[flaeticia]

Héhé... I wil try then... not easy to find time at home :scream:

Would you want that I lend you Julien ? With the resumption of the school, he is ... still finally ... I let you guess :D :bounce:

The low part... the blocks of stones are cut to receive the beam having to support the balcony.

[nandlaskar]

Hey Lemog, nice work on those details!... the only thing I have to say for now, and excuse me if I'm wrong, is that you shouldn't have rigid edges likes those in the top of the main column and soft edges in the others... I think you should decide for just one aesthetic. Great job.

No the problem, you're completely right, but I don't have re work again over this part yet, because I will finish it according the assembly and the superposition of the stairs elements.
I hope that will be appropriate to you when will have finished it.
Thanks a lot for this good comment :thumbsup:

[Gunilla]

As for your big modeling project of the chatedral of Rheims... I really hope you come around to do it some day, it would be spectacular indeed. And, you do need to make plans for after getting retired, don't you? :)

The detailing is coming on beautifully, but I didn't expect anything less ;)

[ihamid]

damn man ur going to finish this too soon and end the fun! :D btw beautifull work specialy the detailed work on the collums!

cheers!

[Ordibble-Plop]

Such a shiney floor - have the monks been scrubbing hard?

Just a little thing - I wonder if maybe you should mirror one of the columns to preserve the symmetry (the spirals both go the same way)?

[Lemog]

It's also a reason which makes that I would not begin this project too quickly, I benefit from time to collect some documentations.

but I would also like to associate it a true cultural project, and true a historical step. So that this reconstitution is not only for the beauty of the work, not only for the love to make 3d, and especially not considered as a technical prowess. And also a real project of discovered and knowledge, architecture, royal sacrings which proceeded there during many centuries, great historical stages, the role of the building from the point of view of the religion, also compared to the people, those which built it, all the sufferings which are associated there, also of the devastations of the 2 last world wars.

[Lemog]

yunisirees -> I reassure you immediately, it will remain me still much of work, I envisaged to don't exceed a month for architecture, and installations, and I think that will not be too much. Perhaps still 1 month more to work on the principal character, and a last month to work on environment, mood, details, and magic effects...... then, the spectacle should not stop too early. In the contrary case, I would launch out in the challenge 2d because that would like to me also much. :beer:



Ordibble P. Lop -> no mate, no symmetry for the columns, because we are in a dungeon, there will be columns all around of the circular room. Thanks a lot for your interest. :bowdown:

[[wr]JeFf]

Nice Beginning...

As usual, you have nice documentation, she comes from internet or a book ?

[(o)ne]

love this style :)

[ihamid]

yeap! i also think i'll join the 2d ones or rather if i finish the 3d one... me wanna learn to draw too!:)

[Lemog]

JeFf']Nice Beginning...

As usual, you have nice documentation, she comes from internet or a book ?
:thumbsup: Description of Coucy Castle of the "medieval encyclopedia" and "mobilary raisonned dictionary" by Viollet-le-Duc and an other book more generalist about creations of the XIXth century.



love this style :)
well thanks... very opposite style between it and your space board design... I can't imagine them together... :scream: hahaha

[(o)ne]

well thanks... very opposite style between it and your space board design... I can't imagine them together... :scream: hahaha

but it doesn't mean that I don't like classic :thumbsup:

[calisto-lynn]

hiya! wow!this looks nice...i like it alot!:thumbsup:

[Lemog]

Stepan -> I didn't say that my friend... and besides, being young, I was rather strong in skate board :scream: (a spectacular red board...) :banghead: hahahaha

[mmoir]

Hey Lemog,
I see you have chosen your concept, thats a tough part . I like your dungeon modeling so far, when the textures are applied it will look great I am sure. The Concept is very interesting only if I were this eager for knowledge when in school, I am looking forward to how this comes together.
I agree about the previous comment about the rounded column tops and also think the bottom of the column where it meets the floor could be less rounded.

Good job so far:thumbsup:

[Rebeccak]

The Lemog,

Had a chance to look at your website a little more closely today, and wow, you're like a 3D genius!!! :bounce::eek::love::applause::D
Amazing work, you are sure to do well in this Challenge! :bounce:

How do you make the columns look 'soft'?

Cheers, :)

That is a wonderful vision for a project - and also a very good description of what you're doing here for the challenge, isn't it? It's all about love for the culture and knowledge ... very sympathetic, I wish you all the best :)

[eddieellis]

some sweet detailing mate... watching for more

[Lemog]

Calisto -> Very glad you like that, thanks :bowdown:




mmoir -> thanks for your comment... about the low part of the column, at the junction with the floor, I don't see exactly the thing that disturb you... the form ? I'm just inspiring by an existing form... of column base... don't know... :blush:




Rebecca -> Thanks to take time on my website... but "genius" is really too "strong" for me... just a passionned guy... you can find other "real" 3d genius in the CgTalk page... and I don't have this same level... I just trying to do a better things at each new picture... not always easy, but certainly always a real challenge... one of goals of my life. :p

About the soft look of the columns... nothing complicated... an half-sphere of point light in depthmapshadows and a principal spot... with a low-mid quality of sampling (and it's faster like that, practicle for render wip...), that permit to obtain this soft/grany look... that's all... :arteest:



Gunilla -> Thanks for your wishes about the cathedral project... but sincerely, I don't thing to start before few years... well now... updates... :wip:




eddieellis -> :beer:

[Elendil_le_Grand]

J'adore le style que tu as choisi y a un petit velouté sur les images qui est vraiment agréable ;)

[Versiden]

[Lemog]

flaeticia -> I know why... pleasure and passion... only ! :thumbsup:



gpepper -> tranquillos penardos... :beer:

Thanks mate... about my worklow, I'm obliged to do like that... I only can work on this project few minutes by day... between my job, my family life, my sleeping time... then, I try to do a part each day, and each day, a couple of rendering to give me the force to continue :scream:



Great models of course - the Lemogmachine seems well tuned these days
Slow but efficient machine in fact :wavey:




Lovely ... absolutely - and it looks so fun! hmm, perhaps I need some architecture too...

The next challenge ? :D

Thanks for you interest... et je retourne bosser aussi... :twisted:

Now a little rendering of the library inside the "niche" of the wall.

[collings]

Ah lemog what can i say ... it's just great, i can't critic work like that !

[(o)ne]

it's too bad..I can't see what to crit :thumbsup:

[JamesMK]

Yes, very niche :D

[DimitrisLiatsos]

Gnarrff...The French NUT knows his stuff....nothing to crit...very nice "niche" :D

[icedeyes]

I had to come by and say that you are creating beatiful models for this challenge lemog... Very nice work my friend...


have fun..

[Lemog]

Many thanks to you all... collings, (o)ne and icedeyes



And for James and Dimitris... I don't know what can I say... maybe the good translation about "niche" ?

Damned... It's only a hole in a wall... usually not very large... something which permit us to put something inside... I don't know exactly... it's "niche" in french... :p

But if you prefer, I can spell that "insidewallhole" :D :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

How much challenge will it be necessary that I make some progress in english ? :scream: hahahaha

[DimitrisLiatsos]

Well...let me think...about 10-20 more challenges may improve your "niche"...errr...English.:scream:

Damned... It's only a hole in a wall... usually not very large... something which permit us to put something inside... I don't know exactly... it's "niche" in french... :p

LMAO, chill, Laurent, it's actually the same word in swedish too (slightly different spelling though, and I'm sure we stole the word from you frenchies originally anyway).... aaaaaand I think it's exactly the same in english to be honest :D

[JamesMK]

Main Entry: 1 niche
Pronunciation: 'nich, ÷'nEsh
Function: noun
Etymology: French, from Middle French, from nicher to nest, from (assumed) Vulgar Latin nidicare, from Latin nidus nest -- more at NEST
1 a : a recess in a wall especially for a statue b : something that resembles a niche
2 a : a place, employment, status, or activity for which a person or thing is best fitted b : a habitat supplying the factors necessary for the existence of an organism or species c : the ecological role of an organism in a community especially in regard to food consumption d : a specialized market

[Larsen]

En plus d'etre talentueux tu sais tres bien tailler la pierre ! :D

The architecture is looking very nice so far and solid ! I can't wait to see more details !

Go Lolo Go ! :buttrock:

[Lemog]

Thanks for these good explanations James... now I'm reassured... I can put much nice niches everywhere in my scene... pfffffffff :D hahahaha

The more funny, it's that you never heard my french accent :scream: :banghead: veury feuni...

hahaha! I was going to say something nice about your niches ... but now I don't dare to :D

Seriously - this kind of architecture is really your niche :D

[SONIC-X]

Those textures are realy awesome dud.Very nice.

[Rebeccak]

Lemog,

I think this is looking Nichetacular!! :thumbsup: It's really cool, it's kind of like watching a castle getting built brick by brick, poly by poly, niche by niche :D ~ should be amazing to see how suddenly are 25 of these, a vaulted ceiling, flying contraptions, and more Nichetacular things! :bounce:

Cheers, :)

~Rebeccak

[el-newty]

Wow Lemog, this is truly amazing !!! :buttrock:
Keep it up like this ;)
Cheers.

Seriously ? :banghead: :banghead: hahahahaha

Thanks a lot... but you know... for the moment, no really textures... only bump map and colors... but maybe it's a good way :scream:

No a major update... just a rendering with some "textures" tweaking... better now.
This evening,I must start to work on the door of the "niche"...

...but a door which will not close the door to the knowledge ;-)

[JamesMK]

A small niche for one man, but a giant NICHE for human kind

[Rebeccak]

Nichetacular... :eek: I don't know if I can push more my nichetacular project... niches always are ended with a wall which prevents from going further :D hahaha

Hmm, wouldn't that be Nietzschetacular? :D :scream:

A small niche for one man, but a giant NICHE for human kind

ROFL! :scream:

[agou]

At least, I've learned an English word during this challenge-even if it's in fact an English word which comes from French.
Niche nice -er- nice niche!

[SuperXCM]

Waouwww nice update.... like the modelisation and "textures", it give a feeling of solidity... very cool, subscribe and waiting to see more!!


:beer:

[claudiojordao]

Wow Lemog, that's all I have to say for now!

[Llynna]

really sweet laurent :)

i really envy you *gg*. i would never be able to do that in such a short amount of time.

the thing that is bothering me is, the holes on the top and the bottom, the look so straight and like made from someone of Bauhaus^^. in my opinion they dont fit in the design very well. if you could make the edges of the holes more round it would do i think. but thats all just my opinion^^.

have you thought about the colour scheme? you kept it very well grey *gg*. but since this is 3d you can do it after you have modelled all the things anyway. i sometimes tend to forget.

keep up all the great work :)

[Nomad]

Really nice work :thumbsup: I`m impatient to see a whole wall in this style :bounce:

Keep up the grand art :arteest:

[aliasali]

yeah,bring it on,Lemog!:D nice job

[Lemog]

At least, I've learned an English word during this challenge-even if it's in fact an English word which comes from French.
Niche nice -er- nice niche!
Yep... really... we can learn many things here... great qualities website :thumbsup:

You're right... solid like a stone... all is verified :scream:

About these holes... they're are here only to receive pieces of wood with square section... none report with bauhaus or over fantastic style like that... I can reassure you... I hope and a little bit sure that will be less disturbing when you will see the next step... with these woods pieces, which maintain the balcony.

About the tone style, for the moment, I've just play during the modeling cession... some test, without real textures, only bump map... that can change during the creation steps. But I have a precise goal, as I've said before, it's to have a grey mood for the environment...then, not so much colored textures or shaders.

Thanks a lot Britta for your interest :bowdown:

[DaddyMack]

Wow Lemog, I only just dug up your new concept... A fine choice and it should be most interesting to see the execution of it... BTW your process models are stunning alone;) keep the greatness going!

I see a possible issue where the mid height plinthe tops are intersecting the support columns... it detracts from its believability imo

Good luck with this great concept my friend!

[Lemog]

Really nice work I`m impatient to see a whole wall in this style

Thanks... me too :scream:



yeah,bring it on,Lemog!:D nice job
Thanks a lot Ali :thumbsup:

[Llynna]

ah, then i was a bit premature^^. i think a balcony is a real great idea :) really waiting for the realization of this.

i sometimes tend to forget about the unique treatment of 3d^^, but i have at least now learned what the different map types are *gg*.

be assured that i am really interested in your piece and your effords with it and as i stated earlier if there is something i am able to help you with, be most welcome to ask. :bounce:

Here a part very important and very interesting for me.

For 2 reasons.

The first, an aesthetic reason, because I like much this style of flowered arabesques.

The second, is a evocative reason, because this door closes a library of the knowledge and culture, like preserving them, but without however really closing it, because it's has "clairvoie", therefore never truly closed, which makes knowledge accessible to everyone.

[Tremoside]

Nice ideas behind the work. Your update design style also makes me wonder. All these details from letter to model than presentation...simply wonderful. So if you plan to make a printed Lemog WIP album...count with me my friend. But for first: don't forget to sleep sometimes :-)

Excellent ornaments on the gate! Fits perfectly!

[Shortgrey]

Tres bonne idee, cela me fait penser au nom de la rose....

Good luck to you.

You have such a nice way of putting things! You should write a script for a film or animation...with the special The Lemog charm! :scream: Seriously... :)

Beautiful gate...it's so exciting to watch! :)

love the gate a lot.:bounce:
beautiful and meaningful.cheers.:thumbsup:

[Lemog]

So if you plan to make a printed Lemog WIP album...count with me my friend. But for first: don't forget to sleep sometimes :-)

You make me think to somrthing, I have a french friend and other all a fan of my work... and each new project, he make a PDF file with all wip pictures, very simpathetic guy :scream:
Don't be afraid about my sleep time, for the moment, I don't work so much on the project, I will like to do a little bit more, but life is like that... there's also another important things to do :)



Tres bonne idee, cela me fait penser au nom de la rose....
Good luck to you.
Thans for your comment, I'm very touched my this comparaison :thumbsup: great movie so far !

Thanks "fangirl" :scream: maybe you're right, but I love so much to create image, and I don't think to have the similar feeling and pleausure when writing a story, maybe when I will be old... tomorrow ? :twisted: hahahahaha



love the gate a lot.

Beautiful gates, I really love this style for architecture - and these are looking reall good!
Lovely description also, very poetic, and right to the point :)

I'm beginning to see this room evolve now - very interesting. What will be the addition for today? The stairs? :bounce:

The door in it place with its support... I've obliged to reduce a little bit the number of polygons of it... the difference is not really visible... but now, it's lighter...

Thanks... I love too this vision... finally, we can resume by the "protection of knowledge" :scream:

Today... some rendering of this gate... support for the balcony are started, and paving armature... and if I have some times, I'll try to finish the inside parts of the niche...
I think you begin to know me really good girl, you know that I always planified my work of the day :D
And maybe the first wallpaper :bounce:
Have a nice day Gunilla :wavey:

haha - yes by now I think I know what to expect ... a new piece for the puzzle each day. It's a good way to build up the tension for the final, very clever:thumbsup:

A wallpaper - yes! Now that is truly your niche, right? :scream:

just sweet :) waiting for walpapers

[Ultemate]

Great work!:thumbsup:
May be need to make longer rods in the bottom of a gate, almost down to the ground, that would be impossible to make the way under a gate. :)

That is totally one of the nichest gates I've seen in a long, long time, Laurent :thumbsup:

Hey Friend

you work a lot on this...! right?! :scream: ha ha ha

Dude i love your style. This Dungeon is gonna to be looking awesome.
Extreem great models so far!

Yes... and each day... much polygons... I must take care... that will be my real tension soon :scream:

A wallpaper - yes! Now that is truly your niche, right? Maybe my future job... WallpaperMan :eek: hahaha

Yogi ? not at all... and the worst, it's that I'm not very patient in usual :scream:

Yes... really sure... I like to regularly make rendering of the progress of the work to preserve my motivation. :)

Good point for you mate... when you speak about this "bump"... for the moment, it's adapted to this style of rendering, but I'm not sure to keep it in the future... when I will add final textures, final setup and so... we will see... thanks for your comment Roshan.





Ahhhh.... Why isn't there a smiley icon for "fainting with admiration"? :)
Maybe this one... http://lemog.club.fr/icogif/falling.gif hahahaha

In fact, my reactivity depend totally of my type of my works... I'm in my job actually, I'm working on much sceneries with lot of small render tests... during these moments... I can check the message... and also thanks to the bi-proc :thumbsup: very practicle to do many things in the same time...

The wood pieces which maintain the balcony floor.

You can remark the metal part with head form at the end of the wood...

[gu]

this steps of architecture modelling will end in a fabulous and detailed scene, best luck!

[sergioKomic]

Everything here (as always) has a lovelly "feel" to it! *****

You created special "sheets" for each post....

Great great great

(meaning Nut Nut Nut) :eek:

[SweD]

huhu ! good idea the head ...but in your final size, with the camera angle on the concept sketch, can we really see them ? !
in the same time a close up on the wood piece give us a close up on the ferronery too ! radicaly beautiful ! :buttrock:

[Rebeccak]

The niches are growing! :scream: So cool to see the heads on the ends of the poles...this is like Christmas, every day! :scream:

[Agamemnwn]

Yes everything comes together now :D . One question about the wood that has the metal head in the end. how is it connected to the wood ? IMHO it would look better with some kind of connection on the metal part with the wood part. Some screws a plate something. Now to my eyes it looks like the wood and the metal part are the same material.

[(o)ne]

I repeat (if you forgot) - I just love this style. Now stop it :scream:


:) waiting for updates

[JamesMK]

(meaning Nut Nut Nut) :eek:
Sounds to me you've got the picture :D

[xric7]

very nice design.love the heads a lot.:bounce:
cheers.

[Nomad]

Exellent progress, I have nothing to say... you`re making spectacular details :eek:

[monsitj]

hey! your metalic door is awesome! after finished this challenge maybe you can make money with your new collection of architect model cd! :twisted: no critics man! good work!:thumbsup:

[DaddyMack]

Thanks for your words Daddy... just don't really understand about the prob with the support columns ? I just hope that will seem better when all details will be finishing... :)

There's no real prob Lemog, it looks stunning! I've worked in stone and just noticed this
http://www.brainchilddigital.com/misc/plinthe.jpg
I just thought that, while it adds a nice detail, the plinthe top (horizontal slab) intersecting the uprights detracts from the credibility a little because it would be impractical to create in real life... Feel free to ignore me tho, I've spent too much time with stone and I'm still on drugs... a minor detail my friend;) Keep that greatness flowing:thumbsup:

[pushav]

Nice progress so far.

[arLutiK]

Wow Laurent amazing modeling so far, but coming from you I'm not suprised awesome work.

[Lemog]

Gus_clifton -> Thanks Gustavo



SergioKomic Di Caprio -> To be Nut is my way of life :scream:



Swed -> Well... if they heads are not visible at the end, it's not a real problem for me... but normally, they will be visible. In first, I do that for the pleasure, and I can assure that in my job... I don't loose time to create invisible pieces...



Becca -> How don't know exactly how come this head idea...



Agamemnwn -> in my delirious, I had envisaged fixing these metal headson wood with nails... but with the scale of vision, for sure, those are obviously invisible, congratulations for your talents of observation Jannis.



(o)ne -> re-thanks... I don't forget... hahaha... I finish to answer at all these kind words, and I will post update before my little night of rest.



James -> :eek:



Thitipon -> Thanks... these heads are in fact in very low poly you know... I must take care to the number now...



Nomad -> I don't know if "spectacular" details can be judged at the final... hahaha... Thanks Maciej and good holidays



Monsitj -> you're certainly right... and for the cd title, maybe : "built your medieval house" ? haha :thumbsup:



DaddyMack -> Well Robert, now I understand... you're totally right... I don't remember this part not finished, or forgotten. I fact, I've planed to put some statues at the top of these littles columns... small statues of monks, they should partly have hidden the connection. But I completely forgotten this detail. :shrug:

And sincerely, I don't know if I would do them, the environment is already charged, I would see a little later. In any case, thank you to have noticed this big error. Cheers ! :thumbsup:



Verdell -> Thanks buddy :buttrock:



ar Lutik -> "I'm not suprised awesome work." ? Thanks a lot, but are you really sure... ? my preceding results are there to prove it, :deal: hahahaha
I have still much progress to do. It's certainly one of the reason why I persist here.


Well, now update... and bed...

First paving test... based on an original medieval paving.

I work on it only in bump map, in the same style that the rest, but I'm not sure that will be a real good idea... I will go to do some other test with the real texture... certainly better...

Seeya... and thanks to you all my friends... girls and guys...

Your incredible support and your fantastic interest for my participation touch me a lot... and that push me much... MANY THANKS...

[Elendil_le_Grand]

C superbe :)

J'adore tes dernières images, c pas constructif mais c vrai :)

hi lemog those a just amazing detai... i mean just not up to the standard ..total crap;)
cheers!:D

[JamesMK]

First paving test... based on an original medieval paving.

I work on it only in bump map, in the same style that the rest, but I'm not sure that will be a real good idea...
Actually think it works really well on those parts. Just tweak the basic shader a bit though, because it looks a bit plastic right now... but the 'bump-only' approach is interesting, and it does look good!

[Agamemnwn]

thanks for your kind words laurent :D really appriciate this. seeing you guys working on this challenge makes me eager to participate but i want to finish my pocket watch first and then i will enter this challenge and try my best. :D :D ty

[Rebeccak]

Wow, so cool! It's like watching the mind of an architect or engineer. Lemog fans, unite! :scream::love::D :applause:

[Llynna]

wow go niche :buttrock::love:

you are really damn fast my friend.

for today i have only one suggestion: this all looks so damn new, maybe you should make it a little bit more weathered to symbolize the might of the knowledge hidden within. not cracked or so but some kind of hm wisdom of age. am totally nuts to speak of wisdom of age from stones

*wahh* the smacks head on stone smiley is gone -.-. curious thing that is, sometimes there are these smileys and sometimes others...... hm..........

[feerik]

Bon courage! :) ca m'a l'air bien parti

[mmoir]

Hey Lemog,

You have some nice texture stuff happening. Iis the centre part of the balcony on the left side in your last image not a little too low. The wood centre accent floor is lower compared to the medievil paving stone on the right, shouldn't they be the same.

Your image is shaping up to be great.:thumbsup:

[Ramtin]

great and for now , no need to any crit and comment . just waiting for more progress .goodluck ...

[rattlesnake]

eeekkkcchh!!plaaaMMMM!!! fall of my chair mate..your details on the textures are awesome..u already know that frined!!:thumbsup:

[romelalgo]

Awesome progress, but I don`t understand which is the concept sketch.

Maybe the concept with the stairs.

Please explain to me.

[arLutiK]

Laurent we all have progress to do, but where I'm not suprise is the amount of details you gor for, that's what I like about you just go wild, your mother earth was nuts for the amount of details, but I have to admit that this image is less chaotic so we can actually appreciate the details even more, that gate is cool, I'm working on a Waka (Maori canoe) and they're like you for details they put alote, great work so far.

[Lemog]

Elendil le Génial -> pas constructif, maus ça fait foutrement plaisir.... merci beaucoup Nicolas...



Yunisirees -> hahahaha :scream:




shtl -> Thanks for your words my friend Corentin.




JamesMK -> You're right, you point exactly the tyhing I don't like, the plastic aspect... 2 solutions, work more on the material... or used the real textures I've planed before to put on it... I post nearly some new render test. Thanks for your advice James.




Agamemnwn -> I just discover your pocket watch... hey... fantastic work Jannis... I like that... for sure, with all these details, that rocks...




Becca -> Finally, my pleasure in that, it's to re-create something, without think "technicity" of our tools, our 3d tools... just to keep the vision of the builder, of the architect, and so...

Polygons or technics are secondary in this thread, for many reasons... I'm not a champion of 3d technic, and I prefer to display and watch a pleasany picture than a snapshot of the software viewport... I can't change I think, and I understand I'm worse at each challenge... eark...

Finally, I think that these many steps of wip are more important for me than the final picture. I'm afraid to work for a picture during 3 months and don't have as memories only this final image, in my case, I can see behind and watch another time all these wip pictures.

And if I can give again more pleasure to the spectators, it's better, and the goal will be obtained. Often if finally at the end, this image don't win. I would remain finally gaining of a personal challenge, most important thus.




Llynna -> I would work more on the aspect of the stones, wood and materials in general when I would be more advanced. These adjustments will change inevitably with the type of lighting, and also a little according to the framing, then, for the moment, I would return more in detail in a few days.

But a thing is certain, the decoration will be unified more to preserve at the subject its attraction. It's only the environment intended to plant the decoration, not the principal subject of the scene. Thank you very much for your opinion Britta.




feerik -> Merci Joel :thumbsup:




mmoir -> it's just a render test for this paving stones, but of course that they will be identical Mike, finally, not completely, identical but different. Thanks for comment.




Ramtin -> you're always welcome mate :wavey:




Jorge -> mmh mmh... take more care about you ass my friend... just stay with us on your chair... and always thanks to come here. :cool:




Romelalgo -> just for you, this is the story about my concept...
"Plunged in the culture".
The history occurs in what we supposes being a keep used like a library. Thousands of books are laid out around, on many stages. We sees many balconies and many staircases. A young man (or a girl) is here, avid there of knowledge and culture. His arms are charged with a lot of books. An important book and very coveted, seems to be extracted violently from the opposed library, above the hole. The young man springs to catch this important book, in a spectacular jump "to the culture and knowledge", but which will involve it in the hole, and to his death.




ar Lutik -> you're right for the moment... this scene appear now less chaotic than the picture in the previous challenge... but It's not finish... I always can fall in the dark side you know (and I remind you that chaos was integral part of the history of "Mother Nature".) Anyway, big thanks for your kind words... Before to go to sleep... I just see your whale... but now you're working on the Waka... good, I must see that soon...

Well... finally, I prefer to keep my first idea about paving textures, the real ones seem better. I hope you like too. ;-)

[shtl]

up to you :)
but maybe then less saturated, they look a little overcontrasted like this? Depends on the rest of the scene...

hahaha - seriously this looks fabolous - I think both methods could work fine ... perhaps I preferred the previous.
Much to do at the office today - just had to come by to do some fainting :thumbsup:

[Lemog]

shtl -> yes... maybe you're little right (or totally)... for the moment... I'm yet using a desatured version... cause the original ones are more satured... with the historical proof... but I think with the framing, the perspective and the balustrad, that can be good... don't know exactly, I'm certainly obliged to wait a little that I will more advanced... thanks for advice Corentin. :thumbsup:



Sergio -> and one greek less in this challenge then.. :scream: hahaha



Gunilla -> I note you prefer the first... I keep that in a little hole in my mind... :bounce: thanks girl !

Veeeeerrrryyy nice Lemog !
Isn't the bump texture of the wood a bit too strong ?
I realy like the tone of the picture. As usual you're making the right choice on the colors .
I love it .

See you plus tard

[tlggungor]

Good details I love details...:thumbsup:

[Agamemnwn]

Hi Laurent, Thanks fot making the detail on the head clear :D :D i was wondering about the pavement on the balcony. I think it depends on the final image who much you want them to stand out. The second image stands out more and your eyes almost imidiatelly go there. I would think that it would distract the focus on the main character because its that saturated with color. on the other way this maybe because of the difference it has with the other materials already in the scene, because they are less saturated. As for the pavement tilling i would say that i looks better if it repeats itself as the gate in the ornament does. This will give the "same chronology effect" and not distract the eye from the main character in motion. IMHO

Tolga -> :bowdown:



Jannis -> you understand well, finally, the good choice about this paving will give by the last framing... it must don't disturb so much eyes of the principal subject. I keep like that for the moment... I'm waiting more. Thanks for your interesting words.

James -> you know, forster is not a stroing enough beer for me... then, I can permit me this recycling :scream:

jddog -> if you want the same wallpaper for one of your creation, or for your home, just don't be afraid to ask me Julien :hmm:


Gunilla -> I think I love these guys now... no sexe, no mind... and obeying... they are perfect friends ! :thumbsup:


Ramtin -> You're totally right about this bump... but the final framing will be finally very far of these head, then I must force this bump to keep something visible at the end. And for the moment, I'm just in modeling cession... final texturing setup will come later. Thanks for your good interest. :bowdown:



Ali -> Stop laughing mate... and go to work more on your project please... :D hahahaha


SuperXCM -> I can reassure you... more wallpapers comes... :wip:

You're right... to near of the camera... :bounce: in fact, if you watch the bump texture (previous page), you will see that this texture is not uniform... it's the choice...
Thanks for your comment.

[Rebeccak]

Lemog,

I think you need more to do...this Challenge is far too easy for you! :scream: I propose the Lemog Super Challenge 2005! Where the best of 5 of Lemog's 3D Challenge entries is chosen to be entered into the actual Challenge! :bounce:

Scarily, I think this is possible...:eek: :thumbsup: :scream:

[fgcity]

That's a cool look you are giving to the image. Like allot the gates :)

[Gunilla]

no sexe, no mind... and obeying... they are perfect friends !

And what do your real friends say about that description? :scream::scream:
But I agree , they work very well for all kinds of funny posing - perhaps they could be librarians? Just make them some robes and they'll be fine.

I don't know... in fact, I don't speak so much with my friends (in the real life) about my artistic/passion life... like that, no conflict possible... :)
But in fact, I don't want to control anybody, I respect too much the right of people. Fortunately, I have much friend here to share this passion, and I like much their mind...

I think that we will see these librarians very soon :scream:



Now... it's update time... I'm late... but I start my job very early today... 3 animations to finish for monday morning... well... :shrug:

Here it goes:

Thank you very much to all of you, who with all the critics, suggestions, commentaries, jokes and other forms of presenting your considerations about Lemog's work... inspired him in such a form, that looking at his work, truly inspire us back.

Thanks

[Agamemnwn]

Great update laurent :D :D .the onlycrit i have is about the ornament door . It looks a little flat like it has not much volume in comparisson to the gate lock. just my 2 cents. and another thing i was wondering who many levels of these stairs will it be?

[paperclip]

Great modeling, I really like the stairs, only change is I would make it much darker and shadowy...ooo...mysterious...evocative!

Keep it up, you're my favourite

Yes, I was just thinking about that - books! Would they be in the niches? I think they need to be quite dominant for the concept to come through clear - but I suppose you have a plan for it, right? I'm not clear about the different types of stairs you're thinking about ... what's a snail?

Waiting eagerly for the librarians :)

Cipher - Makaron - cláudio jordão - Dimitris - SONIC-X - Handlebar - Mhyrdin - Collings - SuperXCM - Madlight_1988... -> Well, so many friends here... thanks to your all, for your support and especially for your interest about my project, very kind. :love:



, and very atmospheric!
Atmospheric ? hahahaha "do I have a head of atsmosphere" ? It's certainly not funny in english, but that remain us a sentence in an old french classical movie...



the onlycrit i have is about the ornament door . It looks a little flat like it has not much volume in comparisson to the gate lock. just my 2 cents. and another thing i was wondering who many levels of these stairs will it be?
I think the scale between this 2 pieces is good... just think that this door is not very big... certainly you will have a better idea about the scale when the books are in the library. How many stairs visibles in this scene, certainly 4... the first for the action... one up, and 2 below...



Great modeling, I really like the stairs, only change is I would make it much darker and shadowy...ooo...mysterious...evocative!Don't be afraid by the actual aspect of rendering... in not the final one, just for the wip... mood will be certainly darker, and more mysterious... but that, it's an another story that I keep for the end.

Yes... you're right, books are a thing very important in the concept... and I've planed to start them at fhe beginning of the next week. Many old knowledges books...
About the staircase... I don't know exactly the name of these in english, some staircases wich turn around...
Librarians send small hello of their country to the sweet Swedish girl... :wavey:



(((me too ..........I want patience to see the final piece)))) good luck
Thanks to Petra guy to take time to come here :thumbsup:

Good luck for the next. ;)

[el-newty]

Beautiful modeling...
Beautiful details...
Keep the beautiful work further :thumbsup:

[romelalgo]

Hi Lemog, check the proportions of your racks.

The space in the wall and the otrher elements have bigger proportions.

Maybe your books have a 1 m. or 4 feet. I think this is big for a book.
Perhaps the racks should be 8 or 10 in the same place.

The decoration will not allow to remove books easily.

Cheers. Good skill. Are you architect, don´t you?

[Maxter]

Very nice work Lemog

I can see a great detail and clean modeling
Good luck!!:thumbsup:
