To bad that you lost your last moddel.
How did it happen.:( had a virus or you just excedently erased it?
Well Your new one look's nasty. Looks like a mumified body of a thousand years which has been dug up.:wavey:
But he has a nasty sparkling eye.
Will he raise out of his grave to kill ?? Who know's:eek: :p

[rolhionjs]

not a technical pb.... just my stupidity... :( i erase it by thinking it was another file, and tssshuusss the mesh.. :(

but anyway... thx for the comment ! :) a mummy uh ? :) :) i even don't know who he is, but one think is sure : i hope never see in real the one i created ! :) :) :)

[Gilgamesh]

That is a creepy model.
I was wondering, do you have any thoughts on what the final composition is going to be? You showed a couple different angles, and so I was curious if you have a specific one in mind.
The texture on the character seems like it might be a little haphazardly applied. What kind of UV mapping did you apply? Oh, and what program are you using?
Anyway, it's looking pretty good so far, and I'm looking forward to updates.

Did you lose the model that is on your avatar? I love that model.

Edit:
Ahh! You changed it!

[rolhionjs]

About the angle i'll choose : i still don't know, but the last one is more interesting i think :) i'll see in time ;)

About UV... well i'm a recent user in 3D, it's only 4 months i'm working on lightwave for pleasure, so i still don't know all the fonctions of texturing... In this 3 scenes, i used the same UVs, but as you can see, it's not really "realistic" so i'll have to work harder on this. These challenges are cool for that too : it's a good way to beginners like me, to have a chance to learn things an doing things in a precise time. :)

I'll try to get more realistic skins in the next posts ;)

thx for your comment ! :)

[rolhionjs]

a little update of the body texture

[leigh]

:eek: that's really creepy...
...but cool too! :D

[rolhionjs]

well about the fur, it was not really a good idea, so i prefer working more on skin texture and lights.

For example here's the result after 15 hours of rendering on my poor celeron500

[Chico]

Very dark..I like this...Has a real painted feeling.
Id almost expect to see it in a church:bounce:

[rolhionjs]

Sorry to posting that here, but something very important is coming in FRANCE... and i have to stop this challenge... Due to political views, actually we're electing our new President here, and the 2 finalists are the worse we can have...

Fascism is coming strongly here, and i closed my site to support my ideology and fight this new thing here... People here voted for the worse that could happen... This guy Jean-Marie Lepen, is the extreme in the right of human being... Nothing so bad could happen in the country we name : the country of the human rights... It's sad but that's reality...

Another time sorry to post that here, but all the graphic community here is touch by what's happening... Alot of sites closed to fight in their own way this new thing... And that's my case...

Well i hope you'll understand all what's signify that, and i hope you'll support french people who trust in truth, real valours of peace and fraternity.. and to the contrary, fight all the thing this man is thinking...

[Koma]

c est plate que tu lache , par-contre c est bon de tenir ses idées jusqu'aux bout je te souhaite bonne chance a toi et tout les francais ,je vous supporte dans vos demarche . Mais si tu t'amusait dans ce concours ca donne rien d areter se qu'on aime pour rien au monde,j'espere donc que tu feras quelque update .

[rolhionjs]

I hope to have time to update too... and Gabe... if you wanna support, i posted a thread on general discussion, and i'm sorry to see it's sometimes not so good to defends idea and try to explain things to people who are not really engage in it....

thanks for your comment my friend...

[leigh]

Hey there, .::STRIKE::.
I agree with Gabe - I'm very sorry to see that you want to give up here. You've gotten this far already, so why not finish it?
I understand where you are coming from, as I too live in a country of extreme political unrest and violence, but I wouldn't let that stop me from doing what I love.
However, then again, I am not much of a patriot, being of British lineage myself, so perhaps I do not understand your devotion to your cause and views, which, by the way, I strongly admire and respect.
I do hope, however, that you do find the time to continue the challenge, because your work is excellent.
Leigh

[rolhionjs]

I'll do continue Leigh :)

It's good to know people understand what's going on herer ... even if my thread in general discussions was too political and has been censured, i understand then that i don't have to stop here my work for political reasons... ;) Thx Leigh :)

[OZ]

is easy to be a humankind,but is far more difficult to be a man!
I agree ur position!Im been in france a month ago,and i think that is a place to defend,and to fight for................however is a shame u stop working on ur project.

:buttrock: .::STRIKE::. rulez:buttrock:

[rolhionjs]

thx OZ !!! and don't worry : i will not give up my challenge ;) :)

OZ Power !! ;) :buttrock:

[Sangotten]

That damn hypocrit asshole called Le Pen, he's ruining the face of France, in the Netherlands we have also someone that is a Fascist politian and rising fast....Pim fortyun. Those people say they know what's best for their country, blaming the foreigners/assylum seekers for everything.

There is no place nor time for fascism!!!



(It's probaly your (and then I mean the France people) own faulth cause lot's of France didn't go out to vote....shame....But that doesn't mean that it's okay to have a fascist running for president!)

...hope to see you finish your challenge!!!

[rolhionjs]

thx Sangotten :) but finally it's not a solution to stop everything coz of him so here's another update.

Well it's time for me to work seriously on textures... Here's a try :

http://www.designpicture.com/images3Dversion/challenge_texture14.jpg

[rolhionjs]

day after day i learn how to texture... not so easy... i think i'm gonna add some veins, but is it so important in a creature like this one... ? :) :)

http://www.designpicture.com/images3Dversion/challenge_texture15.jpg

[leigh]

Hey Strike! Good to see you back again!
Man, your character is looking SO spooky!!! :eek: The textures are coming along cool too - ADD VEINS!!! He is a fantasy creature so why not give him anything you want?!
For texturing stuff, check out my workshop... the link is below :)

[rolhionjs]

gosh Leigh... you're a saver for me ! :) :) Your thread about texturing seems to be great !! I'll surely take time to read all very slowly to understand all ! :D Thx to have done that for beginners like me ;) :) :) :)

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Koma]

happy to see you back yah !!!:beer: :wavey: :thumbsup:

[sivel]

ah oui, de mieux en mieux! :buttrock:
j'aimerai juste voir un peu plus de variations sur ta texture, histoire de detacher certaines parties (les gencives, les contours des yeux, etc...)
en tout cas, je suis content que tu sois tjs la!
il parait meme que c'est dans ces sombres periodes qu'on est soit disant plus creatif, alors mets les bouchees doubles STRIKE, profites en tant que le facho a encore l'attention des medias...:annoyed: :annoyed:


a+!

[rolhionjs]

Well another shitty thing happened :

My computer crashed... :( :suprised:
Time for me to buy a new configuration and install all, i'm not sure to have a chance to finish (again) to the deadline date... But anyway, as soon it's repair, i hope to do the maximum to finish...

Gosh it means i will not be able to update that at least for one week... :( too bad....

When shit happens one time, it's a long list that follows... :annoyed: :annoyed: :annoyed:

[eugene_fraxby]

shit man, things dont just happen in ones do they:annoyed:

hope to see you back soon, with updates

a

[dies-irae]

EXCELLENT!!

vraiment pas de bol pour ton pc... desole'! (surtout car j'aime tellement ton wip, ça va etre dur une semaine voire plus sans updates!)
Je suis d'accord avec sivel, avec la derniere texture, on voyait plus tellement les differentes parties de la tete...

mais bon, ce serait pour quand tu retournera' jouer avec nous :shrug:

(sorry for the french guys, i was on the phone and i cant think in 2 different languages at the same time :p)

[rolhionjs]

well, i'm back with a new PC, so now it's ok, here's another update. For this one i used 6 differents maps and changing saturation of the main one.

next step : the eyes, and adding veins :)

:buttrock: :drool: MALADE!!!! :drool: :buttrock:

c'est vraiment vraiment fort. jadore le style.

travaille un peu latexture du petit crane et wow!!!



tu utilise quel sorte de mapping??? (uv planar.? , cylinder...sphere..??)


element

[rolhionjs]

J'ai une UV planar, pour les zébrures au-dessus du crâne, 5 image map de textures différentes, appliquées successivement avec des options de fusion et une opacité variable, (dont les veines qu'il faut que je contraste un peu plus)

J'ai 1 specular très légère en planar,

et 3 bumps : une procédurale crumple, une pour les veines suivant la même règle que pour la surface, et une "peau déchirée" :)

Merci pour le comment ça fait plaisir :)

[leigh]

Wow Strike!!! This is just getting better and better! :eek:

[Chico]

Gotta hand it to ya...That beautiful. I too particulay love the eyes.
Keep it up Strike.:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[rolhionjs]

well i just made a special anim for my challenge end. Nothing exceptionnal, just a kinda trailer for somthing later ;)

here is the link :

http://www.designpicture.com/images3Dversion/cgtalk_april.avi

[Chico]

Spooky, I really Love those eyes aye.:thumbsup:

Is the jumping a compreession thing or is that something wrong at my end..? Or is it by design.

I like it anyway...:bounce:

[rolhionjs]

In fact i add some filters images in After effects upon the main render, and the compression for the web (and most of all my server ;) ) make this bad compression... :( but anyway in full quality, there's no troubles ;) Thx Chico :)

[Chico]

Looks good though, I did notice the overlays, they add some nice grunge to the anim.:buttrock:

[leigh]

Cool animation Strike!!! As usual, excellent work :)

[edaddy]

this could be a TOOL video:thumbsup:

[Chico]

Nice call..!

I love the tool vids

[rolhionjs]

It could be, and will be edaddy ;) as soon i learn how to use bones correctly ;) :) i will make something longer and more realistic that this sad movement of the demon ;) :) thx !

[hiko_]

beau travail ! :)
J'aime beaucoup les yeux aussi.

Pour la critique je la verra plus du coté modelisation avec des parties un peu trop abrutes ...
courage :)

[Thoth]

Hi there :) ...looking good...well, great ..amazing :) The texturing and lightning is superb.

When looking at the textures and the way the bumbs are rendered I could swear it's the result of the great renderer of Lightwave........is it?

Il semble grand ....hah! ...is that french or what... huh?! :buttrock:

:)

[rolhionjs]

Lightwave rulez yea ! il est génial ! ;) :)

thx for the compliment Thoth :)

[Chico]

Weve just brought a seat of lghtwave here. Mainly got it due to its animation capabilities...But if my memory serves me right the renderer was always the best..DOnt supose there are any good tuts for someone to get stuck into the materilas side of things in Lightwave..???

Like I said we got it for rigging and animation...which means its not for me, but Im still keen on having a play:p
