Keep in mind this is still heavily WIP. As all sneak peeks are. This is just to give you an idea of what is to come in the future.



Opinions are welcome.

One thing I would like to know, Helmet or none?

Also, please don't bug me about the hard lines where his pauldrons meet the arm, or the skirt meets chain mail. I cannot fix these issues without doing a complete re mapping and re skinning. Which I am NOT doing.

The skin is mostly Eldarions Gondor Soldier and of course Faramir. Heavily edited by me.

*note* the differing design of the chest armor. This armor may also be implemented in another unit of similar stature

Nice. Well mapped and detailed. Your sneak peeks (which is a RA copyright I'll have you know ) have been truly excellent recently.

Would like to see the neck darkened a bit and his chin/jaw lightened - doesn't blend together well atm, and I presume the skirt problem is the lack of shadow on the chain mail? I presume that you haven't gotten onto the sword yet.

Alright, I'll start calling them Teasers

Yeah, see the problem with the skirt chainmail is that using faramir's mapping, the skin is designed for a much shorter skirt thingy. So there is no room to put the chainmail portion on the skin itself adjacent to the rest of it. So, I had to detach the vertices and map it to a different section. Naturally, because of this I cannot make the transition between the two parts smooth because well, they don't line up. I suppose I should add more shadows to the arm mail in general (that's the area that the mapping is coming from) And if i do it right I should be able to mimick some shadows to set apart the layers. But the hard line will still be there.

It looks wonderful and for the helmet maybe try and put one that looks like the one in the movie.

[Kwen]

Well yeah, I would make it accurate. But I just don't know if I should add one or not.

[Spartan184]

Does he look good with one?

[Kwen]

I haven't modelled one yet. I'm at school, so I can't right now.

[Dragonforce]

Cool!

[drogoth232]

Pretty good. So Kwen ready to send the stuff?

[Kwen]

Send the stuff? I still haven't gotten the powers.
