This is just to be very sure what kind of texture\shader I will apply to the soilders.

I will work him in some days don’t worry

The only thing I would like to see changed in the model mesh is boots. They should be like on this image – http://morevnaproject.org/wiki/File:Demo20-s3-4-b.jpg .

Here’s a few more soldiers images for inspiration:

http://morevnaproject.org/wiki/File:Soldiers-01.jpg
(Notice the boots on the last image are different – this is a first version and it’s outdated now. But I like the mood of this image very much. ^__^)
And one more thing: maybe the head could be a little bigger.

About shading – that would be great to achieve something like this. Currently we use standard Edge function of Blender renderer. I haven’t dig into outlines produced by nodes yet… And don’t know if we should – maybe we should go with Freestyle rendering when it will come to final render…

You just need to give me a base image of all the proportions in the character desing, like this one:

About the texture in the soldiers… you need a shader like this one, no?:

I could try to get something like that for you.

In fact you already started contributing – we have your soldier model commited in morevna repository since June. ^__^

I’ll explain a little what we need this model in the first place.
As you might know, the Morevna Demo starts when the main character (Ivan) is found on the street which is covered with soldier bodies – http://download.tuxfamily.org/morevna/blog/2012/01/ushot01.png
Then Morevna founds him, gives him a hand and helps to stand up.
And here goes the very complex shot (number 07) – http://www.mediafire.com/file/chdwh3321023l1i/07-20120131-133721.avi
Ivan and Morevna standing on the street, camera turns around and the soldiers starting to get up from the ground. So Ivan and Morevna got surrounded by freaky-beasty-angry-headache-suffering soldiers. (Definitely this is a kind of hangover you don’t deserve ^__^). Something like on this image – http://morevnaproject.org/wiki/File:09-Soldier-11.png – but of course that should be in 3D (because we have camera turn).

So, we need 3D animation of soldiers getting up from the ground. What we have now is one rigged soldier model.
This task should be accomplished in following steps:
1. Apply colours/textures to this model. Use this image as a guide – http://morevnaproject.org/wiki/File:09-Soldier-11.png
2. Make animation of this (one) soldier model. That will allow us to test the rig capabilities and do necessary tuning if required.
3. Create soldier copies and add variations.
4. Animate them as well.
5. Gather everything together on the scene.

What do you think about this task? Would it be interesting for you?

but yes, it is my Low Poly work but my bases are the creation of High Poly meshes like this one that I did for an Open Project similar to yours:

in the 2D side:

Guys I really love the anime style!! was the great of my infancy
will be great that I can contribute with something to your project.
