Piedad, Vladimir Minguillo (3D)

[earthrokk]

Let me say first that you are very good and continue to build your skills. This is definitely Dope! You are better than me because I never have time to get started, so don't stop. I am an artist in many areas and I worked and studied stone.

I agree that you still need to improve your modeling. Always remember never to take too many short cuts if it will not benifit your finished work. In this case, I think that you either became tired in working in one area or didn't understand how to model the very fine details. I imagine your computer wasn't in the Vatican either. I am not sure, but This is a very challenging piece and you did very well. But you need to continue to do everything that is going to perfect the work.

I can't upload an image to show some of the differences what I saw, so just compare for yourself (you already know about some of them). The material is nice and would fit an original piece of work, but it is not very fitting for this pieta. Look at the photo in this thread of the original to compare and see just some of the differences.

Great Job and push harder and further. Stay Dope!

[rock]

Maya is not good for modeling. :) This doesn't deserve 5 stars, but the whole galaxies.

[JuGGerNauTT]

Hi Vladimir. Your model is larger than life man, congratulations for completing this. You are a great modeler and artist of course, because only an artist could reproduce something like this.

My only crits, in my hamble opinion, are these:

1. You seem to have missed the tendons under the knees of Jesus, that makes your leg deformations kind of strange. If you take a look at the original you will understand what I mean.

2. Virgin Mary's forehead shows more in the orginal, giving a sadder overall feeling when you are looking at her. You got her expression right though :)

3. Lastly, I believe that in the original sculpture, Michaelangelo made Virgin Mary "pulling" Jesus towards her chest more. In your model Jesus just seems to be lying on her knees, which is ok, but fixing this will actually show what Michaelangelo wanted to show..... the feelings that Virgin Mary had, when she lost Jesus, her love and her affection. These little things add so much more weight to the original and bring it to life.


Other than that, trully inspiring work, keep it up. ;)

[Hawke]

That really is an amazing piece of modelling :eek::bowdown:

[ashish]

Your job is amazing..Pieta is damn complex piece of art, attemting a 3d model is truly commendable..Great job !!:thumbsup:

[soulreaper_20]

wicked dude, unbelieveable shit .... rock on :buttrock:

it is fantastic! Vladimir, definitely very very nice and awesome!!


felicitaciones por tu trabajo, simplemente es fabuloso, 1 mes y medio para un gran modelado me parece genial, otra mas...que haces por alla en suecia hermano
saludos y muestra mas de tu trabajo

[DarkKnightBG]

Excellent, excellent job. I can't even begin to imagine how you went about modeling this complex piece of art. You must truly be an artist with a really good eye for subtleties and must have had great reference images! Overall, rediculously well-done. Please share with us your modeling process!

[Anne7]

This is too much. man, that model gave me heartattack!:buttrock:


Great work!

How did you do the clothes? Did you use syflex?

[plumsky]

oh, good job!:thumbsup:

板杂，向你多学习！

板杂，向你多学习！

[Stephen Casey]

Marvelous effort, congatulations. I imagine you are rather exhausted with this project. But I hope you will over time enhance it further as you tally suggestions on a continueous basis. Posting the version date and time next to each posting of new renders of your work would lead to less confusion about what is the lastest model version, as these images will likely be posted on many, many sites over time as well as be e-mailed. Forum systems often rename images, so your posting date and time along with images would be very helpful.

I hope at some point in the near future you will do a SLOW fly around animation of your model so we can see this masterpiece from many angles. As this will be our only avenue to see this masterpiece from many angles as most of us will not get the chance to see the original in person.

If you write on the sash, perhaps you should change it to say "Michelangelo did the original masterpiece." Something should be written there, but tact will be neccasary.

Again this is done with great craftsmanship. Thank you so much for sharing it with us all.

[StevenBHS]

perfect attention to detail! 5- stars from me!!!

[marforno]

Un trabajo barbaro...!!! excelente... Felicitaciones...!!!

[halfstring]

Totally inspiring work and meticulous attention to detail.

[SilviaAriaans]

OH MY!!! : ) This is "wonder"ful work!! I would also like a little more aged texture on it, but as it is modelled soooooo perfectly it's a real joy for the eyes to see it as clean as you presented it!!! I never gave stars yet, but I give you 5 stars!!! Congratulations!! :)

[MARTSMONDE]

Oh OHhhhh my GOD
Amazing Vladimir:applause::applause::applause:

I hope you'll write a tutorial about this...hehehe!!!

[Stephen1212]

Awesome work m8! :applause::applause::applause:

[Mumia55]

Your work makes me thrilled and more encouraged to continue to make 3D art , which in my case , is 3d mess...

Congratulations!

[o0OJAHRASTAO0o]

you already have an idea, but the work is rather impressive. Great job by far.

My only crit if you're interested.... is the heel. The master work has the weight and softness of flesh, as it presses against the tree stump. A subtle detail that may be shallow in comparison to the detail you put into the rest of this work.

Great job.

(Sorry I'm lazy, but here's the pic used earlier for the knee...look to the heel, my friend.)

[dflipb]

the real question is....

Is this pre psycho taking a hammer to it? or post hammering. if so can we see the mark? :scream:

incredible work!!!1

[Denart]

amazing! Creating folds in fabric is one of the biggest challenges and you've handled it perfectly and believably

you should sell the model to a museum or something. I dunno

:D

[Sil 369]

Very beautiful. Can you please post close-ups of things like the faces, hands, and the folds in the fabrics? Maybe a view from one side and/or from the top, if that's no trouble. Would love to see them! :)

[geis]

It looks very good!
Awesome work:applause:

Would you show the wireframe, please?

[Sil 369]

By side view, I mean a profile. :)

[leho]

wow thats too great to comment. but yeah, would you share with us about your techniques and so.

[goktugg]

great stuff!!!amazing modelling*:thumbsup:
congratulations:)

[ArbitraryDesign]

After reading through this entire thread, I would not presume to critique your work.
As a long-time sculptor, and more recently a CG artist, I'm very impressed, and I am happy to see the response you have gotten from the CG community.
It is well deserved.

Have you considered sending your file to a rapid prototyper, and executing an actual sculpture from your model? It's such an impressive, detailed work, it would look fantastic as a bronze reproduction... provided you have detailed the entire piece.

Best of luck in your future endeavors :)

[jo_3d]

"Wooooow , heck!"

that was my first response to seeing the model, but after looking carefully at it in relation to the original I now am apt to think, "Woooow!! thats some awesome work!" Well done and keep it coming

[Miguelin]

Oye tio, Por que no dejas el 3d y te haces escultor de verdad??????

Un saludo.

[Boristone]

Excelente trabajo Vladimir!!....que haces por Suecia?...estudias Animación 3D?

Recibe un afectuoso saludo desde aca en Perú y que todo te vaya de maravilla.

Regards

Boris.

[leho]

god how i hate when people speak foreign languages in international forums :)

[Miguelin]

Well, at first, when i want to say something that could interest to somebody maybe i will write in english. But sometimes i just want to say something to the artist, that can uderstand my idiom. I dont want to read sentences like "Oh my gos is awesome" because im not the artist so i will write in my idiom if he can understand.


The translation of my text is that if he have try to practice sculpture.

So please, dont hate.

sorry dude. it's ok. it's just that when you have some critics sometimes, then it would help other to understand the techniques too. if you know what i mean. but thats not the topic to argue about it

[Boristone]

Sorry by that leho!!...I'll try to fix this impasse...

I wrote to Vladimir, wich is my compatriot, that if he is studying 3D animation in Sweden and also give to him my best wishes from here in Peru.

I hope that you don't hate us too much now :)

Best regards

Boris.

[bbamomo]

wow it look really real, geat job

[AAGAMERCEO]

We are starting an urban digital arts training center for youth in the Maryland/DC area. I will definitely show this piece to demonstrate, talent, patience, passion, and the love. The love you have for the for the craft and the art. Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!

[proteek]

Great job indeed but I think there is little bit problem with the legs of the male figure. I think there is a little bit problem in anatomy at the knee area of the right leg and secondly it seems that the left leg is floating on the air.

[bluerock]

i just wanna start to cry....


SIMPLY AMAZING

byz
Matteo

[noen]

It is simply stupendous!

The animated giff shows the differences, The knee still isn't quite right and Mary looks to me like she has a very faint smile that's absent in the original. There is more detail in the original cloth folds than in your model. Also, Jesus' left heel presses into, rests upon, the tree stump and his head is thrown back farther.

You don't need to improve your modeling skills, what you *do* need to do is let your imagination and your feelings flow through you into the work. *Feel* the heel as it presses into the tree. Note the stiffness in the cloth as it resists gravity, cloth is not quite so relaxed as you have portrayed it, sections will stiffen in columns that only reluctantly give way. Imagine how the Christs head would lol about, he's not sleeping.

And, of course, many kudos for having the chutzpah to even attempt it in the first place! Great work!

[bsm3d]

I just want to say that you are f****g GOOD :) well done ! fantastic work 5 stars on !

Best,

[yuisuzuki]

wow, nice work, it looks like ture...

[giraffe3d]

amazing !!!:applause:
bravo :)

[Vondragon]

Really Great.
The faces are really expressive and the cloath so much beautifull.
Only one thing: the material is similar to porcelain and not marmoire (i hope is write correctly).
For me 5 star.
Vondragon

[raythex]

its amazing... you dont need me to say any mroe about that.

but i DO think that there needs to be more feeling. like some have said before... i think you just modeled.... which i believe was the original intent lol... so kudos to you. i wanna see you redo this image... with as much feeling as you can and your own composition as to how our dear mary should be showing her anguish.

cheers!

[oopper]

You really did good job!!!
I can not say anything....WOW!
I love your work!

[attila]

This is fantastic!

You can make everithing in 3D from now! I've seen the real one in Rome, but this is also a great work!

[Goofball Jones]

My god...where do you even BEGIN on a model like that? What references did you use? Did you just start at the top and work your way down?

Wow...just...wow.

It’s one of the best model I've ever seen. BRAVO:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I am really astonished! would like to see more masterpieces :)

[Hutzz]

Probablente el modelo más meritorio que vi en mi vida. Increíble. Coincido en que con otro material podría quedar mejor, pero aunque ni siquiera le hubieras puesto un material, seguiría siendo algo de otro mundo.

(Probably the best model I have ever seen. Incredible. I agree with what others said about the material, but even if it didn't have a material at all, I would still be a piece of work out of this world.)

[Igor Trajkovski]

Great Vladimir!
A ton of work you did here.

My remark would be the material.
It is to plastic like in appearance.
I would like to see this model
with a more dull marble matterial.

Great work, again i must say.
Congrats!

Keep it comming!

This is so outstanding. I would also like to know more, on how you modeled this? did you just "eyeball" it, or how did you come up with the proportions? absolutely super work! A++,
i did a quick oil painting, or the same image, but it is not even remotely close to this. you take the cake buddy.

Vladimir, even though your original post for Piedad was in April, I'm sure you will continue to get comments on it.

What a way to try to improve your skills! The way it looks to me, it couldn't have been done better. Stunning job!

There aren't enough stars available for what it's really worth.

[gardogg]

something that makes me chuckle is thinking about how many times you used "undo" during this model, then thinking of how accurate angelo had to be when he made the original... he had no undos! lol

I was thinking the same thing. If you could impress the cgtalk community this much with a cg model, imagine what an accomplishment Michael had when doing this thing out of rock...I wonder if he was working from a reference?

Keep up the awesome work.

[Feng-Shui]

I mean wow.....

Guys...that is no cloth plugin or wuteva...thats poly-pulling wonder for you. And the shaders....can be better in terms of dirt and all...but this is how it looks like when Michealangelo first finished doing it i guess!

Mental Ray perhaps?

Hey Vladimir, just taking a break from the 3D Challenge to cruse through the galleries here -- saw your work and thoguht I'd say once again, this is one of my top five favorite CG works. Really cool, theme and rendering. Cheers!

[pboduch]

Photorealism is amazing.

That renderer rocks (not to mention the modeling and the texture).

I wouldn't use influence objects for the knees though. Too slow. But might not matter given the 1 pose. Maybe a blendshape or 2.

Rock on.

I just found this thread by doing a search with the keyword Peru, man I did not see this coming. It's really encouraging to see other peruvians doing things like this, very inspiring.
I hope every aspiring 3D artist in Peru has had the chance to check this out, this guy has single-handedly raised the bar of 3D modeling in an entire nation.

[LiveToDesign]

This is amazing, not to mention the fact that this is one of my fav sculptures. You even added more detail than the original artist. The veins in the hand are not even in the sculpture. Job well done. Details, lighting...just amazing.

[GRK7]

Wonderful, wonderful, fantastic, amazing job.
I saw this in the d'artiste Character Modeling book, and now I was pleasantly surprised to see it. Excellent!

[sergiox]

I´ve seen a lot of pictures of the original one cause I've done a tesis about it 20 years ago. What could I say? You are a master.
Only one thing: I'd like to see a model of your own imaginary world...

[kmassey]

I am very impressed. How long did it take to put this together? If you are like me, you probably are not only seeking a thousand pats on the back but direction to improve your work.

Two details stood out that you want to analyze: the rib-cage of Christ and the distance between the back of the thigh and the front of the thigh at the knee. Take a caliper or a ruler and measure these in your own body and compare this measurement to the measurement of your lower leg, hand, and foot. You can also go to morphmet and get a biological anthropologist to analyze the biometrics. You will find that these two details have room for improvement.

I want to make sure you know that I still think your work is impressive!
====================================================================
Estoy bastante impresionado. Cuánto tiempo te tomó armar esta pieza? Si eres como yo, probablemente no sólo estás buscando mil palmadas en la espalda, sino también estás buscando manera de mejorar tu trabajo.

Hay dos detalles que resaltan con un detenido análisis: la caja torácica (particularmente las costillas) y la distancia entre la parte posterior y la parte anterior del muslo a la altura de la rodilla. Te recomiendo que utilices herramientas escultóricas tales como un cáliper o una regla para medir la relación proporcional de estas partes del cuerpo y las compares con el tamaño de tu pierna, tu mano, y tu pie. También puedes ir a morphmet y pedirle a un bio-antropólogo que analice tus datos biométricos. Encontrarás que estos dos detalles definitivamente pueden mejorar.

Aún así, quiero asegurarte que estoy bastante impresionado con tu trabajo!

This work is best modeling job ever shown here! :applause:

Materials and rendering are also great but this work doesn't give too much space for splendor as it shows that Vladimir is above everything else, the master 3D modeler!

Oh my good Lord!!
This is perhaps one of the finest, if not THE finest modelling achievement! Absolutely amazing, stunning, ubelieveable. I'm short on words. All Hail Sire, All Hail!!

As I said before, this is the work I like most among all others. :buttrock:
However, I just wonder and ask Vladimir would it not have been a better work if he had add a background like on this photo?

This is not a criticism, just an idea which may be useful. :rolleyes:
It could bring new life to this masterpiece, some fresh air and don't need much effort to achieve it.
