I'd agree; the hair needs texture to prevent it from looking like playdough on her head.

I think the hair will look fine without a texture, as long as it's going to be cell shaded in Osu like in the pic below. But, if the mascot isn't going to be cell shaded, then I think the hair will need a texture added to it.
Would you like me to post the hi res hair textures I made? (They're 1000X1000) =3

Go ahead. By the way, do you guys mean something like this when you're talking about hair textures?Loofah wrote:

OK then, here they are
@Lolginer: yeah, something like that
@Loofah: Thanks for all the support on this. Is it convenient to tweak the colour of those textures at all? The pink has a bit too much...blue? to it? It looks a bit lavender or whatever colour I'm thinking of around there.
Here's a proper shot of the eye, btw, as nature intended:
I don't know if that hair texture just happens to be partially transparent or something and may translate really well onto the model.

I like the style of the textures, but that's not going to work very well on the model. It has to be tilable, and the smaller it is, the better. You should also lose the part on the bottom and the white light shining on the middle of the texture.Loofah wrote:

Basically, just lines plz. :3
OK then, I'll post some new ones in a while then, and by tileable what do you mean? do I have to delete the dark parts?
He means that the texture will need to be seamless. The image will need to be created so that when it is placed next to itself horizontally and vertically, there will be no visible seams.Loofah wrote:

I can't use any transparency on the hair, since it has depth. The only way to get around it is by making the hair flat, but that wouldn't look right due to those damn stripes. This render should also display why fake specularity + textures = bad mix.Loofah wrote:
I can do horizontal easy.... but vertical would kind of make it looks a bit plain, I'll wait till loginer shows me how the texture is actually laid on until I post some new ones.
Finally, these textures are too big. 1000*1000 is on a dimension way beyond overkill, and since this texture is all about details, I can't just scale it in Photoshop. A tileable 100*100 or so texture should do the trick, though.
100x100....... easy, here they are
Topic Starter
They're not vertically tileable, and the details are waaaay to sma- Oh, you resized the original texture. <_<
Loginer, why not just cut the chunks you need out of the big textures? It'd only require a little photoshopping the edges to get them to tile properly.

I had to modify the color of the bottom texture, but other than that, they're great. They're still a bit large, but the face texture is even larger, anyway. 
Give me something to work with already. Now I need to look at implementing the model in DirectX AND opengl. What a pain

Yeah, but a closed mouth would look better than an open one in this case. Just make a neat-looking line, and we'll call it a day.

Not sure what you mean with layers. Something like bump mapping?awp wrote:
The way it wraps around the hair, it looks a bit like wood grain. Is there a way to layer the hair so it doesn't look as much like playdough? Or make it some kind of fur/hair material?
If I were an expert on this I could probably advise something specific a la modeling, but all I can say is that right now the hair doesn't exactly look like hair.
And there is a hair-and-fur modifier in 3ds, but it's not made for real-time rendering.

Bump-mapping might work. It looks like one solid piece right now (which might look good enough in a cartoon shader) when it should not be perfectly smooth (particularly in the black) - the strands at the top of the head do not reach her shoulders, only the lower roots will. That sorta thing.
Also, that angle shows some pretty useful information: her nose is pointy, and there's an absence of a bridge. It looks as if you can get away with flat eyes, but she could really use a bridge on her nose. Use yourself for reference as much as you need to...unless your nose is broken ;x
this probably can't reqally be done because of ow the model is set out, but I do think that the nose needs a bridge, that or not have qa nose at all.

But other than that, what else could be done? Gloss, bump mapping, new textures, what would help?
Gloss is a step in the wrong direction. Make it look rougher, maybe. Might need to rely on the textures, but here's a thought:
for the pink bangs, make them thinner. Right now they're pretty circular like "O" but maybe they should be closer to "=". Might help.

I have made the bangs thinner (Although you really can't notice it from the front), and improved their mapping coordinates. I've also increased the contrast on the textures. How's this?
It looks better than it did before imo; how does it look from a more intended resolution?

No, like, depth thin. Like the end of Saw V thin. As if she were standing straight and her front and back were compressed together by a trash compactor sort of thin.

Here's the latest version (Sorry for the delay, I blame the cold I caught). I don't know if I've fixed the flatness, but it's definitely better than the last one. Ignore the weird-looking shoes in the back view, I already fixed that problem.
Also, does anyone think stages would be a good idea?

My biggest issue is with the eyes and the overall shape of the face. Given how flat it is (absence of cheekbones is one major player in this) the face looks almost alien, like those classic huge-black-eyed-bald-with-very-round-head type aliens. Seriously, the eyes are still a bit dark and not vibrant enough. Don't make me hotlink my avatar again >=(

I've thinned the calves down slightly, and I've improved the boots.
I've also added some cheekbones. I'll improve them if necessary, but do they give the face more depth or not?

Every little bit brings it closer and closer. That might be pronounced enough; it's a bit hard to tell from just one view, and with the texturing incomplete.

face is too triangular, flat and doesn't have much definition whatsoever, adding a mouth wont change those problems and people will still nitpick the face.
I'm about to just draw what I think would fix it since I'm terrible at describing. the hair also doesn't cover enough of the head. but i think you already mentioned that needed to be fixed. One immediate thing I noticed was the chin. In fact I think ill just bring up the original picture.
The chin doesn't start closing until below the eyes.
From what i've seen from more accomplished modelers is that they try to form the body right from a profile view, then they try to make it look correct from a side view and then clean it up.(but this process would require a profile pic and a side view pic)
I really hated making this post because I have next to 0 experience with 3D modeling.

Look at the bottom of any pair of shoes or boots. The sole is all one piece, even though it's thickest at the heel.
The face only looks like it's flat because of the lighting, and I'm working on the definition. I'll see what I can do with the chin, though. And yes, I know about modeling stuff that way, but no one was up for the job of drawing references back when I started modeling Pippi.lukewarmholiday wrote:

I've updated the shape of the head slightly. This is what the head would look like if it was 1/4 of the height (it is currently 1/6, and let's pretend the neck is a little longer than it is). I think it's too large.
While we're at it, this is what the head would look like in a nightmare.
Oh, and I fixed the shoes.

Personally, I think the bigger head looks amazing. Sure it may not be very anatomically correct, but it really pulls it all together imo. It's just when the head was smaller it seemed like something was missing, and a lot of that was filled imo when you made it larger.
Also, boots look much better. Legs look much better. Everything really went a step up.
edit: shoes do look better, but I think the bridge from heel to toe can be brough down a bit further.

I thought the big-headed one was a joke, and it's nice to see it toned down a bit, but I feel you could do with another 5% or 10% smaller. Star on her chest is a tad too low. The top point of the star should almost reach the scarf. Also there are little osu buttons on her gloves - they should probably be modeled rather than textured on. And, of course, I'd still like to see the belt as a modeled piece - right now it just looks like an osu! button pinned onto a skirt.
Just out of curiosity, how would the eyes look when attempting to emulate the more cartoony look of the chibi?

I was checking out some 3ds max videos on youtube (you use that, right?) and I came accross this mario model and the eyes look rather amazing in it. Mario's eyes are pretty similar to pippi's eyes (if you use the chibi ones) so is it at all possible to use the same technique that the mario model has when referring to the eyes? Make the head model cave in a bit where the eye sockets are, that is.

It's not that simple. The face is too low-poly to add details like those without messing up the shading really badly, and adding more lines is a pain in the ass due to how the head is connected to the body. MeshSmooth and it's fetish for ruining shapes doesn't make anything easier, either. Just figuring out a way to add a nose without screwing up the shading too much took quite a while. Also, the eyes are separate objects in that video.
