New Project Character Modeling

Hey guys haven't posted in a while, bu I am now working on a new project around Character Modeling.

My Character Modeling project including me creating and designing a game character model, of which is a representation of myself. Research an original idea that is detailed and fits within a criteria set. (E.g a period in time, mine being the future). Utilize as many sources of reference as possible including film, television, comics and real life.

Produce an original Concept Design informed by my research. Show early sketches and development towards my final concept. Based on my design produce blueprints that will be used to create a 3D mesh. Using real life reference for face modeling and textures.

Build a character based on my design, with my research into modeling to support my build. show good use of edge loops throughout the model and the polygon placement should be efficient and well distributed. I can use between 2048 x 2048 files in the TGA image format to create my character textures. I must create Diffuse, Specular, Normal and Alpha maps for my character. Preserve all Photoshop files so that the layers and development can be observed.

Rig and Skin my character ready to be placed using Biped and the skin tool in 3d Studio Max.

Render my character as part of my portfolio using methods learned from previous modules. Renders should be in JPG format and be 1280 x 1024.

I will be posting more of the development of my work, as it progresses.
