Zombie Wip

[BlackThief]

I'll post all my progress on the zombie-skin here:

 

completed the head:

 

 

or course I've to tweak extremly small details later - that's just the first rough version.

 

What do you think ? is it already scarier than the original ?

The head looks really good! Nice job!

[Springheel]

Looks DAMN good BT! I say it's definitely scarier than the original. Looks like it's been rotting in the ground for a long time.

 

Edit: BTW, is this a naked zombie? I don't remember any in the game, but he doesn't appear to have any clothes on...wait, is this the model for the children of hell? If so, good choice!

haven't seen this model ingame too - I found him in the editor. He's called zombie_boney or something like this.

 

What kind of body would you prefer ? More boney (so that you can see the white bones) or with rotten skin ? Maybe a open rib-cage ?

[Springheel]

Hmm, some bones showing through would be nice anywhere that the model is thin enough (like the chest, etc). I think he should have skin most places though, just very rotted. Almost mummy-like.

 

edit: when you get a chance, could you upload the head dds to the ftp site? I'd like to compare the before and after to see what you did.

All of them. Seriously. We will create a variety of them, don't we?

[BlackThief]

ok, here's what I've made today: torso and legs

 

 

I still have to overwork those parts though, cauze the skin doesn't tile properly....

 

same guy with walking animtaion

 

 

the zombie is inspired of the old thief 1 zombies

 

 

 

 

critism is always welcome

Hmm, that symmetry is really annoying. The head looks great from the side, but from the front the pattern on top reminds me of darth maul.

 

I think it's looking really good. I'm glad you are using the T1 zombies as a reference...are you going to be able to add just a hint of pale blue colour here and there?

 

We're going to have to get a nice little map going to show this guy off when he's done. Perhaps Ren's crypt.

LOL - but to be be honest I had the same thought. It looks really a bit like darth maul...maybe also because of the mouth (I'll try if I can change the mouth of the model a bit)

 

I hope the UV-maps of our models wont be so streched and NOT mirrored !!

 

Do you like the skin of the torso and the legs, or shall I change it ? It'd be great if Renz could send me his cryptmap, to test how it looks and feels ingame...

[god_is_my_goldfish]

I have an idea that would make the symmetry less problematic, have up and down strands of flesh on the skull.
