I'm making a logo animation for a company. Their logo includes a brain, so the animation is going to be centered around a brain mascot character. This is what I have so far.

Nice. If it's Think Geek, I'm going to kill you :p

Oh and, this model had you written all over it, even before I saw the name of the poster. :p

Did you ever finish those alien and battery things? Also, did you ever end up using that dragon model for anything?

No, kinda, and no. :(

The alien is still on the back burner, I'd really like to finish it someday. But this I'm actually getting paid for, so it has more priority.

The fingers need a lot of work, as they look autistic at the moment. The brain could use some texture mapping to get a good feel/texture for it. Heck, you should try out ZBrush. You can make some pretty realistic looking brains with that program.

I take another look and knee caps would be a good addition. Nothing fancy, but a bump for the knees would be comical.

I couldn't disagree more.

Although I think you should put the specular highlights back on the brain part.

Nice. I love the way the brain looks.

I think you should make the brain more pinkish in color.

Also ADD KNEECAPS. It would really look much better
2005-04-08, 7:22 PM #24
The color is fine, the hands and knees just need work.

Just one question, modeler to modeler, are each of those dots a vertex in a polygon with smoothing enacted, or are they each a point in a spline? Looks great otherwise but needs those highlights for the brain part I think. And this is a logo, its suppose to be somewhat comical I think.

They're all splines.

And the brain is only part of the logo. This guy will be in the logo animation.

Nice but change the font.
2005-04-10, 6:47 PM #31
...dont quote an image that's right above your post.

i like the font, though.
2005-04-10, 8:49 PM #32
I actually have to use that font. They sent me this image and I had to incorporate it directly. The end of the animation will be this logo:
