I missed the last two previous CG challenges, i decided I dont want to miss this one.

So, this piece is just an idea that I have right now. I will change it if theres a better one.

The concept has to do with a couple (a man and woman) who decided to start a cafe in the moon and called it "Lunar Cafe". In the image (rough just very quick sketch) it shows the couple while dining and have a cup of coffee. While on the parking lot is the space craft they have. While overlooking the earth.
The Lunar cafe will be the next star bucks in the moon!!! This couple also plans to build a Lunar Hotel, Condominium, resort, shoping mall etc.

Welcome to the challenge! I will love to go to that café, and watch the earth. Kind of sad to, since it will mean over population of humans! And also the irony of Startbucks it’s good they have become the new McDonalds invading everywhere! It’s awful. Also my sister and I really like your idea and hope to see more form you

Heres another idea/concept. I will continue developing both of this images and eventually decide which one will be more fitting for the theme.

This scene is about a girl for some reason likes to have fun in a extreme way by jumping from a helicopter and parachuting to land on particular area in the city. And while she was descending she was spotted by a young man on the window of their apartment who took pictures of her.

hey axel, nice to know that your sister like the lunar cafe idea. lately, i have this new idea and I thought I should just transfer this lunar cafe into animation as an entry to that part of the challenge. But, I'm still not sure; later will find out which one to keep and which one to transfer.

I started constructing/modeling one of the building. Instead of just window i replaced it with a mini-veranda/balcony type.

finally put some materials/map to this building

[AxelAlonso]

Hi Manny,
I am glad you have more great ideas coming, the hole lunar café was great!, but also the idea on the animation it will be really something else, the buildings have some sort of oriental atmosphere on them very urban, and the idea of her and her laptop, looks good maybe to big if its “SFI” but that might be for the reason that it’s a conceptual sketch, and not really the design of it? Well take care and keep it up, the updates are telling that you’re working hard! Good work….:thumbsup:

[octopus7]

The girl with the parachutes sounds like an interesting idea. Good modelling on the building & I agree with AlexAlonso in the fact that the building has an oriental feel to it. I am reminded of Japanese style apartment blocks. Maybe you could make it an asian city she is going to work in.

[blakbird]

Design is very original, indeed will you add a special costume for the girl.

Also, designing a more futuristic chute system may attract much interest i think.

I am keeping an eye on this thread :bounce:

[thepineman]

thanks for the comments people i really appreciate that. i've been very busy the last few weeks. i will make an update next week and i willl try to incorporate some of the points you people gave.

initial colour testing for the second building

[AxelAlonso]

Hi Manny,
I am sorry for the late replay! but WOW!:eek: You are going al out! Love the chopper and the building details! I wonder if you already got a shoot from the entire composition. But I have no idea how much modeling it's left from you character, Keep working hard! It shows that a lot! Great work!:thumbsup:

most of the helicopter gunships are coloured black so maybe have dark purple for a change.

dual parachute now textured-

[thepineman]

hey axel how you doin? how's canada these days still cold? i would like to go whistler someday and try snowboarding.

yes, i dont have the entire composition yet, i am still doing the bits and pieces of it and then combine them all together for one full render.

[AxelAlonso]

Hi Manny,

The models are looking great ! Really Kohl!:thumbsup: The duals parachutes are looking great for the idea were they go, and I like the dark purple option so it will stand out more the blackness of the guns!:) Then again it will also recomend to do some low render shoot of the scene so you can see were all fits in the scene in 3d

Hey so glad you ask about the weather in here since its all cold! haha! :rolleyes: I wish I could be at you beautiful country! Rather than wearing double everything, Whistler by the way it’s packed with reservation already! So I am thinking already some place else to go snowboarding. Maybe your model agrees with me haha!
