i was working some times on the challenge, but i didn´t know if i will enter here.
so now i will try my best. hope i can finish my entry this time ;-)
this are the early sketches of the frant.
yes, i will try me on the scene were Olmy and a Frant meet Patricia.
first of all i will concentrate on the charakters then i will build up the scene.
good luck to all entrants...

here is an sketch from the body. looking funny to me ;-)
but later i decided to make him more like a human...

so here is the 3d model of him. i really tryed out some shapes of the sketches i did, but after tweeking the mesh and looking at the proportions i came up with this... ;-)

[nakaikoi]

sweet concept sketches. I really love the cute version all the way to the right in the sketch of the profiles.

Great model. My only crit is that he looks too serious and angry. I've always imagined the Frants to be more cheerful and happy, like in your profile sketches. It's your call though.

Good work!

[MacAndre]

thx nakaikoi :) i know what you mean. maybe later he will get a little smile from me. :D :)

here is a first texture test of the frant. the textures are handpainted in bodypaint. i also did some hair like the sketch...

[SweD]

hey your frant is really kewl and modeling is clean ! i like the deformation of his head and global shape !
Good luck to you MacAndre :thumbsup:

[MacAndre]

the deformation of the head was really a challenge for me .:) i did saveral modifikations and i find it hard to come to an result with balanced proprotions. :scream: thx for your reply SweD.

here is a wire and a closer look at the head...
in the moment there is only a color and a bump map with a little sss. but i think i´am not finish. i will decide if i will add some more details when i have the composition of the image (scene)...

[ChewyPixels]

Nice looking topology on the Frant! He looks a little too human for my tastes, but that's just me. Looking forward to see how he turns out in the end.

[gpepper]

Hey ! Nice job Andre ! The frant looks cool. More human. Your texturing skills are great !
Keep the good work !

[MacAndre]

@ gpepper and Jedi-Juice: i know the frant looks like a human, but i think i will keep this concept. maybe i will do some more tweeking. :)

i made some cloth for the frant. i keep it very simple, but i think that fit good to him ;-)
the textures of the cloth are not final. will add some dirt and some graphics i think...

[MacAndre]

here is a closer look. and i add some eyes...

[gpepper]

@ gpepper and Jedi-Juice: i know the frant looks like a human, but i think i will keep this concept. maybe i will do some more tweeking. :)

No matter man, I like how he is. The human look seems better to me. In the book the frant have psychological abilities more than human, I think it is a good point to give him this look. Most of the frant I saw in this challenge look like monsters, I don't think this is sensible.

[ragdoll]

nice work, i like your skin texture much much! :] is that cloth simulated or modeled and shaped? looks good too! hope to see more good luck!

-rj

[MacAndre]

thx ragdoll :) the cloth is modeled, it is just a plan, so very easy... :D

just to show the front and backside from an overview position...

[JamesMK]

That design shaped up pretty nicely, and you just can't argue with such nice and hairy legs!

I'd say the alien features are stronger that the human similarities, so IMHO his certainly alien enough to pass his frant exams. My only crit would be that, anatomically speaking, he would hardly be able to have any use for his pectoralis major due to the lack of proper tendons - but then again this area is now cleverly hidden by his upper body clothing, so it's probably nothing to worry about :D

Looking forward to some motion tests!

[yencaray]

Hey great job with your work here! i really like it! the model texturing everything came together very well!

i did this little sketch some time ago.
this is the sideview of olmy.
i used this sketch to model his head...

[MacAndre]

thx for the comments. :) i began to model olmy the head is already finished i think. i hope to bring this challenge to end. :D

the head model. looking a little bit funny with the big ears.

after creating the head,i have build the torso...

[Nothingness]

great work on the frant man!

what i just want to note on the brown guy, is that the hair on the legs should start flatter from the top. I mean, the top hairs on the legs are standing up too much. If the hair on my legs would stand up like that, i think i'd start pulling them out :-)
But don't make them flat on the below part. Just start flat from the top

(if this isn't too hard ;-) )

[MacAndre]

@ Nothingness: thx for the hint. :) in the final image the legs can´t be seen. so i hope i did not have to change this yet. maybe later... :D :)

[mmoir]

Hey Andre,


I like the characters designs , the Frant looks very good and so does Olmy. Nice job on both of them. I look forward to the final image and good luck .

[MacAndre]

@ mmoir: thx. :) i did not have mutch enviroment in my image. most of the elements will be the both chars, so i will try to give them the best look i can. :wise: :D

[MacAndre]

here is my first test for a pose of olmy. in the midground i will place the frant and behind him some kind of enviroment.

now i have made some textures for the head. it is a combination between hand a painted texture and procedural shaders...

just a little render test to see if the proportions between olmy and frant are right...

[MacAndre]

just a pose test without olmy, but now with a easy background.

[alvin-cgi]

Nice skin work, did you apply any sss on it? that would be coooool.:thumbsup:



ENO (http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?p=4159132#post4159132)

[MacAndre]

@ alvin-cgi: yes, there is really a little bit sss, but not to mutch, thats because the sss shader of cinema is not to got, so if the strenght of the shader is to mutch you will see some parts of the mesh under the skin, like the eyeballs for example.

[Jakyll]

Hi Mac

Wahnsinn....was du da schon wieder zauberst.
Jetzt wurmt es mich, dass ich nicht weiter gemacht habe.

Schaffst du das Final noch?

Grüße

Insanity….which you there already again charms.
Now it "wurmt" me that I made not further.

Do you create the final still?

Greetings

[MacAndre]

hi jürgen,
ich hoffe doch. :D aber es wird verdammt eng... :rolleyes: und schön dass es dir gefällt.
gruß andre

i used the cinema hairmodule.

[MacAndre]

Superb.
What a pity you can't up this one before the deadline. I love your characters, and textures are really great, especially the leather.
View is interesting too.

SOoo....a great job MacAndré, i'm sorry you'vn't upload this one, and i'm waiting your animation ;)

[MacAndre]

thx :scream: maybe next time... :thumbsup:
