C&C are welcomed.

[DimitrisLiatsos]

@ Crazy CGtalkers...thanks friends for the kind words and crits...i 've been away some days and you are too many to answer in one post :eek: . ..so i will simply say thanks...and start traveling to everyones thread..:bounce: .

-sabrina

[thebest]

cool updates :thumbsup:

[Lemog]

Simpathetic clothes mate... just find the pattern of the inner clothes and at the top of her not very asiatic... but I'm not a specialist... I'm surely said silly things... but the global design is very cool... good job, nothing more to add before ZBcession... :)

[Gunilla]

OK - I want one of those! :thumbsup:
Lovely dress and I do think the pattern could work (sorry Lemog) - it looks a bit of Ikat (http://images.google.com/images?q=ikat&sourceid=mozilla-search&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&sa=N&tab=wi)type pattern. Great work indeed!

Now to ZB!

[DimitrisLiatsos]

@ daWinky, the best ...thanks firends...i hope it will look better in a couple of days.

@ Lemog ...thx French Nut :) . Pattern of inner clothes is not Asian ..u are correct...don't have those kind of material in the computer i am right now...:) ..i will fix it though,,,this one also looks very tiled...i will use some cool Dragons pics for her clothes maybe...:bounce: ...we will see..Thanks Laurent.

Now to ZB!

Sounds like you're going to ZBing a girl !:applause: I'll watch that closelly ... (wy did you start with the clothe ?)

[DimitrisLiatsos]

... (wy did you start with the clothe ?)


Actually ...'cuase i think that this was the most ...challenging part for her...clothes and colors and how the figure will look in the final picture....and 'cuase i am making just about a hundred different things these days and i can't think calmly about her face...:scream:


:bounce:

[scootermaya]

i can't think calmly about her face...:scream:

:bounce:

You know, we ( french nuts) don't start with the face, even if she's dressed ! :twisted:

OK, I'm out !

Hang on pal ! Look's like we are not alone under pressure these days ! :buttrock:

[rattlesnake]

cloth textures are very good mate...and the base modeling for later zbrushing is just perfect i think, good progress :)

[Radulan]

Most Impressive,
You have a great oppurtunity for many mid-motion shots.

I suspect if any characters are stanging still, their clothes can be blown my mythic wind... You know that stuff that can blow into your hair and make it billow even when you are 200 feet underground in a sealed container.

Brilliant work so far. If you mess up too bad I'll be sure to take notes and make sure I don't do it. :D

[ihamid]

hiya Dimitris

nice skinning there mate! a the lady's cloth looks cool will be waiting for that zb update! :)

( i will use close ups images of Jet Li for his face as reference).

C&C are welcomed

[Zapan]

Nameless ? funny name and also very unusual :D

Very great start for that guy , just love the style , and this is damn clean
...........and fast, are you a real guy ? please tell me you were born with a wacom pen and a keyboard instead hands :argh:

Speechless...

[gpepper]

Excellent Dim she and he look nice !

[DimitrisLiatsos]

@ makaron, Mr Micro26, the best,visualact.com,3rd user ...thx frioends ...i am very happy u like her. :)

@ WildWire ... Hey thanks Ralf..i am very happy u like her...i love your style so this a great compliment for me..:bounce: .


@ Fredy ...thx ...Mostly the model is XSI's SubD's and Displacement maps from ZBrush...the base of close is part polygon - part nurbs (converted to Sub's later). The face i imported as full OBJ from ZBrush 'cuase i wanted to have full prev of her geometry in Viewport...filtered the num of Poly's a bit with Filter Op in XSI and taken down the polycount of face to couple of thousands and the applied to that a first Degree SubDivision to it....Poly clothes have 3rd degree SubDivision on them so they can reproduce better the Displacement.
The complete model of her (with textures...all 2k except Dracon 1k ) is about 14 Mbytes file.
....i hope this helps.


@ Zapan ...thanks .I really take it as a compliment that u like my make up work on a model like this...thanku , also i am very happy u like her too with long neck...it kinda makes her look like a Queen , doesn't it?.. :bounce:

@ daWinky ...Thank u...indeed that look was also the most time consuming element in my wip on her. I feel very happy that this shows in the render. :) She is a bit between feeling ironic or ready to kill someone or wanting someone to die..kinda thing...scary look on a face i think..heheheh.

@ Lemog ... i consider it great honour that u like her my friend....:bounce: ...thanks my friend.

[nebezial]

tha lady model is awesomw but the skin shader indeed needs some tweaking, first of all she is too darkskinned, especialy for an asian, i usualy use the overall difuse coloration option on the fast skin shader, with first layer scatter map to tweak. if u map everything except overall difuse coloration the shader will be clear, with unscattered weight as your next system of ciontrol. this way u can increase the output of the epidermal layer and still have all the controls u need. im interested, how many maps are you using for her skin shader?

[DimitrisLiatsos]

@ nebezial ...oh u are right ..there is a lot of experimentation that can dbe done to it...and i surely hope i can do so... Right now it's is only two maps and an incidence illumination texture on a phong shader..pretty basic setup at this point...:) ...thanks for the advise ..i really have to experiment on this ..u are right :thumbsup:

[Zapan]

I really take it as a compliment that a Lady likes my makeup work on a model like this Bouahahahaha :scream:, I think there is a litlle misunderstood over here :scream: :beer:

[DimitrisLiatsos]

Amazing work, Dimi!!! :applause: Trying to do something today...feeling lazy...:scream:

impressive modeling but is it a surprise ??
Waiting for a composition update now :scream:

[velascodearmas]

Nice woman! I´d seften the lines around her mouth a bit, though... :)

[DaddyMack]

Wow Dimi, another striking pose my friend... I'd suggest lowering him onto his back foot a tiny bit more though... to pull out his front leg a little further and give him a more anticipative line of action... BTW I think this is your strongest character in this piece... And you know that's really saying something... Rock on my friend!:arteest:

[DimitrisLiatsos]

@ Crazy CGtalkers ! :cool: ....

Thanks friends for the kind words and crits....Opinions and crits noted and will be taken seriously through the mind machine....i hope the outcome will be looking as i think...:wip::wip: ...and hopefully u will like it too.

Dimi,

Ok, finally got a chance to review your beautiful piece! :bowdown:

Some suggestions to make her look a bit more feminine...take with a grain of salt. ;)

Hey Rebecca....:)..thanks..indeed it is very helpfull...all the change u made indeed make her more feminine. The problem i have is ...

a) with your adjustments she changes to a more sympathetic lady ...she looks a bit more vanouroble ...at least to me...which is something idon't want in my image...i need her to look more powerfull...and a bit older..am i making a mistake here ?...(anatomically wise i mean )
b) Breast ...as u painted over must go up a bit...hmmm...maybe u are right ...i see if i can pull this off for the challenge time left...i hope it isn't such a big error...but i may have to press the time to tweak this a bit indeed .
c) Ears...yikes....i hoped i could hide those behind hair...arghhh..yup i have to make ears...probably :twisted: ...(just about now i think u realized ...i hate ears...hahahahah :scream:).

Thanks Lady Rebecca ...much apprecaite u took all the time to do this...see what i can squiz in the time i have...

@ visualact.com ...u honor me my friend ..and i am not worthy of this...:blush:

@ authentic ...thank u...(love the character in your avatar since the first time u ever post that image). I hope the compo will look descent...not sure yet...:wip:

@ dvelasco ...Hmmm...RebeccaK said that too....maybe i have a bit to soften that area...but i am afraid she might look more feminine and less powerfull...that is the only thing worrying me,,,mmm,,,must experiment...thanks mate.

@ DaddyMack ...Hmmm...good idea...thanks man...i will try this too.

Time is ticking negatively now...tic tac ...tic tac...weeeeeeee! ..thanks boys and girls..most helpfull u 've been ...

[Rebeccak]

Dimi,

I totally agree that she looks much more regal the way you have her...very intimidating, I think I would be afraid if I saw her coming down the street! :) No, absolutely, she must fit into your story...and I admit I made her look much younger, maybe too innocent for the character which you wish to portray. :)

Ear hater! :scream: Lol...I totally understand!!! :scream:

I actually like your exxaggeration / elongation of the figure ~ that adds to her 'regal' feel, so keeping her the way she is now is fantastic ~ I can't wait to see your finished piece! Will they be putting all of the best pieces in a book, I hope? :thumbsup:

Very much fun to tweak your beautiful work ~ I wish I could model in the fantastic way that you do! The fabric alone is amazing! :bounce:

Cheers, :)

...Two poses to see and comment...

The second is the one i posted earlier but with Yoinks-DaddyM's comments and the first one is a new pose i am thinking. I find though more interesting and mysterious Pose No.2...

C@C are welcomed.

[DimitrisLiatsos]

Dimi,

....
Ear hater! :scream: Lol...I totally understand!!! :scream:

....
~Rebeccak


Lol..indeed...but ... i will make the ears...indeed ..hate or no hate ...u are right i have too...and second i will sincerely try to make her like in your paint over...(rounder face and innocense..breast up a bit ..etc..)..i am curious how she will look...:wip:. Thanks Rebecca...much appreciated.

[Rebeccak]

Wow, Dimi, your latest WIP is so amazing!! :bowdown:No problem for the comments, hope they are useful. :) I'll be wanting my book signed! :cool:

Cheers, :)

~Rebeccak

[thebest]

wow cool work keep it up :thumbsup:

[nemirc]

I vote for the second pose!

[daWinky]

Both poses are looking good of course, but I would prefer the second:) . It's more dynamic and with more inner tension...I ask myself: What is he going to do next, will he start to attack...:eek: , so a clear vote for the second pose!:thumbsup:

-sabrina

[Scrat-D]

Amazing work Dimi! The second pose I suggest! Asa for the lady... She is perfect! Great job there! (/greek prepei na valw internet spiti gmt!:twisted: lol /greek)

[Lemog]

The second one for me... why ? just as in animation... we always anticipate the motion, the action... and this pose seem to anticipate something powerful... more interesting for me... more action... more spectacular... more great :thumbsup:

[sergioKomic]

The second one but with the left hand in the position (stance) of the first !

Great job!

[authentic]

I really prefer the 2nd pose. He's like thinking about a kata and in the same time ready to blok an attack; The 1st pose is more bizarre for me, less comprehensible. It seems he's going to fall because he isn't enough crouched.

[DimitrisLiatsos]

@ Rebeccak ...thanks Lady...oops...wait a minute ..your book...what book...why i learn everything last ?..:) ,...when ?...where?... :bounce:

@ the best ..thanks friend.


@ nemirc, daWinky, IpiotisDinos, Lemog, sergioKomic , authentic ...Thanks friends...indeed the Second Pose is giving more tension...and as u all said ...it kinda gives him that ...attack sense. I will also try to put the arm as SergioKomic says...it might give an extra sense that he is ready to start a kata as Authentic said..(are u doing Martial Arts? :) ) .

The second pose it is then...thanks a lot friends...:bounce: .

P.S;...SergioKomic....hmmm...at least in Ninzuju when the fighter is ready to step hard in front leg and start to swing the back leg ..usually ..when some distance of the oopponent is there...u low hands in order to full the oponent ...the strike comes either from back leg or arm...Hand open palm on the height of opponent's face 9as u suggest) ussually gives away techinque and also suggests that the fighter is ready to accept the opponent's attack....difficult to choose..:shrug:

[evanfotis]

Great work!:thumbsup:
I also vote for pose 2.
I would prefer the camera to view him slightly more from his left side than completely from the back..

[Agamemnwn]

Dimitri the second pose looks great. you can clearly imagine the dynamic curve from the hand to the spear and looks amazing :D . great job my friend

[nandlaskar]

yeah i 2 agree with others and u that the second pose is looking good.:)

[SoniaNotRed]

#2 is beautiful!
The motion of the fabric is great!

[makaron]

this is gonna look like an ecco... pose 2 is the best.. :bounce: naaa.. did you read that before? haha...

[DimitrisLiatsos]

Echo just knocked on my door...#2...yup...i think they said #2 ...are u sure echo?..yup i am sure .....are u YOINKS sure ?....have u lost your marbles again...eerr..yup...oh..OK!


:scream: :scream:


Thanks friends...yup it will be #2...i will update later tonight with a compo so far...i need also to finish the last char...got to run now...not much time left i think...:bounce:


YOINKS ...(Daddymack....man i stack with this YOINKS...even to my wife when she called me today ..instead of hello i said ...YOINKS...:scream: )

[Maxter]

Great work Dimitris:thumbsup: ... second pose is more dramatic for me

[DaddyMack]

Please offer my humblest of apologies to your wife... Please explain to her that I am but a victim of my own cartoon befuddled brain... I'm sorry for spreading my disease:p

BTW I suggest trying standing in that pose yourself my friend, and seeing at what height you feel most poised to launch... Paying close attention to your hips, knees, ankles and ball of foot... For that 'ready to pounce' feel his weight should be almost entirely on his back leg and his feet at between 75 to 85 degrees apart... but that could be taking it all too serious... Just do what works my friend... Boogie on down

[Rebeccak]

Dimi,

LOL, I meant the Spectacular Challenge book. :scream:

Cheers, :thumbsup:

Rock on my friend

[dimi16]

I have always been a fan of your work dimitri, its good to see anither greek around here. i would like to see what angle you go with for the final composition, but looks great havent been able to read all 45 pages but it looks like it has pogressed far, i look forward to watching you take your place in the winners circle.

My only c&c is that the way some of the objects are placed in the forground it seems as though the character is floating, take it for what its worth....

-Dimitri Brand

[daWinky]

Now I can already imagine how the final will look like:eek: ...it's impressive, even without textures...love it:thumbsup: ! Nothing to crit, just waiting for more...:bounce:

[thebest]

cool work :thumbsup:

[nemirc]

Very nice work :)

[jddog]

That's become a very intriguing scene, the composition looks very interesting and of corse models rock !
Just a details on environment compo: Not so sure for the forground left and right objects on the frame... Probably depending of the texture and lights set... but at this time I would say to leave this area free of object and try to focus more on people... but stil a a questionable statement...
:wip:

...Trying now to finish the last char in my image...everything else is more or less ready (at the render layers.
(Enviroment took 3 days to render ...2 layers back and 4 layers front...lol)

I will post progress on composition after this Character is finished..

C&C are welcomed.

P.S ; sorry for not answering this time to everybody...but the load of work i have is off charts...arghhh. I will try to do so soon...be well.

great update dimi, lokking good. i not sure about the hat though . it looks out of place with the whole mood and scene. better to wait and see him textured and then say it definately. :thumbsup:

...Some progress on him..I must say that my main purpose is to make him look very handsome...the effort to make him look like Jet Li didn't have very good results...so a slightly different approach was taken for him in design....

i hope u like this concept.

C&C are welcomed.

Beautiful work, as usual Dimi! :applause: Could he use just a little bit more height on the forehead? Other than that, yeek, fantastic work!!! :buttrock:

Tricky composition, but it will be very impressive if you pull it off - can't say much about the models since they are pretty flawless... though I agree about the forehead on the nameless hero, could use a lift... but what the hell.... spiffy!

Thanks to RebeccaK and JamesMK for the forehead thinky ...i hope this is better...if not ...don't hesitate to point this out guys.

cool work :thumbsup:

[Lemog]

Really good Dimi... lot of personality for this guy... :thumbsup: but I must acknowledge that the previous version, with more make-up doesn't disturb be... that give him something very dramatic... something stronger, not a gay look :buttrock: then, why not...

[Versiden]

sorry haven't been back in a while.. you're thread is huge ;p

the textures on the clothing is superb, I can even see the stitching at this resolution ;p.. that's cool!

my 2c, the skin textures need more variation, add more pinks in some places and maybe some spots and skin imperfections

[Scrat-D]

Nice job Dimi! Really nice!:thumbsup:

[nebezial]

great texturing..the mistake when making asian is most often in the eyes..the shape is right..but thre angle of the area from eyebrow to eyelid is too diagonal, like a white guy..tasians have that part more vertical..u fiy that..and he goes ohayooo!

[DimitrisLiatsos]

Hey U NUT CGTALKERS...:bounce: ....


Lemog...u have a point too...that is what i was aiming..i will try to marry both techniques and see what happens. Thx monami.

Versiden The Frog Master Robber... thx mate ..u are right ...skin needs variation...and sme coloring...will work on that more tonight...


the best ...thx mate.


nebezial...thx...true ...again u have point there...will try that tonight with some proportional (soft modification) translations and push pulling verts around...or i will take it to ZB again..heheheh
....:bounce: ...now i need to animate some ..errr...race cars..and i will get back to this late tonight..lol:scream:

[Agamemnwn]

hi dimi, great looking texturing and the clothes bring more to the heros personality i think. u have tgo show me how u uv map so fast. its my nightmare when i finish a modell and i have to uv map it. takes me ages.

[Gunilla]

Looking really good now! I'm a bit with Lemog on the makeup - a bit more could make him more ... spectacular!
And isn't it a waste to model such nice ears and then hide it behind the hair? http://smiley.onegreatguy.net/huh.gif

Great work!

[evanfotis]

Nice character!
A few suggestions for the look you're after:
The eyes need some fixing.
They seem a bit too small ( asian eyes are covered more with flesh , not quite smaller).
Also the nose could be more wide at the nostrils, or flattened a bit in the bridge, to become more asian.
You could also position the cheekbones a bit higher up, closer to the eyes, and draw them slightly outward, more pronounced.

my two cents...

[DimitrisLiatsos]

@ Agamemnwn ...thx man...UV mapping ....Head has cylindrical projection and then in UV editor has some relaxing intop head uv 's and under the chin....some soft selection pushing and pulling uv's around ...that's it....it isn't something tremendous difficult...u just have to be carefull and prepare your steps ...even from modeling session..:)


@ Gunilla ... hahaha that ear-emoticon cracked me up...heheheh...thank u ...hahahahah

@ evanfotis ...heeeyyy Evan ...how are u man...call me ....All things u mentioned are most probably very correct but my time on this is less that 2 hours every 2 days ...and i have to finish this by this weekend...i 'll try ...but most probably i will go for the stylized version in my head...along with a balance between coloring suggestion of James and Lemog with Gunilla....
