This is first building,it will be two,both are unfinished but youll see that me iz doing something :)
I would apriciate your coments and guidelines. Have a nice day from Croatia!

[sergioKomic]

Why dont you show us some concept sketches, before you go Knee deep in modelling?

Nice building by the way!

[JHarford]

[AIR]

Hey manno.Ranksta'z,what's up pal.
We're here in metropola,just watching your spectacular entry.
I like the way you modelled this building man,I smell some serious skill here,honest.
unlike Sick,man,I can't believe it.Me and you man,,we need to corner him and kick his as.
He's like laughing here,like pretending,,he does no know what we talk about here.
Anyway enough chit chat.
You need to send sketches in order to (da bi te judi ozbiljno shvatili,ovdje svi cijene taj F.. workflow)

[rankstein]

Thank you all for this lovely welcome !
I get the point for work development..But as I said its me first time so I apologies for all the stupid things I´ll do :wise:
I will upload early sketches & describe my cunning plan as soon as I get that atachments post thing (thats why I called you sick..however he didnt answered :)
so expect more soon...

have a nice day!:buttrock:

and a big salute to my crew in metropolis....:beer:

[rankstein]

Let me repeat myself and apologies for not folowing some procedures that are comon to most of you.
So here it goes :
after my friend sick told me about new contest I momentaly went to me other friend (I must have a lots of friends:) "shtemb" orto_metalhead 24/7 there for you to drink beer or something....
next day when I came back to myself,brushed teeth,went to supermarket to buy food and analcoholic beverages due to day before :scream: .And passing the same place for n-th time in me life,I saw it and I sad to myself what a wonderfull idea...grabbed my camera and took a few shoots,so here it is how it all started.
http://img290.imageshack.us/img290/5868/trg149mz.jpg
You´ll see my litlle vilage´s center (fcourse its not a vilage but people act as if it is)
more less thats the camera angle I´ll use but kinda closer with a biger perspective...I own an cheap camera so I can´t simulate everything..
The whole thing is about a big car crash,but really big car crash with a lots of people involved and some really weird crap going on.
But I´ll come to that later,cause I love surprises.
So i sketched an primary idea,and then color solution...
http://img290.imageshack.us/img290/184/privjucopy43ib.jpg
Buildings are more less replicas of those there,but I love to model them directly and create shapes and stuff in 3d so I picked up some of authentic mediterian building marks and mixed them with my ideas.
http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/6139/olucinstuff6od.jpg
(I looked as an crazy artista with a piece of paper n pencil in center of my town and sketched this in about 2 mins cause people started to look me strange...like w.t.f. is he doin..)
So here we are with the other building (first is me intro pic)
http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/3166/v63sf.jpg
My town doesnt have that cool coffe bar in front,and that cheap look terrace but I like it.
I havent started modeling cars and people but as soon as I do youll bee noticed.

[DimitrisLiatsos]

[Lemog]

Thanks for all these good precisions... and as Dimitris said, don't forget to post your steps with the "Submit entry"... it's important for your challenge and for judges...

seeya

Lemog...

[daWinky]

This is already a very nice start of modeling! Even if your concept is not really clear to me this looks promising. So keep it up and good luck!:thumbsup:

Okay,house 1 is almost done and thats about it..lightning is still bad,but I´ll worry bout that when whole scene is set.
And that around house thing at the bottom is wrong,ignore it! :)

okay,this is kinda rough first group photo :)
the camera will bee further,and lower,there is no place for people yet (will be in front of hauses),and fcourse other cars,bus and vehicles are still in my mind...but i dont know how will my cpu gona handle that...any sugetstions except buy y new one,just kidding...Youl see that the truck is almost texturized,will be soon so check it out..and trailer is still to be done,while whale is more less done,I´ll keep it simple due to ram limit :)
And scene still misses few back houses,some woods,see behind all and a boat,few pidgeons (I love them)...and more.
Thats for today,see ya!

[SICK-ART]

GREAT MODELING JOB!:thumbsup:

I see u have created a lot of detailed modeling, it is great skill u have but just watch out that u do not suffocate ur scene , try 2 propound, excerpt ur important hapening from background.. (ma samo se pravim pametan ovdije;)

anyway I see here someone who will make some difference in cg world soon ;)

see ya pawl J

[AIR]

Rookaj.

Are you making this trailer in the end like it's crashed and water pouring out or what,,
and instead killer whale,id make great white shark,pouring together with all the water,and maybe attacking some of the bystanders,i dunno,
I like the truck,,you now your modeling dude.
seeya manno!

[sergioKomic]

Crazy modelling! Nice concept,


On the building textures, you mix photgraphic maps with 3d elements (hoses, windows pipes etc), but the 3d elements are to clean (clear) you need to dirty them a bit .


:thumbsup: Great modelling so far:eek: :bounce:

Well,not so almost,but it will be...
Al square tiles are hand_draw ,but due to weaknes of me cpu this is an bad render,but as soon as I do something better,I will upload something new..
Ok!
bye!

[rankstein]

Thx Sergio,air und sick for compliments...Yea,I know bout the cleanes of 3d elements,bit will check that later when I finish with foreground details cause there is still a lot to be done in front...but a great eye you have there... :)
Yes the trailler will be like crashed n stuff and the water will be pouring out,whale is becaouse the sharks are not so big,I know this is all imagined,but it all started cause of whale...cant remember why...think its cause of that rough awakening day after :banghead:---

Nice day!

As first I apologize for my absence,I Would have to clone myself to manage all things,but this is not an psychology site nor contest so I´ll jump that and get to the point.
I changed my mind,as time pased since I had idea about car crash and pointless truck carying an whale. I decided not to do samting bad,and not positive.
The place is the same,more less my hometown,but there was an circus and they go away,fcourse not an ordinary one but circus it is.
so heres the first part of another vehicle... model for now

okay,fter few hours it looked like this :)

Okay,story,here,every once in a while some local folk "band" sings around,so here it is some sort of my would like to be vision of that..
The band will be some sort of not so local folk,I am shure that only me and my friends would enjoy that but I can dream...

[rankstein]

okay,I dont have much to talk about lightning,I had doubts about using raytraced sharp shadows or area,but I chosed sharp ones,looks cleaner,and ond the second picture there is first version of clouds behind,just for your info.. :)

Using one spotlight that brights white and casts shadow and two omni lights who just iluminate.

If there is see there it should be a sea port,it is mainly builded out of boxes,no textures,only bump

Rendering few times,background rended to look more realistic,but again computerized,bright and clean day :)
While cars are rended in toon mode,to look that way..thats it,it rends whole eternity..And later merg them all!

[rankstein]

http://features.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/11/9135/9135_1133667675_medium.jpg (http://features.cgsociety.org/challenge/entries/11/9135/9135_1133667675_large.jpg)

Well I managed to merg them sucesfully,that took a lot of time,mow for few make ups,and people,my first idea was to make people stand there and rend them,but it was too complicaated,and reasons are poor,so i decided to paint them there... places sketch for people

[rankstein]

Well.it is here,You can´t see all the details cause image its too small.
But I´ll try to explain :)
It s not a car crash caz car crash is bad thing...On this picture the circus is leaving town,actually this is the end of caravan,you know the band and stuff.
People are more les happy bout those guys leaving, ;) few punks chee the hc band and kindergarten is totally surprised with what iz going on :)
People on walking place behind yust enjoing nice day.
You know about the whale from before,and the new car-carriage its from me mind,i thought It would be cool that the band plays while on the move but not so ordinary,and idea with a cowboy viping two tanks came by itself...
So the circus leaves,and I wonder myself ,was I guest or were they ?
