Twisted Extreme Sports - character/envoirment - Kalasfixaren

[Kalasfixaren]

Thx for the warm welcome virtousa :)

Started making the envoirment, haven't done anything advanced yet... The house to the right is pretty temporary but it gives you an idea of how it will be in the end. Added 2 villagers, there will be alot more of them, women, kids with slingshots , chinese tourists taking pictures. There will also be people hanging out of the windows of the visible houses. And as you can see one of the villager is holding a sign, there will be alot of them later. The signs will say weird stuff like "Down with testicel taxes" ;) Well crazy rules that has made the villagers to do this with their king
Enough talking here's the picture!:beer:
hmmm.... just noticed how blurry the texture of that platform is, I'll fix that... Tell me what you think of it sofar! :)
edit: Changed platform texture to regular colour

[Kalasfixaren]

Ok, lack of replies :( I'll keep going anyway cause I'm having lots of fun with this :D
Added som clutterness to it all, and some more of those loveable temporary houses ;) I also made the ball bigger for extra pleasure :p
C'mon be nice, give me a reply :)

[haim]

some rules .....
good idea any way keep update .

(ohh - iam new too in case u didnt understand...)

:wip: :wip: :wip:

[Kalasfixaren]

Yeah the new ones always break one or two rules :D
Anyway, I've decided to restart on this challenge and make a new one, I know what I'm going to make... I don't know if I should say it or not. :p
I can't hold it :) It's a parody of that sport when you ski a few kilometers and then lay down and shoot at some targets and ski some more then shoot some more: :) First I was going with swimming and strangling people but then I changed my mind to something else :)
You'll see what happens
Sry no pictures yet

[haim]

oky doky ....
good luck with your new idea ...
i decaide not to restart but improve (or try to .....)
take a look at it ....

(i dont have the link so just go :) )

[Satyricon]

Hello buddy!!!:wavey: Very funny little people you got there!!!:beer: Looks very nice allready and I hope to see more updates!!! Keep on rolling:buttrock:

[Kalasfixaren]

Thx for the encouraging words :)
Well I've moved on from those characters. Now I've got my friend into this. The two of us will work on this one. Ok, so the sport will involve running and meaninless violence :p
I've made a body for one of the runners which I will post now.
The other runner which I will not post now will be a crazy french painter :D
We're going to go with unsmoothed models, almost lowpoly, bright colours and stuff.
Sounds like a good idea to you? :)

[Kalasfixaren]

Ok, guess that picture wasn't much to reply at ;)
I've done the basic shape of the track that they will run on.
The usual punishment for not making it past a obstacle will be falling on spikes or getting hit by an iron bar in the face ;)
Anyway here's the basic shape:
PS.Sorry for the bad lighting :D

[Kalasfixaren]

hmmm... Here's another one, maybe the lighting is better here

[Kalasfixaren]

Here's an update. Be nice, reply :)
Textures done by my friend :) He says it's just a test texture, I think it looks cool now :) What do you think? :)

[MikaelPersson]

lol. You remind me of those old Deluxe Paint animations we did. Of exactly the same thing (almost). Except that there were no running only one big brutal killing machine.

Hope to see animation!

[Kalasfixaren]

Thx for replying
There will be a animation and it will be brutal
I've just noticed that my friend has rendered the track upside down :D Now that's clumpsy :)
About brutalness... I was thinking of adding... No, I won't tell that would kinda ruin some of the humor in the end :p
I'll post the track with the right side up later tonight.
Again, thx for replying.
Oh by the way, here's an extremely early start on one of the characters, he's just a crazy fool with a gasmask :) this is about 10 minutes of work though just want to lay up some early pictures so in the end I can look here and see the progress :)

[haim]

runnig track ? gas mask ? ohh my god ......
u remind me my army service !! its must be brutal :D

[Kalasfixaren]

Haha :) Well I hope you didn't have to do what this guy have to do :p
Here's a few pictures... The bodyt is just the basic body I will make some armor on him and stuff later...
Ah here's some more pictures...

[Kalasfixaren]

And a wireframe...
Not much to comment is it? ;)
oh yeah, the head isn't finished yet....

[Kalasfixaren]

Here's the right side of the track :D
I'll probably post an update on that character later.
Remember, the texture on track is just a "test" as my friend says :D

[Kalasfixaren]

ok, please comment :)

[Kalasfixaren]

Here's two smileys to congratulate me and my friend for our first finshed character ever :beer:

Ok, this character is finished, any comments?

[Kalasfixaren]

Is it really that bad that I can't get a comment?
Evil :(

[MikaelPersson]

:) yes?
Seriously though you need to tweak him some. For a start twist those hands so his thumbs are pointing the right direction.
Then please get rid of the green gas-mask texture. Make it a nice military green instead.

I think it´s the face that is putting me off. The rest of the body has some appeal. Maybe work some more on his mask. Make his glasses much larger so you can see the face underneath. Make the breathing mechanism only cover the nose and mouth. Maybe turn the actual cylinder into metal.

Here is a quick illustration of what I mean:

[Kalasfixaren]

Thaaaaaaank you! :)
That was a great ide. All I have to do is to convince my lazy friend to remake the mask :D I guess a punch or two in the face will do the job ;) Just kidding :p
Thx alot for replying and for taking your time to make that picture! :)

And about those hands, that's actually the back of his hand he's showing so I think the thumb is right

[erilaz]

A curious design! I like! Rayman-like, but more violent looking!:D

[Kalasfixaren]

Hi erilaz!
Thank you for replying :) Curios design... Yeah you could say that ;)
I don't have any updates to show yet, I've finished the modeling of the second character, that gasmasks guys opponent. I won't post it though, it needs it's textures to look good ;) And right now there are no textures.
Oh and Mikael P my friend has started fixing the mask like you've drawn it :)
Right now I'm figuring out some punishment for the one who fails to make it past an obstacle, I'm thinking of something fat falling down from the sky or something :) There are to places where it is possible to fall into a hole in the track, I'm thinking of making a door in the hole where something horrible comes out and punishes the guy who's been trapped
Haven't figured out what that will punish them yet... any ideas? Cause I'm out of those

[MikaelPersson]

I would sugest mechanical devices all the way. Stompers, grinders, revolving cogs, spikes and the sort. They are a lot easier to model/animate and make convincing than creating monsters.

[haim]

whay all your models are in low poly ?
( just wonder ....)

[Kalasfixaren]

The skinner/animator wanted them low poly, and I did too :)
I like the edgy feel to it :)
But it basically builds on that the animator is lazy ;)

[Hysteria]

I think this is the first contest ever done in Wings 3d - Congratz :D

[Kalasfixaren]

Thx hysteria :)
How did you know I used wings? I've been looking over my posts in this thread, I can't find myself saying anywhere that I'm using wings anywhere! You're good ;)
Maybe but just maybe there will be updates by tonight. Not sure there might be some minor technical problems ;)

[Kalasfixaren]

I have a question: Would I break any rules if I made a new thread with yet another submition.
I'd really like to work alone on a project too. If I'd work alone I don't need to wait all the time for my friend to finish things. I will still work on this one though.
I just have a fun idea I want to share with you all :)
So is there any rules stopping me?
I have read some rules but I won't do anything without asking :)

[Kalasfixaren]

sry for this post

[Kalasfixaren]

never mind...

[Hysteria]

I knew it was wings because i like to play around with it :) I make mostly abstract stuff like this :
