[Koma]

amazing detail ..........wow ...but the barrel seam to smooth ,wood are not like that

[ZrO-1]

Holy crap! that's awesome. LOL look at all that stuff!!! You can tell the woman riding that BoB did all the packing. Women always take more than they need. :D (just kidding ladies).

[SEL]

tnx for the post, I followed a link and came to yours, didnt realize you were so far ahead of everyone else. Great job on the modeling. If I were you, dont stop, do as much modeling as possible to make this thing come alive, and then fine detail it in the end. Looking good!

[iC4]

OMG THIS IS AMAZING

Modelinggod!

ps: She needs an umbrella - in case of rain

[Taoizm]

oh yeah, that's what this challenge is all about. :)

[dmonk]

i like that alot.
No crits because I think your monster kicks ass!
:D

[eugene_fraxby]

GULP!:eek:

a


amazing!

[Clockwork]

I think I'm gonna retire my model. Yours is simply amazing, such detail, - I'm flabbergasted. Fantastic work! :drool:

[hypercube]

More amazing by the hour..love it. I will second the thing about the barrel smoothing tho. Also, not sure what's going on with the strap the BoB is holding, and she's holding on the end..is this an intelligent beast, they work together? is he going to be carrying more stuff under there? Just can't riddle out how that works..

Other than that..keep rockin. :xtreme:

[OrestesMantra]

Wowee Zowee:eek:

[DimitrisLiatsos]

:bounce: :bounce:
Jesus...u are definitely NUTSSSS!!!!
Cool modeling

[sherban]

Great Model. I love the details on him. One of the better models here.

I dare say you've come a long way in the last year. (I still remember some of your early posts ;) ). :thumbsup:

I do however have a problem with his balance.
He looks like he's either gonna pounce or tip over.
It doesn't look like a pose he could kepp for very long.

[toce]

That's some high details!!! welldone.... And you work very fast.....

I like the tail idea :) :buttrock:

[fellipe]

holy ass.....i dont know you anymore...

e pronto, falta-me as palavras, ja q a porra do maxilar caiu no chão.

[InnerVortex]

wow so many replis:) ive to thanks everyone for the motivating words:)
il try to ask to the questions:

hypercube "(containers? fruit?)" it is fruits, not any "known" fruit.. i made that up

gabe, about the barrel.. yes.. i tried to fix it a bit now.

kira "software?" maya4

hypercube "not sure what's going on with the strap the BoB is holding, and she's holding on the end..is this an intelligent beast, they work together? is he going to be carrying more stuff under there? Just can't riddle out how that works.. " they work as a team (this can get a little away from the guidelines but lets think he knows that he haves to do that not by force), notice the pets, little lizards, are totally free there too.. i could put them inside.. but i rather not.

sherban "problem with his balance." yes he is in "starting motion" or in eminence to move, if it doesnt give that idea.. is my bad:/ ill try to bone it and run a very simple animation.. ill try.. but cant promisse it will work.. im not that good at animation.

for everyone else as i said, thank u for the kind workd again.
today didnt worked much on it but theres a new renders:

[espaki]

looks great, one crit is that his nose seems a little more unnatural that the rest of him. just my thoughts - it isnt necessarily "natural" but I feel it could be better

-Nate

[TylerHunter]

Cool stuff man.. I really like all the stuff he is carrying.. Keep up the good work..

Tyler

[thjazi]

good concept and great details !

[alphatron]

Render it with my HDRI test scene!

:)

[derwolpertinger]

just...just.....AMAZING!!!!:eek: :eek: looks like this could be the winner. so for me your work is the best at the moment! for sure! i just love it:love:

[InnerVortex]

:)
thats a render with the alphatron HDRI test scene. subds dont render(just da girl's cloths) ill fix that lather then.. just convert it to polis.
http://cg.no.sapo.pt/fight/bobmr1.jpg
and one i did before with 5 lights to sim gi,a pont a ambient and 3 points with no color and negative shadow, the crappy quallity is becose it tooked alot of time if i put it all smoth raytraced ans stuff, even more than the hdri one, and doesnt look that good
http://cg.no.sapo.pt/fight/bobgis1.jpg

[Icecube]

Grannnndeeeeee trabalho! adorei os detalhes, você dá atenção as partes que eu acho realmente muito importantes, os detalhes....
muito bom mesmo, parabéns amigo!

[alphatron]

Looks really great innervortex, congrats :)

[rok]

In my book this is the winner so far. Excellent modelling skills - good eye for detail and overall a nice idea.

Particularly the alphatron render (whatever that is ) looks amazing.

As this looks like some desert creature to me, I think some surrounding shrubs, bushes, rocks would fit in just perfectly. (just an idea).

At this pace are you gonna texture/animate ???

[AJ]

You do know it's only been a week right...!?!?

I mean - bloody hell! I'd be stunned if this was produced at the end of the challenge :eek:

Truely excellent.

(I think everyone's in going to be in fear on how far you'll take this at the end!) eep!

[visualboo]

I second that AJ :)

InnerVortex..... slow down bud ;) Awsome work though. Keep'em comin :thumbsup:

[InnerVortex]

it was the easy part for me.. the modeling.. and i loved to do it, coulnt stop for 3 days.. now the modeling part is close to done, im tring to rig it for animation, and that will sure take long cose im still learning to rig/animate.. and cant really tell if im goint to be success, just can promise that im trying my best;9 ill think on texturing it.. wel when i finish animation .. or..if dont do any animation at all.. then i might try for a still, anyways is a pleasure just to try:D :bounce:

edit: well.. im doing it fast cose i REALLY dont have nothing more to do, hollydays R0x!! i believe most of u dont have all that free time.

[Clockwork]

Egawd! That beats out half of the meshes I've EVER seen! Just one crit, I can't help but think the beast had a much more enjoyable time carrying all that stuff when the driver was still naked. Just a thought, (Plus it kinda had a "Heavy Metal"isque feel to it...

[wlau]

That's an awesome, awesome piece of work. I don't know how much more you can realistically do to improve that piece of work w/ the remaining time, but I'm sure you'll find ways to amaze. That's simply eye-candy.

Could you perhaps post a wireframe please?

wlau

[rok]

I too get that "heavy metal" mixed with some Bill Fleming creature workshop stuff feeling. Well since it´s neither I´d still have to say that it´s a stunning piece of work.

[InnerVortex]

thanks guys;) ive been working on setuping it for anim. so theres an action pose!! i cant stil promise any animation.. just trying;)
http://cg.no.sapo.pt/fight/fgp1.jpg
and a wire one, with all ik handles and stuff.. can some on help me with it? like tips.. it u see something really wrong with that k?
http://cg.no.sapo.pt/fight/bobwire.jpg

greets

[rok]

Fantastic.

The rigging seems ok to me. I think that you should make the beasts head strecth more out from the body, like it´s really struggling to carry on - make the front legs pull more in the thing it´s holding. Not that there´s anything wrong with the look of it, but I think the beast looks a little bit too relaxed considering the weight of the cargo.

Pretty damn impressive work though, really looking forward to updates and more hdri renderings.

:buttrock:

[Bezerker75]

jesus dude...let the rest of us catch up a bit!!!:wip:
nice work...at this rate you could build a whole empire...lol..looking really great!:thumbsup:

[Clockwork]

Do you have some sort of rigging for the pods on the side, so they sway and knock each other, the mesh is a tad to dense for me to tell... unbelievable work man, I would love to see a short animation, if you have the render time, just a quick walk cycle!

[InnerVortex]

www.cg.no.sapo.pt/fight/bobap.rar
a small test animation, hope server is not too slow, u tell me about it pls.

[espaki]

it asks for a username and password when you try and d/l the animation.

Otherwise, great work so far!!:buttrock:

-Nate

[InnerVortex]

YEAh!! thanks espaki, this dam gay servers
but now im sure it will work, a friend now get me some space on his company server, and it is dam fast, it is for me at least(74kps dl, it is really fast considering that my internet connection s0x), tell me if u can see it now pls.

[OrestesMantra]

Yeah,and I downloaded at 250k/sec:beer:

Spiffy little animation too:applause:

[ZrO-1]

Wow that new server is really fast. I got that baby @ 624KB/s
I like the animation. The blinking eyes is a good deal, and the way you have the woman pet the beast kind of shows the 'teamwork' aspect you mentioned earlier.

[InnerVortex]

hooho fine:)
so theres a close up

[Daxx]

:drool:

[JJ3d]

WOwW! really impresive!
You modeled a lot to things but also I'd like to see more details !
:applause:

[InnerVortex]

now a detail of the back suport for the girl.. that ma favorite thing by the way, and with real hdri.. well.. this time it haves an image:p

[InnerVortex]

another anim test prev, just mainly the legs are animated, so lots of work to do yet
walk >> http://www.cappas-insectozoo.com/anim/walktest.rar

[iC4]

you could add an navel to the rider (seems she has none?)

really like the details

[InnerVortex]

haha!! ops.. forget it:D.. im doing it right now:p.. hehehe
update on the anim prev>>> http://www.cappas-insectozoo.com/anim/walktest.rar

[NGKrush]

wow, that looks nice!
especially the rope :)

when watching it over a few times I noticed the toes not doing much, aybe you could put some more life into that a the rest of the foot moves quit a lot

...and the sacks, but I'm guessing you didn't get up to doing those yet

looking forward to your next test!

[ZrO-1]

grrrr :annoyed: that animation is too good. Now I'm going to have to animate mine :rolleyes: (J/K)

beutiful walk cycle you did. The movement is friggin perfect. And that latest still shot you posted here is really goregeous also. It looks like they are walking off into the rising sun of dawn. :thumbsup:

[Bezerker75]

I was having trouble opening your Rar file it kept saying could not extract proporly...do you think you could give a link directly to the avi? I would love to see this thing animated...

[hypercube]

argh..I couldn't unrar it either..new version? I want to see this thing in action.

[InnerVortex]

thx guys, hypercube dunno whats the problem, try winrar.com is where i got mine.

[Rex]

OH~you guys are fast!nice animation of your girl and walk cycle you did!I am impress!really~really!and your render pics are also great and high quality!!!:thumbsup:

PS Are you using the MAYA render engine?


Check out my Beast of Burden (http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12984&pagenumber=2)

[InnerVortex]

im using a mix, well.. im trying diferent stuff.. faking gi with maya default render and finalgather with mentalray, the pink one, the "action" pose and the blue with a litle orange(HDRI one) are in mentalray, the rest is default maya with pinky skydome.. i even used lights emitiong shadow only to try to sim it, but it was in raytrace and took even more time to render:p

[KnightWhitie]

Nice work, the model looks great!

[InnerVortex]

well.. no more things from me, my disc burned, lost all the works, im pretty f**ed up now.

[pascal_blanche]

no way???

[InnerVortex]

disc = hard drive
it was burned really i think. it did craxed the computer did some wierd noises and stop detecting the hard drive. i send him to fix, but i think the only thing they can do is to put one new, im now in my old pentium 350

[alphatron]

oh no, vortex that is really sad.. is there anyhting i can do ?

[InnerVortex]

thanks dud, not really, ill just work again when i got the new machine. didnt lose nothing that worted money(like paying works) so thats fine... just my personal stuff is almost all damed, just have some backups of older stuff.
i better try hard for another challenge, this is complitly done for me now.

[Minguez]

I guess you know that you can get all your info on the drive back. What happend to you drive was a mecanical faliure. Th original drive will never start again, but there are companies that restore chrashed drives. In you case they would do it by taking the dics out of your old drive and put them in a new drive...it is as easy as that, no magic, but it can´t be done at home.

Expensive tough, I think about 500 to 1000USD

[InnerVortex]

i wish i can do that kind of stuff at home, there is no way ill get that money in a near future;) thanks for the information, i didnt have a clue that this is near to possible.

[fellipe]

esse genero de coisas só acontece com os melhores.... e ta sempre a acontecer contigo, por isso deves ser um dos melhores de certeza....deixa la tar q com o q tu tens ja da pra arrebimbar o malho com uma pinta descomunal... pensa assim: o proximo sempre será o melhor...pq na verdade é mesmo, sempre fazes melhor depois, por melhor q o teu projecto recente esteja, assim n desistes. merda pro pc nojento q é sempre a mesma coisa, agora com a escolinha nova podes lixar os pcs deles com altas animações super pesadas! :D
