[Gilgamesh]

I must say that I liked it with the wrinkles and features better.

I'm not sure what the effect was. (DOF?) But I think it looks neat kind of blurry. Like an amature video or something that someone sends to Weekly World News. You might consider something like that for the final render.

[MDB101]

Gilgamesh: I didnt use any DOF :) I just added blend render and in the effects are Grain=.1, blur=5%->Pixel Secetions-Luminance 50, 60, 90, 100,10 coulor balance 5,-5,5-preserve Luminance. and thnx for the critt :) I learn of those :)

I wanted the skin to look like a ghostly like, white and a little bright type. I also seen this pic on the net and wanted to use it as a reference :) so thats how i think it should look like :) here it is.

ps, let me know if im doing somethin wrong :) I'm still learning here and that lady uhh texture goddess? thnx for your Tutorials! your da best :) thnx again :)

[SeanW]

Hey looks like your doing really well for a beginner, I love it so far. I like the texture that you achieved at the corner of his eye, I think you could push that a little more. I would also like to see the colors pushed a little more, instead of just white. Anyway just my thoughts, keep up the great work.

[MDB101]

hey guys this is startin to be more fun as I go aong man :) man this is awesome!! hehe heres the hand update so far.. i didnt add any glos yet or stuff like that :) but here it is... whata think so far?

[MDB101]

Back hand!

[Gilgamesh]

The texture looks awesome on the first pic that you posted. Just great. On the second one though, there is an obvious repeating pattern. It's looking really good though. I like the color and the feel of the texture that you are using. Pretty nice renders, too.

[MDB101]

hymm your right about the back hand there :) ill change it around and give it a vary look to it :) thnx for da critt! I like your texturing as well man :) keep it up!

[MDB101]

Holy cats! this was a hard one.. but gladly im finished it.. You know its kinda cool how u can map certain areas on the model, but man its a lot of work to do :) at least I enjoyed doing it! Now here comes da fun part, is textureing :) ill update soon again.. later.

[Koma]

good character and really good texture , i love the kind of blur on the image , all picture that I saw of ovni are always blurring ,probably because it is not a real ovni but its particularly give a nice look at your image(my opnion)

:eek: :eek:

Wow cool work!!! I love the shot of the ship in the earth's orbit :thumbsup: Really well done :p

The guys spacesuit is perfect, I think :) The only crit I would really have is that you should consider making his skin a bit translucent - it would give him a creepier feel. You could add some faint veins and stuff just below the skin...
Btw that grainy effect on your renders is cool - it gives it that real kind of authentic UFO spotter's photgraph look :)

[MDB101]

I was wondering if theres any place where I can upload animations? does cgchannel have any? hehe just checking. let me know i wanna upload flicks casue I already rigged my alien :)

[MDB101]

Notice the skin.

Good luck.

[Merlin]

Wow, that looks great! How many UV Maps did you use, or are those planar projections?

Merlin

[MDB101]

David Zachar: hehe thnx for the referance pic, but I already have that guy :) I got tons of pictures about the greys but thnx for your pic though :)


Merlin: there are total of 3 uv maps once for the head (planar) one for the hand (planar) and the other is just for the suit again planar.

Leigh, man your a goddess.. when can we go out for coffee? and a beer later? hehe :) I tried..but hey thnx for the critts :)

[MDB101]

OK I made him dance.. I used mocap that came with max 4 and played with facail morphing.. plus play some good tech tunes while he dances heheh!! here it is..

PS: you need the latest divx to play and its about 1.48 megs

[_Icarus]

Wow, great idea, I always wanted to do same type of animation! I really would like to see the final:)

Suggestion, try to make the eyes of the caracter maybe a bit more glossy like this, see if it looks good

[MDB101]

Alrighty.. These are my last pics for this guy.. Just thought Id put a background enviro.. well Im glad to say that Im happy with this alien and its time to move forward with my movie. Now I have to re-model his ships.. :) I will post the movie on this board in the future. I can't say when but when its complete ill let u know :) Anyways I had a lot of fun this time :) and I cant wait to try out another challenge! always good luck! and I thnk you for the critts! I will learn off of them.
