The Journey Begins Challenge (3D) Entry: Dimitris Liatsos

[Art2]

I hope that fat guy's weight doesn't sink the boat... I like him :)

Go Dimi!!

[azazel]

Hey Dimi :)

I like the last one (the one with spectacles), reminds me someone i know... so i guess you did the personality part well :).

...Ok...except all that i had to do some minimal sculpting earlier 'cuase i don't need to load all that detailed Disp maps in the distance they will be shown ...so here is a first thought how they may look in the scene. I 've kept all 2K Disp maps of course 'cause i think after the challenge these guys diserve a scene of their own..hehehe..

C&C are welcomed.

[ihamid]

hiya, wow cool zb modeling there! :bounce::bounce:

[DimitrisLiatsos]

@ Cgkoko ..... :bounce: ...heya Kosta!...i like the fact u are in this too after so long...u nut !

@ tuck Thanks friend...But i love more yours...Thai Power is killing me :bounce: .Have fun friend.

@ shakes ..thanks friend...but noo...it 's only one and then i just experimented with facial analogies in order to produce a different personality..( actually it wasn't needed...but i am having a blast with ZB today..lol).

@ elmasfeo ...U are SO right...Indeed :eek: ...he is the guy who collects..the sleezy one...maybe i should give him thin lips but this could make him look a bit on bad guy side..eheheh... :D

@ Art2 ...ahhaha...sink the boat ...lol...don't give me ideas..please.. :D :argh: :D

@ azazel ...aaahahahah...I know uwho u mean...and i actually saw this drawing last night at my disk...hahahaha...well..indeed maybe subconciously i was thinking of him too... :scream: :thumbsup:

[thebest]

hahaha cool glass :twisted: lol:bounce: keep going :thumbsup:

[soapy]

Hey Dimitris, good work, that head turned out top notch!

[azazel]

@ azazel ...aaahahahah...I know uwho u mean...and i actually saw this drawing last night at my disk...hahahaha...well..indeed maybe subconciously i was thinking of him too... :scream: :thumbsup:


hehe, i don't know who you mean, i meant a guy i know in 'real life' ;) ... But with that texture he reminds me of Michael Clarke Duncan a bit (or i was just watching The Island ;) ).

Ok, i may have a crit as well - the eyes. Both eyeballs, and the area just around the eyeballs could use some work, and some detail.

[monks]

very nice character ! :) and good texture !

[shakes]

very nice textures..looks amazing! love the spots.

[monsitj]

arggg! nice one dimitri! do you render him in xsi for maya? very cool texture and model!

[scootch]

I love it.. although I think the hat might need a little work.
you can see a repeating pattern and stretching at edge of the at. given the distance it's going to be looked at, I guess it's not a big issue..
But I still need it needs some wear and tear. A weather worn look would be real nice with that hat.

[se7enthcin]

I'm digging the changes. Keep going! :thumbsup:

[SONIC-X]

Realy great modelling you are doing here.

[MVDB]

hey Dimitris!
love face texture, like the glasses..
can't wait for more! :thumbsup:

[rattlesnake]

wow man...youre rushing here! the shadeded versions is really amazing my friend, almost fall of my chair when i saw this great update and modeling session..very good, no crits..:bounce::eek::applause:

[Gunilla]

Wow! Dimi, this last version looks great - so much personality for being an alien! Wonderful work with the spots :thumbsup:

[Elendil_le_Grand]

Wow !!! I'm very impressive by tour work :thumbsup:

[AIR]

Nice Dimmi.
Liking what I am seeing.His blue glasses are fited so nicely.

.

okay this looks great, rounding of the cheeks was a great move, and the texture rocks.

i was a bit worried when i saw your early versions of this , it looked just like some
uber-eagerly z-brushed dude , it had nuthin much else than big wrinkles here and there.

now it looks cool, keep at it :thumbsup:


.

[nandlaskar]

nice work dude:thumbsup:

[asbassie]

Love the work you've done so far - You have an amazing hig level of detail and i think the final will blow all our minds. Keep it up.

[mmoir]

Hey Dimitris,

Great job on the boatman , the glasses are a great touch to the character.:thumbsup:

[Stefan-Morrell]

those glasses really do add to the character..awesome work,

[makaron]

seems that Fatso is going to be a snappy dresser... :thumbsup:

[paperclip]

My favorite so far is 'fatty', he has great personality! I love the outfit and the general body shape. No crits, I'm afraid!

[Zapan]

:surprised -> :eek: -> :drool: ->:bowdown: -> :argh: -> :banghead: ->:cry:

Now I know this is gonna turn out great. Good luck.

[SONIC-X]

Great modelling,you must be putting lots of hours into this.

[JurajMolcak]

Oh, let me just compliment you. Nice wip board you´ve got around here. BTW: Boris Vallejo - that was my first "teacher". I was so in love with that "old school" fantasy style. Than Frazetta and other masters. Keep up good work :thumbsup:

[sergioKomic]

Heavy hand(s) on your back....


Deep voice:

[tuck]

Woauw you work so fast, really good modeling!:thumbsup:

Nice work Dimitris, I just started out on this comp so to see how much you have done already is scary but it's good to see you being concise and posting so many updates - nice thread.

C&C are welcomed....

[DimitrisLiatsos]

@ shakes, Elendil le Grand, SONIC-X , madshooter .... thanks friends. :)


@ M477 ...thanks friend for your kind words....i try to be concise with the updates for two reasons..1) people can see the wips and stop me if i am doing something wrong, before it's too late.
2) ...less experienced artists maybe helped by some points in the workflow.
3)...simply ..it's on the rules too... :scream: .



@ Lemog The Nut Dadda ...Nyaark-Yoinks....:bounce: . Thanks Dadda! ...long way for perfection but it's a nice journey :) .

@ Zapan ...nyaark ! - Yoinks.. :eek: ..faster...errr...ok....the Alll city background detailed :scream: ..I will start Sunday night...will finish ...Sunday ..night...:scream: :scream: :scream: ...nyaaark ...what did i say...By the way thanks for the render of your Lady in your thread...hehehehe :twisted: .


@ alancamara ...thanks friend...he is i think very good in proportions but i have some mistakes in arm muscle systems..it's difficult to stop myself from work on it more...but i have to leave it for a frame with them alone..not now in the challenge...i will never finish if i start detailg out this guy...

[Silgrin]

Great chars... I see your models will be strongly styled... Looking fwd for more.

[se7enthcin]

This is really coming together!

It may just be me but I am not sure about the tough guy's muscles. It seems that they are too defined to be in clothes. :shrug:

I am enjoying your progress!! Keep going man! :applause:

[Zapan]

SLOW DOWN !! I'm scared for your health !! :surprised ... breath ... breath ...

the Alll city background detailed ..I will start Sunday night...will finish ...Sunday ..night... ...nyaaark ...what did i say...

U won't dare ! ... nah ... you can't do it ... you're obviously not fast enough ! *whistles* ... right people ? Who think Dimi can't do what HE SAID !! ... *raises hand* :scream:



cheers U nut :bowdown:


-Zapan

[makaron]

Who think Dimi can't do what HE SAID !! ... *raises hand* :scream:



Nyark! http://hem.bredband.net/makaron/smile/shy.gif



the boat and the men looks so good... :) really nice work here Dimi...

[Selina42]

Hey Dimitris! Its amazing how much youve achieved! I do agree with Se7enthcin about the tough guy's muscles -but other than that its pretty darned flawless! For some reason with the face ridges, he reminds me of a buff Vogon!

[thebest]

cool updates I like that tough guy alot keep going :beer:

[gu]

Hi greek!

good stuff on that challenge. anxious for more stunning elemnts.
best luck

...Not much time today ..so here is Tough Guy textured for scene....

Some UV stretching in some points...but i am too sleepy to fix it now..also i doubt how visible will be in final scene.

This is for Mona who wanted the male element in the scene more visible ... :)

C&C are welcomed.

P.S ; thanks everydody for visiting and commenting...i will be more social tommorow..i promise..ZZZZZzzzzzzzz

[Climax]

looking good Dimitris, nice texturing, hes got some extrange eyes :thumbsup:

[ChewyPixels]

Great work so far Dimi!

I know what you mean by the UV stretching. Looks most noticeable on the lower part of the toughman's shirt...right above his left hip. But I'm sure you'll fix that once you get your much needed rest. :)

Also, I personally think the toughman would look better with a wider brimmed hat. Just a suggestion.

Keep up the great work! :thumbsup:

[alancamara]

Fantastic, very original cloth and great work with shading.

Cheers,

Alan

[monsitj]

latest update is very nice man! but I don't sure about his hat ! if you want chinese or vietnamese boat man ,I think his hat is too small for that ! great work man!

[rattlesnake]

hello mate...well clothes are looking really nice as usual on your works..i also like a lot the skin shader u used..great work Dim:thumbsup:

[dmonk]

That sir, is pretty bad ass.

I think his flesh could be better, but I'm sure it'll be great in the in. Nice work!

[thebest]

very powerful texture :thumbsup:

[Womball]

Wow! Kind of reminds me of Baraka of Mortal Kombat combined with Raiden. The texture on the shirt is very large though and I think would look better if were smaller. It does look stretched. Otherwise awesome work!

[Nazirull]

Arggh...Dimi!! Do something crappy instead will ya!

Kidding man...awesome as usual...

[makaron]

This is for Mona who wanted the male element in the scene more visible ... :)

ohhh... he is a really handsome guy... :p a true hunk I have to say... what a body... what chest and nice muschels... :love:

Thanks Dimi... for showing a male...:bounce: haha

Nyark!... well done... nice work ... :thumbsup:

[se7enthcin]

I like the shirt! :applause:

Much better with textures.

[Elendil_le_Grand]

Yes tyhe shirt is wonderfull :)

[gpepper]

excellent work on shader, texture and rendering Dimitris ! great job so far ! :applause:

[Zapan]

:surprised ... impressive work !

:bowdown: ...



I had the same thought as Monsit about the hat tho ...

cheers ,

-Zapan

[DimitrisLiatsos]

@ Climax ....:beer: ...Heya...hi my friend..i always see your pms in MSN ...and it's always 10 hours later...too much time difference...how are u man?

@ Jedi-Juice ...thanks friend..arghh ..today i've seen how big error is there with UV's ...will fix that...and experiment with hat too.. thx!

@ alancamara ...thanks friend...i think it will look better with some more time on it!..:beer:


@ monsitj, Zapan ...thanks my friends...About hat size..oh u are very right...but i was so sleepy ...heheheh...will fix it..it's has to be about double size i think..but i will check some references too.. :bounce: .


@ rattlesnake ...thx mate. Skin shader is pretty basic here...no specular maps ..not good bump mapping or SSS..i don't think it will be need in this scene though. I like very much these guys already so i will make a scene with them alone later ..

@ dmonk ...thx friend. Yup..i agree skin needs some more work (and the UV's on cloth aswell )

@ the best, maranello55 ..thx friends...:)

@ Womball ...thx friend yup cloth looks stretched..will fix that...about texture size on shirt...no don't think it's too big...my unkle is a fisherman in his island and he has a shirt like this...it has big knots ..and it's heavy to wear..lol...but i will think on it..maybe it needs something more...

@ makaron ....nyaaark ...u want something better?...i take orders! nyaaark...yoinks !:scream:


@ se7enthcin .... Thx..that is why i didn't answer directly to u in your last comment (about muscle show too much in tshirt)..i wantet u to see it with textures on...do ya think it stll needs to smooth muscle definition? :)

@ Elendil le Grand ...thanks my friend.

@ gpepper ...Masta!...thx...will need to check again on your tuts about SSS in Maya i think...the funny thing is that i 've sorten this out faster in XSI..lol....but now this is all shaded in Maya so...runs to check gppeper's thread...wooossshhh! :scream:

[Lemog]

Really good style for this guy... very original... mmmh... uv's ? better will be not visible sir... very impressive job... for a greek :scream: hahahahaha... sorry mate... maybe I'm better now... cause I can't resists... go Dadda... :thumbsup:

[stavrevstefan]

Wow...I really like what u doin Bro...Will keep an eye on thie thread...

Good luck

[SONIC-X]

That looks realy good ,very original I must say.Keep it up.

[Jaba153]

So here a start for bridge in scene...


C&C are welcomed.

[DimitrisLiatsos]

@ Lemog ...Daddaaaaa...u are back...:wavey: ...hhaahha..thanks my friend.


@ Stefan Stavrev, SONIC-X, Jaba153 ..thanks friends ..i am happy u like him...i will fix many things more on him but it's good to have some start on their shading before end...that way i can have a previz of scene soon.


:bounce:

[makaron]

makaron ....nyaaark ...u want something better?...i take orders! nyaaark...yoinks !:scream:

Ok, Dimi... here it goes... handsome, kind and funny, at least 1.90 cm tall, dark hair, blue eyes and welltrained... around 35 years old, a loooot of money, and like to spend the money on me.. nice cars and a big house... :p
haha... and his name have to be Yoinks Nyark!

BTW the bridge looks nice, as far as I can see... looking forward to the whole scene now. so hurry up now.... :bounce:

[shakes]

you're working so fast Dimitri! the textures on the guy are brilliant! Good start on the bridge, too.

[thebest]

hmmm :curious: bridge :rolleyes: it is cool but where are u going to put it ? :curious:

[DimitrisLiatsos]

Scene so far with bridge in it....tried to make Bridge as simple as possible and also make it stand in image as a passage between the two different civilizations...


C&C are welcomed.

[thebest]

now I must say very cool updates keep going :thumbsup:

[Zapan]

Hey Dimi , great update ... again :thumbsup:
I had a thought about the passage between 2 civilizations ... And even if it's a subtle meaning , I'm afraid that the spectator will miss it ... I don't know what you have planned on the city background but Maybe you could illustrate the 2 civilizations on the bridge , making each side differents ... by architecture , or ornements , ... maybe put some more importance to that bridge ...

.... well just some morning thoughts ... NYARK !

Looking for more mate !

cheers ,

-Steph

[loverdose]

even un-textured, teh scene lookds great. it proves that your composition is strong :)

[ecura]

This thread is full of nice models. Going very very well. Keep it up!

[JurajMolcak]

Dimitris, this is not only about nice characters... I see wonderful architectural experience too. Might be one tought about bridge construction. I am not architect at all, but I think you need something to protect that arc middle part. Looks not very compact to me, like you mixed two bridges into one. Might be I´ve got a bad day, ha ha ha... :thumbsup:

[a-papantoniou]

Very nice! I love the space in this. The eye can travel straight through the image up to the moon. I agree with Oweron about the bridge. Maybe an expansion of your support-suspension system that you have on the sides might help (but it might get it dangerously close to Calatrava style :rolleyes:)

[tuck]

Nice composition!

[DimitrisLiatsos]

The two guys from the boat...i guess u think.."..where are they looking at?.."...err...to the third one ...he is coming...heheh


C&C are welcomed.

[dmonk]

NIce!

Excellent Job on the two characters. I looking forward to see how they look with some facial expressions.

[DimitrisLiatsos]

@ the best ..thanks friend... :)

@ Zapan..Nyaark Yoinker Nut Frenchie ...heya..thanks..u are right..i was thinking of something more simple (just a stone ark bridge there)...but i neede to put a model there to see how this all work together...from what u and a-papantoniou also said..(kalatrave fear..ahahahhaahah) ...u are right..it needs a lot of though there...iit needs to be simple thoughi think...'cuase it is easy to destroy the all composition with wrong bridge there...we will see..Thanks friends for the comments on that :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

@ loverdose ..thx ..i hope...'cause usually my composition sucks.. :D :D

@ ecura ...glad u like them friend...i just wish i had some more time for the challenge... :banghead: ..too much work these days...

@ Oweron ...ahhaha..don't worry friend u are ok. I just made a fast design on it to see how it works on composition...my first interest is to make the bridge balancing the image..and less to be technologically correct..but i still have some thoughts...it will take a bit i think to figure this out...Thanks for dropping by friend. :)

@ tuck...thx friend..i just hope it get's better .. :wip:

[se7enthcin]

They're so cute. :googleyeyes:

[stavrevstefan]

I like it a lot except these details :

1. The pants on the guy on the right(don't like the color)

2. That thing around his left shoulder(for the guy on the left)

3. That litle pocket on the guy on the left(on the left side of his stomach) does not look good...

4. The shirt on the guy on the right where it meets the pants , there should have more volume...Like this it is very flat...

5. The guy on the left has his eyes up...Looks kinda interested by the thing that got the guy on the right very concentrated and kinda prepared for battle...It will be better if he looks in the guy on the left or in the thing that the guy one left looks at...

6. Don't like their fingers.I think human-look hands with lot of veins will look better...

7. The clothes on the guy on the left are too clean...

8. The guy on the left has very strange shape between stomach and legs...

If i did not like this i would not boder to write this stuff.Hope i helped a litle and hope i did not sound arogant...

Good luck

[makaron]

are those two waiting for me... :bounce:

[shakes]

really great character design-I really love their faces alot..such personality! keep it up mate!

[Gunilla]

man your ability for creating environment is really NUTS!! i envy u..great modeling so far..:thumbsup:

[Vedic-kings]

Great texture and shaders!

[paperclip]

Papa Dimi....been a while since I've been here, sorry!

This is all looking great...I love the setting, the dock and the bridge in the background is wonderfully, deeply mysterious and I can't wait to see it all 'atmospheried' up. I have my fingers crossed for you as a winner...yes indeedy...much hopes from little clippy here.

Only one crit...the arms on the taller guy seem far too short...when I stand up and put my arms down they reach to mid thigh. This guy's arms seem to reach to his hips. Also the shorter guy's mouth looks as though it would look a bit better a bit higher up. I hope you don't mind me ripping apart your stuff mercilessly, it's fantastic and these are the only things I can find wrong with them, it's coming along fantastically! θαυματοποιός !

[shahabp]

I wish you had your other characterthat you had in first andsecond sketch

I mean the lady and .....

...the boys decided to give a fairwell picture before the journey.

I have to some things to improve on them as noticed, also the binding to skeleton of the last did come as well as i wanted...but i intend to do so near the composition time...much more important things to make now about this.

C&C are welcomed.


P.S ; I am not a naughty bubble..i will answer to every one after i get some sleep first...ZZzz :D

..thoughts on Bridge.....i kinda like it as it is in the lower frame and without the wires..(wooden structure)...

..hmmmm.

C&C are welcomed.

[MT-Cup]

I believe you mentioned earlier that the bridge is the divider between the two worlds. If that's still the case, then yes, I'd go without the wires. It'll give it more of a low-tech/hi-tech combined feeling that I think you're trying to convey.

[M477]

I don't know I think I like the wires more (my bad), the bridge seems more interesting with them included. It also looks more structurally sound as it has that design curve that only suspension bridges seem to have. But I'm sure when it all comes together whichever way you go it'll work, it'll come down to personal preference in the end and it's best to avoid 'what if's :)

[Climax]

I like the wireless bridge, though it looks kind of impossible, I mean: Wooden, with no pilars nor wires, that's what make it fascinating to me, but all depends in the overall environment, such extrange bridge with some dense fog for example, could create a misterious magical touch, by the other side You will always find the guy who says "what? that structure is imposible, you know nothing of architectural design and shouldn't even use a computer" hahahaha, well you know what I mean:scream::)

[Dervish]

the brigde design is really nice, i like the wires too, perhaps not so many tough?

[sergioKomic]

Its hovering thanks to Magic Anti-grav beams....:scream:

CMON AFUFGZ!

[oceanbluesky]

Cool bridge, very dynamic sweep, looking forward to seeing your full design -- good luck!

[Vedic-kings]

Wow the bridge is very cool!

[thebest]

nice and strange hmmmmmm nice and strange lol keep going :thumbsup:

[monsitj]

nice dimi! I really like the concept of future and low-tech combine together ! remember the good old day bridge from your grand space opera:thumbsup:

[se7enthcin]

:applause:

I love the bridge. I like your creativity.

Thank you for being so supportive in my thread! I need all the help I can get!

[Squibbit]

cool bridge, the texture is great too

Rockin' bridge Dimi !! and really ... not that simple !! :)
All those details , totally awesome and stylish !!

cheers ,

-Zapan

[Nazirull]

Dimi...great show man....loving it so far...:thumbsup:

[Art2]

dammit you're a machine Dimi!
Great looking bridge, maybe add just a few (thicker) wires to make it more plausible?
Your characters are great also, but I don't know about their hats... :)

[DimitrisLiatsos]

...err..finished model of Bridge ..i think..i added a minimal central holding of bridge..i deleted big wires stuff..made it look too tech..i don't want that...


Don't worry about structural integrity..i don't give too much importance to that ..only to make it fit in enviroment...it may need some details here and there...but i will see that as the project evolves...

Quick shading in XSI is just for color place holders before i export it to MAYA.


C&C are welcomed.

[DimitrisLiatsos]

Thanks friends for all comments...i decided to go with the bridge without too much wire stuff...more simple..i will make it all wooden and some cables hanging ...i will lit it accordingly to the night env..i hope...


thanks for the crits and help on this....friends....:bounce:

[gpepper]

Another great modeling session Dimi !
You are a master !

[Agamemnwn]

the bridge looks great Dimi,i like the walk sections and the bigger on down for vehicles :D :scream::thumbsup:

[alancamara]

wow, fantastic bridge, no crits.

Alan

[rattlesnake]

the design on this bridge is very good friend...and well i like the wires one, but i think "climax" made some good points, the truth is that i know that whatever u choose is going to be very good choice, you have an expert eye.:)

[thebest]

nice and strong update

[shakes]

very impressive bridge-looks futuristic but old world at the same time-great stuff! nice textures too.

[spirogyro]

Hey file!!

nice to see you again. Hopefully this time you will win something (finally). :) Anyway, I don't know if it's been said before, but just like in your last contest, I feel that your composition is not very good. In both works, the horizon line is DEAD center. Which as most know, this is a big no no. There are very few perspectives to give it more of a dynamic feel. I believe that if you rearrange your layout and pick a better camera angle, it will have a much more powerful impact. You are an amazing artist and I wish that you were able to show your work better. I'm a huge fan of your work, keep it up!

[DimitrisLiatsos]

..Bridge Shading...Make note that the same Ambient Oclussion Node is attached to every shader's Ambient.

This will be a bit more dark and blueish in final image and with small lights with linear fall off in many points.

...differences....the final scene will be a torture in lighting..lol..

C&C are welcomed.

[M477]

Knew you'd choose the right path with the wires ;)

The central strut down the middle is a nice touch, the bridge itself reminds me of a galleon from pirate times, very stylised.

Keep up the good (hard) work! :wip:

[makaron]

nice, really nice... :)

Hope this helps friends.

Yikes...thanks friends for dropping by and for crits and comments...i will try to make a better compo than before and i am really gratefull for the time to spent to write here...thank u. I think it's better to visit everybody's thread and give some push/crit there ... :bounce:

:)

[stavrevstefan]

I have just one question : Would u like to tell me how did u make the clouds.I want to create similar stmosphere for my work for the chalenge....

But Dimitris,why so many joints on so unneeded positions.I am not sayin it is wrong,but i see for the first time this kind of rig.U r so much more experienced then me so if u want to give more info on the rig i would be glad to learn it and start makin rigs like u...

By the way why don't u use FULL BODY IK ?


Keep up the great work...wish u good luck...

[se7enthcin]

I had no idea you were a fellow Maya guy like myself. SWEETNESS! Keep it up man! :thumbsup:

[3dRaven]

The others have come to snatch unsuspected travelers in their boat :) ( a little lost pun)

Great updates Dimi. You using maya soft or mental ray for this great stuff?

[Vedic-kings]

Very cool!

And you are a maya user! Looks like we have something in common:D

[thebest]

thanks for the tut lol "well let`s face it I was going to ask u that question lol"

[Zapan]

Hey Dimi !

Bunch of nyark , because I wouldn't think at all to use paintfx to make a rope ... and it looks so great ... I think I really should start exploring maya on of these days :argh: :)

Spiffy work Dimi !

cheers ,

[shakes]

great stuff Dimitris..thanks for showing the interesting details.

[Selina42]

Hey Dimitris! Wow I dont get in the forum much for a week and when i look in again its just silly the amount youve done! I'm very impressed and jealous! All fantastic quality work -i particularly like the features of Stalonus Alienatum! And the composition of your scene is looking marvellous - it really draws the eye in!

[makaron]

lovely ropes you made, can I borrow them to my image :p so I don´t have to draw them with the pen... :blush: haha...

keep on going Dimi... :bounce: Nyark, nyark... you have to render more images for us too see...

[angel]

very nice work Dimitris, keep it up.:thumbsup:

[DimitrisLiatsos]

@ stavrevstefan ..clouds?...clouds here are just a backdrop image...i don't know yet how i will do clouds in final image..will see. Joints in unneeded positions?...actually not unneeded at all...that way u have less area controlled by each joint and so u have much more control in skinning..and faster..:) About full Body IK...din't think of that at the moment...should try that ..thx!

@ se7enthcin ..yup i am...but also XSI and Zbrush also sometime now...:bounce: :love: :bounce:


@ 3dRaven ... thx man...some tests are Maya soft Render and some MR ..the final will be all MR i think...

@ Vedic-kings ....:beer: .

@ thebest ...ahahahha.

@ Zapan ...Nyaaark - Yoinks...:bounce:

@ shakes ...oh my pleasure..it's just some stuff that i din't think it was need to show how they are done...been a Maya user so long so i kinda thought it was nothing special..:)

@ Selina42 ..thanks Selina. Let's just hope it stays interesting till the end...i hope.

@ makaron ...hehehe...yup i will Lady ..thank u!

@ SNoWs ... gracias friend.

I have started on the guy at the end of dock...i am modeling him in that pose from the start...i will update later tonight with any progress on him....

thx for crits and comments...:bounce:

That rig is ok i guess, for makin just pose .But for animation definetly FBIK...

Good luck Dimi

I like what u've came out with so far. looks very promising and i totally dig ur characters. salut for being dare enough to include so many characters in a scene. atleast this is something that i haven't got the guts to do.
I wonder where did u got all the time??

P.S ; thanks for comments and crits friends.

Yeahhhh Zbrush !!! :bounce::bounce::bounce:

[Elendil_le_Grand]

Well curious to see the nexte step :)

[MT-Cup]

I too an interested if you are doing a step by step. I have just started playing with Zbrush and I don't find it intuitive at all. Always nice to learn from a master.

[Lemog]

Whaouwww... a pet for Dadda... :scream: :thumbsup:

[thebest]

hmm let me see :cool: this is a dinosour :rolleyes: no it is a .....:hmm::hmm::hmm: it is something :argh:
very nice something u have there keep going

[adel3d]

Hey Dimi!

Ohhhh! you work with Zbrush too!What's up everybody uses it.I think it is good to test it some day but your modeling ability is really good and I am sure you do'nt need it.Models lose their originality and the topography of the model won't be consistent with the model.So for displacements and scratches... many faces may be used to show it.besides; I am afraid that these lots of faces while simulating by render engine will be so slow.and when we want to animate sth other simulations like cloth and dynamic ...will be slow too.
Anyway,wish you luck my ciggarrette freind.

@ Lemog ...haahhaha..if i had a pet like that ...hahahaha..wait till u see it finished...hahahah..i am still experimenting...:wip:.

@ thebest ...wahaaa...good idea...let's name it ...The Something....hahahahahah.

@ adel3d ...Hi my friend...yup me too...some time now about 6-8 months..can't remember..heheh. Thanks for the kind words...oh don't worry if u plan to go to animation with a model that will be worked in ZB u just have to take care some things first...then it's ok...if u model a face it's ok again 'cuase u can use a wrap Low Poly Drive ...or u can use the original model and put the Displ on that comes from ZB...slow on render?..no...not so much. And after all it's fun. Thanks my friend. :beer:

Man on Dock model finished..i think.

I may go in ZB for some displacements on clothes...but my first thought is to keep this simple as it is...


C&C are welcomed.


P.S; By the way , from Monday i am free person. After nine years in the same studio i thought i should go on in a new journey...waahaaaa.
So if anyone needs modeler or animator...u know where to find me.

That meens also more free time for this challenge...i hope...lol.

I will answer to everybody later tonight 'cuase right now things are a bit difficult here...:scream:
