around the fur deftones????

and the hand is cool idea, but you better get started real fast

[Bezerker75]

handy dandy dude!!!

[AroundTheFur]

heres the start of the hand tree thing, probably finish that tonight and add the seed and background trees. anyone have any ideas for texturing, ways to make it look old and withered. im thinking i could do the approx displace with a stretched noise or something.

[edaddy]

adrenaline? white pony?

[chi]

mabey try making the roots thinner lower to the ground

[AroundTheFur]

[Iguiniz.X.]

He! That is almost the same idea I've been working out --> my challlenge. (Link under my post)
So :buttrock: cool idea. :beer:
well the simularity is that I also have a tree hand. see my consept scetch for it.

anyways good lucky to you in the challenge.:wavey:

Welcome to the challenge. I like your concept piece, just try to keep in mind that it's a forrest so be sure to have textures and lighting that suggest that. As far as the modeling, it looks like you are off to a good start. I like the glowing seed idea. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[AroundTheFur]

ugh heres an update, im finding it very difficult to determine what to put in the background. the pov will be changed, not sure to what however, it is waaay to centralized now. i dont think that just a bunch of out of focus trees should be back there tho. any ideas?

:buttrock:

[ZrO-1]

I think its fine having a centralized focus to your picture. Just make sure you make the hand-tree look like it's in a forrest and not a park.

[Carlocki]

i like it anyway take a look to Le Corbusier 's hand!

[AroundTheFur]

who is that and where can i look? :drumrock:

here we are

Another quick update of the glow, havina bit of trouble but im gettin there, as for the background im lazy and will do it when i get home. :buttrock:

[ZrO-1]

Yeah that glow needs work. Right now I'd say its too strong and it looks like it's coming from behind the seed rather than from within it. Also the background picture looks a bit stretched side-to-side.

[AroundTheFur]

any ideas on how to make the seed look like its glowing, i can make the object itself glow but it would be hard to tell its a seed. and the bg is a temp image

[AroundTheFur]

heres a quick update, still have to fix a couple trees in the back, add some dead grass and work on my ground texture, but i think its comin along.

[ZrO-1]

Man, that last pic looks great. I really like the changes you made to the glowing seed. It looks much better now. I like the direction you are going with for the background also. Good work! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Bezerker75]

hey nice avatar...I like the glow much better in the last image...can't wait to see more..:buttrock:

[AroundTheFur]

Sigh, I was thinkin of try to put a character in there climbing the tree trying to grab the seed, but i have no experience with chars at all, none. I figure the only way to learn is to try so maybe ill give it a go, let me know if i ruin it.

[AroundTheFur]

HAHAHHAAHA well i told you ive never made a character before, so here he is, and i dont plan on having much of him show in the final render, maybe him just poking his fro-ed head behind the tree looking up at the seed or something. hhahhaha whatya think

[Kaos]

you know, i think that a little village built around the hand would rock, you could have scaffolding and ladders and rope bridges and raised platform and cottages and taverns all interlinked, but arrayed around the hand, and then that character would be quite small, and would do perfectly for the scene......... just a thought........

keep working on it!!!!

:thumbsup:

[AroundTheFur]

It's a good idea but i think its kinda been done by every, single, person, in this contest.:wavey:
