Double oh Seven..

What with the hype of the new Bond film arriving i thought i'd have a bash at doing a bond homage. When i was a kid, Connery was Bond. Massively iconic and helping forge the Bond brand i think it's only fitting i make him as my 3d characture.

I'm think I'm going to make the famous Bond opening sequence, then with a twist.

But first i have to make Sean. Below is my first effort. Modeling heads is a nightmare..



I must stress i work fast but this is very early days.

Here we go I'm jumping straight in with a big style change.

As this will be done cartoon style i've gone for the sketch style t/map and made the face a little more exaggerated..



Usually i make sketches when i embark on a new project but i couldn't get them looking good enough so i've gone straight to the computer.

[sampsonx]

could we just see a wireframe of the face- not textured?

[mikeb]

Next round I'll post some wireframes..

Moving on, as i like to push things forward.

I've started off with a sort of Rayman approach to my character..



At the moment the gun only consists of 4 polygons and can only be seen from this angle.

Here is another little update, a tidier neck & shoes..



The extreme white and letter boxing is in preparation for the bond gun barrel effect.

Here is the next update, now with the hero donning a bow tie and even a set of ears to hear the secret agent things a secret agent has to hear..



I've also cleaned up the head once more, given him a neck (which will help when i get to the animation phase). The texture of the gun has also been updated.

Next up I'm thinking of giving him a proper body, still stumpy, but then with arms..

[mikeb]

I will post a quicktime vr in my next post to give you a better idea of my guys 3dness.

For now i've changed the style a little, rigged arms etc.



What does everyone think, is the the new or the old body style better???

Next up a sneak preview of my DB5, on it's way and full of gadgets..

[Billabong]

new body style is much better Mike. Im loving this so far

[solarkid]

I don't like how wide he is. 007 is nimble and quick, not stocky like a dwarf...
It is looking good though. Where are those wires?

[FLUXITY]

It's looking cool, I like the style.

If you're having arms, you need to add some legs as it looks really odd at the moment. Think that's why he looks stocky because it's a torso with shoes.

The car is looking really cool, the roof is a little bumpy though.
