Did a block out of the player character, the acorn explorer. Super rough and low poly right now but got the main silhouette and major features to build off of. I still have to add hands and might adjust proportions a bit, then I’ll make it one main mesh and start adding subdivisions, body details, clothes, etc. Luckily facial features will be simple, probably just eyes – it’s an acorn, not a human after all! I also plan to model some mushroom folk npcs, but I’ll probably do them in Maya since they’re simpler and reuse some of the modular mushroom parts.
This is looking good. I would take a second look at the elbow and knee areas. They can be smushed into each other a bit more and adding a seperate piece for the knee cap can help get that shape flowing better.
Yeah, I’m not super happy with how the shapes blend together (or rather don’t) so that’ll probably be one of the next things I do
I love the concept for this character! You’ve totally nailed the acorn head aspect. Also I like the backpack, it definitely gives the explorer vibe. I’d reccomend pulling the heel back a bit/defining the calf more just so they have more balance.
Thanks! Yeah, the heels do look off now that you mention it, feet are the bane of my existence in modeling… I’ll try pulling them back a bit and changing the shape of the calf a bit
Love the silhouette you have going on :] You might want to check your proportions a little bit (for example, the arms might be a little too long once the hands are on there), but overall I’m liking where you’re going with this. Definitely very recognizable
I think you’re right about the arms being too long if you picture hands on them, I think I was doing the proportions without taking the extra hand length into account. I think I was also eyeballing some of it, so I’ll need to compare it to a reference more directly
I love the blockout so far, you can definitely tell what this character is supposed to be by just the silhouette!
Thanks! I’m glad that the acorn cap seems to read well, I was a bit worried people would mistake it for an ordinary beret
