Quote - Dang Rokket ,you just got a super hero partty going on at your house .

Yeah, I have been having fun with it again, so I figured I'd keep going as long as I was enjoying it.

Well, I ran into two snags in less than 10 minutes so I am on a short break until I can get over getting mad at myself for letting these mistakes get past me.

Mistake number one is kind of forgivable because it was small and can be missed. There were two vertices that were subsurface on the Batman suit that made it go haywire when I moved the shoulders in any direction. So I have to take the suit back into Wings and correct that.

The other mistake was a little more noticeable, and I NEVER should have let that one happen. I modeled the entire Flash costume on an exported Ryan figure that wasn't zeroed out.

Batman is an easy fix and will be done later today. But I am still PO'd about the Ryan mistake, so I will probably do a restart on that one tomorrow.

Edit: I don't have to remodel the boots or gloves, and I hadn't done the cowl, so it's just the suit itself that needs to be redone.

Don't beat ya self up ,we all skip or miss something daily.

wrong polycounts,wrong size maps,had vertices stacked,didn't save maps,didn't make the right maps,

work on the wrong project,email projects mixed or emailed the right mesh to the wrong company,textured the wrong mesh or right mesh wrong texture.

list goes on & on.

At times I wounder how we accomplish anything on time.

LOL! :lol:

I've done all of that in a single morning!

I'm not beating myself up, I am simply denying myself that next cookie until I get this fixed... :blink:

But the suit for the Flash is coming along nicely.

Oh, and I found this on the google...

Project halted.

The real world has gotten in the way. I am finally home with my kids, so I have more than 10 months of time to make up (I know I can never really make it up, but it won't stop me from trying), and I am having problems I thought I had already solved and the frustration isn't worth the end product.

I dunno if I am going to bother once I have to go back to work. I'll let you know.

rokket : since you do most of this stuff just for fun .

smith micro sells a 2d comic app & gimp's free ,would be fast and easy.

Blender would be a lot easier then Poser.
lower polycount meshes are easier then higher ones.

I have GIMP, Blender, Wings 3D, MeshLab, Sculptris, Poser, all just for fun. The problems I am encountering are the exact same problems I had with the Halo suit for Miki, and since it was almost 8 months ago that I did her rigging, I can't remember how to fix what is messed up.

So I will take a break and have some quality time with my family. I will pick this up when I get back on the road.

Yes, spent the time with your family! That is a much better investment of time then anything you do on your computer. Don't let the digital get in the way of real life ;)

Besides, I wouldn't want to deprive the world of this:

The Flash is missing his gloves because that's where I stopped with his costume, and there are two others that need to be done, but.... you get the point.

Ach Rokket,

Call them :

• SuperiorWoman,
• Flashlight, 
• Manbat.

LOL.

Or go by the boots. LOL.

• RedBoot
• YellowBoot
• BlackBoot

LOL

:lol:

This one will get figured out. The only problem will be the guy and gal with red boots when they are all there. And I believe there will be two guys with black boots too. Or maybe one with black and one with a forest green. Or something like that. And... I am hearing that Ryan Reynolds is not interested in reviving his Hal Jordon character, so there is a rumor that Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson could be playing John Stewart, who replaced Hal as the lantern.

So I will have to see before I make that suit.

And that's still on hold until the second week of February anyhow for me. :woot:

They say dreamers have no use for memory cause there always dreaming of tomorrow.
This wasn't a probleam untill CGI.paint n canvas no memory needed.
Now I make notes or tutorails so I can remember how I did that.
Now if I could only remember where I put those notes.

Bingo. They say that when you get old, it affects two things first: your memory.... and I forgot what the other thing was.

Oh, and the Green Lantern isn't done. He's still missing his ring and gloves.

I will figure it out. Then I will figure out what I want to do with these costumes. Seems a shame to let them go to waste, but I don't know if I want to devote anymore time to them...

Apollo sometimes needs Match End Points checked in the body of conforming clothes...

That would be too bad too, because I put a lot into this. Although I do admit, I am recycling a few parts from Batman to make Superman's costume. His cape and suit, for instance...

And that suit is just a starting point. Here is where it is at the moment.

The piping is modeled in there, it's not displacement. That way I can texture it later on.

Are you meshing the emblems into the bodysuit or are you using decals from prior images?  If image decals, I have, in the past, taken those images into a an Illustration application and rework them into a higher resolution for sharpness.

I am meshing the emblems into the suit. I did it for all of them so far. I will get a screen cap of the others and post it.

I prefer to model the emblem vs trying to get a decal to fit and look right (see above).

That's all for today. The kids will be home from school in a bit.

Looking good!

Run Lex ,run !!!

I really need to change that hair! OMFG! I got a fresh look at it and it's horrible.

I am off to find something I can replace it with.
