sir_AXE workshop (IVARA, NIDUS) WIP

[sir_AXE]

Hello there , I'm new to Warframe but I really like the style and I thought it would be a great opportunity to practice merging organic and mech stuff and Ivara looks interesting to start with

Here's a sketch of the head :

What do you think of the base shapes ?

Oh and reading through the guides and stuff , it looks like we can only replace the model of the head , not the body ?

And what about bones with physics (jiggly bones), can we make elements that original rig was not meant for (existing jiggly bones) ?

honestly looks like a frog and an octopus

[sir_AXE]

That's the idea , or should I make ir more abstract ?

[ironfirefist]

I'm getting this vibe from it:

But it looks cool, I like how the robot-features peak under the hood.

Ever tought to do some tennogen work? I'm sure you'd get far, all it needs is some colour.

Thx , yeah I'l finish it ) this is just a sketch , trying to figure out the style and the process , shader system looks simple and there's even a substance shader I think , need to try it )

I'l stick with just octopus probably

Only thing I would suggest is a smaller head.

The head size is fine - i think the issue is thats not an octopus its the whole kraken ... maybe downsize the octohat a bit.

Remember, we are using over the shoulder camera. if the head is too big and wide, it can block the screen during aiming.

Frog and octopus is a good start, go with it.

 

Your original helmet is quite good, I would stick with its aesthetics in my opinion.

[sir_AXE]

yeah it probably was too big, I'l stick with something like this

 

[Railgun]

It looks great! keep up the good work!

[Noabettiet]

Dear god, please continue

this is exactly what i'd want for future Ivara stuff.

[sir_AXE]

thx ) did a quick zbremesh test bake just to see that I should change/add , still working on the face

[Wrum]

angry octo head is angry.

[EchoesOfRain]

I mean it looks cool but this does NOT suit Ivara at all. Have you considered making this a hydroid head/skin?

... to this thread to say its Awesome work!!!

[sir_AXE]

thx)) here's a small update still refining details , closing holes , need to work on the back/top of the head and detail the sides a little more, front is mostly done

also I'l separate the inside/outside of the head to pieces like default one has (not sure why , might be easier to rig)

 

[(XBOX)EternalDrk Mako]

keep getting better n better  ...

seriously really good details and layout
