New model (under 800 faces) + new texture (256 x 256px)

I was suggested to make a new topic (I was posting progress in that other GTA IV character -topic). Here is the third new texture. I am satisfied with the model, but I think that texture could be still better. To make things clear: This is my project, not anyone elses.

I want to thank fullmetal for posting good set of highres-images of Niko Bellic.

Download Niko Bellic BETA 01
Only includes one haircut (that default). You can see the head replacing default elvishair.dff and elvishair.txd with the ones in that archive (in models/player.img). Then get a haircut (Elvishair). I think you can also rename those files and replace some other files.

I also included one new clothes texture, field.txd. It has the right skin tone to suit Niko. You can get field jacket from binco.

Remember this is the first beta with few problems. Neck isn't attached to the head, I'm trying my best to make it work. There also might be some other minos mistakes, report me if you find one

Don't forget to backup your old elvishair.dff, elvishair.txd and field.txd!

Do not install if you don't like unfinished products!

Some minor texture adjustments (new ear etc.)
- fixed head shape
- better skintone for field.txd
- working neck (still a tiny difference between neck and head in some cases, should not be too bad)
- overall model tweaking in every possible way

I appreciate your comments so far. Thank you for all compliments.

Now this "default" hairmodel is becoming ready, so now I'm going to focus on other hairstyles and maybe clothes. Feel free to suggest me some hairstyles etc. to do

And thanks to the ones who scanned the magazine pages .
I like it too ... good job! (you made my day ^^).

Planning on doing the clothes too? Or just release the face model?

[Nebuk]

You think its better now?

Not sure about making custom clothes we have seen in GTA:IV so far, but I think I will make all GTA:SA clothes to suit my model (skin tone etc.). And yes, I'm planning to release it after few different haircuts.

[fullmetal]

Haha ok ... (and hey, I could still find some "inaccuracies" when I test it out ingame ;P).

And about the haircuts: Sounds interesting!

Soon. I will release first beta when I have done few extra things to it. I still have problems with the neck. Head isn't fully attached to neck.

[Claude GTA3]

can you just make the head a bit rounder

[lord fido]

Vinny, some guy's gonna rob you ur avatar... OH ITS TOO LATE!

Anyways, IT LOOKS F*CKING AWESOME!

[MasterK]

You are the best player modeler i've ever seen out the community. It's nearly the same seen in the trailer, i just want to suggest you to make his head shape a bit rounder, other than that, nice texture and modeling job.

[fullmetal]

Yeah, maybe the top of his head needs some rounding (his hair/top).

[Nebuk]

It's awesome that you like it

I will make little adjustments with the head ("rounder" head etc.). Beta will be here in few days. Feel free to say your opinions, I think those are very helpful.

[Stene]

Now we need someone to edit CJ's nigga sounds to east-european-ish.

this is good. although i do not like the fact you posted your progres in dead mans topic when he just died.

I don't know about that, but that proof (news article) was in my eyes just a bad photoshopping. If he really is dead (I have my doubts about it, I hope he is not dead) may he rest in peace, but don't mess him in that.

The reason I posted my progress in some others topic was the fact, that I wasn't sure if I ever release this model, so I thought it was the best option.

Let's now concentrate on topic, shall we?
