Cranked this out in a couple days. It still needs some minor optimization. 3125 polys right now. Hopefully I can make a shader so the hair glows

Nice. Although the nose is hella pointy, and the bottom lip is to small. Still very very nice.

The face isn't right, and he could do with a diet.

And, although it's hair, it's not too true to the sereise. Perhaps less definition in smaller strands and just the point-sonic look will do better. Oh, and the polygon spending is superb. Would have spent me at least 4000, maybe 5.

Er, how is he fat?

The hair is sticking out at all angles, which isn't right. Why exactly does he have 3 fingers? The face is just wrong. It's supposed to be a bit wider. A cromagnon look. And of course more like Goku. The hips are just weird, as are the arms actually, looking at that front shot.

He DID model basicly every one of the DBZ characters in the DBZ:TDiR mod for JK, So i think he knows how to model a DBZ character, Just working from low poly to more polies things can get outta proportion.

Nice start, but yeah, it does need some work on the face.

------------------
Inter arma silent leges

This is my reference. The model is pretty spot on, because I used both images as a cross section in the viewports. I know, I was surprised at the whole down syndrom chin thing too, but it's there. (Probably why all my old attempts looked very monkeyish)

Fat? well, he's wearing a loose gi...

Ahh, the hair. My first attemt was very accurate to the reference, but it looked like crap in 3d. As you can see here the hair isnt drawn any specific way, sometimes its a ton of tiny spikes, sometimes its several large ones.

He has 3 fingers to save polies. Theres no point in modelling them when his hand is in a fist 90% of the time. (plus with that hair, ! have to save polies somewhere )

I agree about the arms. I have to get rid of some edge loops. I'll do that now

Whats wrong with the hips exactly?

Save polies by having three fingers? Er, you'd save like 20.

I hope that was sarcasm. A box has 12 polys. I saved at least 240 polys, and thats assuming I wanted boxy fingers with only 2 edge rows for joints.

I'd say make it more like one wide finger thing then, all four as a single piece, and then the thumb. As for the hips, in that shot from the front, I don't know, it looks like they're sticking out further than the rest of him. Reminds me of SpaceBalls, oddly enough, haha. Like his *** is on the front. (Beam me up, Snotty!) As for the face, I guess what's missing most is the prefrontal brow ridge. And monkeyish? Well, he's supposed to look a bit monkeyish. Part of SS3 is he looks a little more primitive. More apelike. Look at that angle shot in the background. There's a heavy ridge coming over his eyes, then his forehead slopes back, then the hair comes up out of it with a noticeable edge. Your's goes from the eyes straight up and smoothly into the hair. As for the hair, I think in the actual episodes, SS3 tends to be large spikes. But they should flow back and down. A sorta smoothness.

that looks unreal, get it! Unreal as in Unreal Tourny! HAHAHA lol yea i know my jokes are pathetic but alwell just saying that looks awsome but i must say that uv gota do one for Goku SS4 if uv got the time, maybe do one for JO or JA cuz SS4 looks so much cooler then SS3 (sorry to all those ss3 fans)

I'm not much of an Anime fan, but it looks pretty good. Since you do player models......... mabey you could help me with something.

Gah, I dislike DBZ so much nowadays.

But your model is damn cool. Keep on going.

There are so much better anime series out there to make models out of XD.

But you made a good model none the less.

He doesnt actually have three fingers, all five will be textured on. Ala the mitt method, but with slightly more mobility. (for..taunts I guess)

I see what you mean about the hips. I fixed it up

I was saying my old models looked too monkeyish. Without the overbite, that is.

Arkon11: What do you need help with?



If nothing else, DBZ looks cool. I'd rather not do say.. kagome, aka sailor venus, aka every anime schoolgirl in existance.

What's wrong with schoolgirls?

But seriously, there are a lot of better animes that could be skinned. Trigun, Battle Angel, Angel Sanctuary, Rurouni Kenshin, Hellsing, Vampire Hunter D, FLCL, Record of Lodoss War, Gundam, Naruto. Really just trying to mention ones with really unique looking characters.

Fanbois begone! It's a great model! Quit nitpicking and saying "Oh, you should model character X from this show" . . .

Have a good one,

240 still is nothing. What you have now is good enough to run in JO or JA, and you're making a model for UT2K4. The engine and the audiences' computers can handle it.

*Updated pics in first post*

He's optimized. I looked at the hand setup in a vanilla utsk4 model. They only use one edge per joint! I guess its too small to notice in game. But anyway, hes got all fingers now, changed the brow, etc..

Kinda cool, but I dont often get into anime becoming 3d... even tho DBZ isnt the best anime, nor did the series end well..

Ah, that's much better. See, it's not that having three fingers is really BAD, but having all of them is such a nice touch. I always love how JO and JA have fully animated fingers, newer games still lack that.

Darker hair, and it'll be el-perfecto. Even the fanboy sites list how the hair has much darker highlights when in SS3. Honestly, I should be shot for knowing anything about DBZ.

The line between the chest and his shirt could be quite a bit smoother.

The eyes look a bit off. In your sample, they are more angular, not rounded, a bit shorter, and bit taller. Hmm, there's some else off with the face, though I'm not sure what... just something that makes him not look like Goku, even SS3 Goku. Something else had come to mind, but I've forgotten it. Looks pretty good though.

Ah, remembered the other thing I'd noticed. It's something rather small though, actually. The eye color for the SS forms is a bluish turquoise; not green.

I Cleaned up the texture a lot, and darkened it so it works in game better. Ive still got a couple of the hair spikes textured backwards (curs'ed hair!) I'll see about changing the eye color.

Really, the lips could be thinner. Not up and down, but from corner to corner. I think that's what your problem is. Goku's SS3 form is usually with a very small look of scorn on his lips, not ashley-olsen lips.

I noticed the lips too, but didn't think them as very important. It's not so much a look of scorn, as it is a smirk.

Hah, yeah right, they're going to start another TC for UT2k4 for 4 years and call it DBZ2k4:TDIR


Don't take my word on that, I'm just making up random crap because I haven't been to Massassi and ages and just noticed this.
