the cap ?
So here's what I got so far, textures and shaders are WIP. The model is around 25k triangles with gun but without hairs. Rendered in CryEngine :
3DSMax viewport, only normal :
I have a little critique. Sun visor is too lowres IMO. Cornered shape looks strange after last E3 and it will affect on baking normals.
And I have a question about mesh of the eyes and shader setup. Will you do it like in crydev documentations http://freesdk.crydev.net/display/SDKDOC2/Eye+Shader#EyeShader-TheEyeShader
@leleuxart : Perhaps it was a temporary down of the host. But it seems to work again. Thanks for the heads up
@Seth : I know what you mean, I'll try to pay more attention to that for my next project. Thanks
@Chepatak : Yeah the sun visor definitely to be little more works
I'll try to post the pictures later :

Haha great job man, I was hoping you would desaturate him a bit, looks much better and I think you got the likeness, maybe head shape is off slightly, some nice close up shots may help.
Still not convinced by marvellous designer though, yours is probably one of the best I've seen but they suck at butts and crotches haha. I think its because you need pants underneath to guide the simulation, but even then you get those small pinching folds which means the cloths not tailored perfectly yet. I see cloth as such a big part of the character that I'm not willing to give up that artistic control yet haha.
Great model though dude
I realized I post the video a little bit too quick, it may need to be redone, with more time around the head for exemple.
I just moved and got no internet for a couple of days, and since you have to be logged to work with cryengine (:poly127::poly127::poly127:) ...
@e-freak : Thanks again man !
@Almighty_gir : Thanks for the input. The likeness is not perfect indeed, I need more training.
@Demoproud : Glad you like it, thanks a lot
@crazyfool : Yep, I know what you mean about crotches
@Fomori : Thanks ! I'm glad you enjoyed the extra work
But I do agree with crazyfool. It's the best 3D adaption of Jack O'Neill. Congrats.
I hope you'll like it :

One crit i would say though is that his green clothing could do with some elements to break it up, dust/ fire dmg/ little splash of mud etc (entirely depending on what look your going for though). If you squint your eyes its all a flat shade (apart from the shadows from the folds). The close up screen shot of the bottom of his legs and boots looks great however further away this detail is severely lost.
If you could be bothered a weather damaged Jack could be fun to tweak out!
