Ironmania MarkIII/IV WIP

Ratteler · Forum Member Joined: Jun 10, 2002 Posts: 545 Location: NYC

Since I'm still without a "graphic" computer, I'm stuck modeling on an old Celeron 1.1Ghz, with 256MB ram, and some crappy built in graphics.

That means I can't work on Reslo since I need to have M3 fully loaded with morphs in a Background layer at the same time, and creating the morphs is more like playing golf. Hit a vertex, wait to see where it lands, change tool, hit it again.

Not fun.

So I decided to something more fun.

Wow, that's awesome! Old-school Ironman ftw.

Is this for M3?

I have him using M3 rigging at the moment, but I think I'm going to release him with Zman Rigging because he's being designed as a stand alone figure.

Zman is compleatly open source so I won't have any problems with redistributing his rigging.

And the mesh is 100% mine.

If I can work out the permissions I'll also do an M3 and Apollo version.

Most recent update. Still working on the gloves, and I need to UVmap him.

He's currently 7833 Polygons with both arms.

So the question is... would you prefer a built in Tony Stark face, or just poping whatever head you want on as prop?

Zmann ???

Just one "n" in Zman

Zman is a Poser rigged version of a model released to Open Source by Zygote a little over a year ago.

The entire figure is Open Source including the rigging, so I can can just modify that CR2 and release my Ironman in that form without issue. If I relase him as a stand alone M3 figure, I have to ask DAZ permission, and might have to RTE encode him to M3 even though the Geometry is compleatly original.

There is also a Zwoman and Zgirl.

The DAZ "3" family is about to go the way of Dork and Possette with V4 leading the way.

I really like the idea of Open Source models anyway. So I think supporting these figures will be cool.

Almost there. Got about half the UV mapping done... and some morphs.

Oh and the best news... he's only 9100 Polys at the moment.

Looks like he's coming along quite nicely.

Has this been released????... :oops:

Rattler you have had some awesome stuff showcased and then I never see it again. I don't want to miss out! :wink:

It hasn't been released yet. I had a Power Supply catch fire WHILE I was working on it. So... another week of pure downtime.

The good news is that its all safe and saved. The UV maps are now about 90% done, AND....the MORPH are coming along nicely.

That's right. He said Morphs!

You are going to have about 20 years of classic IronMan in a single figure.

This is going to be a really nice stand alone figure and a sample of what I can really do.
