this was the first image I drew. It's not mutch

this image is kin of what I am going for of course I've come up with some new ideas since I drew this

My idea is to set it up like an addvertisement for a new product So I am using a smi-realistic approach but farly exaderated.

this is a close up of my new prosthetic leg for amputees

This is an idea for a sport shoe that can be attatched to robotic prosthetic limb.

this is one example that I cam e up with for my addvertisment.

this is another approach that I am going for I was trying to think of a more active approch to the addvertisment. I had forgotten that About my climbing obsession since I moved I have not been able to climb. then it poped into my head and I just started drawing.

this is a new robotic design of coures It may be a little over thje top seeing as it is machine-flech not machine. Am stu=ill working on the climbing idea and am beginning to start modeling.

this is the last concept sketch I am going to post for now. I am working on the modeling part as we speek and will have something up for that soon. I may post another sketch later if I think of something better.

here are some ideas for some scenes for my character

here are some ideas for some scenes for my character

I had a change in scenery and here is some of the lighting tests I did for texturing, lighting and environment elements :)

I decided on this because of a couple of reasons;
1 - It followed more of my idea of how I wanted it to look, a slight futuristic style to it.

2 - And also to lessen those massive render times I was having with the tunnel chase scene I was going to do

so this gets me closer to the look I wanted anyways and it lessesns my renders some :)

here are a few background objects I did for the atmoshere of the scene :)

[OZ]

MH! i like ur thread! i like the way u study a charachter and the world around!cool:cool:

[Nemik]

thankyou very mutch :)
WOW I didn't think I would get any responses :)
thanks I try to understand the subject I am creating as mutch as I can :)

Here are some angles of the sport top I made for my character a while ago... It was supposed to be the character's main article of clothing for the original concept but things have changed a bit now and I modified it for the new look with a few new textures :):)

[Nemik]

Hello all :)
I have applied some of the textures to my Prosthetic limb :)
I have designed the leg with my hydro-Static cinthetic tishue, cinthetic muscles, witch is the blue material that you see, it is made up of a flexible outter shell made from a clear rubber-like metal called (Allorbium) in the core is a statically charged liquid gel that when electric currents are sent from the brain to a fibre cord inserted into the spinal coard charge the gel it makes it contract or expand like your real muscles :) it is also made up of some other ultra-light materials like Ulmenium, Trinellium (a tranparrent metal), Nexanium (strong like steel but lighter than the lightest alluminum), Phlexion and others

The craft that I previously created with it's textures applied :)

[Nemik]

Oops I did it again :)
I keep doing that adding images that are already posted :)
So I gues I'll blab a little bit..
everything seems to be going alright, modeling is pretty well finished and textureing is getting there as well, I amworking on lighting and composition at the moment :)

[Nemik]

Really nice modeling work you got here.
I like cloth elements very much and police
craft seems nicely done!
keep it going! :thumbsup:

[Nemik]

thanks allot:) :)

Here is an update on the character:) I know that I haven't posted mutch about the character, so here is the Uni in pose with her textures applied under some basic lighting :)

I have remodeld the clothing, instead of the sports top and the pants I decided to combine them togeather to make a one piece suit, But I didn't want to not use the textures I worked so hard on so I left the some of the areas of the suit open like the stomache area. Witch I think actually adds to the futuristic look anyways.

I then modeled some boots that were a little more feminine, the other boot was too mutch like a work boot. I still wanted a functional boot that could kick into action if the character was forced to but more stream-lined. So I just slimed the boot down and gave it a slight high heel and textured it in a white leather.

She also has hair but for the sake of test render times I decided not to add it just yet:)

A couple of quickrenders of the scene to see how the textures look under the lighting environment :)

[Nemik]

another image of the scenes lighting environment, a bit of a different angle here it's the same only tighter and more close up than the previous ones :)

[Nemik]

In this image I added a bit of geometry to the holographic projetor, it looked a little funny with it just standing there, it looked kind of funny :)

[Nemik]

http://www.cgnetworks.com/challenge/entries/5/2652/2652_1086683475_medium.jpg (http://www.cgnetworks.com/challenge/entries/5/2652/2652_1086683475_large.jpg)

I decided to bring the camera in closer for a tighter shot so here is my first test render of the new angle with shadow maps applied :)

I also added a hand control module to control the plasma Displacer Gun :) I liked this idea better than the hologram screen, I may or may not add some holograms back in, not sure yet

[Nemik]

http://www.cgnetworks.com/challenge/entries/5/2652/2652_1086686823_medium.jpg (http://www.cgnetworks.com/challenge/entries/5/2652/2652_1086686823_large.jpg)

this is the RGB color maps in the rendered image only

[pseudonympending]

It's looking good, like the see through video screen thing a lot and the character is very good. Looking forward to seeing the final render. :thumbsup:

Ooops! I just realized that I was posting away and I Managed to skip over my original concept sketch of the hanger, so anyway without further adue here it is the long awaited hanger concept

[Nemik]

http://www.cgnetworks.com/challenge/entries/5/2652/2652_1086855417_medium.jpg (http://www.cgnetworks.com/challenge/entries/5/2652/2652_1086855417_large.jpg)

another version of the previous concept sketch also done before but I forgot to post it :)

This is another image of the Background with a bluring filter on so that I can add DOP to my final image because of being unable to render the actual image with DOP on so I will instead use aplhas to composite the blured sections where I want them :)

this is the hover ship that is one of the main attractions in my scene without it, it would seem a bit empty in here :)

[Nemik]

Here is my character posed and rendered ready to be composited :) I added the background plate into the scene as a BG image so that during rendering it would blend the pixels some into the background allowing a more seemless compostie when I put the two actual renders togeather :)

[Nemik]

well its comming along here are the layers composited togeather :) I still have to render and composite the FXs and some other atmosheric things :)

[Nemik]

here the hair has been composited onto my character Uni :)

I have added the sparks from the plasma welder to the scene :)

[Nemik]

here is a second render pass of hyper-voxel sparks that have been added to the scene there just weren't enouph so I rendered another set also added some intense glow this time :)

[Nemik]

http://www.cgnetworks.com/challenge/entries/5/2652/2652_1087427397_medium.jpg (http://www.cgnetworks.com/challenge/entries/5/2652/2652_1087427397_large.jpg)

In this one the glow has been added to Unikaiwa's Prothstetics, since I was having trouble getting the glow to render while the scene was rendering I rendered the glow effects in a seperate scene and then composited them over the character in Post :)

[Nemik]

here I added some atmosphereic effects to the scene to give the air a thickness to it add to the overall mood :)

My Final image :)
First off I am happy with my image and how it turned out.

As for did I complete my goal?
I believe Yes, I did...
I no doubt came far from my original concept but still got the end results that I was looking for and my ideas evolved from one step to the next gradually changing, for the better I think, moving toward my final image here :)
I was a little disappointed that I was unable to reach the resolution size for the project, because of my machine not cooperating with me, none the less that did not stop me from achieving my goal of finishing this project and sure was not going to give up no matter what happened :)

All in all I am happy with my results and can't wait to start on my next project :)
Hope that all of you enjoyed watching the progress of my entry
Thanks to all for your input :)
