Master and Servant 3D Entry: Julien Daulte

[adel3d]

Welcome to the challenge. And good luck!

[jddog]

Hi all...
well first of... good luck every one! The fun can beginn again!

Actually I'm totally under pressure for some landscape works, so probably the time it will be really short for me. But an occasion like this is impossible to loose...

Some first input was probably to play with the idea between:
Master&Servant / Human and Robots and/or technology in every sense...
a conflict between the usefull of the technoligy used als servant... or viceversa the technology become the master and human a slave... mmm :twisted: this is a cool idea!

In this days I will think about the small story... and this time I will proceed with a more detailed concept sketch work to allow me to start with a defined idea...
Als usual sorry for my 'poor' english, gasp... :argh: ... but I will do my best

here we go :D

This challenge starts to get really interresting now !
Good luck Man (aux autres Suisses aussi !) :buttrock:

[jddog]

haha lol I will do the archi of the matrix :D

thanks & good luck to you to Michel !

jdd

[Lemog]

You come back... it's a true good thing... :thumbsup:


I read your idea... for sure, it's very interesting, and a bit near of mine... I'm waiting the sketch now...

[jddog]

a bit near of mine...

s*** bro... I did a 'boulette' is really near your idea :blush:

I will be stay more to human (not nature) and machine, but machine will be more near the sense of technlogy and computers... a little bit of Mytology and matrix mix...

If you suppose that is too near your idea or you think that is a stoled concept, please tell me I will think to another thing... personally except the life vs. machine confront I see that in/with a really different result... the concept root yes is really near... :shrug:
:argh:
Actually the concept was a human body (probably android) connected to a computer with tons of cables (not wirless) and totally destroyed by the power of the technology... something like that...

Pardon, I didn't read you story before your post here...

jdd

[markovicd]

so manny my friends are heeeeerrreeee..... yo mate! :D gl

Don't change anything Julien... is near but not completely... I'm sure...
On the paper, that seem, on the screen, I think the treatment will be very different... technology... yes for me, but not present in the scene like you... the most important in my story is the mother nature aspect, the women tree, her revenge on technology and users...
Let's go my friend !

[jddog]

::.::.:: The story ::.::.::


In 2205 the world create a super computer with the summum of the technology and informatics application to serve the humanity. For more than 30 years all was perfect and this super computer continue to receive up-dates and becoming every year bigger… this computer was called Zeus.

In 2238 humanity need to plug Zeus to a nuclear base to give at this computer enough energy to work, but the day were this connection to nuclear energy something change…

Nuclear energy give at this machine a strange new power… a kind of consience, an ability to think by him self, the power to build is own elements to be indipendent and evolve alone in the time…

Humanity was stunned about this strange phenomenon… they think that was a real discovery and they think about an evolution between man and technology…

7 year after Zeus encounter different problems witch one was a survival problem, he hasn’t enough energy to continue they own evolution… Zeus was like a animal that need to create their own defense and he started to use the human biological energy for is own alimentation…

Als Aztec and Maya times humans began to do human sacrifice… but they wasn’t enough, Zeus decide to reverse all normal and logic order… Zeus in 2246 became the master of humanity and humanity the serve, the slave of him…


sketches will coming really soon...

I used again my scan of the hand draw, and added some figure at bottom... actually I'm not really in clear with the Zeus aspect. I will think on it this week-end. For the hangar and some lights als first input I'm fixed... I like this idea. Really a dark and opressed mood.

Probably I start some 3D modelling of the hangar...

jdd

[cg219]

Very interesting concept. Looking foward to its development.

[pitiwazou]

yes, very interresting concept ;) good luck !!

[jddog]

if you're not 29, you're eighter 28 or cheating....

grrr you won cocoK... 29 :cry: ... but looks really young... whahahah... :beer:
a beer in Ticino when you are here, lol !

jdd

[ChristianHammer]

Keep up the good work. This is a very promising concept!

[kirouac]

Nice concept man !


I want to see more!... sketch of zeus computer!

good luck for ur poject(bonne chance)

[jddog]

sketch of zeus computer!

merci... yeah zeus computer... mmm I skratch my head... I will come out with some ideas... but actually I had to pay attention to don't do something to similar to Lemog... a guinnes will help me to find the right idea

thanks so much for viewing and all your support gs, so kind, so cool, so great !

jdd

[Kid-Mesh]

This feels like some X-files type @#$! :scream:

Awesome story man and awesome concept, very dark and creepy like. Looking forward to your 3D visualization of it.

[Deadlyforce]

Welcome and good luck Mr Dog !
Cya !

[Virtuoso]

Interesting concept Julien......And nice sketch work,it shows the effect and plan you have quite nicely.......Bonne chance

[jddog]

kid mesh - :thumbsup: thanks

deadly force - cya and thanks to pass here in my thread...

Interesting concept Julien......And nice sketch work,it shows the effect and plan you have quite nicely.......Bonne chance
hehe... staying at CGtalk you learn french... salut beau blond... whahaha...!
Thanks Virtuoso !!!

jdd

[Geta-Ve]

whoa.. neato! Still not exactly sure what it is, but :D I think im just dumb.

Gotta see how this will translate into 3d :)

[TheFirstAngel]

Great opening Julien, lets expect much! am looking forward to what you come up with into the finetuning.

[jddog]

http://www.cgnetworks.com/challenge/entries/9/6165/6165_1111839682_medium.jpg (http://www.cgnetworks.com/challenge/entries/9/6165/6165_1111839682_large.jpg)

well here we are... the 3d session start now.

Is true that I'm not fixed with zeus computer aspect/form... I try to visualize 3 different computers:
1 like a robot
2 like an alien structure
3 like a simple cube ( a ibm server... something like this) but in this case I had to do/create a distressing and dark sourronding otherwise the image will lost interest.

I continue to think abou it...

jdd

[markovicd]

man , again u are making nuclear bomb ? :D ahaha kidding ... hm... interesting idea i wanna see how this comes out

[jddog]

man , again u are making nuclear bomb ? :D ahaha kidding

lol... I love destroed buildings and explosions... thanks for comment. Hey btw markovicd, did you entered too in the contest ?

soon other up-dates !!! :wip:

jdd

[ace4016]

I like the cocnept, and nice start on the destroyed building. Maybe for Zeus, you could have a brain type thing, or some organic looking machine. Hope to see more modeling soon.

[jddog]

Maybe for Zeus, you could have a brain type thing, or some organic looking machine.

I really didn't think about that kind of 'creature'... it can be really interesting. Added on my brainstorm... :thumbsup: thanks ace!

the mettalic structure... now I have to broke the metallic structure near the broken walls area...


jdd

[blackdragoncg]

Pretty cool so far :thumbsup: Good luck with the rest of your work

[markovicd]

oh yes mate ... i am in the contest :) , u have the link underneet in my signature :D

[ace4016]

Actually, i just got an idea about the idea i just gave you. One of the worlds 7 wonders i believe is the statue of Zeus made of gold and ivory in Olympia; maybe you can have a humanoid (not neccessirly human looking though) sitting in the exact position as the statue of Zeus, maybe even in gold circuits and ivory body/shell. Just a thought; my myth class and you mentioning Zeus got me thinking of the statue. Maybe just the gold circuits and ivory body in whatever dominating pose would work better then the throne pose though. Hope you find the design of the Zeus computer soon, I want to see this entry finished in the end.

[TheFirstAngel]

Well, will be a hard nut to show out the whole aspects of your story in a single shot. came another idea in my mind:
what if Zeus was the Software wich handles the worldwide lifesupport, I had a horrible vision: "MS Zeus, worldwide Lifesupportsystem stoped because of a critical exception. Press F1 for more information..."

Modeling looks fine so far. Keep it up Julien!

[jddog]

"MS Zeus, worldwide Lifesupportsystem stoped because of a critical exception. Press F1 for more information..."

haha... was better to choose Apple Pandora... :scream: ... lol

blackdragoncg - ty for support !

The following modelling session for the hangar...

This time I added some lights, I think this can slowly give you an impression of the general environment and the kind of temper that I will give to this image...

jdd

[d-tox]

great lighting man!
looks great:thumbsup:

[soapy]

Wow, JD you have come really far and fast. The volumetric light looks really good. The image is starting to get a real feeling of sci-fi grandeur.

[gpepper]

Ouch, ça avance ici aussi ! :thumbsup:

[altebanger]

very cool I'll be watching :)

[Geta-Ve]

Im curious as to how you did those rays of lights.. or beams of lights if you will.. Always liked that effect :p

Good job so far!

[mr wonky]

Nice atmosphere. Love to see how it progresses. :thumbsup:

[Tremoside]

Your scene's mood is simply great. I hope you're not too busy and you will be able to do all the things what you designed in time. Bests,

Tremo

[jddog]

Im curious as to how you did those rays of lights.. or beams of lights if you will...
is just a volumetric light passig through mettalic structure or borders of the destroyed area that create this fx.

Your scene's mood is simply great. I hope you're not too busy and you will be able to do all the things what you designed in time.
thanks you tremo :thumbsup: ... well, it will be a fight, but I think is possible and personally I really want do it... nothing can stopp me :D (so I hope).

d-tox, g-pepper, altebanger, mr wonky : Thank you so much ! :thumbsup:

soapy : don't be jealous... haha, btw your concept really rock ! Keep it hard ! :applause:

happy Easter to all !

jdd

[Lemog]

Hey Julien... you work hard now... we can see better the way of your composition... but I think that's a real challenge to make understandable the story in it... any, I'm sure have the soluton in your mind and I'm waiting impatiently the next step... bon courage mec :bounce:

[flaeticia]

Hey Julien, you work there !
That's it, you are thrown !
I like your concept, as well as the lighting, this volume light strengthens the atmosphere, its seen well :thumbsup:

[TheFirstAngel]

great advance, the volumetrtic light looks very good. keep it up mate :):thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[coCoKNIght]

grrr you won cocoK... 29 :cry: ... but looks really young... whahahah... :beer:
a beer in Ticino when you are here, lol !

jdd

:D yuppiiiiiiie!!! :beer: :beer: :beer: cant wait! I have a "gleis 7" card :twisted: I'm there faster than you can say "poop"! hahahahah :)

btw. Modelling is coming along nicely :thumbsup:

[jddog]

but I think that's a real challenge to make understandable the story in it...

yeah Laurent you got the point... BUT... I decided to do 2 days of pause from my 3D operation to drawing and thinking exacly how to generate the 2 elements (zeus and humans / master&servant)...
I had to say that a little bit of wine help me a lot...
I have some good idea. But I'm not in office, so no scanner here at home (drastic decision of mine... at home just web and iTunes... otherwise I work 20hrs day), no 3d application, just my pen&paper and different test/sketches... I really working hard this time and I will better fit the contest theme (in GSO I made absolutely what I want and I was a little bit out of theme...).

Je te promets cette fois je veux déchirer !

Flaeticia Thanks for support ... you too are made a excellent challenge !

The1st_angel Merci viel mal ;)

coCoKNIght Gleis7... bast*** ... :twisted: hahaha... at 27 is finished ... Thanks for support !

[artemesia66]

_great_ concept, and the modelling is looking very atmospheric already. looking forward to seeing how this progresses.

[Virtuoso]

Mood setting looks quite nice.......going very nicely thus far Julien......I would wish you bonne chance....but lucks got nothing to do with it.......i'l be looking for progress.keep it going strong...:arteest:

[alex.h.]

looks cool. wery atmospheric. see you and :thumbsup:

[Borro]

Oooo background looks very nice... Can't wait to see more...

[choptider]

hey, on the road again for new contest, to bad we won't be on competition!
i better be this time in 2D contest, not enough time for the 3D.
good start, now i anderstand what you're going to do!

[splotch]

well ... here we are JD .... thats an amazing start
now we have the nuclear doom and the servants will be sorted around but where is Zeus is he gonna be like a slyer standing in this doom??
nice lighting and modeling wish you the best luck friend
keep the good work ...

[jddog]

Artemesia66 thanks you
Virtuoso thanks friend... I will really keeep it strong !
alex h. thanks so much :thumbsup:
Borro... I work on it :wip: ... more up-dates will come out soon
chopitder good luck fro your 2D... I will watch your progress ;)
splotch thanks... Zeus will stand on the middle over the platform... I'm working on different sketches actually, but until I'm not really sure about waht/how it will look out I continue to sketch... some post come soon, promise...

:wip: see ya soon

[eddieellis]

nice job on the lighting man, looks very atmospheric !

here the main evolution ideas...
Zeus is not definitive, but a 3 main mega computer structures will be probably a part of his aspect... probably I will fall in the idea to use a hologram representation of a face or a body for him... I continue to think on this part...

[Gunilla]

Great start on a Grand theme! It's going to be really interesting to see how this evolves - you already created a good mood in your stage. Nice to see another angle for the tech theme - and thanks a lot for your good suggestions for my entry :thumbsup:

Ok I just do some test with simple forms and textures, after my sketch post, to view if this can work. All texture and model is just a quick way to visualize in 3D what I draw...

jdd

[madshooter]

Nice going, Waiting for updates.

[Goul]

Great lightning job , looks great so far :)

[ODoul]

Very interesting sketch. Subscribed.

[Wandddo]

Very nice sketch, Julien! I liked lights a lot too. Waiting updates...:D

[rattlesnake]

Man i really like your story...
about Zeus (i dont know if somebody told this already) i visualize it very organic...maybe with all the development it has it became also like an animal shape...a monster..u know how complex alive organism are..so maybe this machine has the capability to reach to this level..
just an idea...
ill be watching your progress my friend.

[Tremoside]

Hey it's an excellent lightwork! Works fine with your idea! Good to see images like this!

Here start for me the real challenge... modelling the human body... It's really a early WIP, but I will post different phase of all y works.

Any crits is wellcome... is officially the 2nd time that (here on CGtalk) I post wips of a human body...

hdd

[jddog]

madshooter, Goul, 3D_Explorer thanks so much !!! :bounce:

rattlesnake the animal shape... or human/animal shape can be really an interesting things. :thumbsup: TY for support...

Tremoside :blush: thanks for your kindness, and I'm so happy that you like it !

jdd

[Climax]

• Wow! everything is looking great so far! nice asses of the slaves also :D waiting for more detail, keep at it

[coCoKNIght]

I can't really crit on the body yet, but I think the liquid should not have that much waves, should be calm. First I didn't like the zeus texture but then I thought with glow and stuff that could look really good.

[jddog]

nice asses of the slaves also :D
haha lol... :D
but I think the liquid should not have that much waves
I think you got reason... I will correct this for the next render test...

Versiden ty... especially the 'good luck' for the head... :hmm: ...

Tremorside yea I try to wash all renders before to post is to hope that they are enough clean... :argh: sorry for extra bad jocke... hehe...
well yep I try to pay attention to meshes... becasue I think alredy to the rig session too :hmm: another problem for a next step... anyway thanks so much for comment !

[Squibbit]

just dropping by to say hi... read from somewhere u got a nuclear
hangar in the scene..or sumthin... missile silo ? would love to see
some Falloutish stuff :) Anywayz, laters and have fun doood

[miketche]

Nice start on the human models. That's going to be my biggest challenge as well. Looking good. :buttrock:

[soapy]

Good work on the figure model so far, that is the toughest part of these challenges, building new figures from scratch. It seems like the face has a lot of polys? Will the face be seen close up? But I suppose if you build it full now you can use it for other things later.

[Geta-Ve]

hey nice man! I like what you have so far!

[rattlesnake]

looks like a nice start on the topology of the mesh...ill be following your steps mate

[Lemog]

For the moment, not great a deal to say, perhaps that before nose is too thin, but I will await the continuation. :thumbsup:

[jddog]

Squibbit thanks to dropin' here... yes the nuclear hangar exist, you can view sketches and some 3d model on the challenge page (see link on my signature)

miketche You got the point the head will be my challenge... thanks for support :thumbsup:

soapy you have noticed something: too many polys... From my past experience I use not so many polys and I never reach good result because when I adding polys I loose my self in the gemetry.
With the new function/tool of 'create polygon' on r9 is really much easier to generate polys, I create it like if I draw. Works well and I can follow better my reference photos...

Geta-Ve :thumbsup: thanks !

rattlesnake haha this for me is a challenge, a real challenge ... thanks so much for support, todday I continue to work on face... :wip:

lemog comment tu a fait a remarquer cela, en plus tu as raison... Yes you are right actually nose is not perfecly right if i compare it to my ref photos... what for an eagle eye do you have bro ! lol :wip: Merci Laurent !

:wip: thank you for all you encouragement :bounce:

[JamesMK]

Looking good, Julien :thumbsup:

I can agree a bit with the points about the face mesh being a bit too dense. But then it's true too, like you say, that having too few polys can be problematic as well when it's time to cut more detail. Maybe something inbetween... The end result will no doubt be good at any rate.

[Virtuoso]

Hey are'nt you supposed to be an architect......?;) ......Nice start on the face Julien....The topology looks fine...your off and running now.....Well done,keep it going....:arteest:

yep... in different exercise that I made I starde with a extremely low poly and using Mesh Surgery I cut, add polys, and change the main forms of my polys, but llways I lost a lot of time and I can't reach dood result... So in the front of the face I add more polygons that I made normally ad the rest of the head is really a low poly. Now thatks to n-gons is really more easy to do...

I will post later a mesh of the actual head...

[tzktime]

Good luck mate! Hope to see more updates :wip:

[pseudonympending]

Hey man,

I reckon you could do with losing 3 or 4 rows of polys from the upper lip area. They're just getting in the way of each other and you're ending up with a very forced, unnatural look. I tend to start with a fairly low poly mesh and then add detail where it's needed once i've got the basic shape set out. Same goes for the area bewtween the eyes.

Also you might consider increasing the width of the bridge of the nose.

Definately a strong start though, the profile is pretty much spot on. Good luck.
Dave.

[jddog]

tzktime good luck to you too :wip:

Swamps ...Dave thanks so much... actually I'm doing exacly the inverse procedure, I use the n-gons to eliminate the polygons that I can 'erase' to have not so many poly (and different geometry problem)... work fine actually. You have reason about the rows is what I did and what I will do... step by step. I will take care to the nose...

thansk for your relevant comment :wip: really appreciated !

Different small correction are to do on mounth and around eyes and I need to find a way to do the ears (grrr...) I know...

any C&C is really apreciated...

[gra7]

cool model julien.. i just dont like the face.. c ya !

[Geta-Ve]

Hmm, its good, but it can definatly be better. I think you should take 10 or 15 minutes to look through the other challenge pieces and look at their facial edge loops. I say this because alot of your loops on the face seem to be a mess.

You have a good general foundation for them but you just need to follow the faces muscle structure more. Especially around the mouth and nose area, those seem to be the worst loops on the face. It shouldn't take too long to fix up if you give it your full attention and I think you will be alot more happy with it after you do, expression will be alot easier to set. hehe.

Anyways, overall its good, but theres definatly room for improvement, just take your time because honestly, if you don't win this one, theres always next time ;) :bounce:

[ace4016]

Good job on the servant. I have to agree though with geta-ve; the edge loops should look like loops around the mouth. Man, the joan of arc tutorial is more the gold; I would recommend it to you for the head(the english version is at 3dtotal.com, and it links to the french version). I'd also get rid of some tris, especially around the mouth. Good luck on the face.

[Lemog]

Yes, maybe that's not realized in the rule of the art... but the result is here... I think with minor tweaking, that's will be sufficient, and if they're not close-up.... that's run easily... and I'm sure that for the next one, Julien change his maneer to place his edges...
You work hard Julien... vas-y, à donf... champagne ! :thumbsup:

[TheFirstAngel]

ah magnifique! ca marche bien, j'aime ton update beaucoup! only sugestion wich i just spoted he area where the leggs meet could use a bit more separation. but you might already have that on your list. keep it up mate, really great start on him!:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[jddog]

It shouldn't take too long to fix up if you give it your full attention and I think you will be alot more happy with it after you do, expression will be alot easier to set. hehe.

Geta-Ve... I have really to thanks you for your comment. Like swamps tells me to reduce polygon, like your coment now is really a great help.

I will work seriously in the direction that you tells me and take time to do it. This last image post of the servant stage 1 is for me like a render test to think over and having feed-backs. I found other small details that are to work on too. Now another modelling stage on this model can beginn... :wip:

:thumbsup: thanks so much !


ace4016 yep I know Michael tutorial. I made it a lot of time to learn and speed up my ability to play with polys. This time I use different tools of the new version of C4D so I change a little bit the tecnique. Anyway like the previous comments... I had to refine different things... :wip: I fight for the right to polygonize ! ... lol

lemog nor particular close up are preview on slaves like you can observe in the sketch... but this didn't mean that I will reach a good result for this figure. I had to take care if I will rig this body too to don't reach a situation where I can't control correctly all my poly... at same time I do some experience on a kind of modelling that I don't do for my job normally... thanks for support and encouragements :bounce:

the1st_angel Thanks so much Sacha, will take care too at legs... :wip:

Ok... I take notice of all comment that you made me. I will try to bring this in present during next session on my servant figure. Today I got some differents work to do so is possible that next up-dates will come a little bit later...

Thank you all !

[msteinert]

The modeling level was great, like the texture. Only pay attention to muscle details; it has a flat/box-like view.

For the muscles, you made changes in mesh, or use some texture technique (bump map, normal bump), or something else? Try reproduce this in the mesh. At this form, the lights result can be more efficient.

The servant will get hair and/or clothes?

Sorry my poor english vocabulary.
It's a good job. Congratulations.

No probs with english mate... same problem for me :D
Thanks for your pertinent comment. Yes muscles are a part of the model that I had to work on. For the time being I work on mesh without bumps.
No clothes for servant they will remain nude, but I will add short hairs. You need to consider that I will have 6 or 10 Servant on all the scene...

stoat lol haha :scream:, thatks for comments !

great work on that human, maby he needs a little bump in the midlle parts

:D lol... mmm... I asking my self (beacuse my servant will reamin nude) if I had to do the genitals... will see...


thanks all for comments :wip:

[Gunilla]

Great progress! That servant model is looking real good. I agree with alex though, you should give him at least a hint of a bump ... especially if they're going to be nude. Or else you could cover up the area with a napkin or something. :blush:
Looking forward to the rest! :thumbsup:

[overcontrast]

nice moeling, but its really in a premitive stage to comment... but as far as i can see here... u need some sirious tweaking job ahead of you, spacially aroung the shoulder and cruch area. i feel the hands are longing for more attention, and the elbo should be more refined( i believe that u'll do anyways)... btw i really liked your head model.. right now its the best modeled part of the body. Well keep up that good works and c ya around :thumbsup:

hey there dude.. models looking great.. just a few tweaks here and there and it'll be fine... other people already mentioned wat need to be changed im sure you dont want to read it twice. But great work so far.. keep posting looking great man

[Kid-Mesh]

Im chiming (sp?) in on what others are saying. Modeling looks great thus far, a few tweaks here and there and you should be fine.

[Lemog]

Lot of work here Julien... congratulation ! I know, body modeling is very long work... and not very easy. You made a lot of progress I think, there's my remarks for him :
The shoulders fall towards outside, and are a little too behind compared to the chest.
The articulations should be marked, with the elbows, the knees, the wrists and the fingers.
The muscles of the chests are too square, and it's oddly the only part of his body which is very muscular.
The thighs are not powerful enough.
The scapulas do not arise enough.
The connection head/body is too angular, it would be necessary to mark a little the shape of the deltoïdes muscles.

I hope that will be help you... et bon courage pour la suite :thumbsup:

[jddog]

especially if they're going to be nude. Or else you could cover up the area with a napkin or something.
A leaf... :D Thannks for comment !

nu need some sirious tweaking job ahead of you, spacially aroung the shoulder and cruch area. i feel the hands are longing for more attention, and the elbo should be more refined( i believe that u'll do anyways)

[Tremoside]

Hi Julien,


You're walking on a good way! Yes, some twekings left, but am sure you can solve these problems. One crit from my side: maybe the fingertips are a bit narrow and the head is moved backway, just bring it a bit "ahead". Maybe you can do some tweakings after rigging if you convert your char into mesh again, but i'ts up to you. Keep posted, good to see your development on him! :wavey:
Tremo

[splotch]

hey julien,

nice progress u r doing well ...
hop to see the master soon
good luck keep going ....

[Aethyrprime]

Nice progress Julien. Only suggestions would be to round out the outer edges of the pecs they seem a bit too square and emphasize the shoulder blades on the back just a bit. Also the spinal indentation increases usually just above the hips in the lower back slope. Keep at it, be back for more later. :wip:

Well Julien I cant add to the wonderful coments above...just agree....I do think however as WIP's go you do have a real nice basis or founday=tion for a real nice model.....I think it's tweak and tweak some more time.....we have to do it....But it's prety close to getting what I am sure you are looking for.....Keep chisling away at it as you are.....My main thing would have ben for you to widen the fingers a bit....but you are onto that by now I am sure......So keep it up.not far off ,,,,see you soon,and work well....:arteest:

Here the skin shader (included in the last post too) als test with 3 lights. Light have the same color of the illumination that I preview in the Nuclear Hangar (white, green, light cyan)... So I check how my skin shader will react with these colors.

[handlebar]

This is coming along great, lots of atmosphere and nicely presented. Bravo.

[artemesia66]

I really like your skin shader, and the model of the figure is really coming along. To my eye, his forearm is somewhat pinched, his pecs need to flow more smoothly up to his shoulders and out over his arms, and his abs look just a little too defined. keep it coming :thumbsup:

[jddog]

mmm yep... next time I will do a woman, no muscle to do with my meshes :scream: lol...
Thanks to point me on this... I try to do step by step. Is a little more slowly, but I had to pay attention to my meshes, otherwise I lost my self in poly and points. Thanks for the shader comment... I jump from shader test to modelling to change a little bit of "kind of work" ...

handlebar thanks so much !

Your quicktest looks really good - nice mood and ambience already! And since the servants are placed like that I hereby withdraw from my earlier comments on towels or leafs :)

Great work :thumbsup:

[blackdragoncg]

Looking good Jddog! :thumbsup:

Just A comment about your lighting testing... You may consider setting up the lighting for your scene and make all your scene lighting not effect you human model at all...then set up separate lighting rig for your human elements and again ...but the flip side ..... have this set up not effect the environment. Don’t know if you need to but I have experimented with this kind of thing and found that this gives more control in most instances....Especially when using complicated skin shaders & surfaces etc... Another method would be to render your components of the scene separately and then re-composite in PS or similar app.... Again just gives you more control.... Well hope I'm not rambling on pointlessly....Maybe you will find something useful here.
Good work dude and rock on mate :buttrock:

[jddog]

Don’t know if you need to but I have experimented with this kind of thing and found that this gives more control in most instances....

Thanks blackdragoncg for comment... when you talk about istances you talk about servan human bodies? ... is preview to don't use at all istances for bodies but all individual object with different pose (so 6 or more individual copies of each bodies).

What you teel me is really interesting, I didn't think about this step and I didn't really imagine about a technique like this...

For the moment I use only same colors to see how SSS and material color react, really a quick test to be sure that the shader is ok.

Will keep this in mind for next progress... Thank you so much !

And since the servants are placed like that I hereby withdraw from my earlier comments on towels or leafs.

lol... did I need to do servants bigger for the leaf :scream: ... yep then some of this bodies will be more in water als now, someone only with head and arms out, outher with the water near knee, etc... I will create a scene with a lot of dinamics and movement...

Hey dude coming along nicely i see.... my only crit would be you seem to have too many abbs...... he has a eight pack not six pack, also the crease between the pecks could do with alittle smoothing

Skin shader looks good! Maybe some harder glossy patches could be fine, but it's working perfectly with the lights. And am agree with James. have nice day/night!

[Virtuoso]

I agree with most everyone on the execution thus far Julien......I see a few tweakable areas,,,but slight tweaks.....natural smoothing is all......It's quite close to be clean and right.....nice proportions an overall well developed character....just keep tweaking,go with natural contours of the body.......Round of edges...blend muscles into one another......Tweak highway for you.......but it's close......Doing a real nice job with this.......I got my own muscles with brute to mess with.....so we can tweak together.......Keep it coming Julien.....:arteest: :arteest:

Inorganic modelling is best side of your style I think..Keep it up!!!

[soapy]

The lighting and set design here are stellar Julien. Once you get your figures sorted out this scene is going to be killer. cheers.

[JamesMK]

Indeed some dramatic lighting here, and I just love cool lights :D

Fantastic set you've got here. Great work indeed. Love the atmosphere you've created. This should be coming together really well.

[Wandddo]

[splotch]

hey friend
nice lighting and great work
keep updating
good luck

[stoat]

Nice lighting. Looking at it on a mac monitor I can see the barest hint of the dome supports in the left. Will that show on pc? Perhaps some very subtle blue/cyan lights, not to lighten it so much as to change the blacks to rich blacks. :thumbsup:

[overcontrast]

wow very nice lighting man... the dome could use some more work tho... but over all i like where ur going... keep up the good works mate :thumbsup:

[3dRaven]

Dramatic lighting Julien...guess I could learn a thing or two from observing your scene :thumbsup:

[coCoKNIght]

What renderer and software are you using for the volumetrics? They look really good.

[lorenzo3d]

I like the environment, but just is not clear what all the wire are, maybe cables. Nice use of the light also!:thumbsup:
