I think we should have made a group order ... that's really tough to wait ... who is up for a monopoly ?

[Gunilla]

I think we should have made a group order ... that's really tough to wait ... who is up for a monopoly ?

Agree ... maybe we can just found someone that's read it to tell us the good parts? Or else, just start on something and later force the interpretation of the story to fit the scene? :D

[michael-olszak]

goog luck to you. i can't wait to see some of your work on this.

[soapy]

Hey Sabrina it is good to see you back again for another contest. I am looking forward to another 100 days of fun! Good luck. :-)

Thierry, thank you for the good wishes...and I'm not sure what we'll see here myself, hopefully a good idea soon!

Hopefully we're all well informed and full of striking ideas after the weekend...

Michael, thanks for the wishes! And I can't wait myself to have a first concept here...

Jim, thanks for your visit and I'm already curious to discover what you're cooking out this time...


I already had a slight panic attack this morning, seeing the preview windows for each thread are back...and I still have not a single pixel here...time for some serious brainstorming now!:bounce:

Morning Lolo, perhaps the new sticky thread about the book can light up your darkness soon:wise: ...

Hey Roman, you're still waiting for the book? I've ordered the english version, a german edition is no longer available here:sad: ...

Morning Gunie, cooking for 20 people:scream: ?!! life is full of challenges, eh?
...and I hope someone is so nice to put a brief summary of the story in the book thread, I would do it myself, but I'm not sure how much is lost in translation for me...

Hey Gert, and still no book for you too? That's really annoying, I hope you can use the waiting time to clean up your desk from work in advance:) ...

Hi Corrie:wavey: (http://forums.cgsociety.org/misc.php?do=getsmilies&wysiwyg=1&forumid=0#), so nice to see you here, thanks for the good wishes!

Well, after another short night still a few pages of the book left for me, but to get rid of this disturbing empty thumbnail I'll upload a quick sketch soon...

-sabrina

[SONIC-X]

Hi Sabrina,
I'm trying to see if there is a way I can find time for this-I definitly want to enter.
Reading the sticky on the book for now-have not read the book yet.

just a rough sketch to get some ideas of proportions and to warm up - my vision of the landscape of the 2nd chamber, still need the buildings and a way to put some characters in the foreground...

[Lemog]

Morning Sabie...

Morning Lolo, perhaps the new sticky thread about the book can light up your darkness soon:wise: ...
It's far to be sure that could help me... I will see then... :hmm:


About your landscape... the vision is already great... I like even if I'm too much curious to know what will be the details and the subject you must add on the scene :scream:

Nice day Sabie... :wavey:

[Gunilla]

Bang! And there she goes! :D

Great start Sabie - already good mood in that scene. I'm really curious to see what kind of situation you're going to show. :bounce:

Bring it on!

Great start Sabrina,looking forward to the expansion of your vision.

Cheers Corrie.

Hey Roman, you're still waiting for the book? I've ordered the english version, a german edition is no longer available here:sad: ...

argh, I wish you're wrong, but it's true, no longer available in german. what to do now ? I'm not sure to get a nice feeling about bear's world with the english version. I don't give up, will search a used copy of the book, or try to read in english (ordered it anyway).

thanks for this news, sabrina. :sad:

[shakes]

looking great Sabrina.I imagine a really beautiful scene from this!

[CrackleWax]

Hey Gert, and still no book for you too? That's really annoying...

yup, no milk today as well.... maybe I can guess the story by looking at everyones sketchwork ;o)

oh well, let's see where you are going with your first sketch

I hope you can use the waiting time to clean up your desk from work in advance:) ...

There's to be no cleaning of the desk before the end of the challenge!

Hey Roman, you're still waiting for the book? I've ordered the english version, a german edition is no longer available here:sad: ...

:bounce: I found my book in a more or less 'local' sf & fantasy second-hand bookshop, but I have to go there to get it. So that means I have it next week if I am again in Zurich.

awesome sketch, great mood! keep up the great work! hehe, watchin' so keep em updates comin' ^^ :beer::buttrock!

[icedeyes]

Hello sabrina and first of all, the best of luck with the challenge:thumbsup:...

The sketch looks great but i think that you might want to differentiate a bit from the standard "book look" of the second chamber...

Your skills are great (proved that in the spectacular challenge, which by the way was great) but i have seen very similar ideas for the second chamber since this challenge started...

Just my 2 cents...

[daWinky]

A late good morning everyone!

:scream: it's so amazing to see this great feedback, thanks friends...but I'm also a little scared, now I feel obliged to come up with something solid:D ...


Lolo, hmm, I see there's really a need to make a understandable summary of the book...give me some time over the weekend and I try to explain the story the best I can...but thanks for liking it without knowing what it is;) (http://forums.cgsociety.org/misc.php?do=getsmilies&wysiwyg=1&forumid=0#)...!

Heya Gunie, thanks and I'll probably need more time to doodle around with different concepts to make up my mind!

Corrie, glad you like the first sketch, thanks!

Roman, hey, the latest news are good for sure! Thanks for the link, very helpful if I still need the german version...

John, thank you and I just discovered the link now in your signature, great!

Heya Gert, no milk today...?! That puts just another catchy tune in my ear, I suffered last week with "hey Mr. postman, wait and see...if there's a letter in your box for me..."!:twisted: You've already seen the sticky bookthread here? Maybe this can help to get some ideas while waiting...

Hey Dale, thanks for the good wishes!

Hi Jim, yes, in my vision the landcape is very earthy (except the cylindrical geometry), just because all the plants are from earth, atmosphere is earth-like and of course it's all made by humans for humans...

Neville, thanks for visiting and the nice words!

Hey Diego, how nice to see you here! Any plans to join us in this challenge?!

Wheee, Stéph! No need to be jealous, wait until you see me modeling the characters:scream: ...And Flossy in space??? Naaa, she prefers to lurk around near lighthouses...

Hey Remko, thanks for the nice words!

Hey Hamid, glad that you have the feeling of a huge scene, I still have some problems to imagine the perspective! I've already looked out for your entry, don't you want to join this challenge too??

Sacha, thanks for dropping in and I'll do my best...

Hey George, so nice to meet you again! And thanks for the crit...of course this is just a sketch to get a feeling how the landscape may look in the 2nd and 3rd chamber, far away from any detail and I'm still thinking of a good scenery to start with...
Seeing the comment in your avatar I guess you won't have the time to join this challenge:D !?



Hope to show a more detailed concept with the next update, so stay tuned!

Basically its been like that for ages now (my signature and my situation)... BUT, i do have to practice my skills and all so i will try to complete the trailer entry...

My current job involves design and programming for educational applications so i haven't had the time to practice 3d and compositing (even though i really wanted to) and hope that this challenge will give me some motive to find time and just do it (that will be a first...LOL)...

George out :scream:... Have fun Sabrina...

Just to keep the ball rolling, another very quick view...I think of a scene in the new library, Lanier instructing Patricia in the use of the information system; outside a view of the futuristic hanging architecture in the 3rd chamber...maybe this can be interesting!??

[Gunilla]

Oh dear, a new concept so soon! Yes - I think this could work well, but... in a way I preferred the first since the view through the window blocks so much of the "Ouahhh-effect" from the beauty of the landscape. Maybe the landscape with the hanging buildings and something happening closer to it? Could one of the characters be climbing up to explore it?

hmmm... as you might have guessed I'm not far through the book yet :)

Splendid so far, but I didn't expect anything less.

[Lemog]

That can be interesting too... but of course, the first vision was impressive and really "Ouahhh-effect" as Gunie said...
About the new composition, you can certainly something more "impressive vision"... with the table and people more near of the windows (it's really window, not ?)... and with a camera framing with more depth (plunging), to the out background... mmmh... I don't know to be really understandable this morning... :D

...sorry for the bad morning brain of lolo :shrug:

[Try]

Great idea Sabrina!

Having the inside calm tranquillity of the library and the characters in foreground.
And the huge hanging buildings structures in the background seems excellent.

I think this image has great potential!:thumbsup:



Wish I had this idea!:)

[Golpe]

Hey, I like this concept! go for it, I´ll be watching to your work:scream: :thumbsup:

[lotaH]

Hey Diego, so I'm waiting for your entry! As a fan of science fiction I'm sure you'll like the story!


I believe that will like, who knows I receive some idea for the contest!

I like your idea a lot, because it divides the scene in two, one in human scale (in) and other (out) that gives a larger vision of the " universe " that is the objective of the contest!

I also think the position of the camera can improve the " drama " of the scene!

Congratulations, good work!


:D hehe, the "best cat of all" is called Marvin and he's the true master of house and garden here...greetings to your Pierry!


Pierry is also the king of this house! The whole morning he wakes up us, only to sleep in our bed...lol

[madshooter]

I like both concepts, the first one definetely looks cool:thumbsup: it has lot of depth:)

[daWinky]

Good Morning!

Gunie, Lolo, it's noted: Looking out for the "Ouahhh-effect":D ...
But I see what you're thinking of, the comp is a kind of boring this way...I need a more open concept!
Thank you both for your always helpful comments!:thumbsup:

Hi Per, nice to see you here for a visit and thanks for liking the concept:) ...I work it over now and I hope you'll also like the next version!

Hey Gonzalo, great to see you here and thanks for the encouragement!

Diego, thanks for your comment, I see you like the idea of characters in the foreground and I try to keep them in...
about the inspiration in the book, I think there are a lot of very interesting scenes, just start to read...and don't forget a lot of post-its to mark the pages with scenes you like:D !
Pierry is also the king of this house! The whole morning he wakes up us, only to sleep in our bed...lolhehe:D , the cats, this sounds terrible familar for me...

Roshan, meanwhile I also prefer the open landscape, I think to try a good mix of character/landscape...thanks for your help!:)

Hope to be back with an other version soon!

[flaeticia]

Hi sabrina!
wow !
its a great mood that you put into this sketch !!
want to see the more ! :D :thumbsup::bounce:
kisses :)

[Zapan]

Looking out for the "Ouahhh-effect"

And that would be the third from here !

Maybe you could make a front left building where you can see the characters inside ... this way you could have the ouah-effect of the landscape and also by exploring the picture , the two characters refering to the story .... just a thought ...

cheers ,

[CrackleWax]

Hiya Sabrina,

I like your sketches!

have you finished the book, and what's the most 'appealing' chamber to you?

Obi

[daWinky]

Hi Laeticia and Stéph, thank you both for dropping by!:)

Stéph, I see this 3rd vote for a more open concept, and I agree...just a moment of patience until the next upload!

Heya Gert, thank you and yes, I've finished a qick-read-through...and I really hope you've received your book meanwhile!
I can imagine a lot of sceneries with a good visual impact, but with the goal to attract the viewer without long explanations I prefer the 2nd and the 3rd chamber...and of course it's a personal preference, I'm just not the fan of "Star Trek"-sceneries! Now I still need a decision between the 2 possible cityscapes ...

I decided to keep the 2 characters (Patricia and Lanier) in the foreground, but with an open view and the focus on the landscape...the concept for the architecture is still to built, I'm not really sure if I take the more "oldfashioned" cityscape of Alexandria or the futuristic hanging structures from the 3rd chamber...

[SOMONSTER]

Beautiful background ！What's happening there ~
good concept~

I like this concept more than the previous even though the second concept had a sence of entrapment which served the image quite well in my opinion (maybe keeping just the glass could serve that purpose but it is up to you)... generally this can become a very complete image emotionally and aesthetically...

Have fun...

[SweD]

hey again here,

My choice going to the second too :) it will be interesting to discover how you see main characters and depth of your plan.
Keep an eye here Sabrina, good luck. :thumbsup:

looking good Sabrina-quite spectacular scene by the looks

[TheFirstAngel]

great scene, light and composition, looks very very promissing! keep on rocking! :scream::beer::buttrock:

[jddog]

Cool view on your last sketch, like it a lot...

[OKMER]

hey excellent view and nice background!l Maybe you could open the canvas a bit to give it more space and epic feeling.
Keep on rocking!!!

[daWinky]

Good Morning, Challengers!:)

Hope you've had all a nice weekend, sorry for the late reply, I was off early on Friday...


Beautiful background ！What's happening there ~
good concept~Hey SOMONSTER, that's a good question...something interesting for the viewer I hope, I'll built the city there later...thank's for your visit!

ahhh, no science fiction images for you. Well for now I am wildly attracted to the 7th chamber but who knows, I'm just passing chapter ten... Morning Gert!And of course it should be science fiction:wise: , I just try to avoid too much clichés, not sure at all if this is a good idea for such a fictive promotion...and how about your reading progress, I'm already curious to discover your concept...

Hey Diego, thank's again for your nice visits here:) ...

Hi George, glad that you like this concept, and perhaps keeping the glass is a good idea, this will be easy to
add later...thanks for the encouragement!

My choice going to the second too, it will be interesting to discover how you see main characters and depth of your plan. Hey Cyril, thank you for the visit...and another vote for the last concept, good to hear:) !

Hi John, spectacular? :D Glad to hear you like the concept so far!

great scene, light and composition, looks very very promissing! keep on rocking! Ah, exactly what I needed to read:D , thanks Sacha, that's very encouraging for me!

Cool view on your last sketch, like it a lot... Hey Julien, good to hear and I hope you still like it when I start with the cityscape:rolleyes: ...

hey excellent view and nice background!l Maybe you could open the canvas a bit to give it more space and epic feeling. Hi Remko, thanks for the nice words:) , this is the best point of view I've found so far, but I'm still playing around with the image size and proportion...


Unfortunately I had no time to work on the concept during the weekend, but I made up my mind about the cityscape, I think it is a good idea to try the hanging city of the 3rd chamber...hope to show a rough sketch soon, so stay tuned...

[CrackleWax]

morning Sabrina,

I am more than halfway and I have time on my hands this week, so I am not far off from producing the first concept!

See if I can catch up a bit! ;o)

Gert

[scootermaya]

Major concept ! :bounce: YES !

[SONIC-X]

Hey Sabrina!

Looking good.I'm doing the 3rd chamber also cause i like the idea of the buildings that almost stretch to the atmosphere and the cables with the hanging buildings.Was only curious about one thing-how did the people get into these hanging buildings?

[daWinky]

Hey Corrie, that's a good question - and I think Mr. Bear didn't care so much about those details, at least I found nothing in the book about it...so it's our turn to imagine something;) (http://forums.cgsociety.org/misc.php?do=getsmilies&wysiwyg=1&forumid=0#), for example hanging streets between the single buildings and in a floating city a kind of "air-car" would probably be so common like our usual cars:) ...
I would like to say 'have a look at my next update' but I'm still far away from these details...

it's not coming out the way I want, but take it just as a placeholder for the effect I'm looking for: The floating/hanging city, huge but not too solid, a more fragile appearance, partially vanishing in the haze and the clouds...

-sabrina

[SONIC-X]

Nice update Sabrina.I take it you read the book?I did not unfortunately and all the bookshops here can only get me one in three to four weeks,way to long.

Question-was there any occupent in this chamber when they got there or was it deserted?

[daWinky]

Corrie, thanks:) ! I've just read through the book and I can only recommend this... you may have luck in some second-hand bookshops near you, it's a pity if you have to wait a month to get it...and to answer your question: all the chambers are described as abandoned, the original inhabitants are all in "Axis-City" and this is lying behind the 7th chamber...;) (http://forums.cgsociety.org/misc.php?do=getsmilies&wysiwyg=1&forumid=0#)

-sabrina

[SONIC-X]

Thanks for the answer Sabrina,I have asked a second hand bookstore to see if they can find me a copy.

[soapy]

Nice! I like the hanging city idea, and it makes physical sense for once since they are in a big tube. I think your scene is shaping up very well, you have left yourself lots of room for details and a good composition to work from. Cheers.

[ThierryS]

Good architecture idea there Sabrina, it look spectacular! It looks more interesting to me than the library one( which was very good too).:thumbsup: :)

[Lemog]

Much better Sabie... a greater sight for sure... an impressive feeling is certainly the good way... :thumbsup: maybe after you could try a framing harder, which could give more action to the scene...

[madshooter]

Hey sabrina the last concept looks cool, maybe you can add little more depth later on in your 3d scene, say like more city in the background with some fog or D.O.P. Are you also planning to model the chracters:)

[daWinky]

Good Morning!


Thanks for the answer Sabrina,I have asked a second hand bookstore to see if they can find me a copy.Corrie, you're welcome! I think even the scenes in the inspiration text are hard to understand without reading the book, so don't hesitate to ask:) . Hope you've luck with finding the book...

mmmh...how to explain with my so good english ? more work with the focal, with orientation of camera, angle, scale between element and of course the depth... I know it's a bit early for that because it's just the placement of elements, but the compo could be good like that if you exagerate the vision to increase the action, and obtain something imposing... I hope my explanations are more clear now... but I'm not really sure... :shrug:

Don't hesitate to ask me again :scream: nice day for you...

[Gunilla]

Oh dear, I'm late for the last update! Yes, I agree with the rest - this is much better. The beginning shapes for the city looks really cool. The final framing will come later I'm sure - this is a great start for a really epic scene.
The light and coloring works well already :thumbsup:

hey sabrina,

good luck on the challenge. I can't wait to see your characters as well.

...a first impression of Lanier. A sketch of Patricia is on the way...

-sabrina

[soapy]

Wow great sketch of Lanier! You know its funny but your sketch is pretty close to how I pistured Lanier. Odd. I decided to base my new character on the actor Adam Baldwin. Not so much for looking like Lanier but because I just liked his character in the Firefly series.

[TheFirstAngel]

great portrait of lanier, cant wait to see patricia ^^

[SONIC-X]

Sabrina that is a exellant portrait.Great work.

[Lemog]

Morning Sabie...

effectively... very beautiful portrait...I think in first I do a mistake and that was not the good thread... anat forum or other 2d quality thread, but not, really your challenge project... congratulations for this one so...
...many good point on him... the look... the glance, the drawing... very very good... I like much.

I'm already curious to discover Patricia with a same quality drawing... I'm speechless :thumbsup: and of course, a nice day for you (and also very productive).

[icedeyes]

great portrait sabrina....:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: my only comment is that for some reason i thought he was older...

[Try]

Great sketch of Lanier Sabrina!
Love those tones of blue grey and the look in his eyes.

Not sure about the American Indian look though….
Feel he should maybe have more pronounced cheekbones…

Found this page of splendid looking, noble savages:
http://yakimas.free.fr/Chefs.htm

[Gunilla]

Very nice portrait! Love the expression in his eyes!
So, are you going to do mix 2d and 3d for this? That would be very cool I think.

[daWinky]

Wow great sketch of Lanier! You know its funny but your sketch is pretty close to how I pistured Lanier. Odd. I decided to base my new character on the actor Adam Baldwin. Not so much for looking like Lanier but because I just liked his character in the Firefly series.Hey Jim, yep, that's funny:) - and I had to google for 'Adam Baldwin' and your right about the similarity...even more strange is that I stumbled over a picture of him and his partner actress in something called'The Cape': she really looks like my vision of Patricia and the story is something about astronauts:scream: ...I swear I've never seen this before:wise: ...Perhaps we've just found the perfect cast for a possible movie:D !

Sacha, thanks, glad that you like the portrait!


Thank you, Corrie !


Lolo, so kind, thanks a lot and I really have fun atm playing around with the different characters...and this way I avoid to start some serious modeling before the weekend... character modeling is still very difficult for me. Hope you still like it when you see my poly-version:scream: ...


George, thanks for your visit, and you're right, he really looks good for his age:D ...maybe too good and I'll give him a few years more!


Hey Per, I agree about the mentioned American/Indian look, he's clearly more for my personal favorite cast:drool: (http://forums.cgsociety.org/misc.php?do=getsmilies&wysiwyg=1&forumid=0#) ...I'll have a look then at some Indian noses and cheekbones, thank you for the link!


Gunie, great that you like the portrait...and my goal is to model the characters, but I'm not at all sure about the outcome:shrug: (http://forums.cgsociety.org/misc.php?do=getsmilies&wysiwyg=1&forumid=0#)...I'll model at least a low poly version and according to the time I need -or if it looks odd- I can still overpaint them:twisted: (http://forums.cgsociety.org/misc.php?do=getsmilies&wysiwyg=1&forumid=0#)...at first I was very confused about the change of categories with the 2d/3d mix, but now I'm really bent on taking this as an advantage...otherwise it would be too risky for me to start 2 characters with only little spare time to work on them...

Still struggling with Patricia's cheekbones, but an upload comes soon...

and as promised : Patricia...I wanted to get the "Latina"-look, but maybe it's a little too exaggerated!?

[mv]

Great painting, I like her, she really has personality. I like the fact that she seems rather "strong" too. Not sure about her make up though, looks like evening make up for a dinner or a dance :)

[icedeyes]

very nice... very close to the description of the book... great work... really like the "not-absolutelly-perfect-woman" style you got there... and as far as looking too latina, i wouldn't worry... As i said she looks just perfect...:applause:

[Gunilla]

Looking really good, Sabie! :thumbsup:
I like her latin look and they will be a stunning couple - as icedeyes says, it's really nice with a more real looking heroine. Nice job and if you can bring them into polys that's great - if not you will have no problem painting them. :)

Hello Adrian, good to see you here for a visit and thanks for the nice comment!:)

Hi Timur, it's planned to model the city and characters in Max, only the background landscape should be painted, but I'll have to wait how things are coming along, especially how much of the little spare time I can use for this ...I'm not the fastest modeler:shrug:...Thanks for your visit!:)

Thanks... It will be great to see and compare sketch with 3d model, because it really hard model from sketch without any difference... Good Luck...

[Manzieri]

The portraits are really nice!

What I like more - and I believe you intend to paint it - is the far landscape going up. It seems an ascending mountain, but we know it's the curving surface of the Chamber. If you preserve it, with the right dose of detail and haze, it should add a breathtaking touch to your artwork...;)

Best, MM

just to show the progress, the first approach to the Lanier-model, I'm still struggling with the ears...

[Lemog]

Nothing disturb me so much for the moment... that seem more of well started... maybe something odd on the nostrills... but maybe it's due to the view.
In any case... it's already very good... and stop now to be afraid by your first anat poly... that works well :thumbsup:

[beelow]

Prolly work out the topology around the character's nose. you got some weirdness happening in the mesh there, overall very clean! Waiting to see more progress!:thumbsup:

[Nothingness]

extremely great model sabrina,

very clean and amazing good topology. :deal:


i'm not completely reading all posts, and i'm not in the habit of being in the illustration section, but what's a 3d model needed for here? Is this creating your own reference to do a painting of?
By anyway, it's great !

cheers

Greeting Sabrina... It really hard to comment Lanier with wires , without ears and black hair :) btw great modeling... ears is always problem. It takes a lot of time, but I think you will do it in best... Waitin' for next update.

Lolo, ah, thanks for the encouragement:love: - and of course your right about the nose, that was only temporary and it's already fixed...

Bruce, thanks for your visit :) and I'm sorry to cause confusion here with an early wip, I'll certainly work further on the nose region...this is just for the unpatient people here...a better view is coming soon!

Later there will be of course a lot of post work and compositing and we're not encouraged to do this in the model-section:shrug: . And the other reason is just that I've started to learn some character modeling this summer and want to continue with this...and I couldn't resist the challenge, so I try to make the best of both in my limited spare time:) ...

Hi Timur, yes, not much to see this way...first renders will come soon!

-sabrina

[SweD]

Morning Sabrina,

Some changes since my last visit ! and a wire ! :bounce:
It looks very clean and sharp on the edge loop, even if i think to see a little problem on the nostrils but i see you'll fix it, so no problem ! :scream:
keep up the good work Sabrina :)

[Gunilla]

Oh yes - modeling started! Great. It looks like a good start, as the others I notice the tri at the nose but that will probably be no problem. Will you bring him into ZBrush?
I envy you the possibility in this section to be able to do paintovers and postwork... but I suppose it's to late to switch again :)
Have a good day and it's really nice to see you started with the modeling!

[daWinky]

Morning Gunie,

you're right, cleaning the mesh comes later, I just lay down the loops I need first...and it's planned to make the detailing in zBrush in the second round, at least I try:scream: ...
I envy you the possibility in this section to be able to do paintovers and postwork... but I suppose it's to late to switch again
I feel with you, it's one of the reasons I'm in this section, especially for your scenery I can well imagine that postwork makes a lot, so why not decide later to come back here again if necessary:shrug: ...?!

I had an almost sleepless night with these ears, but here are the first renders, hope you like...
Nice day for you!:wavey:

*edit: I really had too little sleep, sorry Cyril, I've overseen your post...thanks for your visit, always much appreciated:) !

...for a better view here are the first renders of the Lanier wip, still very low poly...looks like a lot of work left to do, but I think I like the general direction...any suggestions?

-sabrina

[Conkrys]

An awesome start with the modeling Sabrina. The model is looking great. just a personal opinion: he looks abit... chubby! :curious::applause:

[Lemog]

The first pic is very good... the thing a bit disturbing in the second pic is certainly the forehead too much in rear... but that will be better to have real light with shadows to really well interprate the head's shape...

mmm... maybe the part between mouth and nose is too large... but we're all differents, not ? :)
also maybe the ears lobes are too large and too much glued on head... difficult to see in fact...

Here's my first thoughts... already well done, and certainly sufficient with your final framing :thumbsup:

[Gunilla]

Wow! Amazing speed for the model... almost Lemogish! :D
Looks good so far and the level of detail would probably be enough for this scene, right?

I am reall impressed :)

[flaeticia]

yaaaaaa sabie !
thats all right ure really good at organic :)

Excellent mod :)

For me the eyes are a little bit darked, but probably the environnement !
i must be close my mouth :D the eye of my patricia are redish :D
ahahahah ;)

see you around :D

[Greatto]

Great. But i think he is a little bit fat :). How can you work fast like this? good luck...

[soapy]

Nice work on the model, it looks really good to me. I am not sure about that extra edge loop outside the mouth? Is it there to cause that crease people get around their mouths? It could be closer to the lips maybe? I dont think he looks too fat. Good work!

[Greatto]

I dont think he looks too fat.

Greetings...
I mean not too fat. just a little bit. from front view, on his cheeks...
Good Luck

[shakes]

that face looks great sabrina-I like his little dimple, too. looks like you have the ears under control!

[Try]

Looking great Sabrina! Dam you are fast!:buttrock:
Even looks like your sketch of the man.

Off course I would like him to look a bit more like Sitting Bull you know.
But I can live with this guy to.:)

Really looking forward to 3d Patricia now!

[mdavid]

Okay, now I'm seriously impressed. Really nice (and quick) work going from sketch to mesh

[SONIC-X]

Nice going on the modelling there Sabrina.Keep it up girl!

[daWinky]

Good Morning!

Hey Constantinos, nice to see you here:) ...so you think he's chubby, it's noted!

Morning Lolo, I'm not sure about the forehead, but I'm afraid your right with the part between mouth and nose, maybe too large...and the ears:sad: ...I hope to fix this in the next step, it's always a pain for me to keep them low-poly enough for the base mesh...some good points, thanks a lot for the hints!

Morning Gunie, Lemogish speed? that's an amazing compliment:) ...but actually I've spent all the spare time of this week pushing and tweaking to get him so far...and I think I'll give him just a few more details while building the body, he looks too flat for my taste atm...Thanks for keeping me so motivated!

Hey Laeticia, great to hear that you like the model and you're right with the eyes, they need something to reflect...thanks for the visit!:)

Hi Timur, I'm not really fast, but thanks for the compliment...so Lanier is too fat for your taste:hmm: , hmmm...

Hey Jim, the extra loop is for a dimple, I'll try to detail him more so that will hopefully be more obvious in the next renders...and not too fat for you, I'm eased:D ...thanks for having a look at him!


and Timur again...so just a little bit too fat:twisted: , ok

Hi John, thanks for recognising the dimple:D ...and the ears...well, they still have a kind of life of it's own, but I try my best...

Hey Per, ah, good to hear your praise...even if he's not the Sitting Bull type...perhaps I can tweak the nose a little more...and concerning the Patricia model I'm afraid you have to wait at least for the next week:) !

Hi Mark, glad to hear that I can impress you, thanks!

Hey Corrie, thanks for the encouragement!

Thanks again to all for this fast feedback, it's easier for me to fix things now before the mesh is too heavy...now I can tweak him a little more ...and starting Patricia's head of course!

Have all a nice day!:wavey:

-sabrina

[Greatto]

Greetings Sabrina...
Good Day to you :) well do work on Lanier now or modeling Patricia.. It will be interesting....

P.s. his cheeks alittle bit :)

[madshooter]

Hey sabrina the character looks cool:thumbsup: Ears need some tweaking and lower lips can be little more sharper. Everything else looks great:)

[daWinky]

Good Morning!

Thanks Timur and Roshan, I've picked up some of your suggestions and worked more on Lanier, update is coming soon...

Have all a good start in the week!:)


-sabrina

[TheFirstAngel]

guten morgen,
dacht mir doch ich guck rasch rein in thread von der frau sonnenschein ^^

the Lanier Model looks solid and good at its base. i dont know where you plan the refinement, if its going to be zbrush, try not to go up too much into detail, since, 1st of all high poly and verticle concentration make the mesh very heavy on low subdivision amounts already(mainproblemzones to meet on zbrush in my expirience are ears, hands and eyes nose mouth.). Either way planing detaillevels always is good, stuff like what is going to be seen close up and what can be medium level of detail, what can be solved with displacement, what with normalmaps and bump if its going to be all modelled in your 3d main app then dont worry.
looking forward to your next update, very very promissing start on him :) keep on rocking!

[Lemog]

Good morning Sabie...

even if you ask about update on my project's thread, nothing more to watch here at first view :scream:
I imagine your week-end charged as mine... maybe travel and parties ? :D

A new week is started, then... I'm sure to discover great things soon, a nice day for you :)

[daWinky]

Morning Sacha,
guten morgen, dacht mir doch ich guck rasch rein in thread von der frau sonnenschein ^^huh, a Monday-Morning-Poem:D , I'll stick it on my desk...

but you have some good points here , and I think it's a good idea to stay low-poly until I know where I put my characters...while I push vertices I always have some ideas to vary my concept...thanks for the good advices:) !

Morning Lolo:wavey: ,
even if you ask about update on my project's thread, nothing more to watch here at first view .I imagine your week-end charged as mine... maybe travel and parties ?
hmmm, you know me well:D ...but I asked for your update because I know you've a speed of your own and of course you need not so much beauty-sleep:wise: ...not sure if here are great things to discover, but I was already busy this morning, so you can have a look at the next update...

-sabrina

the next Lanier wip, still low poly, but I've picked up some of the suggestions...next step must be proper bump and specular maps, though I think I start with the first version of Patricia before it...

-sabrina

[Gunilla]

Ahhh ... looks real good, he got the tired look already, after saving the world once more, I guess? :)
The texture is photo, right? Who is it? It's to realistic to be painted - even by you.

Good morning to you, Frau sonnenschein! :D

[Lemog]

Yep... I've the same thought than Gunie... too much realistic :scream: who is it ? :bounce: :D :buttrock: hahahaha...

About comments, always the same than my previous about lobe's ear, for the rest, it's quiete okay... even if the actual lighting doen't help us to really appreciate your work :)

in resume, be proud Sabie... :thumbsup:

[mdavid]

Wow! That is sooooo good. Beautiful work. Bravo!

[Thaldir]

3d isn't really my field, so I won't venture with technical suggestions, one little thing came to mind looking at your Lanier, though: in the book he has black eyes, just like Patricia.

Keep up the good work and good luck!

[ChewyPixels]

Cool! The texturing you have there makes a world of difference.

[nwiz25]

gosh! :eek: i agree with everyone! very realistic work dear! :eek: ... me loves it! :love:

one thing caught my attention ... can u add more detail to the ear ?

otherwise all in all .. awesome model! :thumbsup:

[daWinky]

Good Morning!

Hey Gunie, yes, I've blended some parts of photoreferences and painted over where it's needed:) ...so I'm afraid he's nobody special but just a mix...I can show the texture later when I come along with the other maps...glad that you like his tired look , this hero-business seems to be fatiguing sometimes...

Morning Lolo, how could I've hoped you would oversee the ear:scream: ...ok, I give it another try, update soon and for the lighting...according to the scene there will be mainly a strong backlight for the characters later, so I'm testing them this way:shrug: ...

Hi Mark, great to hear that you like him, thanks!:)

Hey Tiziano, thanks for your visit and the good wishes...hmmm, as far as I remember nothing is said about Lanier's eyecolor, his hairs are black:shrug: ...but I've tried to give him darker eyes and trust me: he's looking better this way! So forgive me this little artistic freedom, it's of course more a thing of the personal taste:) ...
Hello Jesus, thank you and good to hear that you like him textured this way;) !

Hi Neville, thanks for your always nice words and of course, the ear:rolleyes: ...have a look at the next update!

...and a last Lanier wip before I continue with Patricia's head, I hope the ear is more acceptable now...!?

[SweD]

morning Sabrina,
nothing more to say that what was already.
Great job for this head, this is more than acceptable. :thumbsup:

[Try]

Looking good Sabrina!:thumbsup:

Hmmm...
I thought your Lanier looked like someone famous...:D

So I put some glasses and hair on him (hope you don’t mind).

But I`m still not sure....:shrug:

[SweD]

aaah !! i'm so not the only one to see this similar thing ! :D

[daWinky]

Great job for this head, this is more than acceptable.
Hey Cyril, I'm eased to hear this:) , thank you!


Hi Per, nice hairdo:D , a little more hair and I don't have to work on the ears anymore....

Cyril, similar, yes, but who is it:scream:... :shrug: ? Now I'm curious...


-sabrina

[Gunilla]

Rouller my derrier off! :D

Hey Sabie, check the filename :scream:

[Lemog]

a little more hair and I don't have to work on the ears anymore....
hahahaha... keep ears like that now... very more "than" :scream:

Thanks for the hint Gunie:D , well just another tired hero...:)


Hey Lolo, glad that you like my adjustments.... and thanks for being so present in this thread - and obviously in my unconscious mind:D !


Per, hehe, too late, seen it before, just needed the right avatar:twisted: ...it must be the blue light of course:wise: ...

Ah.. good.
Was worried there fore a little while, I was the only one who could see this….:)
Now if you could make Patricia look a bit like my avatar, it would make me so happy! :thumbsup:

[ChewyPixels]

http://www.geocities.com/chui1675/images/cgtalk/Lemog_Lanier.jpg

Hmm, looks right to me. :D

[Thaldir]

Hey Tiziano, thanks for your visit and the good wishes...hmmm, as far as I remember nothing is said about Lanier's eyecolor, his hairs are black:shrug: ...but I've tried to give him darker eyes and trust me: he's looking better this way! So forgive me this little artistic freedom, it's of course more a thing of the personal taste:) ...


Of course nothing to say against artistic freedom, far from it (neither against personal taste, of course) :). I was just thinking of the spot in the book when Lanier meets Patricia the first time:

"an altogether unpractical-looking woman, he thought. Beneath wide square eyes as black as his own, and a small, sharp nose, she had drawn her mouth into a tight line"

[thebest]

wow cool work friend untill now I can`t figure how did I miss ur thread :D but I saw it now :twisted:
and I will check it everyday :bounce: great work friend :thumbsup:

[Lemog]

http://www.geocities.com/chui1675/images/cgtalk/Lemog_Lanier.jpg

noooooooooooooooooooo... I can't stop laughing... you will make my evening guys :thumbsup:

and of course... I'm so disturbing Sabie :scream: ... and the dream comes true :D hahahahaha


Per -> I hate you now :scream: huhuhuhu great great great :buttrock: :applause:

[Rebeccak]

Allo Sabie,

Just poking my head in to cheer a little bit, wish I could be more active here, looks like you've got a good thing going! :thumbsup: If I could give one small crit it might be that the forehead seems a bit small, maybe he needs more headroom above the eyes - but it just depends on the character and so far everything looks impressive. :) Keep up the great work! :)

[Greatto]

Hahahaha! Good Evening...
I think I miss a lot of interesting :)
First Sabrina you are so fast... where you get energy?
Second Lanier: great modeling, and great texturing, did you paint it by your own self?
but his skin a little bit blue, maybe you have to change the light or skin color.

Good Luck.

[soapy]

The Lanier character turned out great Sabrina, nice work.

[mdavid]

Yep, I agree with soapy. It worked out REALLY well. Very funny comparison with Lemog, by the way!

[daWinky]

Good Morning!

Now if you could make Patricia look a bit like my avatar, it would make me so happy!
Hey Per, your overpaint was so much fun, of course I want to make you happy, and looking at the ears and the hair of your cute avatar maybe my first Patricia version will have some similarity:scream: ...


Jesus, haha, your combination is perfect:thumbsup: ...too pity that I get the good suggestions now with the Lanier mesh nearly finished...but I've heard somewhere that Russell Crowe beats innocent people with telephones, perhaps not so good for a hero...


I was just thinking of the spot in the book when Lanier meets Patricia the first time:"an altogether unpractical-looking woman, he thought. Beneath wide square eyes as black as his own, and a small, sharp nose, she had drawn her mouth into a tight line" Hey Tiziano, thanks for the quote...I've totally overseen this description, you're right...hmmm, perhaps I give the darker eyes a second try:) ...


Hi Tony, how nice to see you again, I've already missed you in Lemog's thread...thanks for your kind comment, will we get a daily "keep going" now:bounce: ??? Your motivation is always appreciated!

I can't stop laughing... you will make my evening guys and of course... I'm so disturbing Sabie ... and the dream comes true Lolo, great to see you've some fun with this...Per is too good with his overpaint! And of course I'm happy to make a dream come true, though I've no clue which dream:D ...


Just poking my head in to cheer a little bit, wish I could be more active here, looks like you've got a good thing going! If I could give one small crit it might be that the forehead seems a bit small, maybe he needs more headroom above the eyes - but it just depends on the character and so far everything looks impressive. Hey Becca, so nice that you find the time for a visit here, I know that you're very busy atm...and a good point for Lanier, thanks for your critical look, I'll try to fix this now that I have the good reference hero:D ...


Hey Timur, you've just missed a little fun, but that's also important here, not? Texturing is a mix of some photo references and painting...and I doubt to be fast, but the energy for this comes certainly with the good motivation and the fun I have here!
About the skin, I'm not sure which skin you're talking of:scream: , but my Lanier looks blue because the main lightsource for him is the blue light of the plasma tube...time to read the book for you:twisted: !


Jim, thank you, glad to hear this!:)


Mark, thanks a lot for your visit! And with you and Per and the other nice people around in my thread it's always fun:thumbsup: ...


Well, I found some time yesterday for Patricia's head and now just rendering some tests, so stay tuned for the next update!

When we'll see your Patricia? Do you image her beautiful or just like commen girl?

[Gunilla]

Morning Sabie..haha, this have become such a funny thread! And whil others are starting to create little green men I see you have your goal with a little blue one - Schtroumph-alien? :scream:
We're all of course very eager to see your Patricia now... :thumbsup:

[Lemog]

I see you have your goal with a little blue one - Schtroumph-alien? :scream:
Who ? me ? :D hahahahaha

[daWinky]

Morning Timur,
...and last 5 days I've been working on my Prtf.
When we'll see your Patricia? Do you image her beautiful or just like commen girl?
I've no clue what a Prtf is:scream: ...and you can have a first look at Patricia now and judge yourself:) ...

Hey Gunie, blue light, blue skin:shrug: ...and I've read nothing of a green alien:wise: , Patricia is on the way, but with some strange MR problems...

Morning Lolo, oh no:scream: , you've changed your avatar, what have I done...but wait, it wasn't really me, it was Per...:D ...nice new look!

I have some problems with the skinshader and no time to fix it now, so just a screenshot and the untextured Patricia as a preview...

[Greatto]

Hello again :)
Great... She looks great in profile and in 3/4. but its really hard to comment the face without skin. MMM... I know you will done it in perfect...
Good Luck!

P.S. Prtf means Portfolio :)

[Golpe]

Nice modeling!!It looks like porcelain hehe.

( One answer: your cat of your avatar. Where is he/she put in? I can´t discern haha. Just a doubt:D )

[Lemog]

She seem already very nice... at this step and with this angle, nothing to crit for me, clean and pretty... :thumbsup: selfportrait ? :scream:

[Greatto]

Well... saw your Patricia again a find some... ok i think if you will fix this, will be batter |

Lemog: Great Avatar :)

[daWinky]

Timur, yes, this comes out a little exaggerated at the mouth...will fix this later, thanks for pointing this! Ah, and Prft = Portfolio...ok:D !

Hey Gonzalo, thanks and nice to have you here for a visit! And I'm shocked, I would never put my cat in something:scream: ! He - Marvin - is sitting on a bench in the garden and watching me while working hard...and he's always hoping I'm harvesting some appetizing flesh instead of berries someday:D ...

Lolo, glad that you like her so far...and I always wanted to be an astronaut, but no, not a selfportrait:) ...she's far away from being red-haired and green-eyed I think...or better: I'm far away from being Mr. Bear's vision of a tough physicist girl:scream: !

So no lunch for me but some fights with MR...the first skin shader version is on the way...I'm really under time pressure for the rest of the week and won't change much before next Monday, but all suggestions are as always highly appreciated:) !

Patricia's head with a basic texture, skin is still very plastic-like...
For my taste she's too round and "sweet" atm, so I try to work out the bone-structure a bit more, give her some more character...

-sabrina

[Nothingness]

wooohhhoooo,
you are really kicking it with that modeling. I hope i can do some modeling that can even get close to this. Amazing work sabrina!

looking forward to texturing!


ps. it's official: i'm now stuck with nothing more than a laptop. Mac in for repair so no updates from me anytime soon. :argh: :banghead:

[thebest]

wow can`t wait to see the hair :eek: and keep going :twisted:


will we get a daily "keep going" now:bounce: ???
you can be sure of that :scream:

[Greatto]

Hey, you are really fast one ;)
Great texturing, but it look a little bit plastic, and her lips texture are too smooth, and no bump :)
Sorry for this pressing, but want just to help :)

[Golpe]

Coool!! and send kisses to Marvin!:D :scream:

[ChewyPixels]

WOW! :eek: Really good start on Patricia. The ears look a bit odd from this angle, but it shouldn't be a problem after you give her some hair. :)

Keep it up! :wip:

[SweD]

you work really fast Sabrina, and do a great work ! nothing else to say :thumbsup:

[highbred3d]

Sabrina, really nice job on the head... nice forms... the only thing that I think it could use is a little more volume on those lower lids, look a little sunken in to me. Great job tho!

[TheFirstAngel]

scary good! great start! keep on rocking!!!

[mdavid]

I wish I could offer helpful comments but your stuff is so good and so far ahead of my own skill level. It looks just brilliant to me. So I'll stay here in the sidelines just cheering you on. I'm amazed at how quickly you work too. Good luck getting through your busy time ahead.

[soapy]

Looking good, I don't have much to add to what the others have said, so I will just do a little cheerleading and say, great work again!

[Gunilla]

Dang again! You work with incredible speed this time :eek:
And for me, really nothing to crit - this is just great work!

[Lemog]

Effectively... very fast and always very good... of course, she's maybe too much perfect... to give her more personality could be good... but maybe only if it's visible in your final framing... if not... it's already more of good... :thumbsup:

[daWinky]

A very late good morning everyone...

Nico, thanks for the nice words, very motivating! And I'm sad to hear about your continued hardware problems...I hope you're not losing too much time this way:sad: ...

Hey Tony, the hair:scream: ...I'm afraid this will be a story of it's own...we will see!
Haha, and I'm looking forward to the "keep goings", thanks!:)

Hi Timur, thanks for the critic and it's no problem at all, very much my thoughts about the skin and of course it's a wip...

Hehe, thanks Gonzalo and I'll kiss the cat :D !

Jesus, I'm afraid the ears are not looking odd only from this angle...and I'm not sure if the hair will be the solution for this, certainly some work needed...Thanks for your support:) !

Hey Cyril, not much words, but really appreciated:) , thanks!

Hi Bradford, thanks for this hint, I'll have an eye on the lids:D ...you have such a cute avatar by the way...

Hey Sacha, you're scared? This was of course not my intention:D ...thanks for the cheering!

Ah, Mark, so much cheering, thanks...and I feel far away from making such wonderful things like the "innocent bystander"...

And another cheerleader, thank you Jim!

Hey Gunie, thank's a lot and I'm not sure about the speed, so far I've only 2 heads...and time is running:scream: !

Lolo, really glad to hear that you like her and of course you have a good point here...I think the next steps are modeling the bodies and rigging...and then I have to decide about the final framing, I'm already wondering if it wouldn't be a good idea to have the focus more on one character:curious: (http://forums.cgsociety.org/misc.php?do=getsmilies&wysiwyg=1&forumid=0#)...but this is something for next week...


Thanks for the continued support and I wish you all a great weekend!

Neville, thank you and so you are waiting for her body!?
Well, some "bodybuilding" for Lanier and Patricia is planned for this week:bounce: , I hope to not disappoint you, I'm only modeling the visible parts and she'll be pretty much clothed:p ...

But first the head needs some more work, I'm eagerly painting maps and hopefully I can show an update later!

Good morning Sabrina!:)

Really looking forward to seeing the bodies on these two!
Great faces so far. Only needs some more details (z-brush kind) maybe…

Hey Lolo, a good week for you too and you don't have to wait so long for an update:)...

Morning Per, from my previous attempts I know that I'll need a while for the body modeling:scream: ...and I'm still working at the face, zBrush is not planned for the moment, I want to keep the meshes as lite as possible...but Patricia is getting details anyways:) , have a look at the next update...

A quick render of the general direction Patricia is going, still very wip...hairshadows, eyebrows and lashes are still mapped stand-ins, if I put her more in the foreground she'll get some "real" hairs later...the hair tests so far are just awful, I have to think about a solution...
atm she's pretty much near to my first vision how she might look, hope you like her...

Very good at this point... I'm a bit speechless... just imagine her with hairs (and details needed) and good lighting... yep yep :thumbsup:

Wonderfull uppdate Sabrina!
She is looking really nice now, and even looks like she hasn’t been sleeping to good lately.
She will look stunning with hair I’m sure!:bounce:
Hair in Max is generally a pain and gets really scary when you want dynamics on it.

But sure you can get a nice result with Patricia if you don’t have any fancy ideas (like princes Leah in Star Wars ore something:)).

If all things fail we are aloud to paint hair in Photoshop this time.



Two things I notice though… The Eyes are quite a bit on the bright brown side and don’t quite fit in with the rest.
And you are getting some funny lighting in her nostrils.
Maybe the edge inn there is to sharp?
Of cores the final render and what angel she will be rendered in these things may not matter.



Can’t wait to see the rest of her!:buttrock:

Ah yes, amazing for sure ... :applause: She is really beautiful, what photos did you use this time, your own? :)
We know it can't be Lolo this time, right? :D
