thanks. your not wrong about the armor, just early still working on it :)im making a club for him right now and then im doing some leather straps for the armor. as far as the smile, his face will be rigged and im still working on an inner mouth piece for him since im modeling that seperate (seemed like it'd be a pain to do it with the character in sculptris)

its for a game that im not sure which engine im going to use for it. thinking a8/7 then was going to use torque but then i lost use of my good computer so i might be back to a8/7 with it. its more of a side project and demo that i do in between other projects, but im releasing all the art for sale as i finish it (same game i made the kobald for) I've already done some a7 engine renders, and they are turning out nice, much nicer than those blender screens

Nonsense. It isn't even anatomically likely or possible at all.
Just have look on group fotos.
Just as one of thousends: http://unity3d.com/company/
Measure the distances between the edges of the eyyes and the side of the head, between chin and head top, between chon, mouth, nose (lower end), eyes(height) and top.
You will see that all of the faces within those group fotos are very close to the standard proportions. (Maybe, this foto is a bit too small to actually measure th eproportions, but there are enough fotos that are very large.)

I mentioned 'anatomy' - that's a different point to consider when modelling or painting.
It is not identical to proportions, although proportions depend on anatomy.

It is a point that came to my mind when looking at your model, lostclimate. I thought about what I'm missing in your model. I'm missing details anatomy.
Anatomy is about our expectations how the body of the given model 'works', it is about where we expect to see 'hints' through the skin about the muscles and bones and ligaments and joints of them, and it is about 'weights', means, that we expect that a big muscle is connected to strong ligaments and strong bones that are able to bear the strength of the muscles.

Hints of anatomy is that what comes additionally in when we are forming cartoony characters, because their forms are often anatomically impossible.
The exaggeration of certain parts is compensatd by anatomical details. Additionally, there are conventions of drawing (expecting) cartoony characters, that you have to consider, too.
Nontheless, cartoony characters and, even more, caricature have some different rules, too.
The following picture from the wiki is a nice example:

My roleplay towerdefense game is progressing

For more Screenshots look at: http://www.mjip.de

Experimenting with ent_buffers and sort of creating AABB movement, no c_trace/ c_move involved:

Cool stuff! You wouldn't mind sharing your results, would you?

looks nice, im currently working on a td game too only for android.wondered what your doing for describing a path? I know i struggled with how i wanted to implement it. i ended up with a very unconventional way of doing it i think that still makes the game fun, but also works better form mobile phones.

EDIT: figured i'd show the progress on the club :

Looking good there!

@Losticmate:
For the path i already used A8 Path points system to for example make a character follow path, A8 have already simple functions like NextNode , FindPath etc ...
it's easy to create on the editor and to manage by code

@dice :
You couldchange the textures in the final version, they look like having too much noise perhaps ?
You could put some Blurr filter on your ground textures to make them less grainny from long distance view ?
Or use some Bloom filter in game to have more homogeneity on graphics, it looks like all elements and textures was not in the same ambient light.







just my personnal taste.

Anyway great game , a tower defense for 3DGS !
Keep it up.

There are two types of towerdefense in my game: the one's with a preset path and the one's where monsters can decide which way they choose.
For the first type I used the path tool in the wed editor... every level has its default path!
The second type I implemented the Dijkstra-algorithm, where the monsters choose the shortest path to their goal.
How did you implement youre way of "pathing" ?




Hehe, I know the design looks horrible! Ill improve it when game mechanics work correctly. I dont know much about good texturing and lightning... at this time my game only uses the standard texture pack from 3DGS
I also want to implement some terrains to let the environment look and feel better... I want to do so much!!!
But thanks for the hints

dice

@ratchet, i was actually asking dice what kinda game are you working on though?

lol i know i update too often but :
