Congratulations and good luck with the models :thumbsup:

[StevenEgan]

Amazing! Loving the Predator. I have a little model of him sat on my desk, and I can't see any big differences. The Alien queen is off to a nice start too. Also Pumpkin head is great. Arnold starting to look the part. Plus I can't wait for the detailing on that T-Rex.

Your work here is really great. I think this is my favorite entry into this comp so far!

[farazmobin]

wow ..those are gonna be alot of models..and i know all of them will look tremendous ..awesome progress so far

[DaezD]

wow! how fast ??

this is gonna be a very nice collection in a very short space of time.


very very impressed oliveira..keep it up!

[Antropus]

Hey Alex, great updates man. I'm kinda getting excited to make other models as well. I was thinking about a Predator bust only and a full body T-Rex... but it's just too much work if I want to finish my pumpkin head scene (texturing, lighting and render).

Keep the goodies coming man.

-Kris

[WyattHarris]

Really amazing work. Everything is coming together so fast.

[Bruno-Camara]

Hey master. Your models are getting nice.

I'm going to get in this too. Going to model the terminator full body (half arnorld, half machine)

Keep up.

till friday, hehe.

[namnocilis]

You are tooo good! Superb Speed! very challenging to do all those characters and you are making it seems so effortless.. wow! I have always been a big fan of your works mainly for your speed and details.. waiting for that finished piece!

[SinisterUrge]

I think deep down there is no point in finishing this project, because your only gonna win it. We'll see, what you've done so far is great as always

[oliveira]

WyattHarris-thank you!

Bruno-Camara-wow! i am sure that you will do a great work,thank you!

[KingMob]

Man, you are blazing fast, and talented..lethal combo. I can not wait to see more things come together, what a great tribute.

[SinisterUrge]

@Ian: I've bought the first of your gnomon dvds. What you've thought is really helping, its needed against true sculptures like Alex.

[nmcelmury]

Wow this stuff is fantastic, you sir are a machine! Keep up the great work! :wip:

[Locusta]

Stunning!! Your fast progress is totally amazing!! Great work on all models. I love the Predator face the most. And Stans bust will be amazing too.

Thumbs up and bow down!

[SinisterUrge]

You nailed Arnie, that's how he looked in Terminator 1, his appearance changed in Predator and T2. Same goes for the other models, now comes the tedious task of detailing. Welcome to the club

[sapienz]

looking at your wip, i've got a pretty good idea on whose gonna get the best model.
I think the Stan sculpt is turing out pretty good.

[Intervain]

really great progress here :wip:

[southparx]

great stuffs here altogether Mr Oliver,

the Stan model likeness is already really close at such early stage!

amazinggg, can't wait to see all of them put together ;)

cheers,

anyway, Arnold is great! And Stan looks great too!

Keep it up... looking forward to the finished piece!

Since you asked in a nice way....
one clue...
Steampunk...


-R

[Locusta]

My jaw drops!!! Stunning man, stunning. Do you even go to sleep from time to time??

You make an Arnold just like that? Wow! Spechless me now is. ;)

Great digi sculpting here Alex, amazing and great!

[Deracus]

just awesome....

The first pages made me thinking "man...how much models wants the guy to start?"...

You´re making great progress. Really looking forward to the finished scene.

Seeing someone with that much skill and making so much progress so fast really scares me a bit. I thought about trying to join...but i´m not anywhere near your skill on your weakest days...so...dunno...

But hearing, that steampunk is the next topic makes me thinking...hmmm...we´ll see.
But for the time being i´ll be watching the progress. Just discovered HMC and it´s cool to see so much great artists putting lot´s of effort in their peaces...

[Tasp]

Oliveira- Your terminator is looking amazing, I'm in awe of how you've gone from the basic organic model of Arnold to the half machine portion. If you have the time I'm really interested to know if you just sculpted the harder details from Arnold's soft surface face or if you did something else to help make those hard surfaces. This is something so very beyond what I'm currently capable of I can't help but wonder how you're doing it.

And slightly off topic but this struck a chord with me-

just awesome....

I'm no where near the skill level of most people on this forum, but it's helping me learn so much. To even attempt this challenge was hard for me, but things are slowly coming together. I can see my skills improving as the challenge helps me get motivated to practice every day. The people here are also super supportive and as someone who doesn't have very many artist type friends getting feedback/crit/support really helps push things along.

[StevenEgan]

Steampunk... sounds cool! I will have to take part in that.

anyway, These latest updates are great! It's nice to see all these characters taking shape.
Really impressive stuff!

[DDS]

Since you asked in a nice way....

Steampunk...


-R

Steampunk again. Uhh what a nice feeling...who needs sex with such words...

[WyattHarris]

I see a glimpse of where you are going with the T-Rex model. That's going to be a beaut' when its finished.

Everything is looking good good good, keep it up.

[Umoc]

Great set of sculpts you've made. They're all looking top notch. Arnie's looking really good and your sculpt of Stan really captures that happy personality. I'm especially looking forward to that one. Keep it coming.:thumbsup:

[oliveira]

RobertoOrtiz-thanks!!

Locusta-thank you!

Tasp-yes i agree with you! here we can have a good chance to try let our work better .thank you! about the hard surface , i will use two technics here .As you can see in the new Arnold update im working on soem pieces in hard surface that i imported from XSI
but i will work something with freehand .What i did was use the Flatten Brush and the Pinch ,Any way ,im recording movies to all characters process , i will ask Pixologic to help to dowload all movies .I guess that will help you to you really how i did it

StevenEgan-thanks!

DDS-thank you!

Always enjoyed your work, and watching you and Kris knock out amazing work got me amped to join this challenge even at this late date.

hi oliveira,

i followed this contest from the very beginning...

got to say that your predator version has the best expression and detail by far. very nice work
looking forward for the next updates

StevenEgan- thank you! im using some shaders from my friend Rogelio Oliveira and the shaders from Adam Lewis

[Klasz]

You rwork is very impressive, and the models have such detail and soul ! great.
About the Predator. perhap si'm totally wrong as i don't know perfectly the predator's anatomy, but i'd like to see a HOLE into the mouth :), because for the moment it seems being opaque.... but perhaps the hole is going the way up....

Anyway, fantastic work
for an simple observer like me, it's a pleasure for the eye

[sapienz]

Oh... So you were the one who did the Hulk + Barbarian.
You really have a good eye for detail. The Arnie likeness is quite amazing as it is now

Something off topic...
Are your traditional sculpture and digital sculpture classes inter-related?
Does your digital sculpturing students go through a series of traditional sculpting classes as well?

[southparx]

hi Mr Oliveira,

i really like the Arnie especially in post #63 the right side one - where he's looking at his left - like he's real tough ... coooollll

i totally agree that your sculptures have so much soul in it...

i am an admirer, sir :beer:

keep rocking and delight us with updates

[forcystus]

Wonderful work Alex!!! The predator is amazing to me, and the arnorld too!!!


Keep the amazing work!

[TimCallaway]

All of your models are absolutely excelent! I can't wait for more.

[farazmobin]

thats right mr oliver ...your predator is one Ugly Mo...F*ker.. (Arnold in deepshit scared to death accent).

Amazing work. images saved

[oliveira]

Klasz-thank you!! yes i will work on the mouth area more

sapienz-thank you! yes many of my digital students are studing traditional sculpture with me.

Nice update. Your pumpkin head is unreal! I love the details. Very nice.
The T-Rex is good too. I like the feel of the skin.
The alien queen is very good also.

[Deracus]

thumbs up

[Klasz]

Total respect/

i really like the soul you put in your work. and i'm amazed by the speed at which you do this.

[Locusta]

Stunning updates, Alex. Your Predator kills me. Btw. I love the material and lightning you use in Zb. Gives a great feeling of the shapes.

Again, I´m just amazed about your sculpting abilities and the fastness.

And very nice idea to post recordings of your work later on. It would be great to see how you work.

Thumbs up!

great job Alex...your the king of multi models at one. They all look amazing..keep it up

[Spin99]

Got to be some of the best modeling I've seen here.
Predator Stan and Pumpkinhead to me, in that order.

Can I ask if it's just ZBrush or you use Mudbox as well?

Amazing thread, Brazilians are so kicking ass imho
Aí cara!

[StevenEgan]

Alex, this is amazing. Your Stan model is brilliant! I love the predator too, but it looks like the head is either too small, or the neck is too thin. I don't know.

anyway, brilliant work!

[vshen]

Overall your progress is amazing on all of the icons. I'm really lvong your predator, terminator and pumpkinhead pieces. Looking forward to your progress and will be keeping track from now on. Very Inspirational!

[oliveira]

bradjames-thank you!

Spin99-thank you! im using Zbrush

Great work!

[AET23]

im loving that Arnold model. id definitely buy it if it was put on a poster.

[hakanpersson]

That t-rex is beautiful, though I fear for a task like detailing it like that all over:D Very realistic style on all your work. With some shader and texturework this would fit right onto the silver screen.


Keep it up. Waiting eagerly for the final images.

[Spin99]

Now I like Pumpkinhead Stan and Predator. And Terminator of course.
Comparing styles (Antropus) I really like your hi-res sculpting. Really nice line imho
He's going polypainting crazy though? :D

Double wow to your threads. Aí Brazucas..

[StevenEgan]

Great update on Arnold. I really like the details, especially the wrinkles.

Pumpkin Head is looking more than great! I love the details.

I really like your sculpting. Very clean, yet gritty when it needs to be.

Beautiful work Alex!

[oliveira]

AET23-thank you!!

hakanpersson-thank you!!

Spin99-maybe i will texture it ,but not now,thanks!!

StevenEgan-thank you!

here's a small preview of the all chaaracters with Stan ,it's just a preview ,i need finish all characters to pose and place all in the same scene .

http://www.alexoliver.art.br/gallery/img/6/models_forum_2.jpg

[headfirst]

uh ... badass!
great great models oliveira.

I really cant say which one is my favourite. Maybe Arnold, Maybe Predator.
But i can say that they are all awesome.

-Ray

[southparx]

whoa..!

Arnold is definitely my fave :)

i wonder how many millions does this scene have with all of them together?

[fezz]

I've seen some epic threads on this forum, but this is right up there as the biggest CG-gasm I've seen to date.:applause:

The Arnold is my favorite as well; you totally nailed his expression!

[Antropus]

Ha! Great preview Alex. I can't wait to see it all done!
Coming along nicely man.

-Kris

[StevenEgan]

:cool: Nothing short of Epic Alex!

I also really like Arnold. You really did nail his expression.

I think your going to be hard pressed to texture them all in time though, but I have faith! :wip:

Great work!

Eagerly awaiting the final.

[Intervain]

:buttrock::bowdown::wip::drool::drool::drool::arteest::thumbsup: - just about sums it up ;)

StevenEgan-thank you!!!

here's a Stan bust update, this will be the center of the scene.

http://www.alexoliver.art.br/gallery/img/6/stan_likeness_19.jpg

[StevenEgan]

I love it! I really like the clay block presentation. Very nice. A great tribute to the master.

[Spin99]

It's a CG fest!
I think there's a lot of likeness in the Stan portrait too.
This one's epic.

Mas que louco

[forcystus]

This preview is looking fantastic, Great work Alex!!

Waiting the final scene

[southparx]

second that.. i love the presentation with the rake 'unfinished' look on the bottom part

shcweeet!

[fabiopaiva]

Great great Alex.
You just keep inspiring and teaching us every post you make.

[oliveira]

StevenEgan-thank you!!

http://www.alexoliver.art.br/gallery/img/6/stan_trex_30.jpg

[Antropus]

The head is looking great now Alex! Very nice details.

-Kris

[Locusta]

Very, very impressive details. I´m so amazed, how you get such fine lines in your mesh. Are these only alphas or zbrush-storkes or do you use bumbs in Zbrush too? I often have hard times in higher poly counts and decent details. But maybe it is just hardware related.

Anyway, great, great work again. And so much done right now. I bow down.

Cheers

Markus

[TimCallaway]

It's great, I like how the trex dosen't look friendly.

[StevenEgan]

Very impressive details Alex! How much of him are you planning on detailing? Only the parts that you can see in the final, or the whole thing? I mean before the deadline?

:applause:

[caiofantini]

Fantastic!:applause::applause:

[JDex]

Fantastic... really impressive work, and speed. It's really hard to find critique.

[bradjames]

Love the trex. The details are just great and the fact that you don't use alphas for them makes it that much nicer. Would love to see him in a nice pose after. Would be a great print out to have on your desk. Keep it up

[ChewyPixels]

Getting more and more impressive with each update! Nothing to crit as it's all very well done. I just hope that you can get all the models done in time. As I mentioned to Kris, this challenge is going to be a VERY difficult one to judge. Regardless of the outcome, you guys have some super impressive models to add to the portfolio!

Good luck with making the deadline! Go, go, go!! :bounce:

[oliveira]

Antropus-thank you Kris

TimCallaway-thank you!

StevenEgan- i intend still working on the models later , i intend finish all,thank you!

caiofantini-thank you my friend!!

JDex-thank you!

[WyattHarris]

I have to agree with Locusta. How do you get such fine details in your mesh? Like the wrinkles in his arm or the bumpy skin on his head. I had such a hard time getting down to that level. Looking great. :thumbsup:

[StevenEgan]

Gorgeous! I really like you sculpting style. And the way that you are able to capture reality in the most unlikely of creatures, or anything for that matter. I really admire the way are able to simulate the interaction between the forms, shapes, flesh, bone, and sinew of your characters. Like the way the skin stretches over the bone in a realistic manner. The bones mass is still present, but so are it's effects on the surrounding areas. If you know what I mean. Hard to describe, Just great art I guess.

Great work!

[oliveira]

WyattHarris-hi! thanks! well what i did was work with separated tools ,then i can up more than 7 leves for each subtool.

StevenEgan-thank you! To say the truth i need work more to improve my work , but what i do is try work 80% shapes ,flesh and bones first,
As Kris said ,one of the best examples is the Gio 's works
see the Gio 's stuff here .You will find a tutorial just looking to Gio's sculptures;

[cocopalm]

oliveira You R really doing a nice work Specially the T-Rex, PumpkinHead, Stan Sculpture, and of course ARNOLD these r superv superv model that you have made..
Well can you tell me the detasils you have made in pumpkinhead model how did you got that is there in alpha maps or manually slowly down... Plz clarify it....

I am also in this challenge after seeing my work can give some comments to me so that it will help me..

[Spin99]

Alex to me one of the most impressive entries I've seen on this challenge thing ever ;)
It looks like you finished but if no one else is going to say it I'll say it..

Would love to see a composition where the blobs of clay are not visible.
It would look like the biggest Cg sculpture ever?
Also if you ever polypaint them hope you show again later.

But hey still amazed by the Stan likeness and the incredible creatures in all their detail.
And the clay looks great, just would love to see the shot where it isn't visible and the T-Rex is in the picture :buttrock:

* * * * * * stars from me.

[Hecatomb]

I keep browsing forwards and backwards through this thread, and it just keeps giving me goosebumps all over.

I cannot express in words (or not in a foreign language anyway) how amazed I am by both the quality and quantity of the work you've put in this challenge.

[Sirhcnait]

Great job. Very inspiring :arteest:

[ChewyPixels]

They're all beautiful, Alex! Job well done! :applause:

Impressive Alex, you're rock dude.

I could to say that the likeness of Stan is the best, but I'm not sure about it, all characters are impressive.

Congratulations my friend!!

[southparx]

Mr Oliver,

congrats for finishing all the models... i love them alll especially the terminator ( the expression is alive ), the Stan likeness is spot on - in milisecond -

and the pumpkinhead skin, do you mind sharing how you did it.. it really feels the skin folds hang onto bones and gravity affecting it.. beautiful !

also the videos? will it still be 'released' ? here waiting impatiently.

best wishes,
andrew

[Deepam]

[bradjames]

great job alex. You are always the man that will stand out as the one that can handle a million models at once. Your skill level and speed has always impressed me. I look forward to watching all the models you make. Keep up the great work.

[ale3dfx]

Hello Alex congratulations for the beautiful works very successful.

Until more Alessandro.

[DDS]

Alex Congrats for the win! :thumbsup: Your Model Collection diorama just blew away...even though all the Competition was amazing.

As a side note, I think some better renders will help you sell your models better. Not a big deal though :)

Congratulations Alex, really great works here.
