[ChewyPixels]

Pretty good for your first head, Tuan. Looking forward to see what you do with it in ZBrush.

Here a update, i try to model the face from collin farrel, this is only his base mesh, i will sculpting the details in zbrush.

[johnnymaster]

the vehicle is absolutely hot dude! The face needs some tweaks and then its going to look fine, too!

Here a small update, the body for the chara, i only make a low poly version, btw: again my first bodymodel:D ... i think i will give him more muscles, the arms are to thin.

[ChewyPixels]

Hehe, good one. :D

Here a quick shadertest, i made it a few days ago.

[Nothingness]

that buggy is awsome man!
:thumbsup:

i'm curious to see what you do for the clothes in your character. I could just suggest to give the face a little more work to give it a certain personality.

besides that you're doing great


keep it up

[musi]

Hej VietEmotion,

I couldn't find your concept, I am very curious about what place your beautiful models will take in your scene? Did I missed it somewhere?

Good work!

thanks mate, i hope i can finished the face and the chara this week:D

no, i haven´t got posted any concept, no time to make one, so let it be a surprise:D

[AndreiSzasz]

hey ! nice test render on russian jet, and the car looks great to.
good luck and whaiting to see more :thumbsup:

[bearfoot]

hey tuan

i love your modelling ! keep up the great work !

cheers
Neil

[Nothingness]

Hey Tuan,

amazing work on the jet :thumbsup:

maybe try to render and hide the hdri in the background. Would be better to see the object itself. At the moment the background make it a lot more complex.

I know you're still at work on the textures, but maybe you could try out a ix with an occlusion layer.

anyway, keep up the good work.

cheers

[leving]

I agree, great work on all of the models, I especially like the helicopter. Keep up the good work.

thanks for the kind comments:D guys

@Nothingness
very good that thing with the oclusion, linh said to me he often told me about that and however my problem is that i never hear on him:D

[angel]

wow, awesome vehicles. Really like that last update you posted, keep up the great work.

[musi]

That's interesting approach! I like surprises, and most definitely looking forward for this one :bounce:.

Beautiful vehicles, good modeling and texturing!

Your models and texturing and superb! I can't wait to see how you bring them all together inside ThistleDown. Any hints on your plans for the final scene?

[leving]

Great renders of the chopper :) A slight crit would be that the star on the back of the plane looks a bit too new when compared to the rest of the craft, maybe erase a bit of it out to keep up with the rest of the wear? Other than that I think it's coming along very well. Merry christmas!

[targus]

Wow man, your modelling abilities is just great. Everything look so clear and right, just perfect.
So, keep on man, i think you texturing and composition abilities not worse that you modelling skills.

Good luck.

Hey Tuan,

this is really an example for excellent work. Especially the details on the textures are amazing. :thumbsup:

Can't wait to see more.

[claudiojordao]

Great models VietEmotion... keep going.

[chaitanyak]

awesome modeling ! love the truck and aircraft. excellent detail. :)

[ChewyPixels]

Good job on the buggy, Tuan. :thumbsup:

You might want to add some variety to the color scheme. As it stands, the materials look a bit too similar.

[VietEmotion]

thanks guys for the nice comments:D

@leving
yes the star on the craft looks to clean i will fix it.

@Jedi-Juice
normally the buggycars from the us army are black, one colored:D

i have bad news, i overclocked my system and, it crashes, however it deletes my hdd so that one week of hard work is lost. But i made a backup a week ago:D the only thing is that i have to change my compositon, i have to delete the chara from the scene to mesh the deadline ... man that is realy a bad start in the year:(

[musi]

Oh, sorry to hear about your computer problems, I understand you very well - last week my machine died, but I was lucky to recover all my data.

I hope you will be able to finish the challenge and catch up with the work you have lost.
Good luck! Go-go Tuan!

Hey Tuan,

i heard from Linh you pushed your hardware a bit too much :banghead:
an important lesson, i hope, is learned.
It also reminded me to make another backup :rolleyes:

i guess new hardware will be the start for this year.

cheers and good luck

love the vehicle design and model!! tons of details! :) good luck with your final rendering!

here a small update, a 3d pre-visualization, maybe the point of view of the scene will be change a little bit, but i think it will look like that here.

here a update, some shaders and the viewpoint...

[ChewyPixels]

Hey Tuan. Excellent modeling on the environment. I also like the overall composition of your image. :thumbsup:

One thing regarding your last update. I think I also noticed this with your vehicle renders. The problem is that your renders are looking too desaturated. Your losing a lot of color information. Also, It looks like the terrain is overexposed when it comes to the lighting. Very bright while the grass elements are dark. I think these elements should be tweaked some more.

Good luck! :)

[miguelito08]

Great work VietEmotion (http://forums.cgsociety.org/member.php?u=247893), Excellent modeling

Luck!

[Nomad]

The chamber looks awesome, as far as you can texture all this the result will be fantastic.


Great work :thumbsup: good luck in the next steps/days :bounce:

[VietEmotion]

thx for the kind words guys:D

@Jedi-Juice
yes you are right with the overexposing with the ligth, i will fix it;D it was only a testrendering.
With the desaturation, i want it like it is in the buggy rendering, less color to keep it a cool feeling, like in worldwarmovies:D but thx for for critics.

now i am rendering the final image, but only the foreground, without the aircraft and the background, because to match it all, my athlon 3000 is a turtle, and i am not going to overclock it:D

[taavi]

Good luck, man!

[arturro]

keep finishing it man! I'm sure they will talk it over and let you join the final entries. It's worth it as it's really good

hell yeah ... i just heard about it that the server is not closed, 12-24 hours still open, but i can´t upload it anywhere:( got some upload probs yesterday.

thx arturo:D your entry is one of my favours!

I just sent my animation directly to Mibus via e-mail... dont know if it works...

How's the background-rendering going?

[VietEmotion]

i already finished with rendering yesterday, thx for intrest ... i think i will also send it directly to mibus.

[VietEmotion]

mibus said there is no chance to enter it, very said:(so here is my final image, i got also a video but i don´t want to post it up, because looks to bad, i have to shut down some effects to mesh the deadline, so maybe i render it later with all effects and post it.

the work on this image is not finished, i will render the background again with gi and oclusion to look how it looks like it was set to be without the deadline.

http://www.thebladegame.de/finalimage.jpg

here i play with some lights:D very dark in some areas, because i rendered it in 8 bit color, now i learned for my life, always to render in 32 bit color!!!

http://www.thebladegame.de/finalimage_2.jpg

now thx johnnymaster for many advices he gave me in the last month, nothingness and all the guys who supports me... i am out:D

[taavi]

Excellent job, deserves to be finished properly!

[Toverdoos]

Nice work you've done here :thumbsup:
I like the top image more; It is more realistic because of the higher contrasts.

So you're out of the challenge? That's too sad, deadlines suck anyway..

But you do have a nice piece of extra portfolio stuff now, be happy with it ;)

Cheers,
Nils

[ChewyPixels]

So you didn't finish on time. Ahh, neither did I. :shrug: I guess we can always practice and create more new stuff while we wait for the next big challenge. In the end, it was a great learning experience. Lots of stress, but good experience. :D

[VietEmotion]

thx guys, of course it is a nice work for my porto, however i will render it again, this was only a rush render for the deadline.

@Jedi-Juice
yes, i learn a lot, but i think i will not enter the next challenge... maybe when the subject is good:D

[nwiz25]

im very sorry u didnt make it dude.. :cry: ur earlier modeling posts are just as amazing as ur final one ... :eek: very gifted modeler :love:
me really fascinated with all the details in ur work! :eek:


looking forward to seeing u in the next challenge!
