Eon (3D Scene) Entry: James Kaufeldt

[Meteoro]

Congratulations, I enjoyed your final work.

Great skills and a lot of hard work.

I hope to get at this level someday.

Cheers-

[gpepper]

just a cool scene ! The animation is great !
Nice work James !

[Squibbit]

hello


nice video and sound

altho ending part with michale jackson n stuff was bit hasty.

very well portrayds how the popster is grown stiff on limbs n facial expresion after
all those operations, lookin thru all em books for yet more possible adjustments to
his physical self.

i like the elvators , *shhingg* *shwoosh* and the mystery city outside, wowz

birds looked a bit stiffly too :( maybe it was hallucinations, or theyr like pantomime
birds, like parrots , but instead of sound, they mimic moves, in this case, the stiffly
popster



.

[JamesMK]

Umm... yes :thumbsup:

[OZ]

WOW! great image! I like it a lot! fantastic mood!:buttrock:

[flyingP]

i like the elvators ,

I lke elevators too :blush: 'cept the ones in a certain parking building...although it could be that those are just actually moving toilets :curious:

[sergioKomic]

see James, now you REALLY should be worried :D



Whaaaaa haha I missed that!


heh (Ill see Dimitris on monday want me to tell him anything??)

heh!

[zer05um]

Of all the key locations in the book, the libraries are the ones that I've always had the hardest time visualising.

I LOVE your take on them however.

[taavi]

Hey James, just wanted to say "thanx again" for Your post in my thread. I managed to establish some kind of workflow that works. Every tower has to be rendered separately but at least my computer doesnt freeze anymore :) And good luck with final composite&animation! How far are You?

[userBrian]

Excellent achievement. It is quite elementary that the half eaten sandwich is under Patricia's left hand as she reads the book. Or what is that? Very magical feeling, fitting for a place of wonder.

[tlggungor]

Good Work...james

[arturro]

Good luck on final moments:) You didn;t tak epart in those rush hours at the end, you have to try it next time, 2 heart attacks per hour :) And maby I will try to finish earlier :)

[JamesMK]

OZ - Greetings, well, you've done some kick-ass stuff in your trailer too

flyingP - Hm... I honestly thought it was a toilet - my apologies for any inconvenience

sergioKomic - No no no, just keep a safe distance from Dimitris, he is very dangerous

zer05um - Glad you like it

taavi - No problem, happy to help. You'll find my finals a few pages back here... somewhere... I stuck to the original deadline, so you'll have to check the back-issues so to speak

userBrian - I have no idea! Someone else must have put it there.

Tolgahan - Thanks, dude

arturro - Good luck to you too - and, naaah, I think I'll pass. Much more comfortable to be ahead of schedule... stress isn't good for you, you know.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyways, let the waiting game commence! 'twas a fun challenge, although I wish I had had more time to spend on it.

Congrats to all who managed to get their stuff together and submitted before the fat lady started singing! - I'm absolutely positively sure you've all done a great job and everything (this is my lazy way of providing a blanket "good job!" to everyone at once, thus saving me the trouble of checking around for threads I might have missed :D )

'til later, folks!

[TheFirstAngel]

Too late ...already called the little bastard...hehehehe....i believe he ordered the base of the statue of his teen pc...they are going to put it in the center of his living room for general bow honours or something..Heheheh...

[JamesMK]

Laurent - Cheers man, yep, there will be some serious boxxing soon enough :eek:

SweD - Hey, yours was still one of my top 3 favourites

gpepper - Thanks, and it wasn't deliberate at all

Demitsuri - :thumbsup:

Atwooki - Greetings, Chris, thanks

Dimi - lol, no 'master' please. I say 'yes' to some beer excess though... nut

gG - :thumbsup:

Das Pork - Heh, NUKEMBUGS sounds like the kind I'd want to use. That warning about the phone came a bit too late though...

Dimi - Yep, I've already started making arrangements for it. Moving some furniture and squirrel carcasses out of the way to clear some space in the middle of my livingroom

[flyingP]

Das Pork - Heh, NUKEMBUGS sounds like the kind I'd want to use. That warning about the phone came a bit too late though...


no kidding, who do you think gave him your number :twisted:

[Gunilla]

Gunilla - lol - that's the classic Gert Fylking, isn't it? :D



Right it is! ... but his is sarcastic and mine is not :)

Good luck with that Boxx, you're going to do wonders with it I'm sure.

[DenialK]

Blob! Congrats here too, on teh intarwebs! Except for the obvious lack of sandwiches (that someone pointed out earlier) and flying toilets, the scene is quite good!

Also: Someone named Karin.. Corlo.. Corleone something.. says she wants 20.000 Euro for playing one of the 9 flutes in the middle part of the OST. Now.

[JamesMK]

Piece-of-pork - I know, he spilled the beans pretty much right off the bat

Gunilla - Hope to, actually

Bastard - I'll send her a severed head from an elderly horse... hope that's sufficient

[flyingP]

Piece-of-pork - I know, he spilled the beans pretty much right off the bat



give him a plate next time then :rolleyes:, and I am assuming you were unaware that there are certain dangers inherent with giving Dimitris beans anyway

[mmoir]

Congrats on the big win:thumbsup: :thumbsup: , your animation truly was very cool.

[digikris]

[JamesMK]

[flyingP]

[DimitrisLiatsos]

HEHEHEHE....nop..that's me after breakfast...why do you think Piggy made me sleep on the basement..?...lol

[flyingP]

HEHEHEHE....nop..that's me after breakfast...why do you think Piggy made me sleep on the basement..?...lol

you had it good, the rest of us were sweating like crazy upstairs that summer.....and the paint is still peeling from the walls

[JamesMK]

HEHEHEHE....nop..that's me after breakfast...why do you think Piggy made me sleep on the basement..?...lol
The main question would be - what they hell do you usually eat for breakfast?

[DimitrisLiatsos]

..Indeed...i was in the coolest place !!....

[DimitrisLiatsos]

The main question would be - what they hell do you usually eat for breakfast?


oh..the usual...Souvlaki, TZATZIKI, ...red peppers...and Beans...eheheh

[JamesMK]

Well, that would definitely explain a lot - more than just flaming flatus that is :scream:

[flyingP]

oh..the usual...Souvlaki, TZATZIKI, ...red peppers...and Beans...eheheh
LOL beans heavy on the garlic ...........:scream:

[DimitrisLiatsos]

[flyingP]

Heheheh..wait till u see what i will make for breakfast at your place...eheheheh...oh the pain...oh the misery...lol........ :)

you might find making breakfast a bit tricky there dimi, I believe James only has Snus and coffee in the cupboards

[makaron]

Hej and congrats :scream:
nicely done James .. :bounce:

I hope your little pink rabbit get an extra carrot now...

[angel]

Hey James, just wanted to congratulate you on a job very well done. Congrats man you deserve it.:thumbsup:

[userBrian]

Congratulations- don't let your avatar sit like that with your new box after breakfast!

[arturro]

yap, you have to show us some photos of your new baby :) I remember vampeta's joy and funny photo after GSO.

Congratulations and respect! deserved prize :thumbsup:

[JamesMK]

Dimi - I worry about you a lot sometimes

Pig - It just so happens that snus and coffee makes the ultimate breakfast, lots of proteins and um... generally nutritious substances...

makaron - Thanks, I just have to find a pink rabbit first. Might turn out to be slightly tricky.

snows, userbrian - Cheers dudes

arturro - Ah, indeed - I promise to snap some... er... bizarre photos whenever it arrives :bounce:

[flyingP]

LOL didn't even know you were expecting James :D

[JamesMK]

LOL didn't even know you were expecting James :D
Don't know any other way to explain my pot belly

[flyingP]

Uh Oh ...........

[DenialK]

Bastard - I'll send her a severed head from an elderly horse... hope that's sufficient


She wants 20.000 severed heads from elderly horses.

[sergioKomic]

[pepper-boris]

(sorry for my english!)

scootermaya - Cheers, man

nah is ok was just hot air ( ... watches yet more paint peel from the wall )

[userBrian]

So them-

I hope to see you in the next trailer challenge- And you will be making a trailer- with your box and all- as you have preserved the very fabric of the space time continum. Lets see your 90 seconds of fame! I know I am an addict! Do you say it?

[Chango]

Congratulations James!

I just saw your winning piece!

Very nice work with the impressive library and great cinematography! - Calmare FTW!

Now I want to see the whole movie! ;)

[JamesMK]

And all of a sudden - everything has finally arrived!

It's simply unbelievably cool.... XSI 6 Advanced is an absolute beast, Modo is chugging along in all its modeling and painting splendor, and today the piece de la resistance arrived fully loaded with an Athlon X2 5000+ and the evil powerhouse known as the Quadro 4500.

Everything being beyond awesome, you'll have to invent your own words here... I'm happier than a clown! I'd say it's around somewhere around the 3 - 4 clowns mark!

Onwards with the photos, in chronological order:
