I'm not sure how his employees will feel (all this time they thought WIP stood for Work in Progress:D ) but this is awesome! Maybe some "Caligari" medal ?

Prodigy,

I would clean up these areas. The tie should be pulled out so the knot is outward not inward. The vertexes I marked need a little work. The 5 stars on the Badge is ok but it needs to be fancier.

I think if I saw this avatar in truePlace I would have a flashback of Wolfenstein. I'd would be running for the exit! I can almost hear the heels clicking as it comes after me......I gotta go...

Steinie, as you know i only made the model the head and ears.. i only change the shader and some models of the body.. yes i see too, i can fix that but i dont know if have any sense still working on that..

Roman wants his body.. ;)

i think im gonna need more more free time to make the body.. For me the head it was enought... you dont think how much time i spend in that head..

Yesterday i play with new tools from the player and i found very very interesting to model.. i make the hair in a few minutes.. preaty cool..

And shhhhhh!!!! you see Apocalipto??? remember the part when they drop the heads from the top of the pyramid?? well... i make my own animated version!!
Guess from who was the head. :jumpy:

Poor roman!! jejeje...
I love the phisic simulation!!

Superb work on the Roman Avatar Prodigy!:banana: :banana:

I like the theme you have chosen as well, quite fitting with the Captain's Blog!


You may have started something though.


Could be Captain's Blog theme with:



Star Trek Captain's uniform.

Sea Captain uniform

Captain of the Guard - Buckingham Palace Guard

Wine Steward Captain - Serving it up!

Roman Centurion Captain < pun intended

Napoleon Roman

Attila Roman

Captain Kangaroo Roman - US cartoon show host of yesterday :D

Submariner Captain

Yacht Captain



heh heh


Sorry, just seems like a natural follow. :)

Jamesmc, yup, can be a good idea..

The problem of this "Contest" is the days are still passing and we dont know whats happend..

Roman, create a full photorealistic model is very ambicius, need lot of modeling time. And maybe we dont win nothing.. :(
And for fun i've made enough..

I said in previous post, its time to choose or close this contest.... but this still rolling like a neverendless contest.. and we lost motivation..

Just my opinion...

Roman, The whole head with ears have 3292 faces..


Only the ear have 597 faces..


The Director of Apocalypto it was Mel Gibson not George Lucas ;)

But im agree i dont like Lucas too :)


Sorry for those STAR WARS FAns.. jejeje :D


-----------------------



Steinie, jejeje its like a horse race..

Thanks but let romans choose..;) you know how many problems came when somebody say something like that..:rolleyes:

"Also I was reminded that my earlob is very attavistic."

Prodigy,
I didn't say you we're the winner, just ahead....I mean a neck...I mean an ear...
Personally I would love to see more entries. The most realistic avatar may not be what wins. Maybe the most unique or the best use of polys. We shall see. Also I never thought of this thread as a Contest. I always thought it was a place to submit an Avatar and if one caught Roman's ear...I mean eye... he might award that person.

I know I should have posted images of Bibiana instead:)

No need, at least not for people with 6.6 or higher - they're in the textures folder for the FA plugin. :)


and how good looks roman with a punk style!!

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/alien42/smilies/lol.gif Yeah, but I did the whole "punk rock Roman" thing ages ago (http://forums1.caligari.com/truespace/showthread.php?p=8219&#post8219). ;)
