Another Gollum

[leigh]

Nice so far, however I think that perhaps he looks just a little too friendly...
Also, give him nasty teeth - these ones are too perfect!
Looking forward to seeing some more :)

[S E D A H]

Hey gabe nice start.....j en ait vu pas mal ici mais letien est le miuex aprtis pour la ressemblance..............a part sa les vacances c cool?

[Koma]

thanks leigh ,your right i have alot of difficulty in making bad character

et merci sedah ,ouais ben les vacances sont bien mais je les ai pas mal passer devant l ordi .


Here an update

[Nelis]

it actualy looks like the original character. i am impressed.

go on......................................
nice model so far

greets niels:thumbsup:

[CarlCampbell]

Leigh, thats not a problem really, if you remember TTT, when the character reverts to his Smeagol alter-ego, he puts on those sort of faces. IMO, this looks like an in between state, as Smeagol is more scared and worried whilst Gollum is more wicked and cunning. ;)

Carl :beer:

EDIT: Other than the ear needing more smoothing (I guess you'll get to that though) I think this is the best mesh of gollum i've seen so far. Mike's got the best texture job though, so I'm wondering if you might even beat him at that too! :wip:

Carl :beer:

[mlabrams]

woa, fix the ear and witha good texture thats ****ing awsome, the hair touch soooo did it

[Flog]

Oh my goodness gracious, :scream: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Aaron Moore]

This is definately one of the better ones i've seen... i really like the hair and eyes.

[spr0g]

looking good

to make him look a little meaner... get rid of the smile. that should make him look a little less friendly

[Daveaustin]

That's pretty damn fantastic... i saw the Two Towers on sunday.. and i gotta say, your gollum is spot on!

i think it's great how you've managed to capture the two sides of Gollum's personality.. the small innocent creature, and the evil possesive gollum, that last render sums him up...

Keep the updates coming :thumbsup: What software are you using btw?

[Koma]

Nelis thanks but i think he still need some tweaking since he will be like the original ,but inma really flate about your comment ,thanks

CarlCampbell thanks i will probably try to make too shot one friend ly and one angry let see ,and i will start texture soon


Daveaustin thanks alot man ,but the personnalty will probably be better ,i m now trying to achieve a kind of neutral look and after i will make a really friendly and a really angry .

mlabrams yep the ears are in progress they are better in this update ,and the hair are also really in progress will try to achieve the ugly crapy feeling that we have on the real

thanks alot spr0g , Aaron Moore , Flog

okay so here an update on the model ,i will probably start texturing tomorrow ,so much project in the way .

[folau]

Hey gabe!
pretty nice gollum you got there! very expressive that i like alot!
but there are some things you should chek if you want him to resemble to the real one like the jaw bone who seems to me a bit small and the noze ...anyway man this is looking great:buttrock:

[Vladvrz]

If there was not already a Gollum your's woyuld be the one they would have used. It's quite nice. Well done.:thumbsup:

[Sandpiper]

The modeling is quite PRECIOUSSSSS....

Seriously, good stuff. His expression is creeping me out just like the original's did.

[Xyllon]

I saw the movie and want to see it again just to observe gollum, your model actually made me say "oh my God". great great work

I hope i can do something like that soon.

Edit: what modelling method do you use, and are yopu making him out of memory, or do you have a couple of Ref images?

[karabo]

man this is one of the best Gollums that has shown up on these forums, nice job. :bounce:

[Spliff_Richards]

[ray]

[Titan]

WOW that is looking really nice man.... I havent read this whole thread yet, just curious how you achieved the hair affect..is that flat geometry with an opacity map or modelled pieces?

[Spirit2029]

hey great work on smegal there. Im happy to see a fellow XSI user getting some results from the program that so many people hate.. Anyways I was just curious what you did with the hair, if its along curves? and if you simply got the wet look by using fewer strands that were thick with a high spec? If not how? Im really looking foward to seeing you get him all textured....

Sprit2029

[toce]

really looks like the original! :thumbsup:

[samartin]

Jaw droppingly good stuff u done, I only got 2 c the film a few days ago... when every1 was on about how gollum should get an oscar 4 the performance I was thinking WTF, but now I have sooo changed my mind...

sorry a lil' off topic but some anims when u get sorted would be sweet, WETA watch out :thumbsup:

[Koma]

okay so here the start of the texture ,with to different setting of light the first one is when i will be smeagol and the second when he is gollum ,well i think that iam a better modeler then a painter he he ,so here the start

[S E D A H]

nice Gabe ............you got it...........c juste les yeux qui me derange essai d avoir un meilleuir look au niveau des yeux et il va avoir l air plus vivant c les yeux qui sont le reflet de notre personaliter et qu est qui aidait beaucoup dans lord of the rings le look vivant de gollum d apres moi c etais c yeux.....lache pas bo travaille...............

[Jabo]

Delicious, absolutely delicious, my preciousssssss ;)

Great model, I love the way you made the mouth area, although the original gollum's lips are bigger, somehow fat as if they had been filled with silicon. Anyway, I'm impressed!

[leigh]

Those image maps look really cool, but I think the skin is glowing just a little too much...

[Spirit2029]

Hey Koma looking great. If your using final gathering on the head, which it looks like from the glow under the eyes and in the mouth I have a suggestion. In the photon tab of the material there is a radience setting, i think thats what its called, anyways it uses black and white values to define how much light the skin soaks up. Now you can paint a black and white map for this same as any one, so try that, painting under the eyes, mouth, anywhere the mesh overlaps closely really dark, black almost, and then the higher parts a little lighter, should stop if from reflecting light from itself so much.

Anyways nice work, how did you get the bottles to look like that, especially in the transparency? How did you get the shadows to be lighter and darker acording to the glass? look very nice...

Anyways keep going, this is looking great.. have a looksy at the character im working on right now too.. http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=34865

Have you got a job yet? and if not what are your future plans?

[Dr.Jones]

Juste un petit truc que j'ai remarqué pendant le film, et qui pourra te servir, puisque apparamment tu veux faire deux versions (smeagol et gollum) : la taille de la pupille change en meme temps que de personnalité: smeagol a la pupille dilatée, tandis que gollum l'a tres contractée. Bon je chipote, mais en meme temps c'est plutot flateur, paske si je te fais remarquer cela, c'est paske je pense que ca en vaut la peine, que ton travaille est tres reussit et que ce genre de detail ne semblera pas decalé avec le reste (je ne l'aurais pas signalé à un gars dont le gollum aurait ete pourrave, ca aurait pas chagé grans chose)

[hiko_]

Excelent Gabe !
Happy to see your work on XSi.

XSi pawaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!!

[Koma]

iam not happy with the result of the texture and the render ,but like i already i have to go back to my principal and most important project for this time ,my anim school project , i hope i will find some time to continu this one ,let see

thanks alot all ,for your comment and support
