picked up a character I made a low poly for ages and ages ago.. pretty much completely restarting it. Here's what I got of the high Poly so far (usin the low poly bits for a bit of scale for now)

nice-hockey!
the protection elements for the legs looks awesome!
the butt area looks like it needs some more work,
but overall great stuff!

Thanks deja.

got a little bit more done today

Dude awesome work! triple a stuff i used to play goalie when i was younger i love how this turned out no crits yet!

Sup jeff! This is lookin great man, It kills your old one. I would say watch some of the lumpyness on the pants and make sure it stays consistent looking with the quality of the pads.

Nice job man, keep us posted.

Dave

thanks dave. The pants were actually just a quick proxy i did in zbrush to get a feel for what i wanted to do [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]


small update, poly modeled the pants, and got the glove just about done.

bit more.. fixed up the netting on the glove, and got a bit of a start on the jersey.

Awesome work man, great attention to detail.

thanks jaco [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]


Helmet!!

nice work, how did you get the holes in the helmet? boolean?

I really like the amount of time and quality you spent on the leg pads.
You may want to fix the proportions on the hockey stick.
Take a look at some of these large images for reference:

Great work so far though, keep at it!

thanks jzak, I actually haven't even gotten to the stick yet.. but i will definitely make sure it has the proper proportions.

I'm going off of my own equipment for everything.. any time i buy a new stick I like it to (when standing, with the tip of the blade on the ground) for the end of the handle to reach right up to my chin, just where it's comfortable. Gives enough room for poke checkin and whatnot. from what i've seen that's usually the average proportion that most goalies go for [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Great idea cgjeff...I got full ice hockey goalie equipment as well, If you really needed some good reference I would've been willing to take some digital pictures for you. You're right about measuring the length to right under the chin.
I'm looking at the butt-end of the stick and the blade. The butt-end looks way too big and cylinder shaped.
The stick blade, I feel is too long and wide. But, you said you haven't even gotten to it yet so I wasn't sure if you were calling that completed.
I'll wait until you work on it.
Anyway, here is basically what I used when I modeled out my stick http://www.midwestskate.com/Hockey/i...alie_Stick.jpg

Cheers

I'm sure the big cylinder at the end of the stick is just a loose block-in of the end of a tape job. Nothing at all wrong with a nice large tape-stopper at the end of a goalie stick.

The model is looking quite impressive so far, very crisp and clean detailing. Keep up the good work.

Good model so far. Heads a little big (sans helmet) legs are a little short.


I think my favorite part of this however is you've got two upper NE american fellows discussing hockey. Brings a tear of joy to my eye.

been a while since I got the chance to work on this. Did some quick normal map test projections.. They turned out pretty good. but I'm not really pleased with the pixel distribution in some areas. so I'll probably play around with the uvs a bit, and see if i can get them lookin better

can i see a side view, doesnt look like he has back, looks to flat in the back. I could be wrong.
