I found it !, Jean-Michel Bihorel (3D)

[redbyte]

Wow, that's incredible! :buttrock:
How did you get the sun dried tomatoes so realistic? The DoF is a nice touch too.

Do you have a clay render or wires that you could show?

Great stuff :applause:

[JM-B]

Thanks, I'm sorry but I forgot to mention that only the character is cg, the plate is a photograph shot with my canon 7D. There is a tiny bit of correction on the photo but it's mainly strait out of the sensor. The short film will be on live footage with integrated 3D. I will try to edit the main post to precise that.

[cobra6]

I was about to ask actually because I couldn't quite make out of the dreid tomatoes were CG or not :)

Still very nice work!

It's a very nice high detail character and it's integrated very well on the plate.
Great job.
Looking forward to see the animation.

[fongwan]

the dried tomatoes are made in 3d or photographed?
Very nice picture. Great stuff . Me like

[goktugg]

It looks good, Jean-Michel. Modeling, texturing, shading and rendering are so nice.
I'm looking forward to your next step. Keep going.

[Number1]

Nice work :thumbsup:

I particularly like the way you've done the eyes.

Great textures too - keep it up.

[SCB]

Really nice render, the character looks great!

[InTerceptoV]

Good one. It would be better if you had some rim light capturing the shape of the character.

[JM-B]

Thanks for your comments. I'm glad you like it.
For the rim light I thought of it also but after testing I thought it was not completely justified with a background like this so I went for something softer. I might give another try.
Cheers!

[mauriceelliott]

very nice - cool character!

[ashiataka]

Hi J.Michel, congratulations for this great image.
The way of character integrate into photo is quite realistic.
Also the main thing that comes out of this still image is the short movie will be definitely great.

Cheers!

Nice work and congrats on the award. Look forward to seeing your shortfilm when it completes.

Awesome character design!
Great textures, shading!

Love it!

[ScarletShark]

Wow. I'm captivated, and this begs the question, "what did he find?" I'm excited to see the short.

Congratulations!

[Enji]

I don't really like the character design, but the rendering is really nice !

You also did a nice shot with your camera .

Congrats for your choice gallery award .

[gtora1982]

Really,I can sympathize.I would fell the same way,nice work!

[jonferCgartist]

congrats man! and whats your computer config??

[JM-B]

Many thanks guys!
The configuration on which I worked on at home was pretty bad. 3gigs of ram a 3 years old quad-core and a bad graphic card but it was fairly enough to handle what I had to do as I was working piece by piece. I did render the picture at work though on a dual-xeon with 8 go of ram. Nothing fancy! This is not a scene requiring to much machine power :)
Cheers!

[pap87]

It's a nice image, but it could be better integrated.

To me it doesn't look like he fits in that shot yet. He looks flatly lit compared to the tomatoes. His top light should be stronger and perhaps a bit more red bounce hitting him from below would help too.

[jonferCgartist]

Thanks for the information man! Its very helpful =D

[LuksDm]

Great character in both technical and 'emotional' aspects. Great integration with the plate, you made me wanna watch the short film :).

[Websofy]

the alien is looking nice...keep it up.

[brainspoon]

nicely done and great love for the detail. the character perfectly matches the plate.

[saixia]

Nice work :applause:

[reynante]

Awwww! Lovely in its own right. ;)

[Learningstuff]

Looks awsome, I like the eyes to

[javiermolina]

nice work. the textures are amazing!

[Tremori]

it looks really nice. how much years of experience did it take for you to do something like this

[JM-B]

Thanks guys.
I'm working for a bit more than 3 years now in the CG industry. Add to this 2 years of school . This is for the 3d part but I've always been more or less into drawing characters since I'm child. So I couldn't exactly say how many years it took to me to realize such a picture.

[Pigumon]

I can't wait to see the final film!

I love the feeling of this, his expression is perfect. His little jumpsuit is great too.

Hahah this is such a good character design. Really makes me happy to see it.

[Zaliti]

Great stuff ! ,very nice render!!

[lokalteknik]

Cute one :) Hmm can you get em like a pet ? hehe

[cwaldo39]

That is a really cool design, I like the feel you're going for. I can definitely tell you put a lot of work into the facial details, and I admire that. You should get this model 3D printed.

[KreditMe]

The menu is a picture chance with my brother 7D. Only the personality is complete 3d There is a small bit of modification on the picture but it's mainly strait out of the indicator. The video clip will be done with stay video and incorporated 3D. :shrug:

[KreditMe]

The way of personality include into picture is quite genuine. :thumbsup:

[Eugenius]

I love the character! Best of luck on your animated short :-)

[nightwoodwolf]

awesome .... :applause:

[Seehr]

I love it!

[AntonPepper]

Amazing! I love his eyes!
