Beast of Burden - Character - prayas

[prayas]

After 5 h of work on this. I've seen many similar concepts in this challenge. Maybe i'll change my base a bit.

Anyway the second pic. Human only for give you an idea on the size. P..:

[gwelty]

i checked out your website and you got some awesome car models ....

especially liked the black concept car..

good luck with the challenge, your piece looks good so far

[prayas]

Just a nice Idea what the BoB can look like.

Ok here it comes. Another update. I made up some ideas for the load of my beast. Next thing to do is makin some straps for the load and some scene for placing the model in. Anybody around here abled to help me riggin' the model in C4D? I found a tutorial but don't know if i can do this on my own. P..:

It really looks very nice, I like the idea and some of the details, even for the beginning, are amazing. I can't wait to see the final product.

God luck!!

Last image for this week. It's friday and i'm goin' to do something else this weekend - not modeling. Checkin' back on sunday! Tell me some suggestions on this model. P..:

Nice scale and nice use of the horns!

[Roman]

hhmmm, but where is he gona put is load? (since the crane is on top of him)

I like the BoB design. It reminds me of a mammoth without the ears and trunk. Very cool.

[prayas]

I was inspired by that elephant sice but it is supposed to be more a reptile animal so it's getting no fur or something like this but sort of reptile skin. Maybe just an elephant skin! Don't know yet.

just started rigging this beast. means learnig to do this but I found out that it's really easy in Cinema4D. Just placing bones and then making tha pose.

Thinking about a pose now.

2roman: this beast is for lifting the stones and then carrying it away on hanging on that crane.

p..:

[Aearon]

mhh, if that is it's sole purpose, then maybe make the stones a lot bigger

right now the beast looks kinda useless to me if it's just there for carrying those (relatively speaking) tiny stones

[prayas]

Guten Tag in den Norden von Deutschland. Sorry just for the last post.

The size of the stone has been corrected. I'm trying to post img tomorrow. Maybe the beast needs some kind of wagon behind it or some kind of platform to put the stones on.

hi, gut noch mal in deutsch hier schreiben zu können!:)
und dannn auch noch jemand ausser mir der mit c4d arbeitet.
sieht schon sehr gut aus. du bist also dem modeln schon fertig wenn du schon jetzt bones einsetzt? willst du denn auch noch texturieren in der chsllenge zeit oder machst du das danach?
naja, bin schon gespannt auf die updates!:bounce:

[pit]

looks great - no crits so far!!!!:buttrock:

ps: ich arbeite auch mit C4d -> jetzt sind wir drei!

[prayas]

not even finished the complete concept. I'm not ready with the model but needed bones for making the final pose as stated in the guidelines for this contest. just want to have a little learning effect by this challenge.

Got a question. Having small problems making the bones in C4d.
Already finished a setup, but when i fix the bones and afterwards move them the whole mesh is badly deformed?

I don't really know how to handle this?

Greetz to C4dusers around visit my playground for some more work. ::.. www.prayorpanic.com ..::

hi prayas looking for updates, but........

think u got a lot to do?!

(kurze knappe einträge im board ... du scheinst wenig zeit zu haben, wa?!)

but concerning the character...
good work, modelling excellent!
c ya

[prayas]

Maybe the reason is no time? I got lot of stuff to work on!

Thanks for the comments. I'm doing some work on the load right now. Got a little trouble with making the right size of stones for such a huge beast. Also doing some work on an idea to put stones after lifting.

Been busy on some other work so the last update was some time ago! Seen many works nearly finished and i'm working still on the stage one. Here is a very small update!

Got a place now to put that stone! Maybe this beast is goin to be finished in time.

[DXtreme]

sehr dunkel mein kleener, dit bild!

a good idea i think ......
waiting for a scene now....looks good anyway..keep going!

[prayas]

made some small update not quiet satisfied.

help me cause i need to finish really soon.

[Joril]

Hmm,
I think that is quite impossible, such a huge block of marble. Either the beast tips over, or the crase bulges.
Maybe the marble texture is temporarely, I'd replace it with a big crate or something a bit lighter.
Really nice creature btw, Keep it up :D

Oh, the creature is flaoting above the ground plane. Thought I'd mention.

[prayas]

@Joril THX for the comment. Made them stones a bit smaller.
also continued working on that crane. Not really good mechanics skills on my side.

If anybody likes to helps me with that crane.

here is the pic

[Joril]

Well, the crane as it is now would just hang down, it doens't have any support yet. Normally there would be some pistons on it, but that requires oil and a high level of technology - and I'm not sure that's the case with the setting of your BoB.
A more primitive crane would be made with pulleys.
like so:

I suggest you do some investigating about ancient cranes and levering systems. Search the net a bit :)
Hope it helps :wip: :D
