..pinup girl

[KRZ9000]

oh man! awsome - i love that style!

[mustan9]

Nice work! I too like the style.

Why do you have extra bones sticking into the butt area?

[IZZE]

I think that looks great. Nice style. Really looking forward to textures.

[harharchris]

nice! i love it. she's cute. :thumbsup:

[darbble]

That's AWESOME!!! How many polygons is she in her low-res state? With and without clothes?

[luciferous]

very very sweet style... I am loking forward to seeing some animation with her, definitly interested to see how you get her to walk, |I can imagine her having a very slinky kinda walk.

Think i shall watch this to see where you take it

[tabajara]

very nice! reallly very nice! i love this style and your modeling is really good too.

i've already done a model based on a sketch from the pinuptoons too, take a look
http://www.carlosribeiro.com.br/wips/pinup_girl_17_w.jpg

I'm looking foward to see more! :D
nice job

[AstroSanchezz]

woo woooo beautiful modeling on this one! :buttrock:
i love all those pinup toons characters too
i did one myself few weeks ago >> http://sterafilms.com/images/EVAdesktop1.jpg

hope you make a little environment for her too!

[Uncle-Ox]

That is some really awesome work - definitly a thread worth following

[bitBrain]

Looking absolutely great! Very good modeling proportions.

On one of the pics you can see her center line a bit too clearly, but that's easy to fix I guess. Can't wait to see the textured result! :thumbsup:

[the_WrongChoice]

Hey really nice girl, NURB :) llike the style
no real crits, maybe only her butt in the back view looks.... not defiened enough.. and when the mouth is open the lower lip maybe looks a bit too squareish...
but the girl looks awesome!

[AndyH]

Wow! Thats outstanding! Sooo slinky and sexy! perfect mesh as well. Her lower lashes are a bit too pronounced, but i presume youre gonna be putting a transparency map on them?

Truly excellent work mate - probably the best thing ive seen all day!

I was really tempted to make a girl off pinuptoons.com as well - theyre great designs.

Real nice stuff on your site - damn, youre talented!

[~SammaeL~]

Fantastic , i like your stile , good geometry hte eyes are beatyfull .

:thumbsup:

[TFarrar]

I love this model, great job cant wait to see more.

[FlexGiddy]

I love this model, great job cant wait to see more.

I agree totally

Ed

[sys0ps]

i too like the style...even though i'm a photoreal nazi LOL
just wondering one thing:

your approach is for a "PinUp" girl...which it could work....i was thinking more of a WWII style but to each his own. However are you familiar with the Bratz line of dolls for young girls? or how about the cartoon?

your model could fit in their world...yours is "cleaner" than the ones they use....!
keep it up man!

Bryan

[dmonk]

:thumbsup:

Very cute. Great silhouette!

[kengsing]

arhhh! i should say great cartoon girl model :thumbsup:

looking forwards 2 c it completely done

[logotomie]

Yeah, thats what i would call a beliveable comic female. supersexy :-) As for the rig, maybe the hip bones could be a bit wider?

[SnakeMind]

It is a very nice looking model, like the style, although it wasn't what I expected when I saw the topic title ;)
Turned out to be good :)
Hope to see more soon

[eMPeck]

Cute! Outstanding work.

[Rockmanex]

Beautiful. The wireframe is gorgeous as well.

[BlackAngel]

Great model! :thumbsup: Cant't wait to see it finished!

[hitoristudios]

Very good work! :applause:
To me, your 3D model kinda looks like Britney Spears. :surprised

Can't wait to see some animation. :thumbsup:

[learner88]

Really nice style!she seems a Bratz!

[NURB]

OMG, guys.. thanx for your comments! I really didn't expect such attention.
Thnx, Thnx, Thnx,!

So... actually, im not a texture artist, but i've desided try to make a texture for this lady by myself :) That you see here is the first attempt. (plese, don't look at the eye lashes :) ) And i was kinda surprized by the way she turned her look after the texturing...

Also, i've tweaked some polys, (i like the butt area much more right now) & made some tests with MaYa's hair system...

http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/4834/pintexture023wm.jpg

& some answers to your questions:

Why do you have extra bones sticking into the butt area?

this bones are for keeping the volume of the butt while turning thigs up to the belly; squashing while she sits & jiggling while she walk :))

How many polygons is she in her low-res state? With and without clothes?
6.000 tris fully naked & 7.560 dressed up. But, clothes still need to be tweaked really hard.

2 tabajara - i like you pinup girl, but the shoulders has too round shape, i think.

2 astro-sanchez - really, nice one!! :thumbsup:

2 Andy H - thanx, man! Your Etna is totally rocks!! I just love her facial expressions & the poses are really great too. Respect!

[AndyH]

SUPERB work - nicely painted textures that are simple, yet effective.

:applause:

keep at it!

[tabajara]

SUPERB work - nicely painted textures that are simple, yet effective.

:applause:

keep at it!

I agree!!

i want to see more more more :D

[BlackNull]

Excellent work, so low poly yet with so much visual impact. great update, very nicely painted, keep going :applause:

[learner88]

Nice textures,the skin colour is really sexy with those peach tones!

She won't be low poly,will she?

How did you rig the butt bones to make them jiggle?

If you haven't done it yet,I suggest to use 3 passive rigid bodies connected to the hips,positioned like a triangle,then connect the butt joints to a 4th active rigid body,that will be attached to the 3 passive ones by springs constraints.this should be work nice if you calibrate the springs well.remember to make the solver start from 0 frame,or ti will crash!

[AndyBa]

Great model! I would make tha facial topology a little different though.
You can't animate all the facial muscles the way it is now.
Some expresions will be difficult to obtain.

[AndrewHwang]

awsome style you got there. no crtis here.

[BicKet]

Nothing to say : perfect.

[Lamster]

I really like your style. I'm not very good at rigging, so I'd love to know more about what considerations you are putting into your rig while making this character. :)

[ares623]

awesome man! i also modeled a pinup girl some time ago.. after seeing this i think i might want to continue working on her too! again nice job!

[xtrm3d]

the proportion are really lovelly ..

that so refreshing to see a nacked representation of a women .. that dont bear gargantuesque boobs ..

great ..looking forward for update

[logistiks]

love the style! wanna see more!

[AndyH]

the proportion are really lovelly ..

that so refreshing to see a nacked representation of a women .. that dont bear gargantuesque boobs ..


I agree - the proportions are spot on and really appealing. Damn - its making me want to make another cartoony lass!

[far_rider]

Sheeeeee is cool n cute , dude.....!!
I realy lov the topology of her form.
And her expression too....
congats...
keep going.

[luciferous]

I agree - the proportions are spot on and really appealing. Damn - its making me want to make another cartoony lass!

Do it Andy.... DO IT - The masses demand it!

No seriously, I think this thread is inspiring alot of people to create something cartoony and out of proportion to a point where it becomes unbearably cute... I am try to resurrect an old character at the moment... but Andy.... do it!

[mindrot]

WOW!! Loveley. work. I really love the style. I like the slinkiness of her body lovely. I also like that she doesn't have huge boobs :)

One thing I noticed is that the arms seem a bit short, especially when compared to the concept sketch.

[Sinister]

I love the look!

So fresh and clean!

pure talent, I wish I was half as good as you!

[Cleveland]

yup. this is good stuff. checked your site too. you got skills man. now need um finished work.

cleveland.

[Totyo]

It seems that your image (the textured model) in page 2 is broken. I was able to watch it this morning... Can you fix it please ? :)

[animatorAtLarge]

Wow, she's great, I'm in the middle of a similarly stylized character. In fact I'm glad you posted such great wireframes it helps me with some of my topology issues. And you've used about a third of the ply's I ussually use just to get my base structure before I smooth.

I think she's mondo cool

[NURB]

..don't know what da hell happened with the "textured" image. Probably imageshack still have some system bugs. Well, anyway, i've already fixed my post on page 2. But, now it shows the second version of the texture. I've added pink to the front and butt, lighten up her nose & made some other minor tweaks... This evening i'll try to refine hand & leg fingers.

Thanx for you comments, guys!

[AndyH]

Any more updates? Im dying to see more of this character!

[NURB]

)) Andy, im trying to do my best, but I don't have enough free time to finish her in 3 days :). So, at least if you wanna see some minor changes: nails, tits, also a bit of refinement on face:

http://img427.imageshack.us/img427/3357/pintmp2iw.jpg

Right now, I think i'll start to skin her. Need some "rest" after 2 days of evening texturing, in fact that it's so unusual work to me. :)

[denkain]

I like this work, nice girl.:thumbsup:

[Totyo]

As Andy, I'm really waiting the end of your creation ! It's really "fresh" and interesting design !
Some animation later ?

[authentic]

Great style. Let's see how she will be dressed.

[Akoa]

Beautiful work, its very inspiring.

[NURB]

..actual mapping & texture - I already regret my decigion to cut off the foot from the leg in case of effective usage of the texture space. Damn it! Seams are pure EVIL :(((

http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/3746/pinmapping5pw.jpg

Eye lashes:

[cybernaut]

Great character style. She's cute too :)

C&C

One thing you might consider changing is her iris color, something as basic as a color gradient of some sort could be more appropriate for her style.
IMHO

[learner88]

The eyelashes are great!


so,nurb,how did you make the butt jiggle?

[nendo_3d]

is this model gonna be fully cloths? as in she won't be naked

[mindrot]

keeps getting sexier :drool:

[NURB]

so,nurb,how did you make the butt jiggle?
I'll shoose the one I like the most:
- manual animation
- write some expression..
- use one of the MaYa's dinamic systems (springs, hair, soft body e.t.c)

is this model gonna be fully cloths? as in she won't be naked
well... i think there definately will be pictures of her fully naked, & some of them fully clothed. Stay tuned! ^_^

One thing you might consider changing is her iris color, something as basic as a color gradient of some sort could be more appropriate for her style.

Oh, yeah. I totally agree. Thanx, cybernaut!

Some animation later ?
..actually, Im not an pro animator, but I'll try to animate her if I had enough spare time.

[Heber]

awesome work and style!
i think you just motivated me to model a cartoon female myself, i think its a good break from all the realistic stuff stuff i see nowadays.
Any specific references or sites you cant point me to with this style or art?
pinuptoons.com was great thanks for mentioning andy.
waiting for updates.

[MacAndre]

she looks so sweet. :thumbsup: i like the proportion very mutch and the modelling is clean and efficient... nothing to critic. great job. now i´am waiting for updates... :drool:

[Luki]

well.... its awsome, this model inspired me to another try, to bring pinuptoon girl to 3rd dimension:). I'm waiting for more girls from you:).

[rasmusW]

i'll surely agree with everyone else... AWESOME WORK :love:

ain't got anything else to say...

[kobeone]

I really love the character style. She's sssooooooooooooo cute. Great Jobs, its looking really good. :bounce:

[nelll]

so good.. i love it very expressive and sansual !

[wuensch]

:thumbsup:
superb.
Great work.Great style--

only critical comment:
if you want to animate her, it is not wise to model the arched back (model it straight and bend it with bones later) because it will be very hard if not impossible to make her bend forward believably (-> with round back) that way.

Keep up the great work , looking forward to the finished work!

olli

[enthombed]

cool modeling dude, i like the silhouete of this model, very cool

Cya

icaro

[NURB]

Sorry for the lack of updates - go too much work to do right now.
Anyway, Im trying to skin her bit by bit. Figured out that i need more additional joints to simulate skin & muscles behavior. Legs has a Blend Shape deformation correction, works fine to me...
Here, take a look:
http://img465.imageshack.us/img465/4483/pindeforms1yh.jpg

Some areas still need to be adjusted though.. Hope I coud have more spare time soon to continue. Thanks for all of your kind comments & advices!

[wuensch]

you are right looks perfect--
Great job!

Olli

[thehive]

you have a nice base for deformation jus use influance objects an do SDK at certin poses to keep volume

[ThomasMahler]

This looks great, I really dig the proportions and how you described the forms! Great job, Nurb, lots of potential here!

[O.Martin]

Like it a lot!

Subscription added :)

[AndyH]

Any more updates?
Id love to see this lady finished!

[NURB]

Any more updates?
Id love to see this lady finished!

Hi, Andy. Thanx for your patient waiting but... sorry pal.. no updates right now.
I gotta remove blend shapes from her and add more joints, then re-skin again.
Hope I can start it today evening.

[Lomax]

You're using Maya, right?
If you haven't already, you might want to try out Mike Comet's poseDeformer (http://www.comet-cartoons.com/toons/melscript.cfm) plug-in.
It's a nice way of controlling the deformations, without adding a lot of joints (unless this character is meant for real-time)

[NURB]

Thanx a lot, Lomax!
I've read the description & checked the video example of that script - it looks really nice & easy to use! I'll try it some time.

But I like to use only joints, due to a Game Engine's limits. Well, she's not for any game right now, but... who knows... )))

Anyway, thanx again!

[FlexGiddy]

So how's the progress? Any updates to show us??

Ed

[DaedraLord]

looks good, but is that wings???

if so how do you get bones?

[D-a-r-e-k--B-u-b-e-l-a]

I absolutely love your character! I was modelling a character based off Abbey Chase (Danger Girl) a short while ago, reminds me of it. The style is really stunning.

I noticed your rig had a few extra bones for keeping the volume when it deforms, so does that mean you don't do much weighting? I've been annoyed with all the rigs I've ever done and am trying to make one without bones entirely.

[wuensch]

I've been annoyed with all the rigs I've ever done and am trying to make one without bones entirely.

:argh: Iassume you mean without manual weighting ;-)
personally, I prefer to go without manual weighting as far as i can get, the Mesiah:Animate way of weighting as long as it makes sense-- makes it easy to change stuff later on.

--but then, sometimes its just plainly easier to paint a vertexmap and get done with it ;-)

[D-a-r-e-k--B-u-b-e-l-a]

Actually, I was considering clusters and wire deformers to animate a low poly cage all driven by objects and constraints.

I just recently fixed my issue with keeping my legs from wobbling, using a rig from rigging101.com, so I don't have any real reason to try my other method.

[NURB]

So how's the progress? Any updates to show us??
..is't really shameful, but i didn't worked on her already for a long time... ((

BUT!

I solemnly promice to make some progress today evening and post it here! I swear.
It'll be some pose to test the skinning.

looks good, but is that wings???
..wings? I'm afraid I didn't quite understand you..where do you see wings?

I noticed your rig had a few extra bones for keeping the volume when it deforms, so does that mean you don't do much weighting?
No. Not at all. Quite the opposite - weighting is becoming much more complicated... But i like the result.

[Heber]

I've been annoyed with all the rigs I've ever done and am trying to make one without bones entirely.


thats pretty funny...


we neeed an update nurb. :)

[Lamster]

I really dig the style you got going on here. Very clean and attractive girl.

[thehive]

Darek Bubela: hes using maya




hey nurb great stuff any updates on the rig , would be nice to animate her

[m0nicle]

cant wait to see it done. also a small animation reel would be cool. :wink:

[zeme]

Its so cool to see your work especially when I have played Nival games. Silent storm was amazing. Amazing work on this model really looking foeward for updates.
:thumbsup:

[Pickled_Poly]

nice man one thing thats not like the concept is the chin is to strong , keep it up

[dEDa]

we want upadets!!! :bounce::bounce::bounce:
;-)

[madheavy]

great stuff!!!

[Xion-Cajou]

The model is great, very effective topology... i especcially like the way you modeled
her belly and breasts. Deformation of the knees looks clean though this extreme pose.

[digitalputty]

Bump - for updates. :D
Cant wait to see more! :D

[AndyH]

I agree! More!

Ive been snooping around on your site - that EVA02 model is probably the best 3d eva model ive seen! You gotta post it here!

Keep up the goodness - youve got some killer modeling skills.

[mindrot]

Pleeeeeeeease update :cry:

~M~

[madheavy]

PLEASE UPDATE!:scream:

[TomerEp]

Looks awsome! I like the topology aswell, clean and ready to rig, please update, 7 pages of talks means its time for business :)

[digiplex]

AWESOME work dude! Very cool style! Keep it coming!

[Jerobi]

great job, she's super cute.

[AndyH]

Tsk - teasing us with your amazing half-finished model....

Cmoooon - update?


Or even post here more often. I was well impressed with the EVA02 model you made, and this chick is fantastic too.

[rasmusW]

hey nurb!

-come on, please give us some updates on this one.
this is one of the best cg chicks i ever seen.

-r

[NURB]

First of all - SORRY guys for the lack of updates on this thread...and THANX for all of your patience & kind words!! I really appritiate it:love:

Here's a bit of update, sorry, not much for now. It's a new skinning pose for her. I bend almost all of her joints to a near-medium position to reduce geomentry collapsing effect which often appears in standart T-pose binding. Also, spine was stretched a bit:

http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/8562/pinupgirlskinningposeyn7.jpg

Right now, I found the MUDBOX tool is very friendly and easy to aperate, so i did some test models, (you can check them here: http://eatpoo.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=45975)

So... i think i'll tweak my Pin-Up girl a bit with MUDBOX, & may-be even create a normal map for her...:) Knees, elbows and hands are defenately needs to have more details.

[AndyH]

Nice to see you havent abandoned us :D


I looked at the link, and your mudbox girl looks great!
I tried doing an Antoines De Pin inspired girl a while back and she ended up looking like a creepy dwarf!

Keep up the goodness :thumbsup:

[rasmusW]

hey nurb!

-glad to hear you are back on track.
can't wait to see your mudbox-moves.

-r

[morpheosdream]

nice model, i like :) , men you no have or you know any Tutorial of Rig & Skin?, i looking for one but i no find. you model is amazing ;)

[learner88]

sooooo sexxxxy!!i'm happy that you didn't abandone this project!!

[Dmaxer]

I love the look of this model :) please post some more pics :)

[NURB]

Reeeeeally sorry guys for the lack of updates. It's just 'cos I dont have spare time & what is most fatal - inspiration to move on.. BUT!, Eventually I've drafted NEW ONE. Check her out:

http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/1461/doll012rw.jpg

She's based on some anime-style concept... Hope she could reach at least same progress as the pin-up, but I'll try to puch her a bit further.. if only i would have enough patience...

[AndyH]

Cute!


I like the chunky lower half, and that hair is really neat and cool looking.
Good, clean wires too.

Hope you can finish something soon!

[shtl]

Yop! Very nice proportions :) And nice polyflow!
Glad to have you back.

keep it up pls!

[rasmusW]

hey alexey!

-really hope that you'll continue this one. i like her form.
looking forward to see your progress on the head.

-r

[chindian]

Wow man... I really love this thread. The girl looks fantastic! I love the style and your use of topology. Very efficient! I do have one question though - the lack of looping rings around the eyes - does it create any problems with animation? Just wondering about how some of those tris fit into deformations when rigging and animating.
I love to see how people use carefully placed tris to make topology more efficient...

Well - keep up the good work - and I definitely would like to see her animated.
The second character looks kool too - a bit chunky, but undoubtly that was what you were going for! So thumbs up!!!

This thread has 5 stars from me! *****

Peace.
-T

[NURB]

Thanx guys for paying attention to this thread. Really apreciate it. :bowdown:

2 chindian
I always use tris and non-looping rings in my models. It's kinda you need to actually PLAN your tris placement and predict their behavior after being skinned. & if you do so - they work for ya just fine.

[jramauri]

All your stuff is very impressive. I really like the last char, and I'm looking forward for updates. It seems you already have a lot of fans, now you have one more! :)

[Imagus]

Just found this thread. Checked the first page, then skipped ahead to the last, and had to backtrack to find out WHAT happened to the model. Then I got back to the last page and read the part about it being a NEW one. :p

I'm very much impressed with your sparing use of polys in the model. And, as much as people talk about how hard it is to get photorealistic characters right, I love seeing a 2D design brought into 3D. In this case, you've done a great job translating a flat image into a three-dimensional shape.

I also like the fact that you modeled a nude, with the intention of adding clothing. Keep in mind that, depending on how you plan to handle the clothing, you may want to create multiple versions of the model, one for each outfit, rather than getting tangled up in the Great Web of Cloth Simulation Tweakitude. :)

Finally, it's always good to take a break, work on something else, then come back with a fresh set of eyes, but be careful not to let the first model fade into the background, never to be worked on again.

Keep up the good work! :thumbsup:

-= Imagus =-

EDIT: Can't get to your site, NURB... it says that the domain name expired. Is that true?

[NURB]

Oh.. about my web page - it's temporary out of order, 'cos... i just need to reconstruct it and.. well... I just forgot to pay for it in time :banghead:

[~SammaeL~]

Hi Nurb, great work, il love your stile,

[Annhialator]

Reaaallly love your work and lineflow it just fits!, and not much polygons too boot as well.
I'm also a big fan of some refreshing cartoon cg characters they have well....character :)
Can't wait to see how she turns out

[younglion]

nice work nurb, i like the modeling its very clean.

[jjcoolio]

Great modeling Nurb. I really like you models. You've got some great tallent !! 5++

[hitoristudios]

Wow! It's been a while. The newer model is looking very interesting!
Can't wait to see more development from this one.

[CharlesVarenne]

Really nice modelling. Keep going. Want to see more.:)

[madheavy]

Please update!:bounce:

[ultramedia]

Hey everyone,

I love the super stylized look of this characters design, and I'd like to try and do some characters of my own in this style (the first girl more than the second). Unfortunately I'm not much of a 2D artist so I rely on references.

Can anyone recommend any artists or sites online with artwork of characters in this style? One caveat - and please don't take this the wrong way - I understand this style is deliberately a very sexy style, but I'd prefer to avoid any references that are (explicitly) pornographic (hopefully that doesn't narrow the field down to nothing). Also, it'd be cool to see some males in this style as well as females.

[NURB]

Hey everyone! Here's a very little, but surely an update :):

http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/561/rendernt6.jpg

You may notice that her face looks very close to the previos one. Well... that's just because I borrowed her eyes and modified them a bit... Or, they are sisters.. who knows

[mindrot]

WOW!!! That's just lovely... and not to mention very cute. I love those chunky little legs. Reminds me of a doll. Keep going...

~M~

[kattkieru]

Yeah, I gotta get in on this thread too and ask you to post more updates. Even just watching a bit of your progress has changed how I look at some of my own topology. Please keep going!

And out of curiosity, what kind of art training background do you have? Your mudbox stuff was really on point, realism-wise. Not the head so much, but the body just amazes me.

[NURB]

It's a pity, but I don't have any art or graphic education. :sad: I work already for 11 years in game development industry and most of the time my goal was to create all kind of game characters wich cames out from our art director's twisted mind. Also, working with many talented people every day, side by side greatly improves knowledge in modeling, design, art, animation and many other things. Practice is great thing.

To learn a human body i use Bammes book of Anatomy and it's the one I'm looking through almost daily...

[jjcoolio]

I knew from the models, that the creator really had a lot of experience. wow 11 years thats awesome!

I saw your website, your female work is my favorite. I would love to see more of your fantastic

work in the future.

-jinwoo-

[JackZhang]

oh i love the second one! so cute!
not sure if i like her eyes, but the body proportion is very interesting. keep it up!

[madheavy]

any updates recently?

[NURB]

Hey guys, glad you still stick with this post.
Reeeeally sorry about no new posts, curse me - i just got to make some progress with her!
Must really force myself `cos right now im so busy with supervising animations for our next game project...

Hope i could manage to find some time to create at least skeleton for her.

[tate77]

Fantastic! The mesh is so clean. Killer Work!

[Dmaxer]

yeah Iam still keeping me eye on this one and looking forward to seeing more updates :)

[NovaKane]

i love the cuteness that your models portray :D
cant wait to see some more ^_^
keep it up
