I was making a vampire which face changes when it becomes a vampire as part of my final year university project. I showed it to my tutor and he said it was "crap". It's not finshed yet, it needs a texture map. I was wondering what people here thought.

What class is it that you are making the model for? That could influence your teacher's opinion perhaps. I personally like the model so far, but would also like to see a frontal rendering, both with a flat isometric lens, as well as a 50mm lens, since there may be something going on from the front the teacher is seeing. Perhaps the teacher is also just not a fan of Buffy.

i think she's damned fine so far.......your tutor is obviously of a bovine intellect, to say the least.....and you can tell him i said that......visit HappyWorldLand, and you'll find the right texture......also, i have a few textures from there that i've altered.....you can find those at www.geocities.com/scars_and_blackroses..........

On Buffy, the forehead always protrudes in vampire mode, mainly because it's probably easier for the makeup artists to slap a large appliance onto the actor midscene. In particular the bridge gets much thicker.

Any tutor who calls his student's work "crap" isn't much of a tutor. A friend of mine used to say my drawings were crap too; now he comes to me every time he wants something artistic done. :) Don't let it get you down. As for the figure, I think it's coming along fine so far too. The hair is a good choice for that character, and once it has a texture map, it should be looking good! Take care! SnowS Hoping his pictures are worth 1001 words.

thanks for your comments, unfortanlty I have left the course because they all ways put the students work down and in the end it just got to me. I have been trying to create a male vampire but I can't find the morph that will alter the forehead. If anyone knows of a morph, please let me know angelus

Complain to the department head. Any tutor or instructor who can't give constructive criticism should be doing something else for a living. Darth Logice did a set of Buffy characters not so long ago, and he managed to morph all of them into vampires. I'll assume he combined a few custom magnets to do it, since he was doing both Vicky and Michael based characters. The great thing about mags is that they can be moved between P4 and Zygote figures -- with necessary adjustments, but still... Look Darth up and contact him.

Agree with most comments here - looks quite nice, could do with a more furrowed forehead. Like the Buffy makeup artists had been using a lot of cornish pastie's in making Trek Klingons before joining the Buffy group. BTW - which hair model is that? Looks almost ideal for something I want to do (but I'm useless at finding the appropriate "free models" - we could do with a central, thumbnailed, database somewhere...
