Anyway.. my very first attept ev0r of making a humanoid. I think I like Hexagon...

And to keep this Poser related: Someone expressed doubt that Shahara could jump from being a texture maker and to do a character. Well, I made this one last night. From a sphere, no less, it's all extruded extrusions from that sphere that is his head.

And again, this was made in a couple of hours, and with no previous modeling skills (when it comes to organics/box modeling/Hexagon) WHATSOEVER.

So my conclusion is: Yes, Shahara could very well have made the jump from texture maker to figure maker. It's not really all that difficult.

(of course I'm well aware that this is a pathetic excuse for a male character, but... in some small way I think it proves something anyway...

at least it proves that Hexagon is easy to use LOL)

LOL!!

Aww.. are you laffing at my fine guy here? I admit he's a bit saggy in places, but I'm sure he has potential...

snigger

Anyway he was fun to make. But OMG HOW do you people make hands?!!?!?

those toes remind me of something...

ducks and runs

The Monty Python Foot perhaps? ROFL

Good luck getting Kent's (well I had to name him SOMETHING...) feetsies to line up with anything... the toes doen't even line up with each other giggle

Wonder what happens if I ran Sparky's STOMP on the feets?

Hey, now that we've established a pattern, I hope this is all leading to someone making the perfect Tom Welling likeness... oh my! 8)~
I am reserving judgement on the droolworthyness of Brandon Routh. Yes, I have downloaded the trailer.

Any Superman segue is a good segue! ;)

Your guy looks like he was made with Silly Putty.  Same coloring, same gooey look. If you hadn’t shown the mesh, I would have been very suspicious.

I'm sorry this is an obivous copy of my body!
I demand you remove that webcam now...

copyright copyright !!!  you copied my mesh !!!!   (sorry everybody couldn't resist)

Ya know for only a couple of hours that's cool, don't toss him keep playing with it. sure better than where i'm getting with hex

Uh-oh! I hope Binney & Smith won't sue me for the use of their Silly Putty™ colour :scared:

I'm not tossing him G I'm not a tosser.

Seriously, hexagon is the easiest program I've tried yet, for organic modeling. Have you checked out the first video tutorial? The "Space Cow"? That's how I learned how to do Kent. By watching that and getting an idea of just what was possible at all :m_grin:

And honestly it took only some 6 hours total from start to this.

I like him - When he's rigged can I make him a sock for his willy.

Ooh something he can use as a sock puppet?! :m_grin:

LOL, The incredible melting Man:) Stop. I might give you ideas to make a morph from the finished back to this. Now, that would be too cool:)

Can't wait to see you do a Rickman morph for him  :::DUCKING:::

:woot:

Dang!  I opened the thread hoping to see "Viggo Mortensen" in all his awesome glory,  LOL

goes away disappointed

Oh come on now! Anyone with half a brain can see that you Bodybagged Gumby! MODS! <GD&R>

Awww? What do you mean? I was LOOKING at one of my numerous images of Teh Alan while I did this... (honstly as there are no less than 6 pics of Him surrounding my computer)

...

me?

obsessed?! O_o

er...

And Acadia... Sorry. Can this remedy the situation?

Some nice pics of Viggo from LiveJournal

Some pics in celebration of his birthday (also from LiveJournal)

BodyBag?

Was he still alive when you moddled him and this is the result of him struggling to get out.

If so, you're just mean!  at least make sure he's dead first.

y'know.. I have an URGE to actually model a black body bag..........

Someone already did, it's in Free Stuff.

And he even has man boobs!

Yeah and doesn't he look surprised by that! :blink:

I think you traced the mesh of gumby and Mr. Bill.  And somehow a mesh magically sprang forth that you couldn't possibly have created as you have no modeling experience.

On a serious note, It was the speed of the modeling that cause the mesh to melt.  You have to take months to work on a complex human form to keep it from doing exactly that.

Naw, more like Wallace as in "Wallace and Gromit." ;) bB

Quote - Nuff said. ;)

is dead

...also, I swear on my soul the timing on the body bag was sheer coincidence.

Well at least we have something to put dead/retired poser figures in now! :m_laugh:

don't quote me on this, but gumby didn't have a "unit" AFAIK :lol:

What do you think Pokey was? Mince meat? ROTFLMAO!

Now I'm giving away my age

:b_uncertain:

I'd really prefer the pink pony tho.....

Don't worry Tas, You're not alone.

Here you can see "Viggo Mortensen," in all his awesome glory,

This whole conversation makes me sad. Can't we just all get along?

Quote - This whole conversation makes me sad. Can't we just all get along?

I don't really see that we aren't getting along - I don't think anyone has slammed the effort put into trying to model the figure and as a first attempt it's a great effort - I doubt if I would even try such a project.

People have just tried to inject some humor into the thread.

Seriously I would be interested in a "Gumby" type character if TrekkieGrrrl was to go down that path and develop the body she already created.

Hell I'd even like a model of Pokey or the Blockheads if they were available.

I could relive my childhood - but this time in CG!

Wasn't there a Gumby character available for Poser at some point? I'm fairly sure...

Now, being unfamiliar with Gumby myself... Anything specific I should watch for to make it as gumby-like as possible, if I decided to actually make one? It should be easy enough to model...

I think gumby* would be pretty easy to model with hex.  Boning him (no pokey jokes, please) wouldn't be overly complex as he was just a piece of rubber with wire inside.  No specific joints to consider.

create the general outline and extrude.  Images should be readily available on the net. 

*adult expansion pack sold seperately

should also point out that Prema holds the trademark on Gumby and should be consulted before releasing a likeness.

There was a Gumby released a while back...I haven't reinstalled him, but here's what was in the readme:

Kent is a great start though....and as frustrating as meshes can be...they certainly are fun. I just hate doing the joints in Poser. I have two figures I started last year that are still waiting to be finished.

April, you seen the uneditted pics of Brandon Routh in the Superman costume? fans himself
