More lenght... I have trying something more near to the Rebecca's idea... that appear very sweet and in the flow in side view... but the result appear very curious and less pleasant in front view... maybe this test... between the both... not much.

The last one for the moment... short nurbs version... with "franges"...


Now... I hope to find the "good" version in these different version... I really must stop to work on her... I must rest of her... and do other thing.

Thanks to you all for you great interest, greats comments and always incredible support... kisses...

[Gunilla]

To me it's an easy choice... number 4 without the belt is the most Mucha in my eyes ... also the one that brings her shape most to focus. The later, feathered typs are all very cool, but perhaps more ina twenties style of fashion.
Go with the fourth but drop the belt - that's my vote :thumbsup:

She's looking lovely now ... and now we want to see her in place!

[makaron]

nr 4... has my vote... :thumbsup:
the end of the dress is just perfect. And as our own CG-taylor, Gunilla wrote, show her shape.. but I want the belt to stay... :)

You have a good point Guni... with this remark... feathered version is more twenties style... totally right and evident now... and not the style searched...

More smooth you prefer... good... I note that... just add a seam above the breast part... that appear "more" finish now...

Thanks for advice lovely Gunie :love:

[Lemog]

hahaha... swedish girls are always the first to give good advice... cool for me... number 4 for you too... well... (I must send you the belt at home then... hahahah...) If that will be the last choice to do... that agree me anyway... that can comes in final framing without prob...

Thanks you too lovely Mona :love:

[Zapan]

hmmm... as a guy (hu Dimi and Sabrina ? hahahaha :scream: :D )
I vote without hesitation for the number 4 too.
The poly version is smoother which to me is better for the look of an angel.
Besides the flying shape gives more the "angel look".

With or without belt...

in the middle... yeeeeeeees... good... and thanks Cadet... it smell the end of her... I must find her a name now... and maybe present her to your Mr KnockOnWood... when the knowledge meet the force... I can't imagine the baby... just asking to Gunie... she know certainly... about babies... :scream: hahaha

[Zapan]

Hahaha yeah It will be an awesome kid or maybe twins one have strengh , the other one knowledge.... wait ... no, doesn't sound good , we're back to the initial place.:D
And what is the Knockonwood thing ?, didn't get that one , well obviously, knowledge isn't for me :banghead: :scream:

[daWinky]

No 4 for me:bounce: ...without hesitation, this is really looking good!:applause:

[Lemog]

Buté, borné, il agit avant de réfléchir... il a la tête dure comme du bois...

[Lemog]

No 4 for me:bounce: ...without hesitation, this is really looking good!:applause:

-sabrina

Already 4 on 4 advices for #4... it's a sign... 100% for the moment :bounce: Thanks a lot lovely Sabie :love:

[Zapan]

Buté, borné, il agit avant de réfléchir... il a la tête dure comme du bois...

Oh ok , got it now haha.
Yep I guess that would fit him well, maybe your angel could send him some books , eventhough I'm pretty sure he wouldn't get anything to the rune language :scream:
Bizarement je me sens des liens communs avec lui :banghead: :argh: :D

[imbusion]

I thought Rebecca's suggestion about the extra tendrils/fringes/whatever was superb, and the best example of that is in your number 5, BUT....

Upon seeing No. 4, my eyes popped out, and my decision was already made. The longer, flowing, gentle dress is my choice for sure. Excellent design on that one!

No. 4 for the win! all the way!

[makaron]

Oh ok , got it now haha.

I can take the books and run over to the hunk and translate those runs... :bounce: haha
spam, sorry, could not help myself...

i´m leaving at once... http://hem.bredband.net/makaron/guineapig35nx.gif

[Gunilla]

in the middle... yeeeeeeees... good... and thanks Cadet... it smell the end of her... I must find her a name now... and maybe present her to your Mr KnockOnWood... when the knowledge meet the force... I can't imagine the baby... just asking to Gunie... she know certainly... about babies... :scream: hahaha

Babies? Moi?! Lord forbid :surprised:scream:

The name... hmmm... Angelina? Nah, too obvious. I could of course suggest a highly uncommon swedish name... hahaha!

How about Pixie?

[Lemog]

Zapan -> some links with him ?... what kind ? mind ? physic ? :scream: hahahaha


imbusion -> I've the same feeling when I saw it too... but now that seem to be evident... thanks for advice Jeff :thumbsup:


makaron -> :buttrock: hahahaha... good mood today...


Gunilla -> uncommon swedish name ? that's sounds really good... ;) Pixie is really original... :thumbsup:

[aliasali]

heyy,look at that! nice progress,well,something like 30days to go,so,i'll be finishing 5days sooner!hahahaha....:Dgreat laurent,....

[SONIC-X]

Defenitly #4 for me also.

Keep up the good work.

[Lemog]

Madlight_1988 -> hahaha... that remain something mate... not ? :D but sincerely, I don't think to finish long time before you... :wavey:



SONIC-X -> #4 for you my friend... another one... that sounds as the good decision... good to ear... thanks my friend :beer:

[DaddyMack]

Wheyaah Lemog, what a run!.. The flows on 4 got me too mate;) Heading in a great direction... Can't wait to see her in context... Have you been peeking?

[Lemog]

Wheyaah Lemog, what a run!.. The flows on 4 got me too mate;) Heading in a great direction... Can't wait to see her in context... Have you been peeking?

Well... now... that's start to be sure for the version number 4... good news for this end of week... I can continue now... thanks a lot :thumbsup:

[Lemog]

Now... I think it's time to show you all the new evolution, the new story...


...sincerly, I hope you like this one better than the previous one. I think to have a good feeling with this one... as a new born... :cool:




As you know, I don't really know what I must choose between a young girl or a young boy...

Finally... I don't know if the knowledge attraction will be sufficient and also spectacular for our children... Knowledge is actually a real part of our life...

Other thing... the library done seem very closed... and that will be certainly better to offer some knowledge to everybody, exactly the contrary than a closed space.

The knowledge is based on old knows... I must find something between old and actual... with a strong contrast of time and place...

For the time's contrast and the opening... I imagine now this library as something really open... I can keep what I do for the moment... and the contrast of time will be give by the contrast of ruins of library... and a part of it... clean as the previous version, just 2 sections... with books... shelves... gate.

The contrast of place... can go with the contrast of culture... the end of the dungeon and the casttle spirit... that must be open... upwards and downwards... no more stairs than one.

Open upwards the sky... open downwards with the hole in the ground... as a well... as a knowledge's well... of course, we imagine it bottomless, as the knowledge.

Always to keep the contrast of place... the environment can be something as a forest... or maybe a jungle... a very dense forest... is something very dark... as the lack of knowledge.. and light comes of the library... of the Angel of knowledge where we can see the fly of knowledge, materialized with golwy blue birds, each oneth hold in their nozzle a different letter of Runes.

And any spectacle need for spectators, who will be the witnesses of the spectacular... these privileged spectators will be pigmés or aboriginals...

...when the culture meet the knowledge.

[DimitrisLiatsos]

Yes...it's awesome. No more words needed from me i think. :thumbsup:

[Gunilla]

:cry::cry::bowdown::thumbsup:

Beautiful! the idea is very good and will work well I think, bravo!
So... why don't you make us the spectators? The modern man so very far away from the ancient knowledge would be more in need of that sight ... just a thought.

The new concept ties everything together in a most elegant way - and I wont ask if you really have the time to do it. Oops - I just did that :D

This is going to be exciting to follow!

[SuperXCM]

Hi, great new story, can be more spectacular i think. Plus "grandiose"! :bounce:

Keep looking on your progress, waiting to see more.
Oh yes, and for the dress, number 4 for me! :arteest:

Keep it up!! :beer:

[scootermaya]

I vote 4 .
I seems to be the most complete to me

[Agamemnwn]

hi laurent,

havent look at the forum for the last couple of days and i need to catch up with the new ddevelopements . As for the dress variations i will go with n.4 its looks the best imho. As for the new story i think is amazing and really conveys the concept of spectacular :D . great job my friend :D

[rattlesnake]

hey mate!, i like option number 3..(i enjoy to be the opposite, lol, every one likes number 4, but dont listen to them:p)

ok about the new story, it sounds very amazing its just an exellent path to follow:wip:

love the open top and bottom idea, cant wait to see friend:applause:

[makaron]

Beautiful! the idea is very good and will work well I think, bravo!
So... why don't you make us the spectators? The modern man so very far away from the ancient knowledge would be more in need of that sight ... just a thought.

you can put photos of CGtalk-members there.. that would be a sight :wip:


but the new story seems intresting... gonna be fun to see how you realize that one...

[rattlesnake]

ah no i changed my mind..4 is the best..go for it mate!!:wise:

[mmoir]

Hey Laurant,

You are just zooming right along . I like #4 for the dress design although I like the bottom faded part of #3 better, it has a more feathery look .
Your scene is going to look great once done ..:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[SoniaNotRed]

Ah, the plot thickens! :wise:
...and the contrast of time will be give by the contrast of ruins of library...

Does that mean you're now going to ruin half the place? :curious:
I'm curious to see how this new idea develops. :drool:

PS - Good going with #4! :thumbsup:

[aliasali]

:thumbsup: well,its obviouse.this new Story rocks!

[Goul]

Well, it's was a while than i haven't do some step on cgtalks, in "vmlt" ("Values of measurement of the Lemog's threads"), i will say something about 30 or 40 pages :D

I was wondering what's going on here, and i'm not disapointed: a cool new story and you're nearlly done with the angel hehe :)
She looks great, really nice hair. I prefer the dress of the number 3 ;)

Something disturb me a bit, i don't know if it has been already asked (I haven't read all the replies, shame on me :rolleyes: ) , but i don't like the legs/sheet junction... You will maybe mask it with some fx, smoke or anything else..and if it is, forget this comment ;)
Otherway, you could also get the transition upper (as on a siren), or under the dress ;)
Just my opinion ;)

I will try to comme see what's going on more often :bounce:
Allez courage, on en voit le bout tout doucement :)

[daWinky]

Hi, Laurent, this new concept is a really good idea - but also seems to be pretty challenging to finish this just in time:eek: ...I know you are a fast worker and you can use all the stuff you made so far...so if you think you can make it: wonderful concept, much better than the last one in my opinion:thumbsup: ! Go with it!:bounce:


-sabrina

[nemirc]

Ah, the plot thickens! :wise:

PS - Good going with #4! :thumbsup:

me too :D :beer:

[Lemog]

Dimitris -> You like this story more... thanks... I don't search more then... :)



Gunilla -> haha... you like it too... your advice is always very important for me... good point.
About "us" as spectators ? I don't know... why ? simply as lot of spectator perhaps think they don't need to learn more, to need more knowledge... I know lot of guys wich think to already have the good manner to think, and the only good knowledge. I know they aren't the real good spectators for my pic, must I must think to them... to help them to understand the picture... ? not ?
But you're totally right... we all need more knowledge, we're the ideal spectators...


SuperXCM -> Thanks for advice Simon... new story and #4... noted



Scootermaya -> Thanks Michel... :beer:



Agamemnwn -> 4 for you... well thanks Jannis.



Rattlesnake -> It's your choice, number 3... it's surely a good choice, as it's near of the first version... Happy that you like the new story, thanks Jorge.



Makaron -> hahahaha... you're right dear... totally... and why not photos of CG judges... to be sure to don't have any award... :scream: hahahaha



Rattlesnake -> finally with less wrinkles... okay... you finally joined the majority... :bounce:



mmoir -> Thanks for your comment and your advice Mike, really appreciated... :bowdown:



Sonia -> Yes girl... I will go to ruin a part of the library... but not all... I must keep a clean knowledge part... something clean and pure... ok for #4... thanks... :wavey:



Madlight_1988 -> Thanks Ali, glad you like too the new story... finally, It's certaibly the good choice, just hope to have time to finish now... I'm late...



Goul -> About the transition, your feeling is certainly to the fact we're not near of the final framing... position where is put the differents sheets of paper... and in that was appear better... and about smoke or other things... yes, in the final scene... there's around her many magical stuffs... certainly good for that knid of details. Thans for you councils mate.



DaWinky -> Well... I think to have more envy to follow this way than finishing in time... I think that I can, even if I don't have lot of time to work on the project... I must trying in this way... In any case, even if the pic will be not finish... I can do anyway a quick finishing image before the end.


Nemirc -> :beer:


Normally, I will try to post something soon... I started to work this night on the new environment (no render for the moment)... not so much... because a problem with the baby... I finally sleep only 2 hours this night... :argh:

[Squibbit]

First step modeling for the new environment...

...the hole is the knowledge's well.

[Lemog]

Great going , as usual, u crazy workmachine :D.
Hahahaha... "workmachine"... I'm less productive than you mate... anyway thanks for your words my friend :thumbsup:

[jddog]

man... do you sleep sometimes ? hein ? :scream:
jdd

[Lemog]

man... do you sleep sometimes ? hein ? :scream:
jdd
Yes... sometimes... when the baby is okay... this guy is less easy to manage than this challenge my friend... :shrug:

[sergioKomic]

You changed concept 25 days before the end?


I knew you were crazy...... But this is NUTS
:buttrock:

[Lemog]

You changed concept 25 days before the end?


I knew you were crazy...... But this is NUTS
:buttrock:
No... not totally... the concept is always the same... knowledge ! but the story is different... the place is different. Now... there's not only a library in a dungeon... but an exterior environment... more story for a stronger story... perhaps more spectacular... 25 days ? only ? :scream: hahahaha
I can reassure you, I will finish it... before the deadline, or after... :thumbsup:

[nebezial]

hahaha just noticed sumthin..some of u guys really take their time to make these updates look nice..with the fraamee and the leeteerrss...hahaha maaan...thats waay too much for me..lol go lemog u nut!

[Agamemnwn]

great enviroment laurent . is that the well the spirit of knowledge will appear from. anyway got to go back to my work. Keep it up my friend always inspiring to see your work :D

[Lemog]

hahaha just noticed sumthin..some of u guys really take their time to make these updates look nice..with the fraamee and the leeteerrss...hahaha maaan...thats waay too much for me..lol go lemog u nut!
Hahaha... you know... there's something strange in Lemog... that doesn't disturb me to watch snapshot viewport on all the other threads here... but on mine... that's disturb me a lot... It's stronger than me, I can't post a simple snapshot... or a simple render with a poor lighting... :shrug:
Don't know why... maybe NUT ? :scream: hahaha



Agamemnwn -> Thanks for words Jannis... what, an update on your thread ? I don't receive any notification this time... I go to see that very soon :bounce:

[makaron]

Don't know why... maybe NUT ? :scream: hahaha
naaa... not maybe, Lemog... you are The Nut... :bounce:
and that hole seems like a exiting change... looking forward to more :)

[zman]

U must be a nutcase ...
so much work ya put into that library envierment and now ya decide to change it ... cant wait to see where that goes...

[Lemog]

Makaron -> hahaha... you too... you know me well :scream:


zman -> not complete change... I keep a port of the library... 2 or 3 walls, 2 shelves, columns and litte stones monks, balustrade, balcony, and staircase... just need more environment then.. ground, stones, trees and maybe other vegetation...
...thanks to stop here Ziv :thumbsup:

[(o)ne]

Lemog, I can see you changed some "details" too :applause: ...waiting for more :bounce:

[Lemog]

Lemog, I can see you changed some "details" too...waiting for more :bounce:
Yes mate... me too... times runs... and the concept too... certainly normal after already 2 months... :)

Before texturing... as I've done with the architecture part, I start to work on bump and displacement... to have the control of the matter, and only after to have the feeling about the color textures and the mood required.

Maybe change a little bit the stone appearance...

[(o)ne]

yes, I thought some days ago that 3 months is too much for me - ideas changing one another several times in this period, but I think in a better way. :D

The well looks very good! but maybe you can add some smaller stones on the ground?

[nandlaskar]

keep up the good work buddy:thumbsup:

[madshooter]

I like the new story, very nice start on modeling and texturing, Keep going dude:thumbsup: always there to support you:)

[aliasali]

hey Laurent,did u know u have ur own style of lighting! i havnt seen anywhere,that sounds great to me,and the rocky feelling is recieved! i think those stones in the second plan,are a bit weird,maybe thats becouse of theres no other stones in smaller and differnrt shapes around'em,by the way! great!:thumbsup:

[Lemog]

(o)ne -> You're right about little stone... in fact... I place the big stones in first, to place just after the big pieces of vegetation, as trees and roots... little stones are for the detailing time.
The part of backghround just behind the weel it very simple, because not a lot will be view with the library walls...


CUBISIS -> Thanks for your words Rishikesh :thumbsup:



madshooter -> I see that... incredible Roshan...:scream: :thumbsup: many thanks for your incredible support... you're always here dude :beer:

[Lemog]

You know... for the moment, lighting is very simple... always a kind of hemi-domlight... in depthmap shadows... colored... and 1 spot in RT... that's all... rendering with Maya softawe, nothing more... I must manage my old poor computer if I don't want to have some incredibles render time.
About stones in the background... yes... it's horrible... :scream: even if it will be not very visible at the end, I must fix that a little before continuing...
Thanks for your interest Ali... :bowdown:

[SoniaNotRed]

Yes girl... I will go to ruin a part of the library...

Cool! :thumbsup:

[Lemog]

Cool! :thumbsup:
Do you like destroy party ? :scream: hahahaha

[Gunilla]

Wow! I go away for some hours and a lot of things happen here! "The Lemogomotif" is running wild, I see :scream:
New steps are for sure turning things in an interesting direction - and when you add the precious library I believe it will work well together, well done I like this new turn :thumbsup:

About the spectators - I see your point, and I trust you'll find a good way for this as usual.

Have you finished your animation work or will you have to go without sleep until christmas?

[Lemog]

Wow! I go away for some hours and a lot of things happen here! "The Lemogomotif" is running wild, I see ?
Hahaha... I like this word : Lemogomotif :scream: hahahaha... Very good dear :thumbsup:



New steps are for sure turning things in an interesting direction - and when you add the precious library I believe it will work well together, well done I like this new turn
I must acknwoledge to be very curious to see the result too... I have the image in my mind, but will be the result similar ? big question...



Have you finished your animation work or will you have to go without sleep until christmas?
Not yet... deadline is for the nov14 and remain 6 scenes to do... I will have certainly 2 or 3 days of work late... and 1 week of rendering late... :shrug: but with that knid of impossible delays... I've done my best... and my computers too :scream:
And the worse... just after this film, I will have an another one... not with less work... to finish for the end 2005... :banghead: :cry:

...nex step... texturing of the ground and the stones... maybe start trees too...

[Zapan]

Ouh these rocks rocks :)

Well I'm dying of curiosity to discover the masterpiece that you're cooking in the back. I find a little bit hard picturing that great new story, well how you'll include every things done. But no contest it will be great
So keep rocking :bounce: :)

Just to understand better the story, the new environment and the global scale... a render of the beginning with a part of the balcony.

[Lemog]

Zapan -> I don't know if I'm cooking something good... I will try this way... and will see, thanks Cadet :)



Gunilla -> hahaha... I'm okay for the rubbersuit dear Gunie... of course... I'm waiting impatiently now... :drool:



DaWinky -> Thanks for wishes about the baby Sabrina... a night little better in the latest part... about the challenge... now, I must speed a little I mean if I want to finish in time :beer:

Visualact.com -> hahaha... you doesn't see the new story and of course, you can't understand my friend, I re-post is below... hope you like the new one...



DaddyMack -> yes... this well is the base of the dungeon, or rather, the middle part of the middle stair of the library... the knowledge's hole...



SuperXCM -> Happy that you like Simon... a good thing :thumbsup:



Maurodelia -> Thanks a lot to take take to come here, and also for your interest Mauro... great :bowdown:



Gpepper -> Hahahaha... you don't understand my friend ? you have miss the nuew story then... take a look to the text below, and all will be clear... :surprised



And now, I re-post the new story :

As you know, I don't really know what I must choose between a young girl or a young boy...

Finally... I don't know if the knowledge attraction will be sufficient and also spectacular for our children... Knowledge is actually a real part of our life...

Other thing... the library done seem very closed... and that will be certainly better to offer some knowledge to everybody, exactly the contrary than a closed space.

The knowledge is based on old knows... I must find something between old and actual... with a strong contrast of time and place...

For the time's contrast and the opening... I imagine now this library as something really open... I can keep what I do for the moment... and the contrast of time will be give by the contrast of ruins of library... and a part of it... clean as the previous version, just 2 sections... with books... shelves... gate.

The contrast of place... can go with the contrast of culture... the end of the dungeon and the casttle spirit... that must be open... upwards and downwards... no more stairs than one.

Open upwards the sky... open downwards with the hole in the ground... as a well... as a knowledge's well... of course, we imagine it bottomless, as the knowledge.

Always to keep the contrast of place... the environment can be something as a forest... or maybe a jungle... a very dense forest... is something very dark... as the lack of knowledge.. and light comes of the library... of the Angel of knowledge where we can see the fly of knowledge, materialized with golwy blue birds, each oneth hold in their nozzle a different letter of Runes.

And any spectacle need for spectators, who will be the witnesses of the spectacular... these privileged spectators will be pigmés or aboriginals...

...when the culture meet the knowledge.

Good luck with the new inviroment Lemog.It looks cool so far.

Good luck with the new inviroment Lemog.It looks cool so far.
Thanks Corrie... I hope to don't disappoint you with the result... for the moment, I'm really satisfied by it, really as it was in my mind... It's a good starting point for me, and a good motivation...
...I've passed much time of the angel... too much time... the less motivating part of this project finally... I don't have the patience to be long time on just one detail... I like when that's run a little fast.

[Agamemnwn]

the enviroment and the implementation of the old concept objects is looking really good laurent. Keep up the good work. Thanks for the support in my entry i really apriciate this. Working kind of hard with my thesis but i will manage :D

[Gunilla]

This new scene is making me really curious now ... so fun with this new twist!

I don't have the patience to be long time on just one detail... I like when that's run a little fast.

Yes that's clear to all - the Lemogomotif doesn't want to stay in the stable :scream:

You are running so well now, have a good time :thumbsup:

[Lemog]

Working kind of hard with my thesis but i will manage :D
I think there's lot of girls and guys very buzy here... we all have an other life beside the challenge and our passion... always obliged to manage something in fact...



Gunie -> Glad you like this new twist... My goal is to do an environment a little sad, too have a good contrast with the knowledge and the happyness to learn... nice day for you honey :wavey:

Stones and ground texturing... remember, I need something a little bit sad...

[SONIC-X]

That is awesome texturing work Lemog.I hope one day I'll be able to do it like that.

[nebezial]

oy lemog beware of overbumping it, decrease it a litle in the bg, cause like this it takes over the picture givin it more of a noise effect and less convincing shape information, it is awesome texturing my friend:beer:

[Lemog]

SONIC-X -> haha... thanks again Corrie, nothing complicated... just using procedural displacement, texture bump and mixed ground textures of my website... simple... just need to do some tests... and a little of experience...


nebezial -> thanks for advice mate, for the moment, I don't think to decrease it, cause you said it, it's the background... and it will be covered by vegetation... in fact, not so much vegetation, but much trees, very much trees sad trees... certainly without leaves (some dry lianas, and why not, some dry fruits as NUTS)... behind all these trees, and behind the library's ruins... just some little parts of background risk to be view... you will see Stjepan... and you will say me if the result will be good... thanks to take time for remarks buddy... :beer:

[makaron]

hope that all the greens and trees not gonna be a too hard of a nut to crack for you... :cool:
looks like a good start tho... gonna be nice to see the rest of the libary later...

[ThierryS]

Cool texture work Laurent, is this pure procedural or mixed with 2D work ?(sorry if this has been explained before,don't have time to read all the prev posts:D ;)) . Global update, when, when, when? It's becoming a headache to try recompose all your elements in one piece in my head right now, hehe!:arteest:

[Lemog]

hope that all the greens and trees not gonna be a too hard of a nut to crack for you... :cool:

I must finish the vegetation before adding all parts of library, in fact... maybe I will change some textures of it...don't know for the moment... but I have a little idea behind my Nut's head...

It's mixed Thierry... procedural for displacement, bump is a blend of procedural and map, 2dwork for color...
Global update... don't know... I must finish the trees and vegetation... ruined the library... and at this time... I can setup the architecture with the background (next week for the better)...
After that, I must work on the blue birds and flying runes, place the angel an create all magical effects...
without forgotten the pigmes... :banghead:
Well... that give us a global update in 1 or 2 months :scream: hahaha

[daWinky]

Fast and good work as always:thumbsup: . Nothing more to say at the moment...but I'm curious to see more...:) !

Daddy -> whaouw... your words are great for me... very kind... with its you give me force for the day... the force to rey to do more... thanks... your welcome Robert :bowdown:



Sergio -> "older" stuff ? :curious:


Jddog -> no mate... you will see why soon... this effect is planed to contrasted with other elements... well.. I hope :eek: hahahaha... thanks for the support Mr BuilderBreaker :p

Stop laughing Sergio... you... and your avatar :scream: hahahaha

Those trees are so sad it hurts my gardeners heart :cry:

But your thread is rocking good today :thumbsup:

Finally, something very simple as texturing for the sad trees, to keep some contrast with ground and stones...

[daWinky]

Yes, sad trees:) , but I know that you want this look, so I'm statisfied...and you achieve it that we are all following every new update with suspense: what will he do next:bounce: !


-sabrina

[Zapan]

and sad they are... :sad: :cry:

looks like some Tim Burton items...I really like that guy
Great work Laurent :bounce:

[Agamemnwn]

I think there's lot of girls and guys very buzy here... we all have an other life beside the challenge and our passion... always obliged to manage something in fact...


I know laurent and you are absolutely right, i am not complaining though. working with maya and creating things is relaxing for my part i am sure for everyone that is doing 3d or 2d or anything else with passion :D

Great work with the enviroment laurent. i really like the texturing of the rocks and the sad trees

[DaddyMack]

weepy indeed my friend:cool: Great subtle tex too... They lose a little credibility with some of the top branches being thicker than the trunk tho IMO unless there's a reason for it?

Rock on:buttrock:

[Lemog]

daWinky -> with suspense... I don't know that but that's agree me... thanks to continue to follow the story girl :bowdown:



Zapan -> Thanks for the reference Cadet... I really like this guy :arteest:



Agamemnwn -> you know, actually, I work in 3d for 12 hours by days in my buzy job... and when I continue to do 3d more times in this day, that continue to be very resting too... passion is always stronger. :bounce:



DaddyMack -> the reason... maybe there's three reasons in fact...
- the first : I watch many documentation about australian and african types of trees, cause I've planed to have a mix between the both (remember the story, with pigmes or aborigenes)...
- the second : I dreamed of this shape...
- the third : for the moment, it missed the little branches more... I'm waiting when all trees will be in the scene to add that only on the foreground trees, if it's really necessary...
Thanks a lot Robert for your interest and your advice. :thumbsup:

Alex.h. -> thanks my friend :bowdown:

[Gunilla]

I agree with Sabrina here - the elements go surprisingly good together ... ah, well - knowing you it's perhaps no surprise :thumbsup:

Could you please put some lost librarians in there now? :scream:

[Lemog]

Gunie -> Good morning girl... Librarians ? I don't know... maybe these guys are little be afraid by the soon coming of the pigme's :scream: Librarians are in fact very timid... even in rubbersuit...

OK - I wont encourage you do do any additional stuff since I know how much you have to do at the moment - and we must have things to do after the challenge too, right? :bounce:

Very creative idea Lemog. Like the whole concept allot.

Small librarians... of course that will be funny...

...about additional stuff... you know, if I can... I do... but effectively, actually, it's very hard to add more fun in the thread... I'm the first ashame... but if I imagine something very very funny... madness will be stronger I think... :scream: hahahaha...

After the challenge... I've already a project... a very big project... but shhhhht... it's a secret for the moment... I'm working on the pre-project actually too... :twisted: (when remain me couple of seconds...)

Well, just for you, I re-post the new story :

As you know, I don't really know what I must choose between a young girl or a young boy...

Finally... I don't know if the knowledge attraction will be sufficient and also spectacular for our children... Knowledge is actually a real part of our life...

Other thing... the library done seem very closed... and that will be certainly better to offer some knowledge to everybody, exactly the contrary than a closed space.

The knowledge is based on old knows... I must find something between old and actual... with a strong contrast of time and place...

For the time's contrast and the opening... I imagine now this library as something really open... I can keep what I do for the moment... and the contrast of time will be give by the contrast of ruins of library... and a part of it... clean as the previous version, just 2 sections... with books... shelves... gate.

The contrast of place... can go with the contrast of culture... the end of the dungeon and the casttle spirit... that must be open... upwards and downwards... no more stairs than one.

Open upwards the sky... open downwards with the hole in the ground... as a well... as a knowledge's well... of course, we imagine it bottomless, as the knowledge.

Always to keep the contrast of place... the environment can be something as a forest... or maybe a jungle... a very dense forest... is something very dark... as the lack of knowledge.. and light comes of the library... of the Angel of knowledge where we can see the fly of knowledge, materialized with golwy blue birds, each oneth hold in their nozzle a different letter of Runes.

And any spectacle need for spectators, who will be the witnesses of the spectacular... these privileged spectators will be pigmés or aboriginals...

...when the culture meet the knowledge.

good work buddy .keep it up:thumbsup:

[Nomad]

Excusez moi monsieur l`artiste mais je travaille moi ;)
Je suis sidere de voir tout cet amas de modelisation... combien de temps tu passes dessus par jour?

.. for the new story... well... I think it`s a too artistic way... difficult to show this in an image... but maybe I`m wrong... the previous story and environment was more iconic and easier to read.

[daWinky]

:eek: .....:thumbsup: :thumbsup: Yes!!

-sabrina

[makaron]

these trees give a kind of spookey feeling... :thumbsup: but arn´t the libarians afraid of ghosts... :eek:
I think that its gonna go well with the story you have now... hopefull that you can get the dry nuts into the scene too, you have to have a couple of them, your signum, the Nut Lemog... :p

[Lemog]

Excusez moi monsieur l`artiste mais je travaille moi
Je suis sidere de voir tout cet amas de modelisation... combien de temps tu passes dessus par jour?
Une moyenne d'1 heure par jour (et rarement le week-end)... sans compter les temps de render test...
...car moi aussi... je travaille... et en ce moment... c'est full-speed-charette huhuhuhu... mais c'est pas ça le pire, j'ai une famille aussi :beer: et une femme qui adore la 3d :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :cry:

It's your right my friend, and congratulations, you're the first who prefer the previous version... but you know, with this one, I re-find motivation to continue, I think it's a good thing... and I will certainly less difficulties to display the message... we will see... seeya Macej :wavey:

:rolleyes: *sigh* ooooh, you! Glass go...you just had to didn't you :p? Hehe, I'll forgive you since the latest update is looking great, so much more engaging now that you've added the trees into the foreground. Obviously been working hard today, eh? More than can be said for myself...

[sergioKomic]

Good work Big L !

[Lemog]

SuperXCM -> mood ? cool ? it's not exactly my sad goal... hahaha... Thanks Simon... :cool:



Romelalgo -> Happy that you like these trees Romel... :beer:



Zapan -> Creepy... why not... that's agree me... behind the knowledge, it's certainly like that, not ? :argh:



Gunilla -> niches and kinky lamps comes soon... just need to save my computer without unuseful parts... and also my render time...

About the mood, I hope to have a good (or sufficient) contrast with the library... if not... I've created a new shader which normally permit me to increase the shape and of course, the contrast... but that also increase the render time... :arteest:



Elsie -> lot of work today...mmmh not really... I've planed to finish today environment... to begin birds this evening... another time, I'm late... remain me to do lianas, branches for trees, and for environment some bushes, some ferns and some little stones... and that will be okay I think... Thanks for your interest :thumbsup:



Sergio -> LeNut is finish... now it's "Big L", you always make me laughing my friend... :D

i really like the forest and the mystical feeling that u are putting with the fog in place :D Great work laurent :scream::bounce:

[gardogg]

Very nice work on the details and mood. My only crit would be that the branches on the trees may be too curvy. I'm not sure how best to explain this. Hopefully that won't be a problem though once leaves are added.

[Nomad]

All ideas and all advices are always welcome mate :thumbsup:




Bon ben je continue sur mon chemin... la biblio etait mieux, la c`est glauque :argh:

looking exellent my friend!:applause:

I kind of hoping that the birds gonna be happy and joyfull, to contraste the sadness of the forrest... :) and for the nuts, do hazelnutbushes, so the birds can eat those nuts later on... they do have something to feed on... my version of a smart reason to get nuts into the image... :p

Gardogg -> no... I totaly understand your point of view... I do the choice between exotic and creepy... it's more for the design I need than a real type of trees... but I think that with the branches, that's agree you better...



Nomad -> no prob mate, the library comes in this environment... not the totality, but the most important, yes... :deal:



Rattlesnake -> gracias ombre :beer:



Makaron -> it's clear girl... birds will be very happy and joyfull because they send knowledge... glowyblue... thanks for the good reason to add nuts... if remain place in the trees finally... if not... the only nut visible in the scene will be my signature in the low part... :arteest:

haha, just kidding - the ferns looks good and together with the mapped scenery they will blend in perfectly.

Lots of magic here for the moment :love:
Glad you like that Gunie... finally, I take more pleasure with the environment now than with the character... too much work, too long time, too much tweaking, too much tests... finally, I'm not very patient, I prefer so far to have visible advancement... as with this details...

About ferns... I know... I'm a little bit ashame... only few polys... no modeling for each leaves or branches... it's not really LeNut I think... but the scene is already very heavy (for the moment, not all elements inside 1 scene... better to work easily...)
But as certainly I will do each feathers for bluebirds... I can save a little with vegetation stuff...
Have a nice day Gunie :wavey:

Thanks Alex... but I know that's not also imaginative than your incredible work... but it certainly my universe... and It's certainly not very easy for me to leave out it... :)

[Zapan]

Yay , ferns a really great , no need to be modeled I think , because they're really great the way they are...:bounce: :thumbsup:

so saving time, saving polycount, saving rendertime...with the same display quality:)
I like this recipe...

[SONIC-X]

Nice! Great looking ferns.

[daWinky]

This looks very good, I agree with Zapan, no more modeling on the ferns necessary:thumbsup: .

yaay..little brownish piles around a hole:surprised ummm this didnt come out right hahaha kiddin..crazy details man:beer: :arteest: ;)

[Lemog]

Zapan -> and I just do this type of render, without textures background only for set the ferns... that will be certainly very integrated in the environment... and less visible...


SONIC-X -> :beer:



DaWinky -> okay, thanks... and no grass carpet here... (for the moment :scream: hahaha)

Great environnement lemog. Maybe add some snow on the trees ?

Some very nice updates here today! I agree with Vincent, snow could be marvelous - or do you think that would be to joyful?
Oh, I suppose having Pigmes in wouldn't be very realistic... but beautiful :bounce:

Nice update lemog.Keep going,this is interesting.

[mmoir]

Hey Lemog,

I really like the environment ,very detailed:thumbsup: :thumbsup: . I thought that your scene was an interior image? Must have missed some of your updates about where this environment fits in with your image.
Keep up the excellent job here.

[Lemog]

SONIC-X -> I'm really happy to have finish the envrionment now... next step will be the bluebirds... :wise:

Crazy.

It looks so atmospheric man.
You are one ,one,one,dont have word for it.
You gotta have somekind of machine,that you connect to your head when off sleeping,and then recording your dreams and imagination.How can you make so much in this frame rate.
Amazing.

Respect:bowdown:

[SONIC-X]

Your enviromant looks so great.Looks like out of a fairy tale.

The blue birds should ad some nice color to the scene.

[aliasali]

:eek: Man thats INSANE!

[JamesMK]

The "enchanted forest and well" is coming along fine here, Laurent. It could need some more depth though, and also a better sense of light direction, as it appears a bit too flat with the current lighting. Other than that: :wip:

Waw this last render is really beautiful !

Wow, beautifully atmospheric! I have really enjoyed watching your piece come together. If I were to have to crit something I would think little more darkness in the background would enhance things, but of course that is just my humble opinion. Fantastic work!

[gardogg]

Lemog - the trees look much better now with all these branches. Good work overall. I notice that a couple trees right behind the well have really fat trunks. This doesn't look natural to me. They seem to get fat very abruptly at the bottoms. Besides that, I like everything alot!

[(o)ne]

Laurent, where are you?

[makaron]

I guess that Lemog went to get a couple of blue birdies, and got lost in his own forest... :eek:

[Lemog]

gunilla -> well... no 3d for 3 days, it's hard for me too... family obligations wenesday... mariage saturday and birthday party sunday... hard... very hard... hahaha :scream:



SergioKomic -> thanks Sergio... all is finish now... I can take some rest with you and at job...



Cipher -> Thanks to take time in the middle of your studies... thanks Seb


Nomad -> It's my goal mate... thanks :thumbsup:



Tuck -> Certainly less original than your creation... but it's certainly my universe... thanks a lot Udom...:bowdown:


Lync -> Thanks Lynda... happy that you like this sad environment... more happy things next week...


Nemirc -> :beer:


jddog -> tranquillement mais surement mec... merci :wip:



A I R -> maybe you're right about that kind of connection... cause I only try to do what I saw in my dream... sometimes, it works... and sometimes... it works less...it's the difference between dream and nightmare...



SONIC-X -> yes... I count on these blue birds to have some touches of color... to give the happyness of knowledge...



Madlight_1988 -> hahaha... no man... just some sad trees... hahahaha



JamesMK -> Haha... I know that usually you prefer more hard lights... but for the moment, the lighting is just a way... but not the final one... need to add the rest of the scene... the library, the angel... with her magic lighting effects... and that certainly change all the ligthing... just try to keep a part of this actual sad aspect blend with something more magical, with more ray lights, more hard shadows... But for the moment, it's to early to ty to set something... I must do before some new test of light and effects... with a low scene...


Scootermaya -> yes man... pigmees will be the privilegied witness of this knowledge manifestation... the contrast (or the difference) between culture and knowledge...


Madshooter -> I don't know if it's really very good... I know remain me much work to bo better thing, but one thing is sure... I take lot of pleasure to work on this kind of mood... it's really my element... Thanks for your words Roshan.


SuperXCM -> Thanks Simon... in fact, a week-end very charged... very tiredly... :wise:


SoniaMaybeRedSoon -> The destruction is yet started... but remain me some details to do before putting together all elements... birds and pigmees... to protect you with your skirt hahaha
About branches... the most important are in nurbs... but all the little branches are not polygons, but PaintFX... a post-fx of Maya... very praticle for that kinf of effects...


Grorum -> Merci, heureux que ça te plaise Jean-claude... ++


Dern -> Thanks for your advice Darren... about background... for the moment, I don't know... I must wait the final step to setup the scene when all elements will be together... but I will certainly darker it a little, to keep a good contrast with the library... thanks again...


DaddyMack -> Oooh your words are very sweet for me Robert... I hope that we will have soon a good idea of all elements together... I've already the exact vision in my mind... but the most complicated remain to do... that this idea correspond to the result... Thanks man


gardogg -> Thanks Gary... about the tree design, and particulary the low part wit the special fat size... I was inspiring by many species of exotic trees... as for the moment I'm not really sure about between pigmees or aborigens, I do a for these trees... remember, we are not in the "true" reality"... and when I do it, I'm searching in first a certain design...


(o)ne -> héhé... I'm back Stepan... 3 days without computer... but 3 days very full for me... but now, I can continue on the project... and continue to follow yours... seeya mate...


Makaron -> Hahah... just beginning these birds this night... no time this week-end to do more... but now... I'm free to continue... kisses to the GP's :wavey:

First steps modeling for the Blue Birds... just the body is in nurbs...

[Gunilla]

Lovely start for the birds - finally some updates here :bounce:
I'm getting so spoiled by your daily updates - keep them coming!

[nemirc]

Ok now I am completely lost :blush: I think I'll have to wait till I see the finished piece..


BTW if you manage to add real feathers to those birds you'll be my hero :D

[Lemog]

Gunilla -> Yes Gunie... restarting here... I'm don't know very well birds... it's my second one... a new discovering for me... but I have a precise idea... just that I hope it was a good idea... :scream:



Nemirc -> Don't be lost my friend... just remain me these birds to do... and the pigmees... after that, I can think to the "together" steps...

Feathers... ? I don't think to do real feathers... in fact, these birds must be magical... they make live the knowledge...
I've planed to create a procedural 3d shader for feathers... I hope that can be good... for these glowy-bluebirds... :thumbsup:

[scootermaya]

I can't beleive you are actually really doing a blue bird ! (you must have been thraumatised by something at the SATIS ! :scream: )
For the feathers, you could try maybe some great paint effect feathers ??? no? (there are blue ones I think):bounce:

[ThierryS]

Love that piece with the vegetation, the mood is great and the level of details is crazy, it could have been done in ZB, but I guess it's not:banghead: . Marvelous work Laurent:bounce::)

[daWinky]

I agree with Gunilla, we missed your updates...good to see you're back.:) Your bird shape is already looking good, but I think it's missing some nice wings...poor bird:sad: , but I'm sure it will have wings at the end of the day:bounce:

[makaron]

no wings, no nuts... :bounce: but a good start on the birdies...
tweet... tweet... as the bird should say... and keep on tweaking until the featers turns blue... :thumbsup:

[Lemog]

scootermaya -> maybe you're right... satis memories powaaaaaaaaaaaa :scream: hahaha
About feathers... I do many test with PaintFX... the result doesn't agree me... not the best way for me... (even if I've planed to use it)
They will be in nurbs + procedural stuff...



thierry2005 -> You're right... no ZB for me... I'm really "une tanche" with this soft... a real shame... I test it many times... (I've win a licence of it in a challenge...), but without good result for the moment... but I will test another time... I must be able one day... :sad:
Thanks for your comments about environment :thumbsup:



daWinky -> sure... wings can help this bird a lot... he seem really naked... and then... no wings... no chokolade :scream:
10 minutes serious... too long for me :banghead: I can't resist...

[Lemog]

no wings, no nuts... :bounce: but a good start on the birdies...
tweet... tweet... as the bird should say... and keep on tweaking until the featers turns blue... :thumbsup:

Hahahaha... doesn't be disappointed man... the project is not completely different... but now, we have something as ruins, or parts of library... a symbole of knowledge... in a sad forest... always the angel with her book... and some blue birds are leaving out the book for spreading knowledge... maybe a little bit confuse quickly explained... but in the final... I think that will be more clear, more simple... thanks for your interest :thumbsup:

I'm Interested to see how the featers end up.Looks like it kan be pretty tricky.
