69_black_69 You are the best modder i have seen so far..

[badboy_zay]

awesome! you skill is better each day
Claude's face look too angry though. and I think you should make his 5 o clock beard more visible, it would be bad ass

[yurban]

Very good job, Claude looks really like 30+ year man, not so young as original. I hope we will can use it in IIIrage.

[LT_vVheris]

i would suggest just to remodel the "crowded" places. it would look pretty much same, but would be waaaay more efficient, i beleive, you can reduce the polycount by 50-60%.
Also, would be fun if you could release atleast a little more yellow skin as a seperate download, would apreciate that

[69_black_69]

Thank you for your suggestion vvheris.
I have tried to reduce polys on his ears before, looks way too f*cked up . But i'll give it a try again. Practices makes perfect. Reason why i'm not adding another hair planes because i think the characteristic of Claude's hair is only on his front hair.
But yeah, if i'm after realistic looking of him, i'll add more of that.

@Hustla_XV:
oh, thanks.

@badboy:
I'm always practicing new stuff, that's why i get better, i think.

@yurban
We'll see about that.

well, the hair planes could make it look a little more like hair, less like a plastic or i dont even know what , you dont actually need them to stand out as much as the front hair also, you could render ambient occlusion of detailed mesh parts such as ears and take it to lower polygon mesh texture, should look pretty much same

@vvheris:
Need a bump maps too to make it look exactly same, and about his hair, agreed, i'll make that.

Update:
Well because i got a problem on making Tommy's head, and only triple penetration that suggested what protagonist should be made then

Early head model of Mike (GTA Advance)

That what i think how he looks in real life. Added beard to increased his coolness. I want a beard myself

[LT_vVheris]

You would not believe what ambient occlusion can do, you can render details to low poly mesh, and it will look pseudo 3d even without bump/normal maps. Ofcourse effect is not the same, but it would do the job...
Also, nice Mike model

Yep, i know it. Already using it on my Ramona Flowers model (the one i posted on Character PPC).
And thanks. Created based on Michael Fassbender, tweaked it to look like in GTA Advance Artwork.

[TigerTanker]

Dude, you're making a good job. I've never seen anybody making so awesome models in such a short time.

I'm also in love with CJ's chucks lol.

Keep up the good work and good luck!

[oksa8]

I think Mike needs little darker skin, he looks really pale. Otherwise, looks really great!

For what game are these made, each one for their own game or you render all of them to all games or all to one game?

[69_black_69]

@Tiger:
Thanks. Still need to tweak some of his textures, to make him looks better.

@oksa:
If possible, all of my model to all of games, including IV version. Need to create them all first before start to rigging it.
I'll take your suggestion on Mike.

[solom]

Mike model looks nice. But better to clean his beard.

[Zom-B]

You know, the more I look at the Claude model the more I see a young Clint Eastwood.

[69_black_69]

@solom :
i don't want it to be exactly look like him in the artwork. Just doing it in my style.

@Zom:
Once i tried to model Clint Eastwood as blondie in The good, bad and ugly, but turn out bad.

Update :

Mike's Head


Mike's Body (Still working on it)

[zmudziak32]

Claude looks like Tanner from Driver San Francisco. Excelent work. CJ and Mike are cool, but not like Claude.

[Yellow.Jacket]

That Mike guy is one of my favourite characters, I'm glad the one you made looks so good I pictured him more like with wider jaw and more prominent chin though, but still I love it.
Claude looks awesome, you can totally tell it's him

[AlfredNTheFettuc]

Wow, thought I'd never see Mike in 3D form!
But what's with the facial hair?

[Yellow.Jacket]

He was so p­issed off at the death (?) of his best friend that he just forgot to shave. Besides, I guess chicks in Liberty City aren't that hard to impress.

[69_black_69]

@zmudziak:
Thanks. The problem is that i'm already liking it. But, hey! I'm still tweaking it. Maybe it'll change your mind.

@Yellowjacket:
Actually, i pictured him like that too (by looking his artwork). But you know, because there are only a few of mike's face references, so i modeled him based on some of my favorite actor, and tweaked it to match with his artwork. Thanks.

@Alfred:
Maybe it because GTA advance isn't as famous as another 3d GTA.
Reasons why he's having a facial hair? Maybe what yellowjacket said
Seriously, i'm liking his beard. But i'm trying to make it more less visible.
