Update on Thunder...i may go different with the front brown skirt(...in design)...but that i will try later tonight....
Clothes will suffer severe Displacement for ripples and stuff in ZB later.

Displacements are the key for no problems in rigging ...i think...

C&C are welcomed.

[DimitrisLiatsos]

@ Agamemnwn ... thx man...have fun with castle on Meteora ! :)


@ DaddyMack ... thanks man. I don't think that it comes any way near your beautiful chinese scene...but i will try :twisted:. :thumbsup:

@ Mr Micro26 ...keep rocking man with beautiful bike ..can't wait to see the final scene.:)


@ Versiden ...hey thanks man...with your clean modeling skills it would be nice to see :) .

[nemirc]

I bet that would be a sim nightmare too.

My only problem is that the clothing is too "wrinkle free". Other than that it looks cool :)

...more stuff on Enviroment. I will post also all the parts(modules) which make this scene in next update.

C&C are welcomed.

[andreja]

Fantastic enviroment!:scream: Good luck!!!

[JamesMK]

Groovy enviro, Dimitris! There's some rather obvious tiling on the ground, but I'm sure it was just one of those temporary texture slap-ons.

I can see.... lots of yellow, red and orange leaves on the ground....




.

[monsitj]

Hi ! mate ! very nice job ! you capture the grand feel of chinese architect! yeah , like jame saide , red , yellow , orange leaves blow in the wind ( or you choose rain from your reference?) will be awesome!

[Lemog]

Hey Lord of Bubles... that's do it... not finish but yet very pleasant... the colors are at rest, but it's felt that they only ask to awake...
...whaouw... this style change us, but it's a real pleasure Dad :thumbsup:

[Gunilla]

Some fab work going on here lately! The environment looks real sweet - asian feel coming strong :thumbsup:

[alexichabane]

Awesome job on modeling your environment, I love the detail and sligth irregularities in the roof tiles and stone. The character looks pretty sweet as well, this one is gonna be great. Alexi

JamesMK and monsitj are responsible for revealing the half surprise..(and hard task on this image).

The difficult part won't be the characters or the clothes...but the mood...everything will be wet..rain ..slow rain is falling...(Peter Gabriel came in mind just now).

Lemog , my son..i hope i won't dissapoint u.

The spectacular about all this scene in the movie isn't only the warriors..but how the camera plays with all shades of Grey, Black, Brown, White Grey and...in mine ..Red.

There..half the secret is out...

[DimitrisLiatsos]

@ JamesMK, monsitj, Lemog ...heya..u made me tell the half surprise...:p .

@ andreja,Gunilla ..thanks friends.:)

@ alexichabane ...thx Alexi. Character wil pass through ZB displacements regarding clothes..it's only half way there...but it will end..i hope.:)

[rattlesnake]

Hey man , the cloth is going very good, i love the sleeves , u did a great wokr on them, keep going mate, youre doing it amazing!
man also the environment is :eek:, great:bounce:

[nemirc]

I really dig that wip. If you get the rain correctly then you will be my hero :D

[Climax]

• You allways get the right references! that's the way it should be! I can't wait to see how will it come, I guess colorfull as others have said! :arteest:

...wet shader attempt...and Lighting mood...

...i am trying for the wet look. Forgive the low quality render...i am testing this in a veeeery slow machine.

C&C are welcomed.

[DimitrisLiatsos]

@ All the guys who commented lately... Gasp..guys i need too much time to answer everybody separately...thanks for all crit and good words and crits.
I will visit everyone's thread soon...:bounce:


Be well and have fun.

[nemirc]

I can almost hear the music ;)

I find it hard to buy the lighting. It's difficult for me to figure out the look if half of the elements are not textured... and is it me or I can't see shadows? :surprised

[Scrat-D]

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!
I am sure that you are going to surprise us even more! What's next? An interior of a volcano? The deep blue sea? A plan from singing in the rain?

More than spectacular... I think that your final image will be something more than spectacular!

[ihamid]

hei Dimitris!
yess the wetshader effect on the ground is pretty convincing :thumbsup: .. maybe a little bit of puddle somewhere with ripples might add to the already cool scene!... will it be raining ?
cheers!

[flaeticia]

Its tremendously indeed !
Excellent this reflection on the ground :)
That really brings the wet aspect, after the rain !
Very successful Bravo !

[Climax]

• Already looking like one of those old chinese movies, i like this sad and gray mood on the scene, i can fell the breeze on my face and the drops running along my blade

[Micro26]

There will be a huge slaughter in there.:thumbsup:
Great mood and shading Dimi. I agree about the rain ,its amazing.
Just WOOOOWW and keep it up:scream:

[scootermaya]

If I may Dim, if you can, I think you should use a separate shader to ajust the stairs as one block per steps, also just a litle lighter in tone, no ?

[monsitj]

floor wet shader is flawless! awesome man ! no crits:thumbsup:

[evanfotis]

Wow!
The ground looks great!
Can't wait to see it finished, with all the nifty details...

[madshooter]

Rocking update dude:thumbsup: Scene looks great already:) I agree with Michel a litle lighter tone for stairs will make it look more cool:) other wise every thing looks great:thumbsup:

[Agamemnwn]

The wet shader and mood looks great Dimitri, keep up the good work :D

[gardogg]

Whoa! Very neat job with that. This looks like it was a lot of work. No crits so far.

[gpepper]

Excellent shader Dim !

[Pgraphics]

Love the ground texture...Awesome Job!

[ace4016]

Nice work. Get some puddles in there:thumbsup: (haha, for some reason I see a yellow rubber duck in one of those puddles).

Good job!
happy that you are so active and your works make the challenge hot.
Hope to have you and Lemog in the finalists .
Good luck pal!

[JamesMK]

The wetness on the ground tiles looks close to perfect!

The splashes in those barrels seem a bit out of scale though, too big IMHO, unless there's somebody on a roof somewhere throwing potatoes in the water, in which case they look perfect too :D


.

[scootermaya]

Hello Wabit !
Yes, it looks good for potatoes throwers. I like this effect a lot though.
Is there a way that you could emphasise a bit the drop hits on the flor, with a bump map for example?

[DimitrisLiatsos]

@ Lemog ...water is a bit dark...i have to agree...i will work on that :) ..thank u French Nut Bubble


@ gpepper ...hahhah..do u have WC problems with food from Marroco?..:scream: Hi man.


@ ali_rahimi_3d ...it needs more attention but thank u for the good word friend.


@ Leda ...heeeyy!...how are u friend. Thank u , although the Crazy Frenchy and The Nut Wabbit are kicking my butt big time so far...:bounce:

@ JamesMK, scootermaya ...indeed there is a POTATOE Effect in those splashes...lol

Look i found the rain model that i will use....

Env Modeling 100% ...Texturing and Lighting in wip. I have set the basic light setup...but it needs some helping hand here and there ...in other words...needs work on lights...texturing is 70-80%. I need to take a brake on this for a while...to clear my mind on how it should look...lighting wise.

C&C are welcomed.

P.S; Thanks everybody for the moivation and comments.

[nemirc]

You are working too fast :surprised
It's a good thing you are still missing one character ;)

[ihamid]

Dimitris my friend! thats looking mighty incredible! :thumbsup:maybe be a sudden break in the clouds that casts an occasional ray of sunlight somehwere to give the effect! :)
cheers mate!

You are working too fast :surprised
It's a good thing you are still missing one character ;)

Two..two characters more.. :scream:


@ yunisirees ....good idea my friend...must check this.

[Climax]

• Looking good Dim! i only suggest to have in mind that size of humans according to the environment would appear very tiny, but i don't know what u have in mind for their positions, so for now, I only cheer your work! :beer:

[scootermaya]

Very nice stairs man !:thumbsup:

About lighting, I know it is a basic seting, but it looks a little doll from under... perhaps, instead of a directional light, you could try a series of very wide spots slightly tinted brown to create a "mood" below the main objects (roofs) also beware of not showing a sharp shadow like here; in the movie, there is no marks on the floor...
I feel like foolish me, giving you advice !!! You don't need any from me , you are our master !:bowdown:

[nemirc]

Two..two characters more.. :scream:


@ yunisirees ....good idea my friend...must check this.

Then that gives us chance to finish :scream:

[thebest]

lol cool place:applause: dieing to see the two characters:bounce:

[Lemog]

Good update mate... just find the textures of the floor/little wall/stairs a little bit repetitive... depend of the lighting... the other parts are ok for me :thumbsup:

[Scrat-D]

Excellent progress Dimi! I'm sure you'll figure out something for the lights so sit back,relax,think and enjoy!!:bounce:

[pseudonympending]

Nice work Dimitris, lots of great detail. Maybe some of the brick work could be smaller...?

Good job.

[gpepper]

Excellent render !
The blur in the sky seems a little bit too strong...in my opinion...

[shtl]

AAAAA update is back...

AAAAA dimitri has gone....


Hey, this is coming great...:bounce:


Well they said it all.

mmm, you will work even better with a little pause.
Coming back stronger Haha!



aaarrr, I should have tried harder this kind of mood in my Urban Temple.
This will be terrific has very hard.
Good continuation and good luck !

[JamesMK]

Shader: Well on its way I think :thumbsup:

Lighting: Pretty good too, maybe a little too constant... There's some slightly red tones going on in the back to the left - I'd say you could turn that up a few notches, maybe add a low intensity omni with a lot of red in it to create sort of a localised ambience there.

The overall look lacks some depth as the buildings stack up along the Z making it a bit muddy or nebulous - although I'm pretty sure you only need to add something inbetween: either some very subtle distance haze, or even better some soft mist, such as that one can expect to rise like steam from the warm ground as it is covered with cold rain.

[rattlesnake]

hey man...all is looking so real!, youre really great artist!, the only thing that i feel looks not as realistic as the rest are the white and black pieces, those little kinda spheres on the center, maybe is only me, but somehow they look different that the rest, anyway maybe is just a weird thought on my part, but i really think this is going great, no doubt is one of the best already, :buttrock:

[DimitrisLiatsos]

@ the best ..thx friend...there will be ...three ...+ 2 (?!?) characters in scene...:scream:


@ Climax ..oh don't worry ...the cam is too back right now...it will be lot closer to the front stairs ...and i am thinking some possibilities or repositioning some stuff to make it more dramatic. thx man!

@ nemirc ...my friend ..a lot 'cause honestly it's the first time that i don't know if i will have the time to finish this...too much work...and i have to leave also soon for a planned (so much time ) trip (not vacation).


@ scootermaya, Lemog, gpepper, Swamps, JamesMK ....:) ...hello guys :bounce: ...Lighting at the present is Very dull and muddy ...i don't know why i never liked imaged based lighting ...that is why the sky is blurred ..it's not the sky just the HDRI used.
I am a bit dissapointed at this point from the look of textures ..the tiling and the lack of depth in scene as James so correctly mentioned. Lemog and Swamps are right...i need to break the repetition of blocks in walls and floor.
Lighting must be planned very carefully. And also it's a very good time to brake the scene in appropriate layers of attention..(already done that though...lol).

The mood i was dreaming isn't there not even in a 5 % ...at least up to now....argghhhh

Thanks friends...most helpfull ..i apreciate this. :thumbsup:


@ shtl ...hi friend...i am going to work on it more soon...i just need the courage
to delete all lighting setup i ave now and corect some textures and shaders...and start testing ..again :scream: . Nice to hear from u !

@ SSSSSSSSSnake ...oh Black and white pieces are not finished...simple shader on them (Blinn) with nothing worked there so far...u are right to have that feeling.

All my attention now is focused in getting the right mood by shading and light and camera position. ...which is always the most difficult part i think..lol


:bounce: Asta la vista baby ....( always wanted to say that...:scream: )


thx friends.

[daWinky]

Your environment is wonderful:thumbsup: ! If you aren't statisfied with the light, perhaps try some additional lightsources like lanterns or torches. So you can set some well placed highlights...

-sabrina

[madshooter]

Very nice progress dude, env looks awesome:thumbsup: lot of details, In case of lighting are you planning to use any third party renderers:)

Keep up the good work:thumbsup:

[gu]

very well done, such in modeling, texturing, details! sorry for hasn´t replied you before!

congratulations

[sergioKomic]

hey Dimi, hows things up in the attic?


Nice progress..... the floor texture needs some work, (dirt?) to make it look different than the walls.


**** so far:bounce:

...A more pleasing to eye solution...made also the water more on the floor.

All the scene maybe needs a little more light, but this will show i think when characters are in place.


C&C are welcomed.


P.S...errr...i may have a lot of work...but i will finish this...arghhh...

..insert a lot of boing ..boing ...boing emoticons here... :-).

[Agamemnwn]

Looking great Dimitri :D Good job my friend.


EDIT: i dont worry about the mood of the final image . i know you can make it happen . as for the textures as laurent said you can see some of them repeating . the wet floot looks really good :D

[Lync]

It is looking excellent. You are right though, it does need a bit more light. With all that water, things would be glistening more :)

[Lemog]

All is really good for me... wet ground is better and a good idea...

...but the little wall... texture is better than the previous version... but tiling is very visible...

that's all for me my lord :thumbsup:

[flaeticia]

hmmmm like it !
hmmm no :D love it -> thats better :)

But, one question for u my love Dimi, what is Enviroment ? :eek:
New Word ? :scream:
New Concept ?:scream:

Huhuhu
:bounce::bounce:

[MacAndre]

with a better light and better textures. this will be one of the most spectacular scene here... :thumbsup:
add some dirt at the stone texure and this will make the texture look mutch better and the tilling will be hidden... ;)
keep it up

[DimitrisLiatsos]

@ Agamemnwn, Lemog, mac_andre ... Yup...unfortunately there is a tiling issue on that wall....i am trying the suggestion of mac_andre ...add some dirt ...also made the testure in exact UV size so that no tiling effect is there...i 'm still also experimenting on that wall's color..i don't want it to be so...colorfull ..if you know what i mean...:)..thx friends..:bounce:.


@ Lync ...u are right...but i also thing ..becuase the scene is in a rainy day light...the glistening must not be too much as i have observed in the film......there is a soft light everywhere...:wip:..thank u!

@ flaeticia ...hey..although i don't write too much to everybody these days...i am watching your scene...:applause:. Thanks little Frenchy nutty girl. :wavey:.


Updating soon ...i hope.

New Word ? :scream:
New Concept ?:scream:

If you still have to ask, you are not ready to know ;)

[DaddyMack]

:cry:

Dimi... Congratulations... :cry: The bar is betting set higher and higher and higher.... again :cry:

LYW!

[ihamid]

yes dimitris thats beautifull ... no crits what so ever!:thumbsup:

[Lemog]

Without doubt it's better... just my thought now... always about the little wall (don't kick me:scream: )
For the tile... new thing is a good idea... but for the 2 different colors of stone, I'm partaged...
WHy 2 different stones ? I ask to the monks too...
If it's really a build choice... I think the last stair must have the same color than the wall... it's a wall part, no ?
But I think that will be better and less disturbing (maybe only for me...:banghead: ) if you have the same type of stone for the both... and that will be more in the zen attitude... :surprised

Just if you want... you can increase the contrast between the both with lighting/shadowing... or simpler, with the diffuse of one of them... :beer:

[gpepper]

Yeah this is getting better and better !
Same question about the stones?

[Scrat-D]

It's surely getting better and better and I think it will be fantastic.As for tje two colors of the stone... Come on guys let him do his magic, he will not dissapoint you!:bounce:

[DimitrisLiatsos]

@ Daddymack ...:blush: ..stop it man. I am not that good ...but thanks for kind words.:beer:
@ yunisirees.... thanks my friend..u are too kind .

@ nemirc ...stop teasing my Frenchy nut friend Laeticia...this is my priviledge:scream: .


@ Gpepper and Lemog ...U are right about different colors...it was done in purpose ..i need to see what color is more close to what i have in mind. I finally came to conclusion to use the one of the wall in the stairs too but with an overall more dark (about 20%) look.
What do u think?:bounce: .

Thanks my friends.

@ IpiotisDinos....thanks my friend for the support and kind words but don't worry ...the French Nuts are very kind friends and mean no harm ..only good . I also especially charich Laurent's opinion in this kind of modeling/texturing issues ...he is one of the best.:thumbsup:

For me it's the better choice... and surely sufficient... this little details doasn't have to catch spectators eyes... but, we must anyway "understand" what is the background...
...it's always very difficult for the details really right front of the camera.

Detailed some stuff around his clothes and also fixed some stuff regarding his proportions.

This ia all of him ...i think ..before rig and ZB Displacements.

..and a fast render of him.

I think that his rigging and Displacements on clothes won't be so much trouble (after i checked some stuff in XSI and ZBrush...)..i think...

Are you going to add fancy ornaments on the blade? :love:

[scootermaya]

Great modeling !
I like that character a lot... looks exactely like what I was thinking.
About the temple, it looks realy good to me like this...exept on what LEMOG said about the last step, in the same color of the wall : I agree with him on this (not usual but when his wright I have to admit :twisted: )
OK I'm cheking on the improvement on the characters... I'm having fun here !

I thought the modeling of the clothes was impressive but now with the texturing...! :eek:
Good going! :thumbsup:

I'd only change one thing - tighten the weave on the sleeves. The space between the threads is kind of large right now.
Also like that metal a lot but it's a bit rough for the sword hilt. Still, we probably won't be seeing that anyway, so...

I'll be coming back for more. :)

nice work dimi! I like your skin shader, i have question , why your poly line of thunder face is appear like that ? do you use mesh directly from zbrush?
nice sss skin!:thumbsup:
some point is I feel , he is too young with this inocent eye , maybe you can darken his eyelid and add more eyelash to him! maybe it in your head already!

[pseudonympending]

He looks good, espscially the hair. I reckon you could add some more depth to the eyelids and bring the eyeballs themsleves back just a mm or so to good effect...

@ kmest ... hey man..don't worry..on the other hand i visit everybody's thread ..i just have no much free time these days...thx for your kind words mate.

@ madshooter...thx friend ..awaiting your updates too :)


@ rattlesnake ...heyyy sssnake...how are u?..i hope u like her. How are u mate? :)


@ monsitj...hiii THAI POWA! :bounce: ...polygon in viewport looks like that 'cuase i imported the high rez model from ZBrush 'cuase i didn't want XSI to calculate also the Displacement..(time saver in a week machine), after importing the model...i thought to try the FILTER operator in XSI...and hit 1 degree SubD up..hehehe..that is why it looks like this...but it does great work...(better than Polygon Reduce in Maya in any case ..heheheh).
Skin Shader...is not SSS...just the Phong Shader u see on the right.
Excellent point in the eye lid darkening ..just to take away that innocent look..and the eyelash adjust :thumbsup: ..thanks man , haven't thought of that to be honest.
I hope to see more of your work soon my friend... :)


@ Swamps ...hey man...thanks...hmmm..excellent suggestion...i don't know exactly yet how to handle this 'cuase i think Chinese people don't have so much depth in the Eyelid area...but i may be muchhhh wrong...hehehhe...thanks man...much appreciate this tip :applause: .

@ the best ...thanks man..i am glad u like it.

@ yunisirees ...thanks man...hehehe..i am modeling everywhere...anytime i have some free time....this is a scene far more demanding and my time is very little....lol.
Yes ...it's XSI ....it's fun !!! ... :bounce: ..and in Maya artists like us it's very easy to hook in ....(now i sound like a fun boy...sorry...lol ) :D

@ nemirc ... hey man...hehehhe...lips too red?...noooo :)...i will look to it tommorow morning...too tired right now...hehehhe...thanks man

I really like that texturing. I was hoping that the rig would be fancier, though :D

What I do want to see is the woman's finished outfit :beer:
