[Onsloh]

Just spiffy.It's about time you gave me that update.That lilttle rascal looks absoulutly stunning.Great work mates,can't wait to see him textured,and give me a peek at the vessel you been mentioning.Cheers,once again,great work.:love: :beer:

[Gregwid]

Once again fabulous. You guys never cease to amaze me. Wonderful work,it's all so unique and full of zest & grace. Great,great job.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[antnik]

MY GOD :eek: Detail and atmosphere... Excellent Combination... You guys are amazing..:applause: :applause:

[DimitrisLiatsos]

:beer: YOU are nuts ...NUTS ..i say!!! so detailed...GOD ...nuts...nuts...( he is walking away in the myst)!!!

[Dancing Monkey]

Personally, I think the legs are too short for the length of the arms... Unless he's supposed to be monkeyish.

[Fetus23]

Hello virtuoso and fist!! Looks like you guys are doing a really great job in here...Lots of style, details, and what seems to be an enormous vision. Fantastic stuff thus far. :thumbsup: Now I'll make some suggestions... Not sure how far you're going to take the texture work on frumpys head but at the moment it seems a little too uniform...one texture for too many objects. Would be cool to see some different metals in there. Also all of the head details seem a little too perfect and aligned. Maybe bend a few or slightly twist some peices for a more beat up "I've killed a thousand aliens" kinda look :). His body and boots are coming along great...I do think some more details added to his chest and dress would balance him out. I also liked fellahs suggestion for the boots but thats more of a style thing. The ship is looking great not much to crit there at the moment.....I'll have to see how it all fits together...The walking gun is very nicley done and probably my favorite part so far...I just love the intricate details on it!! I can't wait to see this finished!! You guys are doing top notch work in here....keep it up and keep posting updates!!

[Vladvrz]

Details,total originality,supberb modeling,textures from above,great storyline/gameplay concepts.Man it's all perfectly executed.Very impressive.Keep this up.it's all fantastic.Very will done.:applause: :applause: :applause:

[pigwater]

i see things in your lab under the sand have been humming with a creative buzz...

i actually had a free minute and swung by the challenge forums only to find this jewell of poetic polys....your work always inspires

will be wonderful to see fully textured and posed...may the crabs stay out of your shorts and earthquakes be minor:thumbsup:

[Scottosh]

Wheweee,bitchin design,modeling and texturing,man the details are amazing.Great job.Can't wait to see the rest.:applause: :beer:

[Virtuoso]

Janhath,Franky,Onsloh,gregwid............Big thanks,you keep us pumped.Really nice compliments,thanks very much.

DimitrisLiatsos & AntNik: My two fav Greek Gods,and wonderful artists,it means alot to get praise from you two talents.Thanks for the support,it means very much to us.:beer:

Dancing Monkey:...Yes the design was done with this intent,a caricature,a Realistic toon.Thanks for coming by.

Fetus23:....Thanks for the very nice compliments.As for your questions:The head texture is done in a very Non-uniform manner,handstakeingly painted in Photoshop,blemishes,wrinkles,moles,etc,etc... done in many layers,we in fact have given a lot of thought on keeping it non-uniform.We will go a little extra still to create even more havoc.
As for the Eye/head gear textures: There are almost an endless amount of modeled pieces in there,intricate is the word here,sunken screws a real ton of seperate pieces individually modeled.
In fact all the pieces you see "Have" been seperately textured,we should know,it seemed endless while doing the texturing. We made it imperative to keep things different,individual.Sure some pieces are the same parts,scaled etc,etc...they rust pretty much the same.But we did give this a whole lot of individual texturing.
We did not want to give too,too many different blends in the texturing,due to the fact that they would become too glaring in there appearance.We wanted to keep the texturing to have the same overall blend with there colors,but at the same time give them all still a unique difference.But oh yes they are all many seperate textures,tons of individual textures.
Also the body textures will give him quite the extra detailed look,I don't want to go overboard,I still want to keep it stylistic,smooth in enough places,I like that kind of balance.
Thanks for your help and very nice compliments as well,it's always great to have you around.:beer:

Vladvrz,Scottosh: Big thanks,too,too kind,look for some heavy duty modeling real soon.

Pigwater:....Much too long no see.It's very nice to hear from you once again.Don't be such a stranger,Pm me sometime,enter another challenge soon too.
Your words in your post are like a great poet,really,not only very flattering,but very well put,and funny.And yes "LOL" I always try to keep them crabs out of my shorts,the earthquakes I can do nothing about. Thanks very much for coming by.

:beer:

Ok,we will be back later tonite with more advances in our creations.I plan on showing a small portion or item WIP of the Steed of Steel,also texturing on the Frumpy body is going well,we;ll show it this week too.Expect Fist to return as well with updates in a couple days.

Thanks again for the wonderful feedback and very generous compliments,they are very much appreaciated.

[Joebount]

Looks cool so far, lovely details, but I find the whole just a bit to rigid so far. Keep the updates comming guys ! :thumbsup:

[Katss]

Simply put: Amazing,with a cherry on top.The style and feel are second to none.Love it all.More please.:love: :love:

[Virtuoso]

Joe Bount: Thanks very much.Glad you like the details.Don't be concerned with the rather stiff pose however,I just gave the lil' guy a very basic rig.A full on full blown rig is coming,he'll be flexible soon enough.Thanks again.

Katss:...You are too kind,but still it makes it ll the better for us to work even harder.Thanks.

........................................................................................

I thought it would be a good idea to gather a few of the WIP's we posted earlier in one place.Just so it would make it easier to see things at once a little more easily,at least until it's all put together in the end. Plus it will be a much easier task than scrolling through tons of pages.

[Magnusv]

:applause: .Just nothing more to say really,absolutely brilliant flare and overall presentation,top quality art from every which way.Looking brilliant,I love your whole thought and design process as well.Keep em' coming,very mucha wonderful effort here.:thumbsup: :beer:

[Steveyola]

Looking great.I love the attention to detail,but it's also the clean work and the no-short-cut attitude that brings it up to the high level it's in. But most of all it's the extra polish and imagination I love the most.You just cannot teach that,you have to have it inside.Looking forward to more.

Very cool.
:cool: :beer:

[Virtuoso]

Magnus & Steveyola: very much appreaciated.Comments like that are too too kind,but they certanly are nice to hear none the less.Thanks very much.

Well time for bed,another 4:00AM CG night.I'll post updates on a couple fun things tomorrow.Or really later today.:p

Thanks all for the continued support,the transport of Frumpy Jowls and his body textures are coming along well.See you with an up-date tomorrow.Thanks again.

:beer: :beer:

[Franky]

As I have said before really brilliant work,in every facet of modeling,texturing.But best for me is the thought,the ideas.
I have a question: You mentioned Frump has a craft,Is this the one shown earlier?And will there be a post of something soon.I am anxious.;)
Again looking forward to whatever it is you are up to next.:beer: :thumbsup:

[swag]

fantastic detail here - looking forward to see more stuff

[skygunner]

I think saying this is detailed is an understatement. It looks cool, but it looks a tad bit overdesigned, but that's just me. Keep it coming. :scream:

[Konic]

Well as I have said before it's breathtaking,from any which way you want to look at it.The vision here is spectacular.
I was also wondering about the other vessel, there is another one if I recall? other than the one already shown?
Ok I hope to see something new soon.:thumbsup: :)

[Virtuoso]

Thank's again for the wonderful comments,it's very nice to hear,you are really helping in the drive to get us to the finish line.:beer:

Yes there is another transport coming other than the one shown by "fist" earlier.It is Frumpy Jowls Transport The Steed of Steel.

I have actually finished the modeling of this quite ambitious transport.However it's like a jig-saw puzzle at the moment.Many,many intricate pieces.However I have just commenced on puting these pieces together.I will show the transport coming together in WIP form in the next days.It should be finished by Monday,so expect many up-dates.Texturing will then also be finished with Frumpy Jowls body and then we can commence on the Transports texture work.

At that time too I will start in on a environment with mysterious fortress.

It's coming along as planned to this point.We will do our best.Expect a up-date in a few hours....About bedtime 4:Am ,the usaul CG late night hours.;)

Thanks again all.....................See you very soon.



:beer:

[pigwater]

Virtuoso - well it looks like i just missed you , here in the wee hours

poetry , ...well, ... i couldn't come up with anything for Erilaz's limmerick thread .... i couldn't get "there once was a man named Dave..." out of my head for two weeks :banghead:

yah got me tempted here with this challenge invitation, ....i don't dare enter 3d with the enchanting work you all are putting out ... (& then there's that Sten gang ) ...so i'll enter the 2d

I got a couple of things i have to finish by Mon:wip: ....so i guess that gives me a couple of days to throw an idea or two together

looking forward to seein the Steed of Steel ... i know i will be amazed:)

[Kenter]

Steel of Steed,Steel of Steed,bring it on.:buttrock: :buttrock:
Oh yah and any other info on that fortress you mentioned,man how you going to get that done too.And with some texture work too?
Ok Steel of Steed,bring it on man.:buttrock:

[antnik]

:beer: If i could try to catch you on the details i would need months..
Brilliant work as always.. :applause: i am a detail man too... and i like it. Go on man. :applause:

[MikaelPersson]

Hello again Virtuoso (and brother), fist.
Nice work lads, I can't keep up with you really. But I got a spare moment inbetween animations right now.
First fist really like that ship. The clash between old and new is so nice. Have you tried an uglier join between the gadget and the ship, with screws and a even more homemade feel to the attaching part?
The mechanics in all the parts is so nice, I like the fact that it actually works. Wich brings me onto the subject of that cockpit, wich is nice. But in my eyes lacks one thing, a footrest. Right now he needs to be strapped quite hard to that chair(?) to be able to take full advantage of it. I think a small footrest would make it even more beliavable.
Second Virtuoso. The sheer amount of detail in your work is overwhelming. Wich brings me to the subject of texturing, to not loose all your work spent on modelling by having a texture that is to varied. Right now the textures for frumpy's headgear looks a bit to spotty, how about making them almost non textured but vary the colour more. Have the actual headgear/strap that attaches to his head white (or something) and the small gadgets sticking out alternating between black and some brighter colour.
That would help distinguish the different parts much more, I think they are lost in that uniform colour of your texturing. And as SEL (was it?) said, I think that background does distract the viewer a bit to much.
I really like frumpy's hands, his body and arms I am a bit unsure of. I'll wait until a more detail model arrives before giving any serious critique.
Maybe you should add a emergency detach button or something for that walking shooter, could potentially be very dangerous to be that attached to it. I should add that that walking shooter is very nice, the look/feel everything of it.

I think you've had enough superlatives on these pages, so I'll stop here. Good work!

cheers.

[BladeFX]

Virtuoso, You've promissed the steed of steel for almost 2 weeks now.
it's about time we see a glimpse of it :D

Fist: How about an update? It's been a while don't you think? :p

[Virtuoso]

Pigwater:.....Thanks again.I'll be looking for you in the 2D section.Should be fun and interesting to see what you cook up.Stay cool,see you soon.:beer:

Kenter & AntNik:Big thanks.And yes AntNik you are certanly a detail man yourself,your work inspires me everytime I see it.:beer:

Mikael P.: Thanks very much for the compliments.Also your crits are always appreaciated and looked into,without doubt great to have your extra pair of eyes at anytime.There is more to come,with time limits as I know you know this very well I'll try and get all to a more perfect level.More to come on all you have seen,and also some new fun creations.

Thanks a ton for taking the time to help.warthog is lucky to have you,as I have said before,thanks again.:beer:

Blade FX: It's coming,and it's coming fast and hard.It's been in production for sometime now.But just pieces,bits and pieces,a real jig-saw puzzle.But I have ben putting these pieces together.I should finish Frumpy's transport this Monday.But will show about 4-5 up-dates till then.Promise.

Ok thanks again all,it's all very much appreaciated.

Up-date coming up in a few minutes.Thanks again.

[RobertoOrtiz]

Virtuoso, your speed scares me.

Good Job.
I am confident you are going to win this one.

-R

[Virtuoso]

Here is the 'STEED OF STEEL".................Frumpy Jowl's Trusty transport.

I believe that besides the look and extras you can give a character an added gadget,transport,side-kick are essentail to creating a memorable games ICON.

For example Batman had the bat-mobile,and well I thought that Lil' Frumpy Jowls too should get a fun toy.

There are what seems to be endless pieces to this Steed of Steel.It's like the Worlds largest Jig-saw puzzle actually.I have created the pieces,I now am putting them together.It will be for about 5 more days,I'll try and up-date it's growth each day.

It's quite large,a zany,contraption really.No shortcuts on the details,where would the fun be with that.

:p


The part you see below is an "EXTRA COCKPIT".It moves in and out of the actual Transport itself.The main cockpit is situated inside the Steel Steed itself.

This part is actually a small piece of the transport,an added gadget/toy.It can rotate and move along a monorail track.The whole contraption can move in and out of the actual transport. It looks much more effective when seen with the transport,it is more visually impressive too when you see it hang high above the lands below.

So the first part of the "Steed of Steel".......Much more is done already,I will piece it together and get a few up-dates in the coming days.Architecture of unusual design etc,etc...

remember it's a WIP,so some added work is yet to come.Also stay tooned for more of the foundation of the actual transport itself.Thanks for hearing me out,and for all the support.

[BladeFX]

Marvelous :beer:
I like it very much. Worth waiting for. :thumbsup:

Isn't that seat too small?
I think it's too small for a human to fit, if you'd compare it with the handles and height sear <-> handles.
+ Shouldn't there be pedals of some sort. At lease someting to place the feet on.

[Virtuoso]

Another look.........I will show this within the tranpsort as well soon.Look for that too.Thanks.:beer:


http://www.virtuosobrothersstudios.com/frumpytransportcockpit6.jpg


back with the actual transport tonite,you know,those 3 -4 AM:00 CG only nights.

[Redf]

Holy mother of !*#. Freakin awesome.This is just a part of the damn thing,Whew weeee,really creative,man can't wait for the whole thing.Great stuff.:applause: :applause:

[akocan]

[MelC]

Eceptional work here,some of the best anywhere.Substance + style equals really high grade work.What's the actual craft lok like for crying out loud? Man this has got it all,details are making me dizzy,keep em coming ,it's great.:applause: :applause:

[janhath]

I'll just repeat myself and everyone else,

:love: :drool:

I cannot wait to see the rest, it's all just great work that matches total new and original outlooks.I would really like to see also what you have and will do beyond this challenge.


:beer:

[Kozlov]

Yeah crazy and precize!!
Nothing to crit on that one, work well done thumbs up ladies and the gentelmen and hats off :thumbsup:
Take care Kamil

[Gregwid]

Crazy cool contraption man.Just everything in this thrtead spells original with a capital "O".It's all real entertaining.I hope you can get more in ,I am interested to see how that part will work within the craft itself,and also to see the rest along with it.
Really excellent work and style man,really great stuff.:applause: :applause:

[Martypt]

It is all just very great to see.I love every piece of it.The extra ideas,so original,the work too is all done fast and with real crisp work. This last update is looking very promising,I can only wonder what this machine will go into? Hope to see more soon.
You got real skills.:applause: :thumbsup:

[Virtuoso]

Well thank's very much for all those very nice compliments.What can one say but thanks,and that it's very much appreaciated.,and gives you all the more will to give it all you have.:beer:

It's very late to get some more images/update up-loaded now.I'll be quite busy tomorrrow as well,but all the puzzle pieces that make up the Steed of Steel are coming together very well for the moment.Also the texture work for Frumpy Jowls & the statues for the scene are about complete.

Will get an up-date on the Transport Steed of Steel tomorrow.

Again thanks very much for your support, it makes it all the more worthwhile.

:beer: :beer:

[Johnlittle]

Whew,I thought the head with gear and textures were something and then this whole body with extra toys and now this vessel part are again astonishing.Simply put, :drool:
Hope you get that next update up,it's really got me wondering just what the rest will be like.Really excellent progress and overall work guy.
:thumbsup: :applause:

[Erik]

That always very nice virtusoso, i like this engine a lot, personly i just found that the glasse protection is to (how can i say...) to heavy, if you see what i meen... compare to the rest of the engine.
good job.:beer:

[Vladvrz]

And yet another great idea,I like that tricky toy device for controls.It is all original,fresh,I love it.I like to see too the whole vehicle. Hope to see more soon.Really excellent feel and look to your work man,and also very well done,clean.Keep up men.:thumbsup: :applause:

[Colin de bink]

you are just unbelevable you just keep going and going. It is fantastic

I hope you get all the peaces of the puzzle togetter before the dead line :p

[Magnusv]

Love that new contraption,can't wait to see it with the whole vessel.It's all looking grand,top notch in every which way.To see all of it together will be a real treat.By the way? What about a website? Hope you get it up and running soon.
Great attention to detail with real style my man.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Scottosh]

Just brilliant once again,I sure hope to see the rest of that craft that goes with that thing-a-ma-jig.Really cool concept.Man you guys rock.Keep it rolling.Very cool work.:applause: :applause:

[Martypt]

hey man where my up-date? Common now,I must have more.You are killing me with no update.Ok,I'll be back,but better have a update OK?

:thumbsup: :beer:

[RobertoOrtiz]

Virtuoso you scare me.

How can you be soo fast?

Great work, And I will say it again, you will win this sucker.

-R

[Steveyola]

As I have said before,Phenomenal.From every part of the work.modeling,texture,ideas,feel.But it's too long since you posted last.
My main question is you mentioned a fortress at the beginning,is it still in?It would be great to see.Agin,very nice,hope more is coming.:thumbsup: :beer:

[Gregwid]

Hey how long do we have to wait for an update man.I just love what you got,I wants more I teel ye.
:buttrock: :buttrock:

[Virtuoso]

Well it's been a while since the last update.But all is well,we have continued working quite hard.It's all coming along well enough we like to believe,at least.

First a big thanks to all that have replied with such kind words and tips to help us out with our creations,it's always very much appreacited and very helpful in our creative process.
:beer:

A quick breifing, we will have the "Steed of Steel" Frumpy Jowls transport complete by late Wednesday.Textures will follow in the following week.

The textures on Frumpy himself and his walking gadget/weapon will also be complete by Wednesday,a good day that day will be.

Also the statues Jack Squat & his faithful sidekick Checkmate texture work is complete,remember they are very detailed but still will be just "Props" in our scene.

I will show a WIP of the transport tomorrow,and then a finished (un-textured) version on Wednesday. It's a ton of pieces,a jig-saw puzzle really,but the pieces are starting to fit now.An up-date and first look at the transport is coming tomorrow.

After this a week will be spent on the "Fortress" and environment,modeling and texturing.That should give us a couple days to spare.:p

Fist...............Will be showcasing more of his Fugitive and his transport too in the coming days,so stay-tuned.

OK again thanks for the great help and even kinder words,we will see you tomorrow.

:beer:

[asela]

i hate you guys:annoyed:

just kidding, i love you guys.:D




... oh man, do i have to work harder now.




keep it up this stuff is brilliant.

asela

[Virtuoso]

Thanks asela,that's very nice of you to stop by.Thanks for taking the time.Ok like I said we will be back tomorrow.It's bed-time.another 4:AM night,You got to love CG.See you for now.

:beer: :beer:

[Johnlittle]

I am glad to hear the work is going well.If you recall the PM I sent you, I have tried another on that website idea I have for your private work that you want to showcase this Fall,but the PM's don't go through.Anyways get back to me and give me your E-mail.Thanks.
And as I as many others have said your work is brilliiant and done with flare second to none.:thumbsup: :beer:

[rayz]

crazy details --- :eek: ---

FIST --- that is one amazing ship i really like the rig.

VIRTUOSO BROS --- man how long do you guys spend time modeling on your computer.

good work :beer:

[Shawns]

Now this is some serious off the charts work dudes.quite brilliant actually,top shelf stuff in every regard.:thumbsup: :applause:

[Aearon]

Hey guys, believe it or not: I'm back from my week of partying.. the end of school has to be celebrated you know.

Although Virtuoso let the updates pour in a little slower while i was gone it's unbelievable what happened in here. Great work Virtuoso! :eek:

I'm also back with an update. It's the fugitives head this time. I spent some quality time on it and consider the modling finished now. on to the lower body...

the image...
http://www.k-dump.net/files/wip/gameicon/alien09_turnShot.jpg

..and i also decided to render a turnaround, pretty helpful if you ask me. if you feel like it, take a close look and crit anything you want. But.. proportions and look are intended. he's not a human!

alien09_turnAround.avi (divx4, 1mb) (http://www.k-dump.net/files/wip/gameicon/alien09_turnAround.avi)

Virtuoso will show the completed transport over the coming days, stay tuned and keep pushing us :beer:

[Redf]

Hey that turn around is a big step up from that still.Did you have the camera move around the character?I think so,because of the light.Cool,just maybe give him more of an upper lip.
By the way is it two vessels,4 characters and all this in one scene?And how the Hell will you guys have time to do an environment with structure too?
Well it all is fabulous,I hope you can get it all in one scene.Really well done throughout.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Aearon]

hehe well the still is just an open gl screenshot so... of course the rendered turnaround looks better :)

I kinda like the upper lip the way it is, but maybe i'll try something else later.

And yes... it is 2 vessels, the fugitive, frumpy and his mechanical companions, the statues, the fortress and environment.

Everything's going pretty well and i think we'll make it within the deadline :thumbsup:

btw, i've almost finished the fugitives body now, i'll show something off in a few hours

[Wilson-3d]

Hi guys. Fist my favorite part is the antenna looking objects coming from the back of the head. Good job.
Edit: Perhaps tentacle is a better word.

[Aearon]

hehe thanks wilson, i like that too ;)

ok here's the body.. it's not at all finished, but i have to show something after my long absence.. the pants will get more detail soon..

http://www.k-dump.net/files/wip/gameicon/alien10_comp.gif

Very Well done

see, there are other people who like those antenna things... I've told you three times to increase them, but it's your call ;)

anyways, good work!
:buttrock:

[Aearon]

Xtronic: thx man. no textures yet, but some colors :)

akocan: hehe my man, i DO like 'em too you know, but only the way they are right now ;)

thx for the compliments from you as well

http://www.k-dump.net/files/wip/gameicon/alien11.jpg

i know the colors seem a little too saturated, but he's supposed to wear friendly and bright colors. next step is adding more 'decoration'.

he also looks a little stiff / anxious right now (shoulders pulled up, eyes wide-open), that'll change once i rig him

[Franky]

Allright he looks cool.A little like a genie,how many wishs does he grant the finder of his vessel?;)
The hands and the details look very nice.I think when posed and in his vessel with all the other models shown it will be bitchin.Hey what about that update of the other vessel too.:p
Well anyways it's a magnificent thread to have been following,really unique and top rate modeling etc.
By the way maybe some jewelry or some kind of decoration for the guy could be cool too,just a thought.Good stuff.
:thumbsup:

[Vladvrz]

Pretty cool guy there.Textures will do him up real good.Lots of stuff in this thread.Real cool too.It will be real interesting to see it all together.I am still waiting on that other vessel that goes with that cockpit rig shown earlier,when's it coming guys?
Anyways really can't wait for more,hope it's sooner than later.:thumbsup: :beer:

[FredSpeaks]

You guys are really just amazing. You have produced soo much, and it is all very detailed. Congrats, It is looking great!:applause:

[Virtuoso]

Frumpy's new best friend the "Fugitive",oh the journey through L'Eternel they will take will be something for the legends.:thumbsup:

Rig,textures will really make him standout.I think he will be wonderful to see in the transport you have created. Tip: Runes,sigils?By the way the turn around is very cool,it does the Fugitive great justice.

Looking very good indeed Fist.Just get him to the finish line.Will you go for handpainted textures in PS or Painter? If so I'll Pm you about alot of details that might be of some help.OK cool going,just fine tune him now,not far off now.very well done.

:thumbsup:


Ok I'll be back later with a look at another part of the Steed of Steel Frumpys transport.The whole transport will be un-veiled tomorrow.Textures are also complete for Frumpy himself and his walking weapon/gadget and the statues or props for the final scene.The fortress also has begun with preliminary modeling.

OK back later in the wee hours of night with a little update,then tomorrow with a large one.See you then.

And again thanks to all for your great and kind comments,we really do appreaciate your help and encouragement.

[Virtuoso]

Here is a rather small up-date.I have allmost all the "Steed of Steel" pieces together,finishing touchs will be done tomorrow.

I have to assemble the quite complex wings structure and then I will post it.So it's very close now.It's very late here,and to get a WIP up now would be no sleep instead of at least a little.

We will post alot tomorrow and the next days on the Transport Frumpy Jowls Steed of Steel.Frumpy Jowls with textures along with his walking fighting body-gaurd weapon gadget.The statues too are ready for the final scene.

On Friday I will start to create the fortress & environment for the scene,while the texturing will commence for the transport.We will get as much done as possible without compromising quality.

OK,here is the Rudders and rear controls for the transport the steed of steel. Just to give you a little something until I can post lot's more tomorrow and beyond.

Here is the control cockpit once again just to remind you of another part to the ytransport.It's kind of lost back there in this thread.Also for some new visistors to the thread that don't feel like browsing all-day.

[BladeFX]

Nice rudders.

I still get the impression that the seat of the cockpit is too small compared to the handles, and that there should be pedals for the feet. It's quite practical on a rotating device.
Just my thoughts

Waiting for you updates :beer:

[Virtuoso]

Oh and here too is a little turn-around ,about 600Kb's.

Thanks very much by the way for the continued help and very kind comments,they do help us keep going and are very much appreaciated.Thanks all,we will be back with lots more tomorrow and the days to follow.Also look for more on Fist'sFugitive and transport.Thanks again.

:beer: Hey...leave from the computer for a while and go to the sea and..dive in...'cuase u are all Nuts....lol...Nuts i say again......crazy people...GOOD STUFF !!!:wavey:

[Virtuoso]

Blade FX: I have alrady enlarged the seat,thanks to your observant eye,it did need a little size increase,and give a floor panel to encircle the cockpit when out as it is shown here.

Look for those changes with all the rest tomorrow.Thanks again for your kind words and help.:beer: :beer:

[Virtuoso]

Yes Dimi very good idea,but trust me,I am a major sea/Ocean lover,I dive in all the time,but not as much as I would like to lately with this challenge.these challenges do have a way of altering your "Real life".;)

By the way,you are very near the Sea yourself,those islands................:drool: .......

Thanks for coming by,now you got a bike and racer to get to...don't you?No sea for you or me it looks like.:p

Thanks Dimi.

[Katss]

Beautiful and elegant.Flare and style to burn.With more of the vessel and then the fortress you mentioned I am really anticipating great things.It's all quite overwhelming,from characters with impossible cool textures and gadgets to all this and then more.Great effort besides modeling,originality and textures from above.Keep it up,it's really impressive work.
:thumbsup: :applause:

[Magnusv]

Once again a fine addition that matches the rest of the stylish designs and ideas.So get the rest of it up now,I await a nice update.By the way I assume that rudder is for the back,and the control device is for the front? So get everything in the middle here soon.All looks wonderful.
:buttrock: :love:

[Kenter]

Really cool parts,but I want the whole thing.If the whole thing as as detailed as these parts and that character with all his gadgets than wheweeee,it's going to be something to see.Hope you get it all done in time.Still getting the fortress in,there is a time limit you know.
What can I say just brilliant design and great execution on modeling and textures.Really great work.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Virtuoso]

Hi again..............

Well just finished the modeling of the "Steed of Steel",Frumpy Jowls Transport. It's 4:30 AM here,another late night CG fest.:p

To get some decent shots will take a little time,so I'll get them up tomorrow or should I say later today/tonite after I get some 4th of July fun out of the way. I'll get deeper into the scene/Fortress just after that as well,plus start posting some full textured shots of Frumpy and the statues.

So until later today,I'll see you then.Fist should be showing off some more as well quite soon,so stay-tuned.:)

Thanks again for the great comments,we are at the stage where we can start really showing alot more,lots of loose ends have been wrapped up.Thanks and see you later today.

:beer:

Just brilliant and unique in every sense of the word.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Just totally awesome,every little detail,from ideas to actual modeling,just really excellent work.Too much actually to comprehend in this thread,you guys deserve a cold one or two.:beer: :beer:
I just love the whole concept,the feel,really impressive.:thumbsup:

[McFly]

Will we get a chance to see it animated?
Even something simple but those wings moving, that must be sweet!!

I'll repeat everybody's words but anyway: great job, very detailed and as Antnik said, it really seems that it all works (machinery)!
Where do you get this logic / details of all the mechanical stuff?

Hats off! :beer:

[Colin de bink]

but otherwise great :thumbsup:

[Onsloh]

Oh my oh me,mates you have out done even yourselves once again.Imagination and flare gone wild here.Excellent & brilliant all in one.get your site up already mates.:p

[Franky]

:drool: Woooowaaaawooooow.Nuff said,too much for my senses.High marks from me dudes.Great stuff once again.Do you take imagination pills.:thumbsup: :applause:

[Delapouite]

Hi Virtuoso bros... Well let me first say that i'm very impressed every time I discover a new pic. Such a creativity in the modelling ! I really enjoy that style : tubular parts, knut and bolts everywhere on steel structure... ... It reminds me some kind of old engine which used to be constructed in Europe at the end of the XIX century.... But they're also something that strikes me when i see your wireframe.... aren't there too many polygons ? Sometimes, I don't understand why there is a high number of subdivisions.... and it make your modelling not really...economic ! Isn't the rendering too long ??
Anyway, I really appreciate your personal touch, this is a single one, which can't be imitate and I enjoy people who follow their ideas creating their own style without being satisfied by making things that already made hundreads time before.

[Leesee]

:eek: I am humbled.I just echo the other here,beautiful fresh work,you have you own way,you also have abiliti to do it like no other.Is there more to this machin o other works coming.
Just my hat off to you ,I love this all.:applause: :buttrock:

[Kozlov]

Hi there Virtuoso,
well finaly alle the small pieces together. It looks realy well designed and works well like a one object. I agree that the chair in the cocpit is a bit to small, i think it should look more safe since this is a flying machine and there is a risk of falling down. Maybe more like jet pilots seats, but in your XIX style. I cant imagine the final piece, you'v got so many object woth seeing that you could make a few finals. Ok nothing to crit more, im wainting for textures cuz, this is what brings something in to life. Wish you patience with all the details my advice is to use procedurals sinc they dont rquire unwraping-just a thought.
Take care and good luck
Kamil:thumbsup:

[Vladvrz]

:bowdown: You are impossible,details,ideas,skills,style.You made a deal with the devil for this. :deal:
Just impressive, it all is as good as it get.:applause:

We have a very specific plan for the final image now, everything looks like it's on track. Virtuoso will show off the piece that holds it all together very soon now: The coral fortress! Him being an architect, this creation is in his true domain... Can't wait to see it all together myself :D

i just went through the last posts with my mouth open, shaking my head


utmost respect to all three of you for your skills, creativity, imagination, and dedication .... :bowdown:

oh, and not to mention that frickin monster of a computer your doin all this on:eek:

congradulations are definitely in order ...

[Kenter]

:bowdown: Frickin coolest style and details,characters,vessels,that one character texture is awesome,when will we see his body texture?And I sure hope you can texture that vessel now or at least after the challenge.True artists at work here :arteest:
You got enough here for a whole portfolio already,and high quality at that.Brilliant job.
:applause:

[Kenter]

[Aearon]

thanks so much you guys, we're so glad you like what we've done for this challenge, it sure was a lot of work.

Oz: you're one of my favorite artists around here, so your praise means a lot !!

Iguiniz.X.: thanks a lot man. we always showed our own work in our posts, so it's quite easy to seperate (and it's quite easy to see that virtuoso is an ill work-horse)

pigwater: thanks a lot to you too. :)

Kenter: Thanks a lot for the compliments. In the final shot everything will be textures, and yeah the environment is in the works at malibu beach

[fellah]

wow, when did this thread go crazy? :eek:
I love all the vehicles, the 'big vs small' proportions are wonderfull. but I'm overwhelmed_of all the work here since my last look, so I dont even gonna try to crit/nitpick anything now. I'll wait until you show more,
hope you'll make it in time (but I doubt it :wip: )

[Katss]

:drool: What more can be said.I want as much more as possible,textures for the little guy have yet been shown for body and weapon,are they still coming,and the transports at least some?Anyways it's all as said before fantastic vision and style work.Hope more is coming still.Great work here.:applause: :buttrock:

[Fetus23]

ummmm...WOW!!! The amount of wonderful work in here is just amazing...I have no crits...I just wanna see it finished!! You guys are doing a fantastic job with all of it...the style is really great and stands out as a truley original creation. I really hope you guys have time to get it all together...im sure you will :)...

:beer:

[genesis max]

Nice work guys, looking forward to see it all textured, posed and rendered on one place. I will vote for time extension especially for this thread cuz i want to see this finished and polished.
Once again i'll say exceptional work guys, you never cease to amaze me. Just keep working on this until deadline whenever it will be. Lots of greetings from
Genesis Max, see you soon guys until then :beer:

[swag]

Fist - give him some seat belts he is going to slip down :)
Virtuoso u build a monster u need very much extra time for texturing :wip:

[Aearon]

fellah, Katss, Fetus23, genesis max, swag: thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks again ;)

swag: he doesn't need a belt, the seat mechanism balances all exterior forces (what a great excuse!)

ok guys, i got bored and already programmed half the game. what you see in this animation is one of our many mini-games, called grab-the-box.. the graphics will be a lot better of course ;)

grabthebox.avi (2.76MB, divx4) (http://www.k-dump.net/files/wip/gameicon/grabthebox.avi) it's worth it!

actually this is the gripper, controlled by 3dsmax's mouse-motion-capture feature (i animated the flyover in a few secs and then actually flew over the boxes, controlled the arm with the mouse and gripped with the space bar), just a quick animation for fun :D

[Dirk_P_Ho]

Ha ha, thats pretty neat fist. Max sure has some cool features

[Shawns]

Just amazing.:drool:
Could you clear your PM box.I have an offer that just might interest you lads.:buttrock:
Just love your style and work ethics.Brilliant in every facet of the game.Now clear that PM.See you soon.:beer:

[Virtuoso]

OZ: You and me the true steam punk lovers...your words mean alot.Thanks very much.

Iguiniz.X.: great for you to have finally found us here.I am happy you liked our eforts.Thanks,and I hope to see more of you here in the future,the place is only better with you around.

pigwater...Thanks Pigwater,it's very kind of you to give such great words.As for a PC well we are actually getting together a renderfarm just after this challenge.Then we can go really crazy with massive World building/creation.Thanks for the support.

Kenter:Yes a building and environment are still coming,I really wish they would have at least given us a small extension of a few days,I would have been able to really give this more detail and depth,but still we will have something.Frumpy Jowls is textured,along with his body and weapon,tons of texture work there let me tell you from head to toe.Thanks for the great words too.

Fellah...What you been vacationing for leaving us to do all the work............Shame on you.Thanks for coming in and giving us such nice comments,you are getting too nice I think.Big thanks again friend,I really hope to see more from you here in challenges and WIP's.

katssThanks as well,yes as many textures as possible are coming.Look for as many as we can get in within the next days,and if we get an extension of a couple days or so all of them.Cross your fingers for an extension.Thanks for your support as well.

fetus23You like our style huh?Well that means alot,due to me always liking yours in your work.Thanks for the kind words.It all means alot to us.

genesis max: Big thanks,very happy you like our efforts.I am still hoping to see more from your creation as well,if not here then take it to WIP section,it has lots of potential,I saw that early on,it would really be worth your time,muscles looked really well defined already even in an early state.Thanks for coming by with support,you are too cool.

Swag Well we will get done what we can,if not all then we will work after the challenge for an extra 3 days or so to get it finished and then put it in the WIP section,and then for a very large plan of ours after that....I already wish I was on that creation.Thanks for coming by with such nice support so many times,it means alot to us.

FIST: Now that was alot of frames,what's next............a full length LOTR type movie?Very nice once again,I am always more impressed with you,and your work ethic and your great attitude,plus your talent and knowledge.Very nice once again,see you very soon.

Dirk P hoe: Hehe....Fist should be along to thank you very soon.....;)

Shawns: The PM box is clear....give us that offer,we are always listening.Thanks as well for the great comments.


To all of you a big salute,and thanks,it's very much appreaciated...................:beer:


......................................................................


Ok more on the environment,some architecture and Frumpy Jowls textured coming up.along with as much of the transport textures as we can get in.

Big thanks to all for the great compliments and support.:beer:

[Johnlittle]

I came in for more style and pizaz,but perhaps tomorrow.:hmm:
By the way this other machine with the gizmo is done really well too,really nice shot with the guy in there as well.
You guys have impressed alot of folks here,me including,I hope to see more soon,if not here than in the work in progress area.Once again I'repeat everyone else,amazing stuff gentlemen.
:buttrock: :buttrock:

[Aearon]

dirk: hehe thanks, it wasn't a lot of work, just a quick idea... 3dsmax sure is a nice toy to play with :)

shawns: get that 'offer' over here too ;)

john: i'm sure there will be more stuff later today or tomorrow. we're glad you like our stuff this much :D

[janhath]

:buttrock: Yippee,yippee,some textures on the little guy are coming.And a environment,cool news.I really loved the texture job on his head and head gear,hope this is about as cool.Ok you may update now.:drool: ;)

[Apt Pupil]

Hey there guys, it's coming along great. My favourite would have to be the bat winged type flying contraption. The mechanics for this one as well as everything else is extrodinary, you all manage to squeeze in so many details.

But, the deadline is now coming in fast, I can't wait to see how you pull everything together. The final stretch of the comps are always great to witness as we will finally get to see how people bring together their visions . . . this one will be quite something!!

Keep up the marvoulous work guys!!:beer:

[Steveyola]

I said it before I'll say it again,the feel the style of the work here can not be compare.The modeling and texture work are great,but the idea is what is speacial the most.I sure hope for at least a little more texture work,and please get a web site and after this it will be interest to see what you come up with.:thumbsup: :applause:

[Virtuoso]

janhath..........I have about 4 updates coming in the next two days.An environment test,first in a few hours.And then late tonite (Is there ever an early night in Cg ;) ) a full textured look at frumpy Jowls.

Then tomorrow a couple more updates.We will show as much as we can get done.Thanks for your support.

Apt pupil: Thanks,you know actually I have had to compromise some of my vision or original thought due to time constraints.But for me this has been great to get 3 more high detailed characters and another transport into my portfolio as added pieces to go with my private project and to go with my new project coming up just after this challenge.We will gt it as close to the finish line as we can.Thanks for the compliments.I also look forward to your always brilliant work in the games design section and the 2D section.I think they are already sooo very cool.See you soon,and thanks.

Steve yola: More texture work is coming.as much as we can get in without compromising our work.So look for it real soon.Thanks for the comments,very kind of you.A couple websites are coming ,one for personal work and the other for a massive private project we have been creating for 12 months out of the last 16,lots to show,but we can only do so in november when the NDA is lifted,due to the fact it is based on my up-coming novels.Ok thanks again.

Ok back with an update in about 3 to 4 hours,and then another in about 12 hours,the usual late night Cg time.:p

Big thanks to all.:beer:

Some whacked out gonzo modelling I see. Very nice... a good clean job. The old fashioned flyer is very original. It would be good to see them both in a more dynamic shot... swooping down from the clouds or something. I look forward to seeing what you have up your sleeve for the final render.

[Virtuoso]

Hi again.....Ok this is a test of the environment,a part of the final scene.We will post it in it's entirety on saturday with the final shot.

A few Frumpy jowls pieces of his armor and other parts too will be shown in a just few minutes as well.Then tomorrow we will show Frumpy Jowls fully textured along with his trusty sidekick his walking weapon/gadget.We are busy rigging Frumpy and the statues the best we can until deadline and texturing the transport.Fist also will be showing an update of his transport and his character the Fugitive.

Then the final shot on Saturday,so look for another 3 updates beyond this until the final deadline.Thanks alot for the continued support..................here is a small piece of the final environment and shot...

Wow :eek: .So very cool.Can'y wait to see it all in one shot,just hope you can get most of it done and in.just amazing work from the get go her,style details have been off the charts.Great job,intense set piece.:thumbsup: :applause:

[MikaelPersson]

This is looking nice Virtuoso. I like the colours, just a quick thought for you for the final piece. Those clouds make the set look like a minature. They are way to big for that set.
On their own they are really nice but you need to scale them down if you are going to keep that backdrop.
The ship is so nice Virtuoso, looking forward to the final piece :)

oh and I like the ship fist, coming along real nice. I still think some kind of belt or fotrest would be suitable for your character, otherwise ignorant people like me or others may just think you missed it ;).

cheers.

[Colin de bink]

this is just fantastic
I like it :buttrock:
hope you make it in time

[BladeFX]

realy nice :thumbsup:
I realy like your stair textures.

great job, hope you make it in time.
Waiting to see the final :beer:

[Onsloh]

:drool: .Boink,pick me jaw up off the floor.Looking wonderful mates.Hope to see it all in soon.Just how you got it planned I leave to you,it's in good hands.You say this is just a piece,allright then,I look forward once again to an update and the final soon.Really great effort and work fellows.:thumbsup: :buttrock:

[DimitrisLiatsos]

:beer: Hahahah you are all crazy on that beach...stop drinking crazy drinks..hahahah...real nice work guys...and ..i forgot...U ARE NUTS...:wavey:

[Konic]

Astonishing.How can so much be done.All so wonderfully too.I think it's all just fantastic,kudos to you,impressive.:applause: :applause:

[genesis max]

Amazing man, just amazing. That's what i expected of you Virtuoso. Your talent is bursting and evolving. Environment is really cool, atmosphere of the place is great, only critiques goes to color choices, brown color is all over the place, a little bit too uniform. Dominant color is OK but you should have some other colors to break it, to make it look more interesting. I think you can do it in final render when it all comes in one place, don't take this critique as something bad, i just want to see final render as good as it can be, and from you i expect nothing less than fantastic work. Keep the good work bro, and keep that updates coming.
greets, genesis max :beer:

[Gregwid]

Wow man looking great.A real old structure built into the mountains,cool stuff.Now i see this as a backdrop,am I right? The main machines will and characters will be up front?
Allright I'll check back for the final,it will be cool to see all this amazing work in one place,man all done in a month,really super,what would you come up with in a year,jeese,too cool.:thumbsup: :beer:

[Virtuoso]

Wow that's alot of replys in an hour or so.Thanks very much.

Mikael P....You have an a third eye don't you?You see all.Yes this is a test run,a quick look,the real finished sky will be scaled properly.Thanks for the compliments and watching our backs.Always nice to hear from you.:beer:

As for the overall project: We had a full fledged scene with quite a piece of architecture already done.But due to time contraints we decided to go a quicker route.If we had pursued the original plan we would have needed another 3 days.So we went with this,it's really nothing more than a back drop/background.Colors will be adjusted,but we wanted a blend of stone and natural terrain,more inbetween colors are very simple,but that requires more time still,and with all the rest 3 characters with high levels of detail and the transport a quicker option was our choice.It's really just a bonus,the extra portfolio pieces in this for us are the three characters and transport.

I'll post a few extra Frumpy Jowl body pieces in a moment.Also the full body tomorrow fully textured,and then the transport and final.Ok...........see you soon,and thank-you all very much for your compliments.

:beer:

[Virtuoso]

Here are a few pieces of Frumpy Jowls armor etc,etc...

Look for a full version of him tomorrow all textured.The armor is a speacial type substance created by Frumpy Jowls,one of his many experiments.It's a cross of Kevlar and LOTR's Mithral...I wanted it to take on the appearance of being rugged."Not machine shop created".Somehting put together or sewn together.

Here is a little look,expect another couple updates tomorrow.Thanks again for all the support.

Do you recall a movie The good the bad and the ugly?With Clint Eastwood.Well the ugly in the movie Eli Wallach known as Tuco had a funny line in the movie.............It went something like this............................."When you got a noose around your neck............you can feel the devil bite your arse".:p

We still have 7 and a half hours here in Malibu so says the Challenge site clock.So soon an update/final will be shown..................So stay tuned.See you then.:beer:

[pigwater]

Virtuoso ... be careful of that countdown clock ...you may wanna double check Greenwich Mean Time .. noticed over in the 2d that fellah's clock had expired and apt_pupil had 5 hours left and mine showed 7

sooooooooo.......

[Virtuoso]

Hi Pigwater.....................Just checked again,it says 7 hours and 12 minutes.That's 12 :00 midnight here in Cali.

But the devil is still biting at my arse.We will get it posted in a few hours,still a few before midnight.Thanks for the concern.See you soon.:beer: :beer:

[pigwater]

the rules say midnight GMT .. i checked that and that's in about 10 minutes

[Virtuoso]

Well when I go to the challenge site the clock says 7 hours and some minutes left,so now what?I'll contact Lil'Dragon.Thanks.:beer:

[pigwater]

yah .. definitely ... they can't discount all your work over their mistake


and you won't be the only one ... sooo grab a wave and, clear the head and slam the finish line:thumbsup: (i hope)

[swag]

Virtuoso challenge is over and i cant see your final pic - whats on - i told u - take the beach girls by side there is no time :p

[SEL]

Hey guys!!

Sorry I havent posted anything for awile for weve had 3 weeks vacation and my DSL has been down the last 2 weeks, but got it up a couple hours ago! I finally was able to check out the internet and the progress of everyone and was baffled by the detail you managed to put into this challenge. I must say that you all challenged yourselves in every aspect of 3d and wanted to say congrats as you have a ton of great work here. I do hope you plan on having a final composite of everything in a scene to put on the challenge site for voting as this is one of my fav's. Laterz!

SEL

:beer: :buttrock: :applause:

[swag]

hmmm west coast the time is Greenwich Time and this is a fix point in GB
or iam wrong? but it´s nice to hear that u have 6 h left - hurry hurry hurry

look here ...

The Challenge starts June 3rd, 2003 and will run until July 12th, 2003 Midnight GMT

[Aearon]

i think the guys made a big mistake with the challenge clock.. the only way to explain how the times can be different for everyone is that i takes the local computers time to calculate the deadline (which is quite likely if they used a typical java timer)

i guess they will have to accept entries from people whoe post within 'their' timers' deadline

*edit* i just checked, the timer changes if you change your clock :beer:

[Johnlittle]

Ok now you are cutting it close,but I have faith in you.It's still a few hours till your deadline friends.Hey did you know that you have more replys then any other entry in all the challenges of all time,you broke the record,LOL.And well deserved,can't wait to see the final.
Ok get her loaded up.

[Colin de bink]

yeah I noticed that clock problem a few days ago
I calculated when the deadline would end and it whas gonna stop at exactly 0.00 hrs and thats weird since i'm in a totaly different timezone then the ppl from cgtalk so i figured that the clock had to be based on the clock of my computer and that is differend for all of us

oh I also want to say that your image turned out :buttrock: :thumbsup: :applause:
I hope they will make a acception for you guys and next time they program a better clock

[janhath]

Bravo,it's just brilliant.Love the whole package and the pieces all fit so well,great vision and flare.I hope they will let you post at the site,but still you can get votes for your work even without the last shot,and still people can see it here.It's sad to hear this.
Anyways great effort and excllent skills.Love your work.:thumbsup: :applause:

[fellah]

first of, once again. some very nice work have been made here by all three of you. I'm glad you joined this challenge, it added alot to it imo.

I like most of the separate rendered images you have shown, but the final dont make justice to it all. but, I understand how hard it must have been to add all those objects and polygons into one scene. and I'm also almost sure that the final image dosent mean much to you compared to all the work you've got done this month :)
and I'm also sure that most of the "jury" who will "place the winners" will get a chance to look at the separate images you submitted here to, atleast now as you submitted them once again in the end. so they will probably see what you have made and all the effort in it anyways..

finaly, I hope the mods will let your image through.. I'm sure they will. they cannot be that hard on the rules in a challenge like this where we do this for fun, and concerning all the time you spent on it. and as you said, your clock showed "3 hours left" so it's not more than fair anyways.

well, goodluck with the submiting, the challenge overall, and your personal project
:beer:

[Virtuoso]

Fellah, Janhath, Colin de bink,big thanks.

[Aearon]

thanks again guys. some parts of the final really had to be rushed (esp the fugitive textures and frumpies transport), but as fellah mentioned you still have the seperate models to judge.

i don't have word from virtuoso on it yet (he just reported the problem to me a few hours ago and then went to sleep for the first time in several days) but now the final shot is on the challenge site, i guess one of the mods put it up there. a big thanks for that :thumbsup:

the challenge clock issue was new to me and kicked up a lot of confusion, i'm sure you guys will take care of that for the next challenge.

*edit* ok didn't see his post, i have virtuosos word now, it's as i thought.. the mods cleared up the issue and everything's fine now :thumbsup:

[Steveyola]

:drool: ........You have done your selves proud.Brilliant entry.You will get a nice gift from me.Love the style,ideas,models,textures,all of it.can't wait to see your next works,will be great for sure.Congrats on an epic entry.:beer: :beer:

Hi... I have seen the final post work on the Challenge site guys:thumbsup: :thumbsup: ..Great and much..much work in one frame. Congrats and i hope i 'll see u on a upcoming challenge again!!!!:wavey:

[Apt Pupil]

Hey there Virtuoso and fist, you guys did a marvelous job. You all managed to maintain the same degree of strength and ambition right till the very end, which is no easy task. Congrats on the job well done;)


:beer: See you guys around and hopefully, it will be in the next contest.

[Kozlov]

Hi @Virtuoso Bross and Fist,

Good luck on voting and see'ya in the next chalange
Take care
Kamil:beer: :wavey:

[swag]

great u have finished the final all the work in one picture there is shortage of space for all its looks overcrowded but the final pic give only a overview - the several entries are great so this is what count

hope see u next time guys :beer:

[Magnusv]

:eek: Just a great entry,love all the work and effort.You really do have some great individual stylish pieces for your work folders.The crafts and the characters are done top rate.The little guy with gear is :drool: ,in every way.Exceptional entry.:applause:

[pigwater]

Virtuoso Bros & Fist .. just wanted to congradulate you on an incredible entry .... utmost props to all of you :beer:

first off, the final image does not do it justice .. there is no way that a single image could even come close to showcasing all the work, imagination and talent that we all know was involved in this .. utterly outstanding stuff ... i am pulled to the individual images which really display your fabulous work

the devil is in the details and you kicked it's ass with this ... my mind still swims with the amount of work you all put into this ... and from what it looks like you set a record with thread views ...

you gave us all an extremely entertaining and educational ride and it was a lot of fun to watch & i' sorry it's over:applause:

thanx for the show & good luck in the polls , where i know you will do quite well

now go catch some waves ...you all deserve some major time off :wavey:

[Erik]

Hi virtuoso team ;)
i wanted to say how i like a lot the job you've done here, as other i finaly think that your final pic, doesn't give a really good idea of the quality of your job, but i show it to my job freind they all think as me that there is one of the best entry of this challenge ;)
bye, see you soon on cgtalk

[Virtuoso]

Thanks to all of you for the very nice words,we really do appreaciate it very much.We have a few extra creations for our portfolio,the kind that can surround our main work and the up-coming project we plan on doing.We will also show about a years worth of work this November.I wish I could show you this,we are very proud of it,but it is based on my up-coming novels and I have an NDA on it until then.

We had fun, and gained some extra pieces to our portfolio.And had a great time here with all the other challengers and supporters of our efforts.

Also Fist was a fantastic partner in both talent and attitude,great guy with more brains then Einstien.It was great working with him, and we hope to get together again for something speacial I have in mind(Did you here me Fist;) )

Ok good luck everyone,I'll be seeing you all soon I know,and it was very fun.Thanks very much for all the support and great words.

See you very soon.

:beer: :beer:

[genesis max]

Fantastic job guys, you really made a show on this challenge, everybody was anxious to see what you will do next, what really stands out here is consistency from story, concepts, modeling, texturing and rendering. So much talent here, it is simply exploding.
And Virtouso don't forget to PM me when those novels, new creations and work come out.Year of work, wow that must be much, can't wait to see it all. :eek: ]
I also want to thank you for your support during the challenge, as i said before, you are not only the great artist, but also the great guy, and for guy on your level of skill something rare.:)
See you soon friend, ZIVELI :beer:
Edit: Please clear your PM box.

[Gregwid]

Just been a pleasure to follow.Can't wait to see that whole years worth of work you guys have done,you did this all in a month,what the hell can you come up with in a year with free reign is mind boggling,and this new peoject you are going to do sounds great too,will you show it here at Cg talk?
Great job,creative and totally done in top notch form.Beautiful job.:thumbsup: :applause:

[asela]

first of all i folowed through the stages of your work and i realy learned and got inspired.

second i think that it the end frame you tried to work on every thing and put everything together in one frame and i fill that it does show the potential of your work

inspite of what i said i thing that jumping higher than you can is the best way, true some times you fall on your ass
but eventualy you will get higher than others

i realy hope to catch you on the next one:beer:

1. place - congratulation to Fist and Virtuoso Bros

[Steveyola]

Congrats on a well deserved 1st place finish.Loved the whole process,models to ideas.That Main character of yours is a true Game icon.Plus all the rest fitted perfectly.
Looking forward to your next works.Fantastic job and well deserved.:applause: :beer:

[zenzmurfy]

I'm eagerly looking forward to seeing that stuff in an animation! There was simply too much to show in a single image. :)

[Aearon]

zenzmurfy: there will be more! we will continue to work on our world, but we'll leave the final image as it is for now. i would have loved to see everything finished according to our original plan, with the coral fortress and mesas and all, instead of the rushed backdrop. but the individual creations are more important to us: we are already working on other parts of L'Eternel, so we'll be able to use all these guys and vessels again :)

We are all the more gratetful for your interest in our creation and of course all the votes! thanks to all of you!

[Neox]

yep, great single piece but i'm missing all those fine details in the final picture, thats such a shame for all your great work...
i guess an Animation with Cloesups would be awsome :)

[Virtuoso]

RedF,Swag,Steveyola,Zenzmurfy,Neox................Thanks...


The people have spoken,so,so,many,and Lil'Frumpy Jowls of the Scalawags is most thankful to all that have given support.

He wants for you all to look for him and many more Scalawags within the World of L'eternel very soon.Major plans are being ironed out this very moment.

A very big thanks to all once again.It's very much appreaciated.:beer: :beer:
