My Knight is now fully textured and I am really happy with the way the chainmail has turned out.



The gloves still need re-texturing because they look flat. The tunic looks good, maybe I need to add some dirt to the texture but I'll do it at a later date. My lecturer has suggested that I should add a background in Photoshop and I agree, my last character had no background just the horizon line and it looked boring. He suggested putting the knight in an archway and told me to look at this image for ideas.

The Knight's armour is now rigged, I have not used Ncloth because I couldn't get it to work and it has really frustrated me because I don't understand why. But the model is rigged and I have put it into a pose.

This is the pose I want to go for, this pose with a background will look good and I can't wait to get my final renders finished and see what they look like. I did try other poses but this is my favourite, my rigging isn't that bad apart from on the elbow joints and the fingers. It really doesn't look natural but I don't have alot of time to do much about it.

The final image will probably need touching up in Photoshop, like darkening the visor so you cant see the head inside. The texture on the sword is a bit streched but I'm not to worried about it, I need to see what my lectuer thinks and then I will begin final renders.
