Spectacular 3D Entry: Mehrdad Riazi

[N_krypsh_N]

Hi all.
This is my first challenge, and I'm one month behind, and I have no idea what to do, but I'm gonna try and finish this by the deadline.
Wow....Spectacular huh? Well, already I got a whole lot of Ideas in my head but.....can't decide on what my final concept will be.
In my opinion, anything could fit into this category as long as it's done nicely and "spectacularly".....hope I come up with something soon.

Best of luck to everyone!!!

nice to see u here.I am waiting for your work

After a couple of days of frying my own brain...I think I've got something:

First sign of life on an uncharted planet discovered, a rather mysterious flower. But how could this be? How could this beautiful exotic flower have survived and grown on this planet with no oxygen or water? The main character can't help but want to touch this beautiful flower. Just as his fingers touch it, he realizes vines tightening around his wrist, pulling him into the ground. He is able to break free, but all too late as he feels his legs and back also strapped down be the flower.

ok...so this is my concept sketch done in 3dmax. It's just to show what I have in mind. Since I've got only 65 days left, couldn't really go into much detail.

The main character's head. Scared as the vines are strapping him down. This is obviously not finished,but a quick model for critique, if anyone would be so kind as to give some ;P:D

been real busy these last few days. not alot of time on my hands. just an update on the texturing

[danielkenobi]

Nice modeling, you could really improve the nose. Good Luck. What are u using to model? I think is max but I really dont recognize the workflow are there max lines?

[aliasali]

hey,Nice progress here! at last modelling is on!:thumbsup: waiting to see more!

[N_krypsh_N]

danielkenobi, madlight_1988: Thanx for your support guys.

Yeah, I'm using Max. I'll try tweaking the nose a bit more, don't have much time on my hands, already started modeling the space suit, but I'm so late in the competition, not sure if I'll make it.
gonna try my best though.

[gardogg]

Nice job on the teeth and expression. I think painted on eyebrows look tacky though. I'd make hair for them. The inside half of the eye is shaped inaccurately, the pupil is too small, and the lips are too flat. Some more tweaking needed but still this is coming along well overall. Good luck and get caught up!

and yet another. cc?

[N_krypsh_N]

garddog, thanks for the c 'n c. I don't have a hair plugin so I'll have to think of something else. In any case, wasn't intending on using those.

I think it suits the scene better if I have someone else helping him out. cc?

working on the hands. very slowly i might add.
I wasn't getting exactly what I wanted(problems with the model) anyways, the fingers are supposed to pop out of those holes soon.

ok. I got rid of the last glove. wasn't so fond of it. it's just that theres so little time left, don't want to waste too much time on the little things, but then, don't want to reduce the overall scene quality either. cc?

[Radulan]

It looks like you've got a pretty good concept going.

I'm guessing from the sace suit that these guys are either not human or its really distant future. That is unless NASA starts framing space suits on scifi bookcovers.

I think the expression of the guy getting attacked could stand to be a little more terrified. Just think the guy is suddenly threatened by something that seemed a harmless. Screaming, panic, and frantic waving of limbs would be my reaction.

[N_krypsh_N]

Radulan, thanx. yeah you guessed right, they're not human.

I did consider the waving of the limbs but he's strapped down by the arm AND the legs. maybe more facial expression. thanx for the input man.

I was starting to rig the character when I realized the tubes on the spacesuit need to deform with the rest of the body, so I had to apply a spline IK bone chain to each of the tubes. anyone have a better solution to this problem?
Still have alot of 'IK solving' to do
cnc?

'IK Solving' is finally over. Now I needed my joints (like knees) to rotate and not stretch whe bones deform the mesh, so I'm pretty much adjusting weights on the low-poly model....now this is gonna take a while.Just thaught it was worth mentioning.

[N_krypsh_N]

hey all.
little to no time on my hands recently.hope to get an update in soon.

[danielkenobi]

Ok I am watching good luck Man. You could maybe change the colors of the space suite to blue or something, the yellow it really reminds me more like a construction suit, because of the Bulldozer color je jeje.

[kieljan]

Looks like we're in the same boat...also a late entry. Well, the best of luck to you! Looks like an unusual concept, and i like the suit so far. Keep it coming.
