Meet Skizzo and Phrenique (Skizzo is on the left).

Skizzo can fly - Phrenique gets air sickness.

Phrenique is a genius - Skizzo Is as dumb as a box of rocks - In fact Phrenique was held back in high school no less than 4 times on account of Skizzo.

Skizzo gets all the girls - Phrenique gets none - This makes Phrenique bitter and is part of the reason that he hates the world.

Any Ideas - What do you think?

[KayosIII]

http://www.midcoast.com.au/~rgcoy/art/CgChallenge/Skizzo_concept_04v.png
There is hard work and study involved too.

Of course both of them have been caught talking through their a***s at times.

"Saving the world for dummies" and "conquering the Earth in 21 days" books are great, where can I buy one for myself?;) amazon.com?;)

[rockrat]

Cool sketches and a great idea.

[MikeRhone]

This is the best idea Ive heard so far, hands down. Congrats, you actually made me laugh out loud.

:p

[TRyanD]

Nice idea!

:thumbsup:

Best up so far, i dont even know if ill enter mine :|

[betelgeuse]

Hey, shouldn't you be working on the Wings ribbit plugin?
Just kidding; it sounds like you've got a good idea there. I can't wait to see how it turns out.
Model like the wind!!

[Rye]

oh man that butt face i s SCARRRYYYYY, great job!:thumbsup:

[KayosIII]

Thanks everybody......
This was the first render of the head that is going to be used by both Skizzo & Phrenique....

Here is the a screenshot of my current work http://www.midcoast.com.au/~rgcoy/art/CgChallenge/Skizzo_head_model_02.jpg

[KayosIII]

I have finished both the heads for the time being - time to move onto other parts of the model.

[mtmckinley]

Nice! :D

[TRyanD]

awsome :thumbsup:

[KayosIII]

Managed to model the head gear from the concept sketches....

[KayosIII]

My current working screenshot... As you can see there is still plenty of tweaking to do.....

Thanks everyone for the praise -- As always constructive Crits are welcome.

[KayosIII]

I least I find them that way.

http://www.midcoast.com.au/~rgcoy/art/CgChallenge/hand_screenshot.jpg

[MukMan]

Very original concept. I like! WHat are you using to model these things?

[KayosIII]

http://www.midcoast.com.au/~rgcoy/art/CgChallenge/skull.jpg

I am using Wings3d (http://www.wings3d.com) for the actual modelling... Some of the renders use Realsoft3d.

[KayosIII]

I didn't get this to be perfect because I am going to be mostly covering it

http://www.midcoast.com.au/~rgcoy/art/CgChallenge/skizzo_phrenique_body.jpg

[KayosIII]

Started adding the clothing (who would have thought that extract region would be so useful....

[betelgeuse]

Hey, man, this is looking awesome! Makes me wonder why we haven't seen more of your stuff over at the Wings dev forum gallery.
Keep going.

[KayosIII]

Mainly because I have spent most of my time on the computer dealing with the Povray & Ribbit plugins....

[digital_demon]

nice work:D

[azazel]

Nice, but I think his torso is a bit to wide. Even with two heads, it looks a bit off ;) Another idea: let the heads share a piece of the neck, that way U could have more "natural" body ;):thumbsup:

[TRyanD]

Wow totally awsome job so far, but the neck bothers me alot :O

It looks wrong like that, they need to be connected at the neck :shrug:

ATM it looks like their heads omce out of their shoulders.

GJ though cant wait for the final :D

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[KayosIII]

Yeah The neck thing looks kinda funny... Difficult to do unreal anatomy well....

Anyways added a whole bunch of stuff.

[BiTMAP]

lol, nice, how bout you make the bases of the necks right next to eachother, so the heads are almost crushed into one another, another reason for bitterness towards eachother. I like this almost as much as the Obesessive compulsive disorder man!

[mtmckinley]

Great job! Looking forward to more. :D

What exactly is Xdugef? Some sort of software, I'm sure. Don't think I've heard of it.

Something I thought of: Complete Idiot's Guide to: EVIL and show a big Microsoft logo. :D

[KayosIII]

Its an in joke at CGTalk - I am just jumping on the bandwagon ;)
I have other versions of the book and will show them at a later date....

[KayosIII]

UM I have been working on the cloak bit... Having difficulties - Anybody know a good tutorial on modelling drapey Cloth Well.... I don't have any tools that specifically do cloth.

[KayosIII]

http://www.midcoast.com.au/~rgcoy/art/CgChallenge/neck_job.jpg

[Clanger]

I think everthing is looking very fine.
Would be nice to see a larger render, tricky to see what's going on.

[KayosIII]

Still quite a bit of tweaking to do before I show off the details -- the cloak is killing me at the moment.

[littlebrother]

No harsh criticism - just keep up the awesome work!

[KayosIII]

Heya first update -- been playing a bit with bones and materials.... It all gets a lot harder from here.

Anyways this is what you came to see
http://www.midcoast.com.au/~rgcoy/art/CgChallenge/skiz_phren_blend.jpg

[samartin]

OMG your bum-chin geezer is KIRK DOUGLAS, looking real good, I find modelling 1 head enuff' nevermind 2... sweet...

[Hmura]

Thats a cool concept, very nice modeling as well, especially good work on the clothing... nice to see another wings user... :bounce:

[KayosIII]

samartin: I assume thats a compliment... who is Kirk Douglass??? Modelling two heads wasn't that much harder... I developed a generic head to a certain copied it twice tweeked them both differently and added the different features....

Hmura... Thanks... I don't know what to say except -- Wings is a really nice modeller... (I am sorry to the folks waiting for the next installments of the povray and renderman exporters) I am doing the challenge at the moment.

Finally Skizzo finally has some hardware -- I am not that familiar with handguns so if there is something obviously wrong (except the ommision of a trigger) let me know.

http://www.midcoast.com.au/~rgcoy/art/CgChallenge/hardware.jpg

Right now most of my time is being spent learning the wonderful world of boning.

[samartin]

Indeed it was a compliment, I always model from feet upwards and I always do modelling integrated, so I don't attach a head to the body so therefore adding another head would be my idea of a welding nightmare, I hate welding points...

Your gun is looking alot like a mini UZI, not that I know alot about guns, anyways I attached a reference to some blueprint site, not sure if it is useful to you, but you never know...

Blueprints of guns (http://www.urban-armory.com/blueprints.htm)

PS. Kirk Douglas is the guy from Spartacus...

[KayosIII]

I spent the last week trying to bone or skin.... I have been thwarted at every turn by my software so I decided to texture the model first....

Anyways here is the first bit of actual textureing - A belt - Yeah I know that the area below the belt looks a little funny I plan to cover it with a big shiny cod piece....http://www.midcoast.com.au/~rgcoy/art/CgChallenge/belt.jpg

[KayosIII]

Who thought that a MiniDV cam could be so useful... Still learning this texture stuff.

http://www.midcoast.com.au/~rgcoy/art/CgChallenge/hand_texture.jpg

[KayosIII]

Although the tools are a bit primitive I have got to say that the 3D Paint Tools in Blender3d can get results....

Anyways I have started to texture Phreniques Head...


http://www.midcoast.com.au/~rgcoy/art/CgChallenge/phren_textured.jpg

[KayosIII]

Eyes etc...
http://www.midcoast.com.au/~rgcoy/art/CgChallenge/glasses1.jpg http://www.midcoast.com.au/~rgcoy/art/CgChallenge/glasses2.jpg

[azazel]

Didn't knew blender had painting abilities ;)
Phreniques looks better with less shiny skin IMO. Keep it up:bounce:

[KayosIII]

Still not done (modelled with splines)
http://www.midcoast.com.au/~rgcoy/art/CgChallenge/eyebrows.jpg

[KayosIII]

This is getting pretty close to the final... I still have a lot to learn about texturing but at least phrenique looks half decent....

http://www.midcoast.com.au/~rgcoy/art/CgChallenge/final1.jpg

[Rey]

Wow that looks pretty good.
I like what you've done with
Phrenique's head. The texture looks really good.
It has a nice creepy feeling to it.
:thumbsup:
