Hammer tab (last one) (tools)
Press reset X Form or something like that, should fix it.

[Kwen]

Reset the Xform on the head object. Under Tools - Xform - reset Xform. (something like that..)

alright, and how do I rasterize the skin again... I use Gimp... so i have no idea where to find it.

[Ridder Geel]

I'm not sure what he means with rasterize, though if he means what rasterize is if you google "photoshop rasterize" you get results that have to do with layers... Not sure how that would help though

[modboy451]

oh and now the normals are flipped, can you remind me how to flip them again?

[Unknown]

When I said rasterize I meant wear it.
But after editing the Easterling today, I realised it was the sponge tool

[modboy451]

aaaaaaaaaaaah... ok I'll try that.

[modboy451]

I got the normals fixed, once i find a good way to post a video (I don't have a youtube, and can't make one atm) i will post him doing animations... He does Glorfindel's anims.

[Ridder Geel]

Just wondering, no offense intended, You do know you can edit your previous post, right?
Put it on ModDB? (Not sure if one with a profile can upload them on a profile there, but you can if you have your "mod" "hosted")

[modboy451]

Yes sorry xD

Well I don't have a moddb profile... And proolly can't, and I ain't doing mod at the moment. Maybe I'll turn this into a medieval revamp. *ponders*

[modboy451]

Finsihed him... i think...

Needs more detail.
Also you can screencap in w3d viewer by pressing the shortcut which should F7.

[Ridder Geel]

Looks good for your level of skill, but as rad said more detail would be the thing you would need to do next, right now it looks somewhat cartoony Still I like where you are going with this!

[modboy451]

Got any tips or pointers on where I could improve and how?

[Ridder Geel]

Shirt looks a bit too red in my opinion, and the helmet does not look like its made from metal, perhaps add a few scratches or something?

[Lauri]

The helmet and shield are is pure white. Metal isn't white, it's metallic... gray So that definitly needs to be fixed.
The cloth isn't "too red", it's just too bright. Try to desaturate it a bit to get a better looking colour. Also, it needs more shadows, as in cloth folds..

alright though... that was similar to the shade of red i WANTED... i guess it isn't the most realistic... I am basing the model on a character from my novel.. thta is close to what he looks like... including the shirt... and alright... I will try that thanks.

[Radspakr Wolfbane]

Also another thing is your "hand" is sticking out from the wrist.
I'm guessing you used Legolas' model with part of a CAH model for the hands.
Try combining them with the body/arms line it up and weld it in.

[modboy451]

haha no, it's all scratch modeled... though the head,helmet,body,legs,hands,sword,shield and the belt/strap are ALL seperate objects in the model... and it uses like 6 textures... so that is why the hands are sticking out like that...

[Nertea]

That's not really an excuse You should be able to link the vertices that are protruding the forearm and it'll be fine.
