Mario

I was awaiting this new user to return so I could help him along with his request: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=79&t=37655&p=332380#p332380
But he never did return, so I could not help, I guess he did not want to learn it bad enough.

I went ahead and modeled it anyway.

I was hoping to walk the new guy through, but he never returned so I did not do much saving of images, except for one.

Here is the body proxy, head was done with sculpting tools.

Oh, and remember from a previous thread, this is my base which I created for all my characters, color coded for rigging and then can be manipulated as needed.

Brilliant as usual pete... Thanks for sharing the model.. but it would be a great help if you could tell how do u exactly use the color coded areas for changing the poses..?

boofredlay

I am assuming where the color changes are joints.

and...? that helps by? this is an entirely new concept to me.. I am not into character modelling or organic modeling, but it fascinates me none the less... (maybe not into it coz cant do it that well yet) but how does having them in diff colors help i believe each colour is a diff layer... but still nothing..(sorry for sounding dumb). I thought (and I remember one of solo's quotes here "do not believe everything you think) that probably the way to go about it would have separate components for diff body parts and then just rotate or move the proxies as required...?

Let me show you, give me a few minutes.
