Hello !
I'm making a little Painted' based illustration in 3D, with a maximum account of polygons at 20 000 tris (I hope less than 15 000)
I guess everybody here knows Ghibli and Totoro, so I won' take too much time to explain the situation.

Mei, Satsuki and Totoro, in the greeeen greeen grass, living peacefully in a suuunny suuunny day, happy. I love this philosophy :hmm: "to be happy because we are happy, make us happy."

Environment :

Wire :

Starting Mei, 606 tris :

I'm not really used in that, so if anaybody has any clue about adding cell shaded shader into max7 viewport (with *.fx directx plug for example) I'm really interested in any help.

looking nice thus far man. I am curious though as to what the big green planes are in the background. Are they supposed to be hills or what? Right now they just look like squares.

this is looking very good, in the cartoony side ;) i believe the green planes will be somesort of mountains or summit, something achieved via alpha map, if im not wrong ;)

Nice choice! Ive wanted to make a 3d version of the bus stop scene from totoro for ages!

Fantastic work on the background, but mei doesnt look quite right yet. Her clothes are different, she looks older, and shes too tall. Plus, her head seems a little too round - mei's head is more squareish.
Get plenty of reference!
Keep it up though - it shows promise. The background is already off to a great start.

Check this guys work - its the best 3d ghibli character ive seen on this forum:

Thx for reply :hmm:
I tried to change Mei a little (more 'fat' and kid looking)
Here's an update with our beloved Totoro.
