Noble & Table

[oDDity]

This is about 1800-ish costume. I'll be doing others ranging from medieval to victorian. We don't want to tie ourselves to one period with either architecture, decor or costumes,

Thief 2 ranged form medieval to early 20th century.

Love the attention to detail oDDity. From the characters posture to her snooty expression. LOVE IT!!

[Springheel]

Very, very nice. Something about her makes me think of a woman of a lesser house, desperately trying to look as wealthy as the other noble families.

[oDDity]

Yes, I suppose there is something of the Jane Eyre about it.

The face just has that look to it that you would see in old photographs or paintings. Very cool.

[god_is_my_goldfish]

Amazing, absolutely amazing once again.

[BlackThief]

yeah looks pretty cool - however I'm not sure about this hat. IMHO it gives the touch of being from a lesser house.

[Domarius]

Is that 1800's from America or England? (Excuse any blantant lack of historical knowlege I just displayed there...) I always preffer medieval fantasy to derive from English stuff.

 

As GIMG said on IRC, "is there anything oDDIty do that DOESN'T rock?"

I said "I doubt it."

[sparhawk]

Looks very cool. But IMO it looks more like an upper class servant. May be wrong on that, though. The clothing looks to me like that.

[pakmannen]

Looks like a noble to me. It will be interesting to blackjack someone with a hat like that!

 

Btw, what happened to the houseguard? I was looking forward to more of those video tutorials.

Noble woman

 

Upper class woman (very small)

 

Victorian domestic servant

 

Maid

 

I still think that the image looks more like an noble womans servant than a noble woman. I mean somebody very close to the actual nobillity. The persons entertaining the nobles. Don't know how to phrase that properly.

[oDDity]

THe hat and dress are not from the same era. THe dress is circa 1790 the hat is French Elizabethian.

She can be a middle class noble or the sevant to a top noble, it doesn't matter.

[oDDity]

Thanks for the postage stamps Spar, but I already have 100 or so costume references of various historical periods. I picked that first becasue I wanted the texturing challenge.

TYROT, you can't really see much from a wire so I upload the lwo to the FTP (models/charcater templates) I didn't upload all the associated images - there's about 20mb of textures.

[sparhawk]

She can be a middle class noble or the sevant to a top noble, it doesn't matter.

Yeah. Middle class noble could also work. I think the servants costumes from the upper nobillity were pretty rich, so they could easily pass of as nobillity themself.

*applause*

fantastic work..again:D

In other words, damn!

[Fingernail]

check out the frumpishness on that...mmmm!!!

[alan9000]

Lovely work once again oddity . Really nice attention to detail ..the textures are great. How long did it take you to do this model and texture her?

I am back working on the noble man at the moment ..I have the low poly model just about finished and will start detailing it in zbrush. I have done some tests and it seems to be working fine ..only thing is I could really do with a faster machine to run zbrush at the resolution I want to work at.

 

Have you done any of the low poly versions yet ?

[oDDity]

I think it's best to work from high to low, than vice versa.

I've done the Builder guard low poly version (3.9k) - I have him in-game with animations, after spending a week working out how to do it:/

Scoobs (our new animator) is doing some more animatons for him as we speak, he should be finished soon.

This model took about 10 hours to model and 12 hours to texture. It's really a waste of time texturing these high res models, since a lot of the quality will be lost in the game version, but the texturing challenge was what made me want to model this in the first place.

[TYROT]

dear oDDity

 

I downloaded the model ...GUYS it s flawless...Of course i wanted to see more beatiful woman but it s Your decision..

 

But what i wanna ask is WHAT is the ANIMATION flow...I mean..Are you exporting FBX to MotionBUilder than MAYA or MAX?

 

And if it s the case ...you are using DAVE3d 's skeleton model for animation upload to Motion Builder???? questions questions..

 

And what i offer you is to make LIGHTWAVE SPECIAL THREAD for this knowledges and everything..

 

BEST

[oDDity]

If you had a peek under her skirts you'll see she has no body, just a face and a pair of hands)

I export the low res version to Maya, build a skeleton, weight it and then export it to Motionbuilder.

[TYROT]

dear oDDity

 

Of course she is not gonna make strip for Garrett so you dont need to model it..

OH thanks for reply about to flow...

 

And one great thing about the model is beatiful tiles...I really like it so much...

 

BEST!

[sparhawk]

If you had a peek under her skirts

 

When will we get that?

[oDDity]

Started her now. No rest for the wicked.

Obviously the texturing on the high res is near photorealistic, and I won't be able to get it quite that good for the game, but the combination of normal, spec and hightmaps is quite powerful.

It's only 3000 polys as well.
