UT3 Character - Rankin returns

[Legendary_Lee]

Edit: Here is the download to Rankin_v1.0 http://www.fileplanet.com/200264/200...ent-3---Rankin



Hi all. Heres a Unreal character Im going to be modeling for UT3. Its a remake of Rankin from UT99. He was my favorite character in UT99, I want to get it into UT3. I was inspired by UT3 and Gears of War. Any and all C&C are welcome.


UT99:

[Legendary_Lee]

He lost one of his arm in battle. Now his arm is grafted with an enhanced mechanical arm. I think is kool that it would also serve as a nice asymetrical detail on the model. In the end, I can make two versions. One with both normal arms, and one with the mechanical arm.



Heres the concept Ive been working on.

[Legendary_Lee]

Ive started modeling and sculpting the head. Heres what I got so far..

[EpicJon]

normals look good

[Chinchaku]

[Stuey95]

[DavoX]

[coolcat22]

[Bi()ha2arD]

[DeMiZe`]

This was also one of my favorite characters. I can't wait for the release

[geodav]

the stubble on the chin looks more like the skins flaking off, or is that what you want.

ps nice to see you back Lee

[Legendary_Lee]

Thanks so much for all the kind words guys! Great motivation to work on this guy.

coolcat22- I dont know much about sound and voice pack.. It would be real kool to bring back the voices from UT99 one. If anyone can help me with that part, that would be awesome.

geodav- Hey man, yeah long time no see.. yeah the stubble on the chin was bad.. I had to go in and rework them.. Thanks for that feedback.

Heres the update on the head.

[coolcat22]

BuffyTheSlayer- Thanks. Ill see when Im done with this guy. I might make the other guys in his squad.

/CPH\- Thanks for those sounds. I cant wait to try them out when Im all done.

ColdfireRik- Thanks man.

I am now working on the body and armor parts. Ill show the progress on those soon..

[Legendary_Lee]

Ok, heres another update on the head. Worked on the hair some more.



Im also working on the arm. Ill post that up soon..

[Sedinus]

Wow. If rest of the model would look as good as head... you'll score a WIN

[*il_beppe*]

great job man!
keep on it, the detail of the head is incredible!

[leakingpaint]

nice one! hope you finish this

[Legendary_Lee]

Thanks guys. Heres the progress on the right arm. The other arm is going to be mechanical enhanced arm.

[Sedinus]

Damn, how experienced are you? I'd be really shocked if you aren't already working with kinda game company ;]

[coolcat22]

wow looks great the arms look super ooh yeah and the head looks great too

[Legendary_Lee]

Sedinus- Thanks. Yes, I am working in the industry.

coolcat22- Thanks man.

Heres the update on the arm.

[SyfeKS]

sweet. your character is going to look awesome

[Sedinus]

That's what I thought :P Hope you won't collect any charge :P So far Rankin is able to look, hear, make faces, and grab things. Let's wait until he can walk

[Bi()ha2arD]

... Let's wait until he can walk

more like Let's wait until he can kick ass

[Zeb89]

Amazing model detail. Looks awesome even when untextured.

[cUnNiNg_StUnTs]

awesome talent man keep it up...

[SyfeKS]

more like Let's wait until he can kick ass

yes, i wonder why they removed this guy :/

[Henrik]

Looks killer.. makes me want to get back into Zbrushing more seriously. I get the impression you used a tablet to get such fine control of the strokes? Just wondering if it would be worth using my Cintiq.

[coolcat22]

bump>>>>>>>>>>

[Legendary_Lee]

Thanks guys for being patient. Ive been pretty busy lately.. Hope to speed things up a bit.

Bersy- Thanks. Yes, I used a wacom tablet for Zbrushing. Cintiq would be great to use.

Heres the progress on the chest armor done in Max:

[Sedinus]

When the lower part of armor will be finished, I gotta say "omg... amazing", but now... just "good"

[Legendary_Lee]

Ok, bit more progress on the chest armor. I will be detailing it even further. Working on the concept for the back now.

[Bi()ha2arD]

HAWT! cant wait to frag with that guy!

[Sedinus]

A-ha! And that's what I'm talking about :P There's only one bad thing about your character... I'll need to choose between him and Malcolm! Dammit. Just impossible to play both of 'em
