Sora's final test build

After trying out several things to get rid of Sora's flat hair, I decided the best solution was to continue the typical "spiky"design.

So now, although he's still missing a hand, I can finally make the last changes and start working on the templates.

Stay tuned!

  1. I know alot of purists will be bitching again how you didn't make every polygon exactly like in the game, but I really like it! It looks very natural like it was always supposed to look that way!

  2. I like it too! But the face doesn't look so nice like in the earlier picture did you change that too because the old one looked better.......

  3. I agree with Anonymous, the face on this one looks a bit too serious.

  4. Haha no, the face is the same, but because I already knew that part was okay, I did it in a real hurry this time to be honest...

    You should really take more time assembling it than I did on this test build. And by pressing the sides, you can make it more oval or more round; that way you can shape it a bit to make it look better (or worse, in this case... ;o)

  6. The eyes look like a real persons eyes. It makes it kind of creepy. if you change that and the hair it will look great!

    Sorry I'm so negative, I just think it could look better.

  7. Agree with the second anonymous really to be honest... but of course it matters not because I doubt I'll build Sora.

  8. I like the hair it's much better then spikes everywhere and then suddenly a flat piece like before that didn't fit together this does.

  9. you know i think you could use enrique3 model of sora http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs40/f/2009/051/6/2/Sora_from_Kingdom_Hearts_2_by_enrique3.jpg as example of what part of the hair is missing

  10. but just a thing
    whats the point of make all detailed (make fingers, seperated strips, rings in chain...)and make head simple and low poly with just 5 peaks of hair??...is even lower poly than cloud's hair, and sora has more hair in game....

  11. It was not a matter of what was missing compared to the game model, because the game model has the flat hair that I really didn't like in the paper model...

    Instead, it was a matter of what was missing for me to make it look better, without the flat surface. And of course some people will like it, and some won't, but 'alas, I can't make seperate versions to please everybody of course... ;o)

    For the same reason, it's not a matter of making *everything* more detailed or not, but getting it to look the way I want to...

    Sometimes that means adding extra straps when the original ones are just textured, sometimes that means adding hair where first there was none, and the fingers is just something I really like, even though they can be difficult to make. ;o)
