Master and Servant 3D Entry: Michael Wilson

[miketche]

Well, here I am. Not sure what I'm going to do yet. Still working on some ideas. Will post some sketches and a simple story soon.

[jddog]

Heila Mike... subscribed at your thread... i wish you good luck !!! and waiting for your ideas...

Ok, first sketch. Not sure I even want to go with this idea. It seems to be stuck in my head. I'll kick it around a little more. If I do, I'll follow it up soon with a story.

[DaddyMack]

Hi miketche, the big guy looks like he'd make for a great model..will be interested in seeing where you go
Good luck

[Daoine]

Hey Miketche, can't wait to see the hulking giant in 3d. Good luck!

Daoine

[mr wonky]

I'll be interested to see where this goes. It has many possibilities.

[miketche]

Well, I can't seem to come up with the Mind Blowing concept I've been searching for. So I guess I'll just work with what I have. Hopfully do a nice looking and interesting image.

The Story:

The Giagantas and Humans have co-existed peacefully for hundreds of years. The Giagantas have always lived in the hills and mountains while the humans lived in the valleys. The Giagantas are a primative yet peaceful race always trying to be in harmony with nature and the other races that surround them, while the humans, with their slightly more advance technology, have constantly been at war amongst themselves.
The humans have often used the Giagantas to perform difficult manual labor which they have done willingly. Yet for a long time the treatment of the Giagantas by the humans has begun to be increasingly more cruel, and more and more often the humans have refused to release a Giaganta once it has been in servitude. The Giagantas have never really had the will to resist the humans because of their peaceful nature and fear of the humans more advanced technology and ability to cause pain.
...but you can only push a race so far before the will and desire to revolt comes to bare.

Begining the Modeling of the Giaganta.

[Daoine]

Looks good so far. Seems you've abandoned the heavy upperbody/small waist that we see in your concept sketch. If I may, I kind of liked the primitive, apelike appeal of the sketch giaganta. Made him look more ape-like. May be just me though. I have this picture in my head from League of Extraordinary Gentlemen of Hyde with less of his "steroids". The modeling looks solid though.

Keep it up, it's looking good,

Daoine

[pixeltroll2005]

I like your concept! In your concept sketch you show the Gigantan doing his servently duties. In your explanation of the concept you hinted at the Gigantan "turning" on its human master. Have you thought more about what you want in the final design? Are you going to have a scene full of these creatures doing the servantly duties, or all of them revolting against their human masters, maybe a mixture of both? I'll be keeping an eye on your entry. Good Luck!

[overcontrast]

hey nice concept man... and good start with the modleing...keep up the good works... c ya aroud

[miketche]

Daoine - Thanks. My concept sketch was just a base idea. I develop things more as I build them in 3D. I like the idea of a larger body for the Giaganta.

pixeltroll2005 - The idea of the revolt will be protrayed in more the facial expressions of the characters. Subtle. The very beginings.

overcontrast - Thanks.


I'll post a modeling update soon.

An updated modeling view. What's your take on this guy?

[jddog]

:surprised heee I'm subribe to your thread but I didn't recieve any notification of posts... ?

Anyway, original idea and the firt wip that I see here are really promising. :applause:

jdd

[mmoir]

Hey Michael,
Nice to see you here again, I like your idea and story line. Good luck with the challenge

[soapy]

He is growing on me as I look at him. But I think he could use a little more definition to sperate out the muscles and limbs. Right now he just feels a little doughy.

[TheFirstAngel]

Hi Mike, just came to subsscribe and wish you good luck and much fun.

Story sounds very nice, Like the Giganta you create, but i have to say, i'd like to see a bit more of the giganta part of your world you create. i could see a supressed, shamanic civilisation of peacfull giants that offer many many possebileties, i like your story very much and i think the rishka showes not a slight bit of the potential your story offers, imho.

Keep on goin, looking forward to what you make of it.

Well, I've had a lot of time today so I textured my big guy.

[Kid-Mesh]

Very stylized and tribal..I like it. Keep it up :thumbsup:

[Neeno]

i agree with kidmesh very tribal the texture scheme suits the character alot... Very nice dude keep it up...

[miketche]

So many replies I didn't see before I posted. Thanks all.

Jddog - glad you're stoping by. Don't know why you haven't got any emails. I've gotton a few from yours. thanks

mmoir - Thanks for stoping by. I'll check you thread also soon.

soapy - I know. Most of my character have that doughy look to them. Not sure why. It's how I model I guess.

the1st_angel - I know, the rishka idea is pretty week. After reading you post I think I might be coming up with some new ideas. I'll work on them.

Kid Mesh - Thanks for stoping by. Yes they are very tribal. Very close to the origianl idea I had in my head.

Neeno - Thanks. I'll check your thread as well soon.

[jddog]

Michael... :buttrock: excellent progress...

If I can do a comment... I don't like so much the lips of your giant... there aren't enough expressive If I see the eye expression (the direction that you gave at them)... Just a comment... knowing that you have to pose it eventually you will rig the face and mouth too...
:wip:

ps: this time I recieved the mails...

Here is the Giaganta modeled, textured and fully rigged. (Still need to fix a few small problem areas).

Now on the human. Wish me luck. I suck at modeling humans.

[ODoul]

Good luck. I'll be watching.

[altebanger]

excellent figure so far! I hear ya on modeling humans I'm on my 3rd head and the more I tweak the worse I get.;) Things like this are great practice for getting it right though.

Can't wait to see where we all go with these.

[jddog]

yeah ! :applause:

and good luck !

Here is the beginings of the human. I'm afraid to do the head.

[handlebar]

Great start, and thanks for helping get my posts up and runnin' through the proper channels.

[Kaptain Kubrick]

Yeah -- heads can be difficult- but - we all need em! -- good start - I'll keep an eye out.

[mr wonky]

Looking good. And I thought it was only us newbies that had trouble with heads !

great work Michael :thumbsup:

Ok, I'm almost embarassed to show this. I know, it's horrid. My only consolation is, in the composition I have in mind, you'll only see the back and maybe side of his head. That is why I am purposfully keeping the face simple.

[Sifer]

Hello Miketche,

You have a solid start, and a great story for its foundation. I'll be stopping by and paying my respects from time to time. Best of luck and keep up the good work.

[pseudonympending]

Don't be too hard on yourself, it's a solid model. The only thing I noticed is that he still looks a bit square both in the head and body...

[mmoir]

Hey Michael,
It is looking good, just keep pushing and pulling those vertices until you are happy . Maybe try and find some good wire meshes of human models and study them , then model then look again at the wire mesh, then model some more. Good luck with this.

Simple texturing for the human.

He doesn't have eyes, because you'll only see the back of his head.

[miketche]

Sifer - Thanks for stoping by.

Swamps - Thanks for the encouragment. I've never really done much realistic human modeling before. It's tough.

mmoir - Good advice. Something I'll have to look into. Thanks

Here is a texturing update for the human.

[DaddyMack]

Hi miketche, you're cracking along here mate, great progress!
The puffs at the end of his sleeves look a bit random compared to the sort of clothing you've made, I think they would really benefit from some pleats, or maybe a bit of 'gravity' so they don't hold 'up' as much.
Keep it coming;)

[debaser]

hello, i like this. the style is great!
keep it up

Ok, I just want to assure everyone that I will NOT be using this pose in the final composition. Just testing out his rig.

Michael,
Nice job on the figures, the human character came out great.

[TheFirstAngel]

Ok, I just want to assure everyone that I will NOT be using this pose in the final composition. hahaha, ok, so far got you. singin: "i believe i can touch the skyyyyyyyyyyyy...." great characters you're coming up with... and damn, rigging already done... i better hurry up with mine :)
sidenote: keep it up mate! uhm, the characters somehow look ... russian?

[miketche]

keep it up mate! uhm, the characters somehow look ... russian?

Interesting. I hadn't noticed that till now. I thought I was mixing a few different cultures. Argentinean Goucho, Greek, Mayan, with a little bit of Miscellaneous flare thrown in.


mmoir and jddog - Thanks for the support. It's tough doing humans. I like big monsters, aliens and robots. You can pretty much do whatever you want.

[soapy]

I don't like the looks of that master, I hope the servant wakes up and kicks his @*&. ;-) Looking good Mike. The 'Sound of Music' pose is crackin me up.

[ODoul]

You do great poses. I've always thought that was difficult. Lookin good so far.

[Climax]

• Great Work in here Michael ! Seems u are already done with your main characters, great modelling! :thumbsup:

[jddog]

I like big monsters, aliens and robots. You can pretty much do whatever you want.

Yeah I'm agree... for a next contest I will keep on only if we can do monsters and no more humans... haha...

The model of the Cart.

I'll be using it a bit differently than what appears in my firt sketch. It'll be banged up and laying on the ground.

[arLutiK]

Very,very nice. Reall like thos little lamps on the side. Great work :thumbsup:

[altebanger]

Superb job on textures this is coming along quite nicely. Ditto on the lamps comment.

Fine modeling, and the textures are great, looking forward to the next instalment. http://www.cgtalk.com/images/icons/icon7.gifhttp://www.cgtalk.com/images/icons/icon13.gif

Here is compostion test. Any suggestions?

[Virtuoso]

It's coming along Michael....As for a suggestion........I would give a more angles or perspective to this shot.....show at least the side of the face of the man...Rotae the ngle a bit in this way......Still giving you what you have now but allowing for more vision of all your characters and expressions.....Ok..keep it coming....you are going at warp speed......:arteest:

Thanks for the suggestions. Here is an updated Composition.

[TheFirstAngel]

Hey Mike, great progress!
maybe use a bit a wider fov, to get more of the "suck effect" also in a later stage, motionblur could help it :) the kart looks absolutely awesome. the human hair in close up could maybe use a bit refinement in the textures, if you keep that angle, you might also play around mabe with some layered hair?
keep it up mate, keep on rockin'!:buttrock: :thumbsup: :wip:

Here is the Environment. Still a WIP, but I like where it's going.

[Versiden]

great work so far, I especially like the giganta monster guy, and your cart looks very good.

my thoughts agree with the1st_angel on the hair. It should also fall naturally and towards gravity.

Maybe also show the side of the man's face so we can see his expression? just a suggestion

keep it going, hope I helped a bit

[miketche]

Thanks the1st_angel and Versiden for the critique and comments. Still working on things. Will try to improve the guys hair. I'm afraid that's as much of the guys face we'll see. He looks just horrible. I'll be using a bit of DOF to help hide how bad he looks. LOL. I'm hoping his body language will tell the tale.

[soapy]

Nice work, I like the fire and the chain motion. Looking forward to see how it plays in the environment.

This is how I set up the Environment.

[soapy]

That seems like a pretty smart and easy way to do the background. How are you going to handle the lighting?

[miketche]

Soapy - Well for lighting, I was thinking of using some sort of dome light set up with a strong backlight and low redish front light from the fire. We'll see how it looks when I get to that stage. Pretty soon now.

[shakes]

oops ..seemed to have missed this one! looks great so far miketche- really enjoyed watching that giaganta take shape. Your environment looks good so far too.

[handlebar]

Things are looking great, i like the background a lot, very atmospheric. Can't wait to see it all put together.http://www.cgtalk.com/images/icons/icon7.gifhttp://www.cgtalk.com/images/icons/icon13.gif

[jddog]

I really like how your work come out :thumbsup: excellent mood on the background... eventually more sharpiness/bump on montains are to do... still a good plan for the composition, congrats

Great job so far, can't wait to see how it ends up.

Hey, Cpt. Jack! Fun to see you around here. Thanks for stoping by. :D

I really like images with good DOF effects. Cinema 4D has a really good DOF option in its separate "Advanced Render" module, but unfortunatly I only have the Core, so built in DOF is not an option for me.

I plan on faking it by rendering the image in layers. By rendering the background then bluring it just right in photoshop, I can place it as a background object then render the foreground. Walla, nice DOF.

[altebanger]

Cool almost done. It's been fun watching this progress. Too bad you don't have ARM it's so cool ;) All hail Cinema 4D!! lol

[miketche]

altebanger - Yes, I know. I just couldn't afford to swing the cash. Advanced Render, Sketch and Toon, and Mocca are three that top my list. But this DOF trick is something I've been using for a while.

[Cartesius]

Looking very good so far, Mike! Another trick you can use for adding DOF is to use the Lenscare plugin in Photoshop (or AfterEffects). It's very easy to use and produces stunning result.

[miketche]

Anders - Thanks for that. I'll check it out. :thumbsup:

[alex.h.]

good work and i have to try that dof in c4d when i come to (texture and render).
see you and :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Here is my light set up.

Coming down the home stretch. Just the Final render and then some tweeking left.

[DaddyMack]

Hi miketche, this is looking wicked man! I think that the background might benefit from a slight reworking, now that the foreground has so much strength, tuning your background will really help it to leap out!
Good luck:thumbsup:

[Dutchman]

Really cool stuff! From that last milestone, I especially like that keylight-lighting! Looks pretty realistic over there :)

Maybe you should tweak the shader(s) of the character in the foreground some more: he looks a bit to 'unreal-shaded' :shrug::hmm:

Good luck in every case! :) & CU later :)

[miketche]

Ok, I really wasn't feeling it with my first composition idea, so I've totally reworked it. Same characters, same situation - just new setup. I'll need to really work with the background some.

What do you think? Any ideas?

[Neeno]

hey man.. this is alot better more feel of a master servant relationship here.. better compistion.. see what other crits and comments you get and go from there.. but its looking great

[overcontrast]

hey thats looking really good man.. btw i like the first composition... the last one is not that scarry.. if u wanna go that way tho... anwyas keep up the good works :thumbsup:

[Adriano-Zanetti]

I think it looks a bit bit like my set up hehe... but I don't own it though... so I'd say it's a good set up ! :)

good luck !

pe@ce

[jddog]

Ok the new comp is really excellent (and the ground texture rocks really :applause: ) but if you change the comp, why not try to put your both figure on a position where is possible to view teir from front, like if it was grab from the back...

I will check closely what you will do ! :wip:
jdd

[stoat]

Yeah, I'd like to see the sudden fear in the master's face. Great work though :thumbsup:

[Kraull]

I prefer the previous comp with the woman falling and the ogre in the background. This composition was placing us in a situation in which we were right in the action. Now it feels more like a screenshot from a video game, IMO. Like jdd have suggested, it may be cool to see the girl face by changing her position. Maybe she could run from this monster and he's grabbing her hair backward. Anyway, that's jsut suggestion. This is a really great piece!! :)

[miketche]

What a lot of opinions and suggestions. Thanks All!

I still think I want to only show the back of the human, (he's a man by the way. Wow, my modeling must really be bad if he looks like a woman. LOL).

I just wasn't feeling anything with the first comp. This one seems to have more meaning for me. I'll still be working on it.

Just some rocks for the background. Done in Vue and imported into Cinema 4D.

[shakes]

the lighting and everything looks really good miketche..and that vue looks like a handy tool-keep it up!

Here is the lighting for the new Composition.

[Maxko]

Nice lightning, nice shadows.. :)

[soapy]

Damn, a whole new scene! Maybe you should just go ahead and animate the whole fight scene. Nice work. I am not sure which of the two I like the best at the moment.

[altebanger]

This new angle makes the whole scene look small and the sevant not as powerful as the last angle plus there was more emotion in the last angle but good light setup.

[miketche]

http://www.cgnetworks.com/challenge/entries/9/6156/6156_1113796147_medium.jpg (http://www.cgnetworks.com/challenge/entries/9/6156/6156_1113796147_large.jpg)

Here is the final untouched-up rendering. I'll be doing some post work on it in Photoshop to fix a few small areas.

The same compositing DOF effect was done on it that I illustrated with the earlier concept.

[ODoul]

I like the composition alot. The servant does look less menacing but I don't think it loses any of the storyline. I also like the lighting alot. Nice work.

[jddog]

excellent lights ! :thumbsup: and wonderful mats !
jdd

[Neeno]

wow dude.. some great effort put in this pciture.. and im sure your happy with it cause it looks really good.. sucha great show of the master here and so helpless the servant is in the hand of a giant.. great switch.. expression looks great and backrounds looking fantastic.. awaiting the final image.. great work dude!!

[Daoine]

HOLY CRAP!!! Talk about creation at the speed of light! Damn Mike, you work FAAAAST. This looks great:thumbsup: I'd like to see the humans face a little. Just enough to make out the corner of the mouth and laugh lines (not like he'd be laughin' in that burly beast's grasp:D), really show his fear. Honestly, you have tons of time, so, play with the poses, tweak them a bit here and there and render them out to compare. The beast's left index finger cuts off rather sharply with it's angle, for instance. I suggest taking your time from here on out. You have plenty of it to turn this into a masterpiece:arteest:

Good luck:beer:

Daoine

[Maxko]

Congratulation!! nice work, i like it :) and nice lightning

[handlebar]

Fine work, i think that congrats are in order. I like the new comp and the lighting is fantastic. Well done! and good luck! http://www.cgtalk.com/images/icons/icon7.gifhttp://www.cgtalk.com/images/icons/icon13.gif

looks really good. Only thing that really bothers me is the rocks in the background dont seem to be varied enough.

[Cartesius]

Looks really good, Mike! :thumbsup:

/Anders

[artemesia66]

I just found your thread, and you're almost finished! Great idea--nice twist. I like the new composition--i think it tells the story much better than youre earlier one. It would be very cool to see the human's facial reaction to having the tables turned. Good stuff :thumbsup:

Thanks all for the support and good luck to all.

Looks like the great effort has allready pay off for you my friend! very well done, congratulations!, It looks very good, I would only change the skin of the guy is too pale, and reduce the deph of field, but if u feel ok with the final image, that is what this is all about
Good Luck Michael, and congratulations once again

Great job, miketchh. I like the idea.
But while I know you're calling it 'done', I've gotta agree with Climax in that the DOF is a bit too strong. It kinda distracts from the rest of the piece.

Glad to see you're done, I would of work on it a bit more, the strongest part of your image is the master getting strangle, great work

[miketche]

Well thanks everyone for the kind words and all. I guess I should have worked on it a bit more, but to tell the truth, I just wasn't really inspired at all. I never felt a connection with it.

I've uploaded the final large tif image, so it's done, but I really don't expect it to go any further than that.

Good luck to all. There are some really very good entries in this challenge who deserve it a lot more than I do. We'll see what the next challenge brings.
