:beer: Thanks every one.
I had planed to work on my model and character today but I have to make some things in Autcad first for a little building ( but autocad doesn'T work and I'm with ??????:annoyed: )
So hopefully I get it fixed soon so ican work on my moddel.

Mikael P.: Well I invented it mysef no reference ships or some.
I used some parralel thinking like I first had a character then I thouht a surf board would fit him, well since it is up in the air and the guy has magic why not a sail then I thought of a RAINBOW ship ( simmilar to a dragon ship) and other stuff like when I was 12 I went with my grandma to Paris and we went to a excebition of a famous artist ( forgot name ) who made things with cables or metal and put some weight on it so t was ballansed and he hung it on the celing.
etc etc.

Virtuoso: I really would liek to see your entry. Or did you already entered? well I didn't see you but I'll check ya out

By for now and I hope to have some updates in the eaving

im really like your design. Do you have a character?:shrug: that thing will look awesome with someone on it:p :bounce:

MikaelPersson

08-08-2002, 10:05 AM

that would be great

I will put it in other words. Are you going to use some of that artists thinking in your design. Lots of wires, balanced gracefully with weights.

Iguiniz.X.

08-08-2002, 08:10 PM

well first to start off with the pics I found in my mohers bookshelf of the artist. I liked so manny pics that it was hard to choose which I would scan well you have to d it with this cos if not I would fill my whole threath with images of his art.
And the name is CALDER well enjoy...and especially Mikael.P.

Elf: It will have a character but I will make him later but he is a fun looking guy, no pics still wandering in my crazy mind telling me what to do with his boat.

This looks just like the surf board thing off of the new Treasure Planet movie from Disney, just before anyone says anything, I am not accusing you of anything - just had to say that. Anyway, I really like it.

Treasure Planet (http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/treasureplanet/flash.html)

Just watch the trailer to see the surfboard :)

MikaelPersson

08-08-2002, 11:17 PM

Thank you for sharing those images. I think you should aim for something a little more graceful. Now it looks to much like a boat. Make it larger and more slender.
But you got the curves absolutely right.

Iguiniz.X.

08-09-2002, 01:11 AM

Mikael P.
No prob man, I hope you liked them.
well to be clear it is a boat i canceled the surfboard cos it doesn't fit then the boat doesn't have a cabin so it stays flat.

Blake Kehler
Never heard of that disney, well sorry my connection is far to slow for dl a trailer so thanks anyway, You don't got a pic of it?

Serull....Thanks man. well it just is a shape nothing detail got a bit stuck with crosssection but now I fixed it.

To all:
the skin of the boa will be similar as that of a fish then it will get a wooden top deck and well tomorow a other day to work on it.
thnks for the feedback

Iguiniz.X.

08-09-2002, 11:02 AM

>>>>>>well I've been modeling the rough shapes some more still some objects to make and then I go to the detailed part.
well enjoy

08-09-2002, 11:07 AM

2nd and last for today
in the weekend I'll be doing other stuff so no modeling hten.

MikaelPersson

08-09-2002, 11:08 AM

oh! :applause: Your lines has such a nice flow.
Have you thought about making it slightly longer? Will probably lend it more sense of speed.

Iguiniz.X.

08-09-2002, 11:15 AM

Mikael P. : well I think I try it cos I thin kyour right but then it will be shown nextr update I'll post a side viuew of before and after.
Ihad some dificulties updating my 2nd pic so I thin k you missed it

:wavey:

Iguiniz.X.

08-10-2002, 09:12 PM

Well here I made a chance as Mikael sudgested. I made the rear longer then it was, well I don't have the idea which is best.
Well what do you think.:curious:

MikaelPersson

08-10-2002, 11:56 PM

lol. The shorter one looks best. But if you were to enlarge the sail on the longer version. I think I would go for that one.

Iguiniz.X.

08-11-2002, 12:43 PM

Mkael P.
well yes I think I also would go for the shorter version. well one thing abouth the longerversion which I like is that the part behind the cabin is longer so I think I play some more with that. And maybe teh point were the boat reaches his tickest aprt has t o be moved backwards. well tomorrow I got time to try and play some more.

Elf

08-11-2002, 09:06 PM

looking good, i think it might look better with a longer board, i actually like the long sail, it makes it more unique, makes "your" surfboard

Iguiniz.X.

08-13-2002, 10:56 PM

Yo ELF:
I don't wanna make you feel stupid (well or myself )
but I understood nothing of what you were saying.
Well start offThe picture with the 6 boats ar differenet cos he riht one has a longer board.
, i think it might look better with a longer board so this answers this question.
makes "your" surfboard
make sit more mine, you mean my design not a casuak board?
well I hoep I don't sound to harsh cos I hink I might., hope you son't get tis wrong.
then tomorrow I update I didn't have time the past days but a update must be there.
:beer:

Elf

08-13-2002, 11:07 PM

its ok, i just read over my post after i read what you said, and your right, i didnt understand a word of it either:p , i was rushed when i wrote it:blush: , what i meant by "your" surfboard was that it made it more unique, not like a regular surf/windsurf board, now im going to go look at the pictures since i now know what the difference was, ok now i see the difference, i like the one on the right, the longer one, and i think the one on the right seems to have a sail more proportional with board according to the sketches, i know that sounds fuzzy tell me if i messed up again:p

08-14-2002, 10:03 AM

Elf Htnka man yes I thought youment that but for the same I could have been wrong.
and it is O.K.

Well since I maybe join a student club I might not have all the time in the world to finish my challenge that is why I have a second easy consept but also fu =n I think.
well enjoy the consept and I think I can moddel this one in a day.

Iguiniz.X.

08-14-2002, 01:13 PM

I updated then I wnated to check if there were replies and I couldn't exces the page and now I check and my updates are gone???

Well I pos them again but I see a similar thing happend at (...) threath.

K

I added the skin as fas as I got I made them 1 by 1 and positioned them 1 by 1. thsi si got I could not find a way to get tehm right with aray and spacing tools. Someone knows a other way? or beter?
Then I added the steering blade and chanced th e steer. some more stuff .........

You could try placing them on a flat plain and use "free form deformations" to bend them into position.
Just might work

Iguiniz.X.

08-16-2002, 08:08 PM

Clanger:
I must say that that is a excelent idea Clanger.
Simple and fast. I still consider myself as a beginner max but I know ( don't know how to do it) that with UVW maping you know texturing faces and stuff you can unfold them to a flat object. I meight lern it form the texturing for dummies by leigh )
then I can make the skin flat in the shape of the unfolded skin and then use your trick.
this might do the trick don't you think?
thanks for the good advise:thumbsup:

If you want a really good tutorial that covers modelling but also mapping (UVW maps and stuff), you should go and see this one:

In french: http://mr2k.3dvf.com/tutorials/max/tutorials_joan.htm
In english: http://www.3dtotal.com/ffa/tutorials/max/joanofarc/joanmenu.asp

Hope this helps!

For a second time I won't be able to finish a challenge before the deadline. Man I whish I had a PC in my own room in the city were I study, but I don't.I went to a 2 week lasting introduction camp of a student comunity ( or how it is called in english). this is why I couldn't work on it.
I'll finish this one aswell as the last one before I start a new challenge. good luck for the people who will finish it and I must say that there is already promising work here. :applause: :buttrock:

welll by for now.

Xavier:wavey:
