Hello. This thread will be a progress/critique thread for a character model for the Sauerbraten FPS game and game engine. His name is Sauerguy. Currently he consists of two object meshes, an upper and lower to be tagged together and linked within Sauerbraten to facilitate resolution depth for the uvmaps . Also weapon tags will be used if needed. Without much ado here is the current progress shots for your critiquing pleasure. Please ignore the vertex and edges that seem to lead off to nowhere. These are artifacts of the z offset and do not show up in the actual model.

As you can see extra edge loops were used to facilitate animation with proper deformation, specifically in all joints. I have not yet decided which animation rigging system I will use but it will probably be a combination of IK, painted vertex weights and script handlers for proper joint deformation. All that is on the drawing board, though, because first I would like your comments on how to improve the mesh before I even consider animation.

Here you can see the general coloring and some shadow placement.

Shadows are refined a bit more as far as placement...

I'm curious, are you skinning the sheen onto the black leather? Isn't that sort of thing the job of the spec maps? Or am I mistaken.

I am adding a bit of specularity on the texture. A spec map after that will pronounce it more.

Sauerguy is moving into a slightly different vein;

Ok, ok. The eyes stay. But this is another possibility;

The idea is to have random noses, duck, dog, etc, show up on different players.

I love Sauward the Duck.

A set of industrial/steampunk gritty furry models would be hilariously awesome.
