FXWars! THE OCEAN!: Jonas Ussing

[jussing]

Forgot to specify, I'll be doing "The ship".

[rblitz7]

well judging from your lava river I could tell yours is gona be awesome!!

[Dravenfr]

Good luck !

I hope it'll be a pirate ship ? :thumbsup:

[Limponi]

good luck:thumbsup:

[jussing]

Thanks guys, you're too kind!

Yes, it'll be a pirate ship (or similar, from that age), with torn sails and all.

My first step is to model the ship (gathering reference right now).

-Because I know I'll never completely finish putting the "finishing touches" on the water, so if I start with the water, I'll never get to working on the ship. ;)

However, since the water is what the challenge is about, I'll have to do some darn quick speed modelling, and get the ship over with quick.

Will update soon.

Cheers all,
- Jonas

[jussing]

First update, the ship.... the reference is mainly The Black Pearl from Pirates of the Caribbean, the goal is to have a modelled ship by the end of the day.... rather optimistic, perhaps...

Cheers,

[jussing]

...this is all for today, I'll be back tomorrow! :)

[DESPISTADO]

nice ship its looking great, this gonna be a great simulation

best regards

[jussing]

Thank you, I've been forced to up my standards after I saw your chinese fishing boat. :)

- Jonas

[rusdom]

Yeah the chinese fishing boat looks nice, but yours is really coming along too! I'm really liking it so far, can't wait to see more. I love the style of ship you chose.

[jussing]

@Rusdom: thanks! :)

Wednesday's update...

I feel like I'm moving at snail speed, every day I hope I'll finish modelling the next day...

Fantastic stuff! Going to be great learning from you guys! I will probably enter the next fx challenge but wouldn't have the time for this one unfortunately! :sad:

[Wytze]

:thumbsup:this going to be great, i had the pirateship idea also but since your making it already i will leave you with the honours.

the model is becoming a real ship more and more every time i see it.

Maybe i will join the wars, just need to find myself some time for it.

Goodluck i'll be watching you (^_^)

[RedSquirrel]

This ship is looking awesome :applause: , the stairs and the cannons are looking great, and I love the barrels, just the size of that barrel next to the cannon seems a bit out of scale. Besides that, great work! :D

[Kutkin]

great stuff!
the model is very good indeed.
Will be watching you too:thumbsup:

[Dutchman]

That's absolutely awesome, Jonas! :scream: You really got that 'main shape' very nice! I'm looking forward very much for the ocean itselfes! :)

What about the freelance-project? Is it an interesting one? :rolleyes: :D

Have fun & Luck! :)
-Gijs

[jussing]

Thanks for the encouragements, guys! :)

...working on the back now...

EDIT, forgot to answer this:

What about the freelance-project? Is it an interesting one?
It was, actually, but I had to decline because I'm too busy with a deadline at work. The project was an environment for a cinematic for E3, which would be really cool for my CV. Technically, I don't have time for this ocean clip either, and the ocean clip doesn't even pay, so you may ask why I didn't cancel the ocean challenge to do the freelance clip... Answer is, no-one is gonna sue me if I don't finish the ocean challenge. ;)

Cheers,
- Jonas

[JB]

That looks awesome :thumbsup:

What app are you using?

[jussing]

Hey Max, thanks! :)

I'm using 3dsmax 7.0.

Cheers,
- Jonas

[jussing]

...beginning to look ship-ish. :) The sails and masts are still temp.

Cheers,
- Jonas

[jussing]

...finalizing sails and ropes...

I still need some lanterns and a pattern on the back of the cabin.

And those large, tall triangular shapes on the sides will be replaced with patterns of rope.

Cheers

Beautiful :thumbsup: . Could you show some wireframes? I like to see how skilled modelers work :)

[jussing]

Aww, you flatter! :blush:

here's a wire....

The sails will be smoothed to a higher poly count.

Cheers,
- Jonas

[Limponi]

very very nice model
:thumbsup:

[3DEffects]

Great jonas! well done! keep it up!:)

[niccollas]

Hi, Jonas :)

Your ship is fantastic.
Congratulations! :applause:
the pink plan will be with opacity map?

Cheers
Nícolas.

[jussing]

the pink plan will be with opacity map?

Hi, thanks!

No, I won't use opacity maps as they don't work well with Max's render elements (they will render as solid in zdepth and lighting passes :rolleyes: ). I plan on building all the ropes and knots.

But unfortunately, I doubt I will finish in time, as I have zero time to work on it for the next 14 days. :shrug:

Cheers,
- Jonas

[rquinn]

Hey too bad i was looking forward to your results!
Oh well one man overboard!

[jussing]

Well I will finish (to much effort put into it now, to just skip it), just don't know if it will be in time for deadline. ;)

Cheers,
- Jonas

[rquinn]

Ok ok,
well then hope its finished before I retire!
jussing you! you better finish it!

Comon man YOU CAN DO IIT!~

[RobertoOrtiz]

Hope to see an update soon. The dateline is fast approaching, so you have enought time to render the final scene.


-R

[jussing]

so chances are I won't finish. Still, I'll give it a shot!
Yup, I'm not finishing. Sorry.

I hope lots of other people submit their entries, there were lots of really cool water preview renders all around.

Cheers all,
- Jonas
