Suggest you make the barrel longer along the z-axis, or maybe make the barrel thinner along the y-axis.

Otherwise, quite a nice job :thumbs:

It looks about right to me. If you made the barrel any longer, it would only need to be by the slightest amount.

A little something I sculpted over the weekend. Im quite proud of it as its my first selfmade body and humanoid face, so I finally "achieved" this:

It took me about 8 hours I think and its at about 7 million polygons right now. The concept is by Emil Mujanovic(sp?).
And some more screens/video:

wow, looks awesome ANDE, are you going to try to get it converted to .msh so we can have it in bf2. Regardless you are going to want to convert quads to traingles, to prevent ploy loss.
Just amazing ANDE :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

I doubt it, BF2 never renders something that high poly.

Awesome work Ande, you're the best sculptor I've seen. :shock:

And youve seen like, 2? :P

Usually such highpoly models arent used in games directly. The usually workflow is to use very basic models to create a highpoly sculpt from it, then retopologize and finally bake normal/height/ambient occlusion maps from it. Another good reason for hipoly sculpts is that you can polypaint on the hipoly. This generally allows for a more creative and artistic workflow.

And no, this isnt directly copy&paste-ed from wikipedia. :)
THEWULFMAN wrote:...are you going to try to get it converted to .msh so we can have it in bf2.
You will most likely never see this model in SWBF(2), because(1) I would need a new basepose,(2) the engine is old and cant bring the same results as newer can,(3)the pipeline is(in comparison to UDK or Unity) horrible,(4) I dont want to install XSI 5.11,(5) theres not much which prevents this gnome from the greatly feared folder of unfinished projects if(when) I loose the inspiration...which sadly happens way too often. Lets see if I can finish the retopo phase this time...

Edit: Oh, yes, and thanks for the nice comments! :D

Did you just sculpt the body from a pre-existing template, or did you make the template yourself as well? Don't get me wrong - it's a great job on the sculpt, but I'd like to see a completely original humanoid model (not sculpt) - I know I'm interested in learning re: workflow.

Sculpts (in game dev) are usually used to bake down occlusion/normal maps on more basic models, but in this case, the sculpt stands alone.
