PA Challenge - Character - Hmura

[parallax]

one of the best ones i've seen so far, IMO
very nice concept. I especially like the earring-decoration thingy :)
gives your character history

[fellah]

I love this sketch, and as parallax mentioned, yea, the earingDecoration is just perfect! start the modelling process, now! :D

[Bluemilk]

Akk yeah, really like this one, wot you got planned for down below?

[cerreto]

same here this is a cool concept

[Hmura]

:)

[Martin-K-]

love the drawing, i second the like for the earring decoration, good stuff ( and love the tubes )

[Error323]

COol!! but i wonder what quind of program u use???

[JacobB]

this is only a suggestion, but I think it would be cool if the ornaments on his mask were like old fishing lures or something, giving that trampy scavenger feel.. excellent design:)

[Hmura]

Thanx for the replies again,
Im at work at the moment, hopefully a couple of updates later today....

Error323 = The program im using is Wings 3D, it is a freeware program... you can get it at http://www.wings3d.com
I decided to use it for this challenge to test the program :)

>>H<<

[CerberusC]

good start i think, what's the program you will use for render?

[Hmura]

I dont know about the rendering yet, still thinking :)


>>H<<

[jrockstar]

I cant wait to see future updates ...

[Hmura]

[Hmura]

Test rendering :) The quality of the pics is low, to allow low file size... :)

Hmmm... It seems no one likes the new design...

I think you are right there. I was really diggin' the dark character you had before. He had a very malevolent look about him. Your new model looks like a P.A. version of Vivi from Final Fantasy 9.

[Hmura]

Well there is a slight resemblance, only slight and i wasn't planning on it...

Well the reason I changed my entry is because Im still a begginner in 3D and to model the other guy would take longer than what the deadline date is.... so I came up with another sketch (Ill post it later) and used it loosely to start the new model....

Okay ppl I have made some changes to the model, tell me what you think of it now :)

Hi
Piz

[Hmura]

Thanx for the reply Piz. :D

Ok ppl, I have found a little time in which to finish my model, its almost done, Just rendering as we speak, Im 0ff to work now, when I get back I post it up... I don't think I will have time to texture te model, as I still need to finish off the weapon.
Should I go on with the one I drew, or maybe something else, any Ideas what would suit him.... ?


Hmura

[CerberusC]

Yeah, i'm with piz, it's very funny, i want to see in an animation :] (i'm an animator...u know...i love to see the characters in motion) :]

[Hmura]

Thanx CereberusC for the comments :)

Here is the render of the 'finished' character, I might still add some small details, but the next thing on the list is the weapon....
As I said before I will not have time to texture it :(

[pascal_blanche]

I'm glad to have cowardly abandonned this challenge.. :D :D man... only good designs on this one! I really like the style of this guy!!

[Hmura]

Thanx for the reply pascal, too bd you missed out, would have loved to see that chick in 3d :)

[Piz]

Hi

;)

[Hmura]

Piz, I don't think I will have time to do texturing, I just returned home from a wedding I went to , and I still have to finish off the weapon ahhhhhh :(
Im at work now as well... looks like no sleep for me tonight again he he

Hmura

[Cgkoko]

Hey! he looks funy,in a good way.I like him!Iwould realy like to try wings 3d.Is it free?If that's the case where can i download it?
Snif!:( .No textures?

[Hmura]

Thanx Cgkoko for your reply,
yeah wings is free go to http://www.wings3d.com
unfotunately no textures :(

Hmura

[fellah]

sorry I have missed to comment this GREAT model during the challenge but I haven't seen it among all the others. and, I will surely not miss you in the next challenge you'll enter, not now that I have seen what you can do!

you don't have to texture this guy, it looks great as it is imho. sometimes a simple GI render can look much better than an "fast textured" model.

it shouldn't be a bad thing to add some details to the feet (and some more places) and maybe take away some sharp edges though.

overall great modeling and coooool design!

[Hmura]

fellah, thanx for the comments, i will hopefully finish the weapon in time, i keep changing it :), maybe i will add some more details...

here is a Landscape test i did :

[Totitch]

Hey HMURA!!! Your character is really good!
I like the design a lot!
But why don't you work on it,to finish it in time!
It will be fun to see him textured and more detailed...

Your landscape is really good anyway!
What a texture! Great! :D

Finish your character...It's an order!!! ;) :D :D :D

[Hmura]

Totitch, thanks for the comments but, alas, the time is slipping away :)

Hmura

[The Librarian]

OookOook!
Eeek.

[tAstyBITs]

I like.

[pabbloz]

very good design and style Hmura!
I haven't seen your model before and it was a pity, it's very nice!

add more colors please! ;)

[Hmura]

Pabbloz, thanx for the reply m8

Heres the new test render :)

The scene is in a environment where the sun is 50 times stronger than what it is now, therefore the suns strenght really is much higher..

I really think the dry cracked ground looks better in this render.

I have also added some fog... its really toxic due to the nuclear falloff, so as it provides some protection from the sun it is at the same time deadly :)

I have included a tree which is glowing, due to toxication of the soil and the atmosphere... Its only a simple render as the high quality one would have taken too long :)

Notice the weapon, yes its a staff :)

-----------------------------------
Okay I had some pretty good comments from ppl over at the ( http://pub33.ezboard.com/fnendowingsmiraifrm17 ) Wings forum.

Im trying to make the shadow softer or better yet, make it gradually soften, is there a way to do this in lightwave, and I would also like to make the ground "shimmer" the way it does when its really hot... any ideas ?

p.s. Does the tree affect the viewers attnetion of the scene?
