just a little transformation on the train ...try to feel more huge...

[alexichabane]

Awesome modeling. Love the detail on the train and the buildings in the background have a good look to them. I think your composition is really well done, and the small scale of the character in the forground makes the train seem especially large and powerful. Keep it up. Alexi.

[ihamid]

man out of this world details! and its big!:thumbsup: the scene is coming up stupendous!
cheers! and thanks!

btw what does "colibri!" mean :)!

[Jaba153]

dirty textures...

[Lemog]

Good beginning for textures... just one remark about the dirty parts, I think that we should see a certain thickness of filth, dirtiness, for the moment, that seems to form a unit with painting... and to have a little bump at certain places would allow to better hang light and shadow...

...I'm just waiting continuation :thumbsup:

[Rotab3D]

nice texturing start jaba ... and i agree with lemog about the bump :p
looks like we gonna see some cool final image here .. good luck :)

[Jaba153]

just another color test...
Lemog& rota' u true about the bump i'm goin' to check my textures...thanxz!

[mudito]

a graeat, great modeling!, it´s totally cool!! i want to see more!
great job
mucha suerte compañero!
good luck

[Pooyag]

oh man...that's so interesting:)

[themagictwins]

Hey, cool work !

Just a little question, I'm from Liège and I know someone that calls Didier Mathieu.. Is it you ?? lol

Hang on, and see you soon !

[Jaba153]

Goul-3rd user-themagictwins thanx a lot 4 sup' orth..

[Lemog]

A small suggestion about the plugs (les tampons), they're very flat, I think that could enrich the image if they were bent a little, not too much, and with marks of blows, and/or friction.
And also, to add small a chamfer on the hub caps of headlights, those have very acute edges.


Bonne soirée :thumbsup:

[Versiden]

wow, amazing modeling here, and textures too - your pace is too great.
no crits.. looking forward for more.

[gu]

nice texturing and shading! the rust rules:buttrock: !I miss a little bit of bump on the rust keep it up buddy!

color in progress..
Lemog ..make sure i take care of yours
critics..thanks but first i put my id's
and textures ruffly..and then make the textures balance...

[dkHamburg]

That is great how you make Progress, great to follow.
I would say, that maybe the weird shaped buildings in the back take away some of the Focus for the Snake. Maybe play around with Color, or make them more starightlined for Contrast.
But in the end, great work, very inspiring.

[Lemog]

On reconnait bien la patte du maître, ça prend forme... nothing to add for the moment... maybe the yellow parts in the background contrast too much with the blueish atmosphere... I've just waiting continuation.

[victim335]

Nice. Here are some crits/personal opinions: texture on the bridge looks too tily, and square things on snskes belly don't look good too, well, sure you know about it, but still. Intersting work. Especially I like the guy and train models. Good luck

[Jaba153]

another color/light test..+lot of photoshop for the shader balance

[beelow]

That train model is looking really good, but the bridge looks like it needs some work on it, good luck to ya!:thumbsup:

[ihamid]

hi Jaba153

cool updates here ! this thing is enourmous ! but i think a little bit of specularity is missing on the train!
but anyways very cool work, cheers man!

[Lemog]

The hub caps of headlights are much better now, cheers :thumbsup:

[SuperXCM]

Waouwww... nice update here... working good....:thumbsup:

Excellent work Jab', keep it going!! :beer:

[Goul]

Yeah nice progress here, i'm agree about the bridge,it need some extra details.

Bonne continuation :thumbsup:

[sirBS]

Powerfully! :D
Good luck !

[daWinky]

Last update looks very promising. Good work on the details of the train and an amazing texturing job on it so far. :thumbsup:

-sabrina

[raultabajara]

man, is a wonderfull work,
but you concept draw have more impact that the image that you show now.

try move the camera to creaty more impact, can be still better

[Pooyag]

i really like it....are you going to colorize that small dude?

[gpepper]

Excellent Job Math !
another great piece of art is coming ! :thumbsup:

[Jaba153]

man, is a wonderfull work,
but you concept draw have more impact that the image that you show now.

try move the camera to creaty more impact, can be still better

thanx raul , i know but it's very hard to give the same energy like in the sketch i think the key is maybe in the character position... it's not alredy done...

Nice. Here are some crits/personal opinions: texture on the bridge looks too tily, and square things on snskes belly don't look good too, well, sure you know about it, but still. Intersting work. Especially I like the guy and train models. Good luck
you true victim! the bridge doesn't looks good...i have to re-check that texture thanx:thumbsup:

3rd user:(....are you going to colorize that small dude?: no of course it's just for the test the final image would be:2480x3508)

a new element 4 my compo is the weirdflycopscooter not already finish...

[gpepper]

Excellent design ! The skull helicopter ! great ! :thumbsup:

[Lemog]

Cool and original for your Weirdflycopscooter... very promising, you're very imaginative :thumbsup:

[JamesMK]

Some heavy modeling going on here :scream: Very good stuff so far, and quite a unique design too. Knowing your GSO entry, I guess we're in for a pretty crowded scene with stuff going on everywhere, right? :D

Looking forward to it.

Looking forward to it.


yes u right james...i' have to begin the details...i have put only the principal elements...but i think this one got less stuff than the gso...( i try to...)


Lee mog & g. peppa thanks alot 4 "encouragements"

[maxspider3000]

ur weirdflycopscooter is amazing man ...

cool idea to builed it ... nd i like it so much ... :)

thanx maxspider!

[Goul]

Really nice, looks strange and futuristic in the same way. Should fit very well in your scene :)

[Lemog]

I adore the hook above... Go texturing now :bounce:

first texttest...

[daWinky]

The scooter is a unique detail, great modeling:thumbsup: . Textures are good from the overall look, but may be they need a little more work. I think I can see some stretching.

-sabrina

[Jaba153]

u right sabrina my textures are done very quickly..just to give an impression but i take care when i put it in the final composition & re check a lll the textures...it's like an intermedial texture..

[daWinky]

Yes, I make it the same way with my models! But as I said: The overall lock is great:) !

another color test...i have to put the character in better position..and maybe more little also...

[JamesMK]

The lighting looks pretty good, particularly the specs on the train there :thumbsup:

The composition needs work though, but I'm guessing this is just a quick blocking for the purpose of lights test only.

[gu]

very very good lighting!!! especially on the front of the train!! congratulations!

sorry, I forgot, the shaders are incredible!!

gus

[Lemog]

Just two comments...
- in this position for the weirdflycopscooter... we don't see exactly what is it exactly... very difficult to read it...
- always the same remark I've said few dasy ago about the plugs (tampons), very flat and whose texture is not worn by the use and the shocks.

Good continuation... your project is always very passioning :thumbsup:

[aliasali]

damn,shaders and lighting is really great! very cool! nice execution,
man,im on modelling,this guys is just finishing up! uv got so much time to work or lights and renderings and post effects! goodluck!:thumbsup:

[Jaba153]

james----> thanks a lot...i know i have to work more on the composition at this moment i think the train is the most finished part of the scene..
gustavo---->thanx too !!& good luck 4 your textures & shaders your modelling is pretty nice!!

Lemog----> i know 4 the scooter...is not in good position and his intensity is not good...i think the background is not good at this moment... 4 the plugs i don't know i like it like that..:shrug:

madlight----> thankz a lot! and good continuation on your scene!!goodluck too!!

[mmoir]

Hey Mathieu,

You have an impressive image going here, great job on this.:thumbsup: Just wondering, were you going to have some buildings in the background it looks a little empty and could help out with some more depth to the image. Look forward to more updates.

[Lemog]

4 the plugs i don't know i like it like that..
It's your creation and I respect your choice Mathieu... but remain you 2 months to think to this detail... :D hahahahahahahaha...

[[wr]JeFf]

VEry very nice concept and of course rendering ! I like very much the "light cartoon" style of your image!

Good luck for the end !

[Jaba153]

mmoir ---->thanx a lot! & 4 the background i'm workin' on a kind of matte painting...( i try to...) and add it it for more depth..

[wr]JeFf--->thanx 4 support!

Lemog---> c'est vraiment pas de la paresse mais je me suis documenté et c plus ou moins ça et je me suis cassé la tête a faire une textue procédurale...

[Lemog]

Lemog---> c'est vraiment pas de la paresse mais je me suis documenté et c plus ou moins ça et je me suis cassé la tête a faire une textue procédurale...
Pas de soucis... c'est moins la texture que l'aspect "plat" du tampon qui me gêne... c'est plus par rapport au reste de l'image... ils sont vus en assez gros, et ne semblent pas bien accrocher la lumière du fait de cette surface plate... c'est purement esthétique... désolé... c'est juste un point de détail, ça ne remet en aucun cas le superbe boulot que tu abas sur ton image...
...encore bravo, car tu avances vite et bien... (boudiou, c'est quand même plus facile à dire en français... huhuhu) :beer:

[Ultemate]

U did great job so far! :thumbsup: Looks cool! :scream:

G L! :)

[andreja]

WOW!!! You are already finish.:eek:

[Squibbit]

some pretty cool stuff u got here, the train especially



.

[Palto]

great. but u pic seems flat, i hope in finel render be more deep

[sergioKomic]

another color test...i have to put the character in better position..and maybe more little also...

Niiice...:thumbsup: the character tho, needs either brighter color clothes, or have him holding s/thing that lights up, to garner our attention...:deal:

[Jaba153]

sergio----> u right i' m thinkin' to put like red/orange clothes..to contrast more

V_KoJaNNoM_PaLTo----> true at this moment only the train is correct the foreground is not good..
Ultemate/andreja/squibbit---> thanxz a lot!!

Lemog---> ben oui c'est tellement plus facile:scream: merci pour toutes les critiques! j'en tient a fond compte ...merci*

*it's more easy like this(talkin in french) thanxz 4 all critiks i take care a lot...:shrug:

[daWinky]

Great update:thumbsup: . I like the details, especially on the train, perhaps your background with all the stuff is a little to bright and the foreground to dark? But time enough for many lighting tests!!:)

-sabrina

[Goul]

nice progress mate, it's turn out well :)

Just one thing bother me : the top-right side of your picture is a bit overloaded.

[Elfo]

Woooww man!!
It is sooo cooool!!! xD
Congratulations! =P

[Climax]

• Very impressive shot! I know is not finished yet, but gotta feel the speed, it looks stationary at this moment and at first sight the character fades in the darkness, try more "Body language" on Him, just suggestions, it is clear you know where u r going, congraulation for great job so far!

[ali-rahimi-shahmirzadi]

Hi. nice work man. and what a complex composition. good luck :thumbsup:

[Jaba153]

sabrina/ goul / elfo / climax / ali :thanx a lot 4 support and comments i will take care!!i know 4 the background the intensity and the light is not good at this moment..i'm working on a far background and sky.. i would try make update soon as possible...

[sirBS]

The person in the foreground not so well it is visible!
I think it would be better if it will stand more close to the spectator and hardly will be more strongly shined

[Maxter]

Gran avance, mi amigo... se ve muy bien!!

Nice composition:thumbsup:

[imbusion]

Excellent work!... this is really an impressive creation :)

I know this may stray from your original concept a little... but as far as lighting goes... throwing a spotlight from the Skull-o-copter to the character in front of the train may help some. Just an idea :)

[Jaba153]

Sergey Banityuk----> u right sergey i have to work more on that character...better position and better colors..
Maxter----> gracias compadre suerte tambien en este challenge:thumbsup:

Imbusion----> thanxz a lot i was thinkin for a lazer comin from the skull but i have first to change his position...

[jddog]

wow, I arrive very late here. You are doing a wonderful work again Mathieu :thumbsup: excellent modelling and color for now. Agree that the vigure is not so visible... but is a wip :wip:
jdd

[ThierryS]

Wow you're fast, it almost looks like a final picture already. Great composition and modeling there. Keep it up man! I like it :thumbsup:

[Larsen]

Typically your own style on each different challenge, always a different mood and sensation, i like the pov camera and the rendering is very cool !

keep up that great work :thumbsup:

[Jaba153]

jddog--->thanx a lot 4 comments and support!!

thierry --->thanx too at this moment i'm working in the 2d challenge.. and come back soon to finish this..

[DaddyMack]

Jaba153.. This has evolved so far already! I agree that your human should be carrying a lantern or similar to bring him out... Good luck with the fine tuning...

[tuck]

I like your mood and tone image. and texturing is very nice too.

Good luck for challenge.:thumbsup:

[romainf]

heya jaba !

Good luck for both your wips ! you're on your way to translate your great 2D style in 3D, and this is very exciting and has started out very well ! good job man. I also second some other people's comments about the "flatness" of your pic and "overloading", but this is a wip i know ;)

Hey Mathieu, very nice concept ! I think large-scale entries have the best chance in this contest and your's is centeinly large scaled, mostly thnx to the boy there. its large scale mostly because we know the "real"size of a boy and we compare the train (and envierment) to it. I'de try to add a few more "real" elements in the scene to stregthen the scale in this piece.

lighting - I really like how the train lit. the rest is kinda flat looking. I'd try to backlight stuff and have more "dark areas". I've allwais been against frontal lighting ... also try to add some more color to some lights (not too saturated tho') and see how that turns out.

texturing - again, I really like alot of areas on the train ! no complaints there. but the "snake's" texture is a bit too uniform and boring for me. dont get me wrong, it is ok, and I can see u made a matching bump/spec to it and it works very nicely but I think adding another layer of dirt or something else could make it alot more interesting.

anyways, keep it up ! I'll be watching :thumbsup:

hi..i have flipped the image,changed a little bit the composition, add lights test in photoshop..and actually from the snakes to the front there's nothing finished..only the far background is maybe correct..

[MVDB]

Is there anything else to say, other then that this is realy good! :bounce:

[Lemog]

It's very good Mathieu... mayeb it's because this orientation is new for us, but that's appear better... good work dude... :thumbsup: just the white smoke seem to much photoshoped...

[SONIC-X]

Looks very cool dude.All the best.

[daWinky]

The background is very good now - gives depth to your composition:thumbsup: . I like this flipped version...still the person in the foreground is much too dark...but as you've said: nothing is finished...:) keep on working!!

-sabrina

[Gunilla]

Haven't seen this for a while - and you've made some great progress!
It looks great -I'm especially fond of the background, very cool buildings and the snake is monstrous :thumbsup:

[Goul]

Ow, i really prefer this new composition, looks more readable than the other :thumbsup:
Anyway, i think that the character isn't enough visible yet, maybe you should think about give him some colored cloths, or something like this, to bring the spectator eyes to it ;)

[SuperXCM]

Hehe Jab', working well :arteest: ... almost finished, i must hurry!

Agree for the characters, but i know it's not finished...
Anyway, amazing background, "pure" Jab'Style! I love it! :thumbsup:

[daWinky]

Hi Mathieu,
your details are amazing, love it:thumbsup: . Your comp is very good too, but I think the overall brightness is too much now, I prefer the more dark version...let's see new updates soon, time is running. cy

-sabrina

[kreuz]

wow...impossible work....good rendering

[Jaba153]

sabreena-->i don't understand the image in my computer is less shiny than in my thread:sad:

i have to re-check all my photoshoopz layerz...

kreuz--->thanxz alot!

[Gunilla]

i don't understand the image in my computer is less shiny than in my thread:sad:

i have to re-check all my photoshoopz layerz...



It's the same for me - I think it's the "save for web" option in PS that makes them brighter - I believe the final Tiff and the jpeg made from it should be fine though.

Great updates - I really like the latest one :thumbsup:

[velascodearmas]

I hadn't seen this one before! Looks really nice, congrats! Excellent job on that train, looks very grandiose.

[TedTerranova]

Wow this one has turned out really great. I can't get over the giant scale and the beautiful city. It is interesting how beautiful the buildings are and yet the world feels terrifying. Good luck with the final image :)

[makaron]

I always felt like train is safe way to travel, not so sure anymore...

this is spectacular :bounce:

don't know flip or not..??
i prefer the right one but the numbers on the train are not correct..

[detached]

I like the one on the left. No techical reason for it, just my preference.

Image looks fantastic. Way to go.:thumbsup:

Brian

[mmoir]

Hey Mathieu,

I like your image very much, you have a great imagination:wip: :cool: . I like the image on the right best . Good luck .

[Jaba153]

mmoir/detached...thanx 4 compliments!...but..

i think i'm gonna stay with the left one even if i prefer the right one:cry:
cause i have to do new renders and especially try to do again the compositing
in photoshop and i have no courage for this..:banghead:
the numbers on the train and the graff silver piece on the wall are flipped on the right version
and it disturbed me too much..

[Jaba153]

thanx to everybody who's comin' in my thread and support this work i'm happy to finish this one at least...
and now THE STORY:

"Damn...

I've just the time to finish the outlines...
I didn't heard the triple-deck from 5.35 A.M
comin' five minutes early..cause i use to listen
"kool-keith"when i paint in the ghost yard..
the "ultra-loco" stops in front of me, next to my
last fresh silver piece.The driver has called the
security and their stupid "weirdflyin'skullz/copscooter"
I can feel their bad vibes comin' from everywhere..
I'm f***ed'up for sure.. cause my jetbag is almost empty!

Damn...

The last exit...
the only exit...is take the"express"ladder to the hell..
the ladder to the lost underground ..the "tox-city", home
of the rats,junkies,non-chipped terrorist and mutants from
the seven continents...

hummm....

cops?..or villains from "tox-city"?
this is a dilemma.. don't know wich is the worst?
.. no guns..no weapons..only style & skillz in my head!

..let's go to the hell!!
"tox city" .. i'm comin'.."

[Jaba153]

the high -res image..thanx again and good luck for all challengers

http://www.jabaone.com/cg3dfinalhrnet.jpg

[detached]

Wow, fast decision. I ended up sitting on a similar dilema for nearly a week before I decided to just keep my image the same anyway.

I love looking at this piece. Its so solid. I love it.

The hires is beautiful. Great Job. The top prize positions are filling up fast. NO!!:cry:

:thumbsup:Too cool

[Lemog]

Congratulation mate... great job...

Congrats Mathieu, your style, colors and the concept is really cool and spectacular.

Your work is very original and this image is really spectacular, nice job on compo. :arteest:
And the story... man is really cool :cool: ... good luck for judgement, your image is in my TOP 5... :beer:

[zman]

awsome work man.
I know you allready posted your final image (that is great btw), but there's something in the newer render that I find much better !
I think its because the train looks alot more massive in the new render. I actually waited a week before I started on this contest and thought out the things that will make an image spectacular, and massivness was one of them.
bah, anyways, I dont wanna bring ya down, the final image is awsome and it shows alot of cool details.
good job :thumbsup:

[SONIC-X]

Great composition dude.Best of luck.

[gwhite206]

I check the submisions every day and somehow I missed this one. Very nice clean image.
