[iC4]

very nice so far!

sexy elves are always good ;)

[Nicodemia]

Excellent, very stylised. I like it.

[Totyo]

hum... the nose is too small I think... or the lips too larges...

[spirogyro]

love the lips, very angelina Jolie looking

[goodlag]

very nice~~ i like lips :drool:

i love elf

Good luck on your work

my avarta ... great elf :D

Hey ! I'm not modeling Lara croft ! : ))
I need to improve the corner of the lips, it's wired...
Thanks all for your help ! : )

[Kozlov]

Hi,
Looks great and this is just the beginning:) Keep posting and good luck
Kamil :thumbsup: :beer:

[akocan]

Nice concept and modeling so far.
But I assume it's almost the same as your avatar? is it?

[Totyo]

my avatar ? no, it's an old model made in Amapi 6 and rendered in carrara.
If you take a look, the nose isn't the same as the eyes, the mooth, etc...
Sorry if it's my style ; )

[Ryu]

Heya totyo :)
Great start !!
Nice beginning, with always a so clear and neat wireframe...
Me waiting for mooooore !! me waiting for some insanous feature on the princess head ;)

cya soon, :beer:

:wavey:

[Totyo]

Little update before going to bed ; )
Added the ears, modified the nose, and some part of the head. Still the problems of the lips...

[dominicqwek]

sweet... i didnt really like elves until i saw yours! lol. :thumbsup: Anyway, the tip of the upper lip is protruding too much. forehead to top of skull is too short too. Other than that, you're doing great! :D

[Lordrych]

Dude looks fantastic I would work on the neck a little, looks alittle pinched to me, otherwise wonderful job, I wish my face on my elf was as good as yours.


Rych

[blakboks]

Hi,
Looking good :thumbsup:

I'd say that the neck looks a little masculine. I can't really say what it is exactly...need to compare it more with photos...

Good luck,
Chris

[Totyo]

Yes, the neck isn't enough thin, that's why it look masculine;. must improve that, you're right Blakboks !

Dom : well, some hairs on the top of the head and it will be ok ;)
(and more artifice on the head :p )

I have 3 hours of train this afternoon, I'll have enough time to work on that :D

[Totyo]

Hop ! Update ! : )

I added the body, finished the head.
About the head, I modified the lips, the nose and the ears. Now, I must finish the legs, modify the arms and hand (some proportions problems : ( and the foot.
I'm still waiting for your comments ; )

The head. I started an helmet and soe decoratios
http://www.totyo.com/3D/cgtalk/elfe_tete.jpg

The hand.
http://www.totyo.com/3D/cgtalk/elfe_main1.jpghttp://www.totyo.com/3D/cgtalk/elfe_main2.jpg
Front.
http://www.totyo.com/3D/cgtalk/elfe_face_wire.jpg

And the back.
http://www.totyo.com/3D/cgtalk/elfe_dos_wire.jpg

I can post smoothed versions of the body if someone want ; )

[Aearon]

awesome model and great mesh all over the place! :bounce:

the only triangles i see come from the mirroring ;)

[Ryu]

Yeees :)
very cool !!
especially like the body, i just find the head kind emotion less, too much static, no life...
But for sure we want smoothed version of the body :)
you should also post on cgchallenge by the way...
cya soon :wavey:

[Totyo]

Fist : hum.. well.. there is some triangles... they are hidden ! :rolleyes:

Ryu : About the head, there is no expressions.. I'll add them at the end of the modeling, with the final pose. It will be lifefull, you'll see ! : )

[Totyo]

Added the legs and foot. I think I may change them a little, they seems wired... but, with the clothes, I think it will be OK...
Comments are welcomes !

http://dspnet.fr.eu.org/~totyo/3D/cgtalk/elfe6.jpg

[Kel Solaar]

Hehe Totyo :)) Sympa, elle a ptet les bras un poil court, Bonne continuation en tout cas! Et pi j'aime bien sa tête aussi :)

[antnik]

Hey Totyo...Very clean model..and very good work :thumbsup:

[Totyo]

Kel solaar : yes, the arms are too shorts, I twist them and they are not at the good size. I'll correct it tomorrow !

Thank you Antnik ! but the hardest will be now ;) I'm woking on the clothes and it's what I don't like.. ^__^;, Adjusting clothes to the polygones, take care if they don't enter in each others, if the lowpoly is ok when you smooth them, pfiuu.... but I like it.. I must be masochist !:surprised

[deathbard]

Wow your entry is by far my favorite. This is just the kind of character that would sell a crappy game because it's hot!

[Totyo]

Hey hey ! don't say my futur game will be a crappy one ! :D
By the way, thank you for the comment :beer:

[naindo]

yes very good...
i think to works in nurbs to ...
for modelisate house and tower in architecture..

only one problem ... find the crazy man who buy it... lol

have a good day ..

[Totyo]

Update of the night ! As I said, I started to model the clothes.
I want to continue her as sexy as possible, as you can see !
First version without less clothes as possible :eek:

Sorry for the colors, it's the default one, I don't wan't to swap from Amapi to 3DSMax each 5 minutes :rolleyes:

http://dspnet.fr.eu.org/~totyo/3D/cgtalk/elfe_vetmenless.jpg

[Totyo]

Next part of the clothes, sorry, they are less sexy :p
This is a global view, the closeup will be soon online.

http://dspnet.fr.eu.org/~totyo/3D/cgtalk/elfe_global.jpg

[Nicodemia]

:eek:

Errrr.........(picks jaw up off floor)

I can only say HOT!!!

thats incredible.

[Totyo]

And now, the closeup ! If you want the wireframe, ask it !

I must change some little things and it will be ok and then, go fo the next part !

[Ryu]

Awesome !! I love it !!
the clothes are soooo good !! love them really...
And amapi seams to handle quite well the model no?
I only got two regrets, concerning the face (i don t know, something is weird i find...) and the muscle of the pectoralis group which make some strange thing, when it must come to the deltoid... I can bring online some pictures if you want...

But i love it !! :love:
want mooore :)
:wavey:

[Totyo]

Yes.. The openGL run smoothly as the 3DSMax one... but the lightning isn't the same quality, more light, a cool specular and a good transparency (which Max haven't)

No no, it's Ok for the pictures, I have all I want ; ) But I know it's not a perfect model, but I'm not looking for the perfect model, I'm looking for the pleasure ! : ))

And thank you for your comments ; )

[Hexodam]

looks fantastic, and thanks oh so much for the wires :D

one crit though, about the cloth below the boobs, should it hang down instead of grabbing them like a 14 year old at second base :P

[Totyo]

hehe, lol ! She's fighting against gravity ! : ) And, as you may know, Elfes are immortals and then, have ouuuuch ! nice boobs ; )
But the clothes aren't finished, I have to change some things ; )

[Totyo]

I began one of her weapon. As you can see, this is a splitable one with a part in each hand ! ; )

Join version
http://dspnet.fr.eu.org/~totyo/3D/cgtalk/arme1.jpg

Split version
http://dspnet.fr.eu.org/~totyo/3D/cgtalk/arme2.jpg

[Totyo]

I'll post the wire and details of the weapon next and add some little modifications. 120 000 polys with the smoothing...

[Joebount]

Nice cloth ! The modelling is subtle. I'm not really sure for the weapon's handle, don't look that much ergonomic. :)

[stenarts]

Wow, what a elf...really love her...very promising look!
Like the clothes as well its a interesting style you use for.

Great ;-)

[Totyo]

Joebount : Oh yes, it will be easy to handle ; ) hum.. yes, you're not wrong.. but I was looking for the design.. I'm wrong, I'm sorry... : )

The wires :

Looking pretty good.Lot's done already.Nice cloth.Weapons pretty cool too.:thumbsup:

[leekhangwei]

sexy lil baby...everypart of her looks sexy man...good job man...

[BinarySoup]

excellent work! nice concept and masterful execution, and as others have already said, very clean mesh.

I saw you mentioned you used Amapi for modeling, I really like their virtual mirror implemetation with smoothed on one side and cage on other, very smart. Anyway, I was wondering if you have any lightwave experience and if so could comment on workflow differences between amapi and lightwave (my current modeler of choice), especially things that you feel are better with amapi (that virtual mirror no doubt), anyway, whatever amapi sales pitch you can throw at me would be greatly appreciated, as I'm deciding on wheter I should download the demo and do an extensive tryout of the features or not (I have so little time).

oh! and don't forget to keep up the excellent work!

[Totyo]

It's not a virtual mirror as the Max or Maya one, but a referenced mirror copy with a smooth on it. I don't really like the virtual mirrors :)

I cannot tell you about Lightwave, I don't like the interface... but it's a great software and a lot of Amapi user model in Amapi and then, use LW for the rendering without problems.

I should download the demo and do an extensive tryout of the features or not (I have so little time).
Hehe, it's strange to use the first time, but when you taste it, you cannot use another modeler :)

[Totyo]

BinarySoup : I forgot : you can check a video I made about "how to make a body in 4 hours with the clothes" with Amapi 7 (when it was a beta...), with a speed wrap of 2000% (the video is about 11 minutes).
http://www.amapi.net/video/Amapi_7_4hours_high_divx.zip

[Dr.Jones]

Very nice! Very sexy clothes, I think you understood video game marketing!

[BinarySoup]

ahh, thanks a lot, I just watched it, it gave a very good view of the workflow, the clone copy (or whatever it's called) was just amazingly smart, also, I was very impressed with the seemingly ease at which you split polygons (reminds me of wings3d), and not least, the fact that you could switch modes on the clone constantly, during the modeling session I saw the mirror clone instance as cage, smoothed wireframe, smoothed wireframe with editable cage, resulting in a very flexible modeling environment.
in comparison with lightwave, not having to press tab to go between low poly/smoothed subdiv but instead seeing a smoothed copy on screen at all time must be a real time saver, also, on lightwave it's very hard to do the actual modeling in the perspective window, here you create the entire model in the perspective window, which is a so much more intuitive way to work (again reminding me of wings). great thanks for your help, and that video was a real eye-opener (althogh a bit too fast for my slow mind :) ), now I'm off to download that demo!

and don't forget to work on that great elf of yours!! :D

[Totyo]

If it can make you fall in love with Amapi, you're welcome. It's a great modeler... but still stay a modeler (no render, animation, etc...)
No work on the elfe today... update tomorrow ; )

[Totyo]

Small update, I didn't have much time this week end to continue my Elf... I added some clothes, and modify some vertex on some parts of the body. I think I'll have more time tomorrow while my students will work ; )
The clothes are nearly finished (some 'things' to add to the hands and the shoes ), I'll begin the mapping then, and the lightning. Ntice the Amapi realtime rendering ; )

I'm still waiting for comments or some ideas !

[Gamoron]

WoW!:eek: Hubba hubba. Beautiful model, I love her contours and the details in her clothing.

[Ryu]

I love it, i just applause :applause:
Can't wait to see mega-prout-textures and render :D
cya :wavey:

[CGSisdead]

great model ;)

go on :beer:

[Totyo]

After a looong stop (too much work....) I'm back with my elf. I added the hairs (I hope you'll enjoy) some stuff to the clothes, modified the eyes they are two perfect sphere now and a kind of support for the weapon.
The modeling is done, only 2-3 little things to add to the ears and fingers ;)

I'll start the mapping and skinning soon and if I have more time, I'll make her have fighting against a monster or something like that...

The hairs :
http://dspnet.fr.eu.org/~totyo/3D/cgtalk/elfehairs.jpg

the full body in Max :
http://dspnet.fr.eu.org/~totyo/3D/cgtalk/elfefull1.jpg

A rendering with a smoothing when brazil will be done (a fast on, no lightning, etc....)

[Totyo]

The first render : the head is very strange like that.. especially the eyes o__O
http://dspnet.fr.eu.org/~totyo/3D/cgtalk/elfe_render.jpg

[erik2003]

O_o

Wow, this is gonna be somethin'!

Nice weapon!

E.

[Totyo]

And the back.
Nothing more to say that a skylight without a real mapping and lightning, it sucks...
Don't take care of the colors, it was a fast "coloring" in Max. And a last point, the smoothing of Amapi seems to be better than the Max one (I thought it was the same, it doesn't look like...)
http://dspnet.fr.eu.org/~totyo/3D/cgtalk/elfe_render2.jpg
A snapshot of the head. (brrr... i prefere the wireframe version ;)
http://dspnet.fr.eu.org/~totyo/3D/cgtalk/face.jpg

[Lordrych]

Love it very much, Wesome can't wait to see it textured!

Rych

[antnik]

Hey Toyo... Very good work :thumbsup: BRAVO :applause: go on :bounce:

[Totyo]

A little test withe the Pose. The skinning isn't finish as you may see, some parts arn't really good.
Don't take care of the materials, they are here for the UVW unwrapp ;)
http://dspnet.fr.eu.org/~totyo/3D/cgtalk/elfe_pose1.jpg

[Ryu]

Beginning to be a great pic :)
I m sure you'll handle the skinning process in no time,
i'm just too damn impatient about the textures...

love ya :love:
cya sooooon :wavey:

[Totyo]

sorry, I have some problems with my domain name... some pictures of my thread appears broken, I hope it will be OK tomorrow...
I edited some to change the url (with my ISP adress and not my domain name..) but when I cahnge some, I have an error from CGTalk (too much pictures on the message... huh, I posed them without problems...)

[Totyo]

After a loooong pause because of my job, I'm back to my Elf. Not a lot of updates, I'm starting my mapping, my UV's are now ready (oh my god, I hate the uv's !)
If you are any ideas for the clothes, I'm looking for decorations ! I'll add some tatoos on here face or something like that. Don't take care of the mapping of the face, there is only colors.

About the clothes, I added "I don't know the name" (compare with the last post, I'm lookong for the name : )

Comments and ideas are welcome !

A snapshot of her hairs :
http://www.totyo.com/3D/cgtalk/cheveux.jpg

A snapshot of the same pose, but with the modifications and nicer colors ; )
http://www.totyo.com/3D/cgtalk/elfemap1.jpg

[dominicqwek]

Just thought i'll come in to give a lil support. I really like the pose, looks like you're almost done with rigging. Do work on the hair, give it a lil bump and spec, the edge of the hair could do with more gradient. Deadline's cominig dude. Press on! :beer:

[Erik]

I really like the model and particulary the pose, well, good job... i ve just notice a little anatomy problem on the left foot...
but in all the case it's a good job...
can i have the adress of your model ??? could we see her on paris ;)

[DimitrisLiatsos]

:thumbsup: Very dynamic work..and i really like the pose....extraordinare characer..i thing if u put your energy in polishing details here and there by texturing and lights u have a very beautiful piece...:wavey:

[Totyo]

Tes, the airs are crappy, but they aren't finish... and I don't know if I work a lot on them, because they are not really visible on the final pose.. If I have enough time, I'll work a little more on it ! As you said, the deadline is coming !!

Originally posted by Erik

Well.. she have shoes which are not visible on this last picture, but will be in the next one (they were on my laptop when I posted the picture..)

can i have the adress of your model ??? could we see her on paris ;)
hehe, ask my girlfriend : ) (Tu es ou en normandie ? je suis de Caen :)

It's my problem... I'm not really good on texturing and lightning... doing this challenge is a very good way to progress !

Thank you all for your support !! But the challenge isn't finish !! I have to win (kof kof !!)

[Craneb]

Pretty nice model,but the feet,toes and ankles are killing her.The textures too can use some real depth from where they are now.But still looks to have potential.:thumbsup:

[Totyo]

The small update with the shoes. I added some protections on the hands, but they are not really visible here. I started the mapping of the clothes and make her hairs longer (and my god, I had to make again the UVW, thank you 3DSMax : (
http://www.totyo.com/3D/cgtalk/elfemap2.jpg
I added the wire ; )
http://www.totyo.com/3D/cgtalk/elfemap2w.jpg

[BladeFX]

Great work :thumbsup:
I realy like the pose and clothing design.

Have you tried to make the vale white?
(I think it's called this way, the transparent tissue)

I think it would make you character come out some more.

Anyway, realy nice, clean modelling :beer:

[Aearon]

nothing to say but.. awesome model. it's starting to look finished :D

[antnik]

Hey Totyo....where can i find her? :rolleyes: Great work...i like it a lot!!! :thumbsup: :beer:

[Totyo]

BladeFX : good idea, it was better than the red (too much red !)
Fist : oh no, too much work left.. and only 3 days left !! :banghead:
Antnik : well.. hum... *kof kof* In my bed :drool:

Update before going to bed (2:45 am). Please, don't take care of the background and the lightning !
Why the mapping is so hard to do !
http://www.totyo.com/3D/cgtalk/elfemap4.jpg

[Totyo]

The update of the night ; )

I'm starting my composition, with the lightning, background, etc...
I'm still have a lot of work to do, I will never finish ! I want more time ! (Damn work !)
I'm still waiting for your comments : )
http://www.totyo.com/3D/cgtalk/elfemap7.jpg

[Totyo]

For the fun, the 3DSMax Snapshot :)
70 lights, 47 shadow maps ;)
http://www.totyo.com/3D/cgtalk/elfemap7w.jpg

[DimitrisLiatsos]

Hi Totyo ...u have made a lot of work and now as an old Maxer, if i may, i can tell u one thing or two to refine (..in my humble opinion of course)...so.

1 _ the signs on the ground..u can't read them 'cuase your glow on the material ID of the letters is very high.. i think u have to adjust it to glow but also to be readable...

2 _ the pants...they were transparent...please make them again transparent , they were to good :drool: ...make them again ..even if u have to make a raytrace render...please

3_ i don't know exactly how it will look but put another light directly behind the character and in the same line with your camera...to make the character figure stand out more...


That's it...i hope i helped...One of my favourites entries by the way.....have fun! ...always!

[Aelius]

:drool: This looks class, man! I'd buy this game, definitely!!

I can't really crit it, since I'm not qualified - not enough hours spend with 3D. But I know what I likes, and I likes what I sees.

[Totyo]

Hello DimitrisLiatsos ;)

Thank you for your help ! About the transparency, I can make it back, of course.. but I don't know if I have a lot of time now (noooot tonight, pleeeease !!!) because I'm not at home, on my laptop and my 512 Mb of ram are not enough ^^;,

About the signs, yes, the glow is to high (it's only a map, no postproduction), but nothing to read, it's only abstract signs made with Painter !

For the light on the back of the caracter, I have one, but it's hard to find a good value because of the lights of the signs... I may try something else...

Thank yo for your support, as you Aelius :)

[Totyo]

DimitrisLiatsos : more like that for the pants ? All the pants in transparency, it look likes really strange, that's why I chose this kind of texture. I hope, you will enjoy ;)
http://www.totyo.com/3D/cgtalk/elfemapfutal.jpg

[Pgraphics]

Great character. I like the trans pants in the last render. Very cool.

[Scottosh]

She turned out pretty cool,a little plastic looking,but still a cool game character when said and done.Pretty cool pose,nice looking,just wish the texture work was more indepth.Good job still.:thumbsup:

[DimitrisLiatsos]

Totyo :beer: :beer: ..man this is wonderfull
Your work can only be characterized MYTHICAL AND EROTIC..at least by me!!!....congrats!!!


P.S ..heyyy..update your pic on the CGChallenge site with this man!!!!

[Totyo]

Thanks Scottosh, Pgraphics and DimitrisLiatsos ; )

This will be my final picture, I may not change something else before the end of the challenge.. because I won't have any time... : ( I only my post other renders or something like that but after the end... damn...

Thank you all fo your comments ! It was my first challenge, I think I will do the next one and more and more ; )

DimitrisLiatsos : yes, I will update on cgchallenge !
http://www.totyo.com/3D/cgtalk/elfe_finale.jpg

[Ionized]

this looks awesome totyo! A real shame that I missed this thread. Oh well, better late than never.

You sure have got a lot of lights in this scene!!! The result is very good though, so you can't complain! The transparent pants just look fantastic. Well done!:buttrock:

[akocan]

yo totyo! ;)

I never wrote to this thread I don't know why but you really did an amazing work. The final result is just great and the elvish lookin' lady is awesome..

By the way, please change your avatar, it's so scary. ;(

Cheers:beer:

[Pgraphics]

Great job man. It has style and good modeling. For a first time challenge entry I would say you kicked some a$$. :beer:

[Totyo]

Thanks for your comments ;)
Akocan : what waht ? my avatar is scary :surprised hehe, I'll change it :rolleyes:

I update my picture, but only on CGchallenge, I juste add a title.. perhaps it wasn't a good idea.. You can take a look if you want !

[Totyo]

Am I crazy or there is a new deadline for the challenge ? I saw wednesday on cgchallenge.com.. I don't understand.. If I had know... but, well.. 4 more days ;)
