[Zapan]

Thx you guys all , Have you already seen a little korean french guy running like a crazy around his desk ? :bounce:

This is a multiple challenge for me ... First of all , I'm know squat about Sci FI , I confess that I didn't even watch all the Star Wars (stop laughing in the back) ... The new challenge system requires an animation , gonna be tough ... and to finish I don't know the book at all ...
I stormed in the book store but they didn't have it .... and I will have to wait a couple of days to start studying the thing ... This week end I should have a lot of studies to do ...
I just hope that the copy I will get will have the original names (unlike LOTR) to be able to understand what you guys are talking about ...

Anyway the main thing is , that so exciting to be here again and share this new event with you all ... Have tons of fun and best of luck to everyone !

cheers ,

so we can eat all thrue the challenge... :bounce:

good luck... and a good luck ..., ..! from the GPs too ;)

[Darksuit]

I know the feeling. I had to start scouring the Net to see what I could find for info on the book and Author in general. On one hand I do want to know more, but on the other hand I don't want to know too much at first, so that I can really create some wild ideas.

Good Luck!

[soapy]

Hey Zaps good to see you back in! I wouldn't worry too much about the book, I am pretty sure the theme is just to 'make an epic sci-fi picture'. ;-)

[Nothingness]

hey zapan, i surely hope you're gonna finish this one !

cheers

[PrincessSarah]

[Gunilla]

I've forgotten something Cadet... the resume... in frencg please :scream: hahahahaha...

PS : where is the thread of Scooty ?

English could be fine to start with... until you manage to do the swedish one :scream:

[Elendil_le_Grand]

Yes I put my games on side ;)

[collings]

@ Collings : hey Nicolas , thx for dropping by and your wishes ... you're not gonna join ?


Well not this time, i'm really busy working on my demoreel! As soon as i finish the Trarch i 'll work on another one :twisted:!

[scootermaya]

Hi Zap' ! Goooooood to see you here budy :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: !

Good luck man

[Zapan]

@ thierry2005 : hey Thierry ! Really great to see you here again cheering ....:)

@ Lemog : you want a french sum up the book ? ... enough challenges for me ... 500 pages ... I should make some coffee now , eventhough I will start the reading only tomorrow .... and scooty's in now .... I spotted him in the back :p

@ Nomad : thx a lot mate , my best wishes for you too ...

@ Crin : hey , thx a lot friend , will try to do my best ...

@ Gunilla : and now I have to translate it in swedish ? ... I think you are in trouble miss , since I only know the birds noises in swedish .... and I doubt there's a lot of birdies in the outerspace ... :D

@ Elendil_le_Grand : alrighty then ... let's have some fun mate now ...

@ collings : arf too bad , well not that bad since your models are so great ... keep up the great work and maybe we will see here the next time ... :)

@ scootermaya : wheeee .... could I borrow your machine for a while ? :D

Alright after many readings of the inspiration part and some net surfing about the book ... I think I may go for the fifth or sixth chamber ... the fifth could be really interesting in an artistic way , because all the atmospere and mood ...
In the other hand the sixth chamber really attracts me with all the mechanics and machines ... could be great for me to explore this new side of the 3d ... it would be different than always make characters , trees and grass ....

Of course the real book and the entire description should give me clues for the choice ...
So that's still thinking time for me right now .... :rolleyes:

cheers ,

[cbernardo]

Hi, Zapan, You have great works! I'll follow your EON project.

No my friend, just a couple of sentences to explain what is exactly the story... and the topic :scream: hahahaha

[daWinky]

Morning Stéph!

So you think of a change and perhaps make this mechanical stuff? :)
And I just thought to have a change myself and start with a character, especially the "Frant" is nice...nobody has ever seen one, so strange modeling is then just "creativity"...:twisted:
But like you I'm still in the phase of searching for a concept...

Happy reading and thinking for you!

-sabrina

[Pooyag]

happy to see you here again ;)

[Rod Seffen]

Ha, this is hilarious, 4 pages of replies and she hasn't even posted an image yet, while other threads with great work in them already have nothing.
Is she a really cute looking or something?
I'm really glad the winners are not chosen by public vote, but based on merit.

[agou]

Yeeeaaah, Steph is here too! Of course you chose 3D scene challenge, and that's a good thing - there's always a sort of guarantee to see a good work. And you're going to get another community price, non?:thumbsup: - that's a minimum.

Oddity> of course, the popularity of a thread doesn't determine the quality of a work. Stephane is the champion of spam, that's all.:D And that's not "she", that's "he" (at least I guess).

Keep it up Steph - thinking of you, reading and reading before starting this challenge...
:bounce:

[madshooter]

Glad to see you in this challenge.:)
All the best:thumbsup:

[Zapan]

@ dogmatico : hi , thx a lot mate , glad you like the works .... I'll try to do my best ...

@ beelow : Heya Bryce , thx lot friend , wish you all the best too ...

@ Lemog : ahah , I was kind of hoping that someone would sum it up for me too ... apparently it involves a big Rock ... and an heroin ... pretty much like a lot of books ... I have to keep digging the story then ...

@ daWinky : ahaha , right , creativity or originality ... I like those words ... as much as the word weird ... Have a great time reading too Sabie ...

@ Pooyag : Heya Pooya ... great to you're in this one , best wishes for you mate ...

@ oDDity : I guess you're right , I probably shouldn't deserve so many feedback from old challenges buddies ... now tell me , why are you posting only here then ?

@ agou : Heya Sophinette !! ... well let's just say that I'm aiming for at least finish this one ... Yes , I'm finally reading ...

@ madshooter : Heya Roshan !! great to see you entered this one ... my best wishes for you mate ...


Alright finally got the book ... w00t ... Hope I will have something to show during week end ...
Happy reading/sketching/painting/maybe modeling .... everyone ...

cheers ,

-Zapan

[jddog]

@ Lemog : ahah , I was kind of hoping that someone would sum it up for me too ...

same music for me

[Intervain]

Hey there Stephane! Good luck - I'll be watching your thread to see what emerges :)

[Gunilla]

apparently it involves a big Rock ... and an heroin ... pretty much like a lot of books ... I have to keep digging the story then ..

And rock and heroine is enough to go with I think - so go, go Stephounette ;)

Got anywhere with that translated resume yet? I still haven't got the book...:D

Hey guys !

Alright I've finally chosen to go with the 6th chamber ...

There you can see the very entrance which opening on a huge stairs high enough to contemplate a big part of the chamber ... I would like to include a lot of things like the water falls , some kind of huge mechanical units floatings ... I will try to keep some kind of old machine room with a lot of pipes and round containers ...
That's really ambitious to me since I've never done that kind of stuff , but this is so exciting ... :)

I also would like to include Patricia , maybe walking down the stairs , staring at the chamber ...

I'm working on a more overall view right now and I hope I will be able to post it soon ...

Anyway , let me know what you guys think of ...

cheers ,

-Zapan

[Zapan]

@ jddog : ahaha ... that's a really big book or I am really lazy ... :D

@ Intervain : hey Magdalena , really sweet of you to drop by , thx a lot for the wishes ... why are you not joining ?

@ Gunilla : MAS ? :curious: ... Well when I will finish the book , maybe I could send it to you ... ok with the french version ? :p

cheers ,

-Zapan

[Gunilla]

@ Gunilla : MAS ? :curious: ... Well when I will finish the book , maybe I could send it to you ... ok with the french version ? :p


Mon Ami Steph ;)
Concept up already! It looks good so far - it will be really nice to see you do a scene like this, with all the pipes it's rather far from what you usually do. I think maybe you could add some strange details - to separate it from machinerooms of today. Perhaps some vents in interesting patterns, bolts with starshaped heads ... you get the picture. This will be fun to follow!

French version? Sure, as soon as I've finished the chinese version :scream:

[gpepper]

Yeah I found that part of the book interresting. I thought that it would be cool to do it...
Let's see what you will do with it !

[Intervain]

I do like the concept a lot!

I was thinking about joining but I don't know the book and I'd have to read it first... + I'm on the move once more... new country, new house blah.... so once more I'm sentenced to watching from a back bench :)
Good luck again!

[makaron]

Like it Zapan...

and nyark! :bounce:

[daWinky]

Hey Stèph!

So it will be the 6th chamber for you!? Certainly interesting, we're ready to discover the first polys!:bounce:
And how about your progress with reading the book?:twisted:

-sabrina

[Lemog]

hmmm... rock and girl... but they're not in the scene ? :scream: hahahaha

The concept and the story keep already dark for Lemog :D waiting for more, in any case, your first drawing seem promising... good point :thumbsup:

[Elendil_le_Grand]

I like this concept me too and i'm very curious to see the begining ...

[SweD]

you start on the 6th chamber...wow...I wish you good luck ! Your sketch is good, concept depend on scale, waiting for more. :thumbsup:

[Zapan]

Morning friends ,

@ Gunilla : hey GPG :D , thx a lot , yeah I know what you mean ... I would like to find the right balance with the known stuff , to situate the view and also some new designs to keep the sci-fo fantasy ... errr , who said it was a challenge .... :eek:

@ gpepper : thx Gillou , it's gonna be tough , but I will try to do my best ...

@ Intervain : Thx a lot Magdalena ... arf too bad you can't join , it could have been really cool ... thx again anyway for following this :)

@ makaron : ahahah , bunch of nyark then ...

@ daWinky : morning Sabie , and thx , I think this should be fun ... except I'm already nervous about the polycount ... The book is going well , I think I'm in chapter 9 or 10 .... And I discovered all the chambers ... but to me the 6th represents the biggest challenge for me , so there we go ... :)

@ Lemog : ahahaha , that's right I do have to include the lady .... but do you think I could put some sexy outfits on her too ? ... :D ... thx Laurent , I'm gonna keep sketching for a couple of days , to really know where I'm going for this ...

@ Elendil_le_Grand : Thx a lot Nico , glad you like it ...

cheers ,

-Zapan

EDIT : @ Swed : thx man ... well I will try to post another shot , a global one , to figure out better chamber ...

[Lemog]

M
@ Lemog : ahahaha , that's right I do have to include the lady .... but do you think I could put some sexy outfits on her too ? ...
Why not Cadet... as there's already some pipes in the scene, not ? :scream::blush:

[Zapan]

ROFL .... ahahahaha :scream: :scream: :scream: .... la pauvre Patricia .... elle est pas au bout de ses surprises ...

[flaeticia]

ROFL .... ahahahaha :scream: :scream: :scream: .... la pauvre Patricia .... elle est pas au bout de ses surprises ...

loule :D

j'avais cru voir Laeticia :@
lol !D
mais non ! ouf et heureusement pour toi d'ailleur ;)

So now about ure sketch : i like it ! i think sarah help u so much with her personal coaching :p
The idea is very good, but the point of vue, gives me the idea that the chamber is very little, very obstructed.
Wait about another great hand sketch :)

[alvin-cgi]

nice one, wating to see more:)

[Gunilla]

@ Lemog : ahahaha , that's right I do have to include the lady .... but do you think I could put some sexy outfits on her too ?

The people demand funky boots! :scream:

[SONIC-X]

Hey dude,whats up.

Interesting concept your going for there-and don't forget the sexy dame to complete the scene.

[madshooter]

Nice concept Keep going:thumbsup:

[JamesMK]

As long as the promised funky boots are included, I'm all for this concept. That aside, the 6th chamber seems to be a very popular place.

[shakes]

the rough looks awesome Zapan! this should look amazing I think.

[agou]

Hi Scar-go, I see you're not wasting your time... did you already finish the book?
Interesting concept - a human presence in addition is a good thing too.

M that's right I do have to include the lady .... but do you think I could put some sexy outfits on her too ? ... :D

Maybe you should re-use your lady elfe from TJB challenge? That will do I think ;)...

Funky boots? I vote for!:bounce:

[beelow]

Interesting concept! I am waiting for your 3d to come together good luck buddy!:thumbsup:

[soapy]

Great sketch Zapz, it conveys a lot of atmosphere and gives you a great base to build from.

[TheSoracle]

So now about ure sketch : i like it ! i think sarah help u so much with her personal coaching :p
The idea is very good, but the point of vue, gives me the idea that the chamber is very little, very obstructed.
Wait about another great hand sketch :)


Agree. The chamber seems small and seems to end too quickly. Other then that great sketch Steph :D

[Climax]

I see u hitting the pipes already! cool, I am Still reading the book wich I found as a pdf version, I think after reading it my eyes will be completely burned out and won't participate Lol, Happy to see u moving my friend Keep it up, by the way, yeah Patricia will give a nice touch walking around....or as I remember the gravity on that chamber is lower due to the singularity, perharps she should appear floating, but I am not sure, gotta re-read that part, Keep it up Brouty! :thumbsup:

[ThierryS]

Good choice of subject Steph. Wouch ! lot to be expected on that one hehe. So keep pushing it it's a good start!:thumbsup:

Hey friends ,

Here's an idea of one of the big floating units which regulate the atmospheric pressure in the rock ...

let me know what you guys think of

cheers ,

-Zapan

[SweD]

:surprised OMG such a great design on it ! don't change this one, it rocks.

[Zapan]

@ flaeticia : thx , well I would like to make the entrance and the overall way hall very obstructed to keep the feeling of the "there's a lot of machines" kind of look ...

@ alvin-cgi : thx mate

@ Gunilla : Mon derriere rouler , .... ok you got it .... funky boots , jewelry ... but I'm only doing this for you guys .... :D

@ SONIC-X : hey Corrie , thx a lot mate ... yes , sexy lady ... it could be a hot weather in that Rock too , right ? :D

@ madshooter : thx friend

@ JamesMK : thx a lot James , yeah apparently , a lot of people is going for that chamber .... so I guess my concept will be the Funky boots ....

@ shakes : thx friend

@ agou : heya the Sophinette , ahaha , oh dear that book is endless ... I fell asleep several times on that baby .... scchhht ... wait , you want me to reuse the elves ? ... mmh is it allowed ? and not at all off topic here ....

@ beelow : thx a lot friend

@ soapy : thx mate , yeah I think I'm gonna start from that ...

@ TheSoracle : thx a lot mate !

@ Climax : heya Omar , thx for droppin by ... yeah Patricia would be a nice addition in that mechanical ambiance .... I just hope I won't screw this up .... lot of things to do then ...

@ thierry2005 : heya Thierry , thx a lot friend , yeah the amount of work is kind of scaring for me .... erk , what the hell , that's all about fun right ?


Alright eventhough I didn't think about all the design of the chamber , I think I'm gonna start to work with polys from now on 'cause I'm a little afraid that I won't have that much time to work on that during the following weeks , so I have to move on pretty quickly ....

have all a nice day ,

cheers ,

-Zapan


EDIT : @ Swed : thx a lot friend , glad you like it

[Nothingness]

nice concept Stéphane!

Is it going to have a dark atmosphere? The concept looks a little dark gothic without the gothic :twisted:

i can't wait to see the bigger picture :thumbsup:

[Gunilla]

Wonderful sketch! Is that the heel for the boots? :scream:
Seriously - I think this can become really fine - I especially fancy the symmetrical, mirrored design. Feels very fresh :thumbsup:

And now some polys, please!

[TheSoracle]

Really like the new sketch. The only comment is that it seems too far away. Maybe more of a close-up would be better.

[gardogg]

I saw your anatomy forum and now your work here. I am very impressed. You are such a talented artist and it just keeps getting better!

[DimitrisLiatsos]

Cool idea Stephane :)..what will hapen if u multiply that to ..let's say 4-5 and then roll cam a bit to the right...:twisted:

Keep going..i am watching with great interest ...

[SONIC-X]

Cool new sketch Stéphane.

[daWinky]

Hey Stéph!

Oh, no hot female with Prada-moonboots, but an airpressure-regulating machine:eek: ...Good choice:) !
It looks huge...and great of course!:thumbsup:

This will be a good start for the 6th chamber...Can't wait to see the first polys of this mysterious machine!:bounce:

Have a nice day!

[Zapan]

Morning friends !!

@ Nothingness : thx mate , I got to say that Gothic is not really the type I'm looking for ... I'm actually trying to find something between old machinery/a bit of sci fi anyway .... well I hope it would be more clear with polys :)

@ Gunilla : heels for boots ? ahahahah , I got to say you are killing me these days :scream: .... Yes I kind of mirrored some parts of the units, in the full version it should have 3 ... And yes polys are on the way now ...

@ TheSoracle : thx mate .... actually thoses units won't appear very close to keep the High scale kinda feel ... but I will have to deal with the details and textures when the scene will be set up ...

@ gardogg : hey Gary , great to see you here , and thx for your kind words !

@ DimitrisLiatsos : Plop !! thx friend , yeah , to include several of these is planned !

@ SONIC-X : thx a lot Corrie ...

@ daWinky : heya Sabie .... yeah , for the first time , it's the environnement and background before the figure .... but Patricia will show up anyway .... but not just yet ...
Have a nice day too dear !

@ madshooter : Thx a lot Roshan ...


Alrighty ... I started with polys with the entrance/stairs of the chamber .... as soon as I will have something significant to show I will post it ... thx for your support ... and happy modeling time , friends !

cheers ,

A lot of stuff going on here :) Great concept. I'll keep an eye on this thread!

@ Nothingness : thx mate , I got to say that Gothic is not really the type I'm looking for ... I'm actually trying to find something between old machinery/a bit of sci fi anyway .... well I hope it would be more clear with polys :)


yeah,

ploblem is that old machinery in the rock is modern machinery to the peaple from earth visiting it. Meaning you should make it look modern and old by a comparisation or some sort. Or unless you just make it look very old as well.

Nice, nice, but.. I don't think i saw any composition research? it's not really a good workflow starting directly working on some random details - and if you don't feel like drawing your full scene by hand, just doing your compo researches with a camera and a few very simple 3D models is great. So you can know exactly what elements you need to model and/or concentrate on... (imagine that somehow you find that this particular element looks great in your final pic with a lot of atmosphere, smoke , and that only the silhouette will be seen.. would be a shame to have worked so long on the detailed concept and model for needing only a silhouette in the end) .

[Zapan]

@ taavi : thx a lot man !

@ Nothingness : well I will try to keep some references from old machines room but I would also like to include some weird machines to have a bit "unseen" look .... err , at least I will try ... :)

@ mv : heya m@ , thx for droppin' by here ... I know what you mean , and I must say that I tried several times to draw the overall picture I have in mind , but without being successful at all :banghead: ... probably because I'm not totally sure about it and /or my drawing skills don't permit me to do so ....:curious:
So I guess the better way to setup the scene for me will be the low poly modeling which I'm starting to work on .... I will try to post it soon ... Thx for your help man ... :)

EDIT : just one thing , would have been awesome to see you entering btw :eek:

cheers ,

-Zapan

[mv]

yeah don't try to draw if it's not your strength - sometimes sketching in 3D is way faster. And yeah, even with a few lowpolies you can have a great idea of what your scene will look like... you can even put a few lights and all and play with moods and camera angles in realtime :) very handy.

and hehe, I didn't say I won't enter :p

[shakes]

great sketch Zapan..I imagine you'll have lotsa fun texturing that!

[TheFirstAngel]

hehe yeah i know that too well, sometimes a 3d sketch is done so much faster and does fulfil the purpose much easier than drawing the hell outa yourself til something matches you can already clearly see in 3d ^^ either way, cool sketch, keep on rockig mate and i'm, looking forward to your next updates :)

[coochaki]

ps : I can't even remember what the word "update" means ? :banghead: :D

[Intervain]

Oh I like the new concept even better - funny it sort of reminds me of Howl's moving castle now LOL Now onto the 3d please!:bounce:

[Nothingness]

hey Stéphane,

i hope you'll have time enough to do some nice stuff.
So what are you going to teach? Sounds really nice.

ps. i think update is a date going upstairs. not sure though :twisted:

[agou]

Heya da Stephounet! What a good new! I'm bouncing of joy for you! (yeah, like this:bounce:). Hope you'll manage to organize things... Maybe you should employ your students to work on your challenge...:D

Students : Good morning Master Zapan!
Stefounet : Hi, slaves. First exercise, I want you to model a futuristic city today.

Héhé... ;)

[Gunilla]

Ahhh... excellent news! Steph le maitre! :thumbsup:
So, will you be teaching modeling? I envy your students already :)
All my best wishes for your new adventure and hope you still have some time for this. I'm so curious to see whet you will do with the architecture...

So... if you're settled with the new job it would be cool with some updates.

Here's (http://www.moviezine.se/dance.mov) something to inspire you :)

Pre-viz with blocking ... trying to play with the depth to feel the scale ... Eventough patricia's still missing , and also the waterfalls , I guess I'm about to start the modeling ...

Let me know what you guys think of ...

cheers ,

-Zapan

[Zapan]

*whispers* Hola friends ... am I late or what ? .... how you guys doing ? ... it's been a while :blush:

@ Intervain : wheeee , How ya doing ? thx Magdalena for the support , 3d will show up soon ... I think .... I hope

@ Nothingness : héhé , Thx Nico , I'm currently teaching the 3d basics to a small group of students ... it is really cool . I'm still thinking about Patricia's design ... but a date ? yeah sure , except , that's a lot of stairs ...

@ agou : ROFL .... .... poor students ... I can say a lot of stuff , like : hey ! stop talking in the back , focus please" .... pfff :scream:

@ Gunilla : Heya dear ... well not just modeling , the 3d basics in general ... with max :eek: ... but it's just great ... I'm discovering a lot of new stuff with Max ... maybe I could do the challenge with ... thx a lot for the wishes :) ... should be back updating now ...

@ thebest : ahahaha , heya Tony ... elves , well not everytime ...

I'm waiting for you Man !
It will be a great pleasure to see you again ! :beer:

[SweD]

great :) the return of the revenge ! :scream:
love the depth, can't wait to see first modeling :)

[taavi]

Composition looks great, hope to see first models soon :)

[thebest]

cool sketch I like the idea so far keep going :bounce:

[Gunilla]

Heeey! :bounce::bounce::bounce:
Good to see you back! And of course, there is plenty of time for you to whip up something awesome. Glad to hear about your job, sounds like something that suits you perfectly - doing 3d and chatting at the same time :D
Maybe starting with MAX can be a good thing? Changing apps can sometimes be a energy boost. Well, looking forward to whatever will turn up here.

Edit: And the concept looks good of course, an animated move up those stairs perhaps?

[Lemog]

Hey Cadet... It's so great to see you here another time... and especially good if you can find some good times to continue this challenge... there's not only the job in the life... there's also the pleasure... for you... and especially for us...

I wish you the best in the both... even with Max :sad:

:scream: hahahahaha :thumbsup:

[TheFirstAngel]

lol, came to spam as promissed :scream: was about time you take up the cup and trow some polys^^ layout looks fine, hahaha cant wait to see your big plans take shape!
hahaha, max em all *mean of lolo* rofl! :cry: erm, yep max. lol, could be worse :p imagine you had to work on my actual pc :p p3 1ghz with 512 mbram & max hahahahah
keep on rocking mate!:beer::buttrock::wip:

[morenike]

Yes you still have time. Erm!! Why do you have a sky dome? I'm asking because i like to learn but i don't see why you have one. (I'm just asking!)

So far everytinh looks good. You need people in there for scale but with the staircase you are going to need a heck of alot in the background to make it look really heavy ( big)

I like plain models so for now it's looking great. Lighting is good for showing what you're doing but make it more dramatic please!:)
Good luck. Cool name by the way!

[amz23]

It's nice to have the legend back! I hope you have enough time to finish this time =D.

Let's have some Patricia modelling pics :D ! GL

[Intervain]

Hi Zapan! Well, well, well it keeps changing every time I come round :) and getting more challenging at the same time! I like the latest update - looking forward to more :)

[TheSoracle]

Wow. Its been a while and so much has been done. Awesome Zapan :thumbsup:

Keep up the awesome work. Can't wait to see some color.

[Poonks]

Yoyoyoyoyoyoyoyo Mister Teacher ^^

Hey friends ...
Found some time to throw some polys in the scene .... not that much stuff but useful for me to set up the scene ,you know , sizewise ...
Things should move a bit faster now ...

Thx you guys all for the support , let me know what you guys think ...

cheers ,

-Zapan

[thebest]

can`t wait to see more keep going :bounce: ....nice el.........grrrrrrrr sorry nice girl hehe :twisted:

[Zapan]

@ daWinky : Wheee Sabie ... still acting like a ghost , but for now on I should be more and more around ... thx a lot dear for always being here supporting ! :)

@ gpepper : hey hey .... I've to go there soon , I miss you guys all ...

@ SweD : the revenge ? ahaha ... yeah kind of , thx mate ...

@ taavi : thx a lot

@ thebest : Heya Tony ... thx mate for the support ...

@ Gunilla : Wheee Gunie ... whip up ? yup I tried on me , but apparently not hard enough ... Anyway , felt so guilty to not share some time with you all , so whatever I will have time to create , I definitely have to stop by more often ... :)

@ Lemog : Heya Lolo :) ... you totally right so even if I won't finish , It's always great to save some time for fun ...
Ahahah , and no worries ... Max is only to try some new stuff ... I think I'm too much comfortable with maya to totally change to max ... it's still like the dark side of the 3d for me .... are you gonna call me "Darth Snail" ? :scream:

@ TheFirstAngel : Wheee Sacha !! .... there I am .... a little .... héhé ... thx a lot friend for the support ...

@ buffichar : Actually I will include a sky dome to simulate the sky lighting the whole chamber with a lighting tube ... from what I've read about it there , a very wet weather there so , there should be a lot of rain and clouds and smoke ...
I still have to think about How I will handle the huge scale and the amount of details ... In a classic still picture It would be easiest ... but now with the animation I have to think that through ....

@ amz23 : thx a lot , well Patricia shouldn't appear really soon , but yeah , she's planned ...

@ Intervain : Heya Magdalena ! Thank you a lot for your great support !

@ TheSoracle : ... so much done ? not really :D ... thx for the support mate !

@ Poonks : yoyoyoyoyo da poonks ... thx a lot mate ... and I was kind of hoping you will join ... *planche pourrie ... ca va barder kan je vais débnarquer a Gre * .... :D

@ AndreiSzasz : thx a lot mate !

cheers ,

-Zapan

EDIT : @ thebest : thx mate :)

[flaeticia]

thats a very good update zap :)
as i already said to u, the poly count is very high, but i understand why, and why normal map arent the tool for decrease this one !

gogogo zap ;)

kisses :D

[daWinky]

Hey there, Stéph!

... still acting like a ghost , but for now on I should be more and more around ...
Yes, acting like a ghost is the good description, quickly here for an update and fast away again:D ...but glad to see a sign of life at all and to hear that you plan to be more around:bounce: !
And the update of course, looks like pretty solid modeling...and amazing to see that you start this time to build the environment here first:thumbsup: ...

Have a great start in the week!

-sabrina

[Gunilla]

Hey! A sign of life here - that's terrific!
And a nice update too - as Sabie I'm pleased to see something architectural from you, also this tech style is really new for me. ... and is that the beginning of a pair of funky boots I see?
Good to see you back on this :)

Is the teaching going well?

[Zapan]

Heya Girls :) ...

@ flaeticia : thx dear , actually the polycount isn't that big considering that the cam will fly above pretty close ... so I don't think it would have a great result with maps ....

@ daWinky : Wheee Sabie ... somehow , I feel even more guilty ... :blush: ....
Yeah I will try to be more around for now on.... and yeah I thought it will be better for this project to start with the environnement , that's new for me so I have to save most of the time on it ...

@ Gunilla : :blush: :blush: ... somebody will whip me here ?
Yeah , I tried to switch the snail trademark to a pair of boots ... :wise:
And the teaching is going well thx ... Max is becoming cooler and cooler ... :D

cheers ,

-Steph

[Lemog]

Glad to see you're back master :)

I hope you're fully okay... I hope this update will be followed by more and more...

Another welcome here Cadet :thumbsup:

[ChewyPixels]

Waiting for next update. Go, go, go! :wip:

[alvin-cgi]

Interesting... want to see more update! Hurry!:)

[soapy]

[Rebeccak]

Hello Stephounette,

Looks like things progress well, hoping to see the final result! :)

[daWinky]

Hey Stéph!:wavey:

It's been a while since the last update and I guess you're just buried under too much work:scream: , hope everything else is fine for you:) !
Perhaps you find some time for yourself during Holidays, I already wish you some nice and relaxed days and


Merry Christmas!

-sabrina

[agou]

Heeeyaaa Stéphounette ! glad to see you around after my (little) absence... I hope your job lets you some time to do personal things... that would be a pity.
well, nice job as usual, that's something that never changes... I dunno if you will have more time during holidays, Christmas is always very busy with friends and family! :bounce:
Soooo see ya my favorite snail, I'll come back in the spam team!
