i think that the texture is nice but i will see a shader with more Specularity
you don't think so ?
With a normal lighting, you will see that effect better...
in this case, I have lights placed as alsmot in the final scene... the main light is the backlight...
no direct lighting... that reduce a lot the specularities...
but I must see before, how that works... simply...

m,
Hey Mister Mim... for the third, the monkey is a good idea, especially considering the size of this animal between the other...
in other hand... a steampunk monkey is not easy... I will do my best :D thanks !

A pig sounds goos - and I also think it would be fun to see a giraff. Imagine how it would move to be able to enter the ship :D

huhu... I've already imagine to do giraff... the only problem will be their necks... not easy to enter in the steamboat...or maybe with mechanical part in action :scream:

Yes, his ears are standing up, nice to see that you put so much effort in anatomical correctness:D Waiting with suspense for the next animal couple...you've also planned some birds?

Morning Lolo!
yes... it's planed... and of course... a french cock
Of course:D ...and I'm waiting to discover what will make this cock so especially french...

Seeing the rabbits in the scene I think that they fit almost too perfect in the environment...don't know how this will look in the animation, but for the still they could stand out a little more...

Have a great day!

Bonjour, Laurent! Je suis désolé, il a été très longtemps que je suis venu ici. Je vous souhaite un joyeux anniversaire en retard! Vous avez fait beaucoup depuis la dernière fois que j'étais ici! Je suis scandalisé. Grands travaux. Je pensais que le défi forums ont été calme, mais vous avez prouvé moi bien. :) J'aime les lapins. :) La clé est très drôle. huhuhu. Schéma de couleurs est parfaite. J'aime les couleurs chaudes (rosé, tres bon!)

Sorry to be very late here...

no much time to work... anyway, here's a little test of animatic for bunnies... very simple... as mechanical toys... but that will be not very visible in the final animation... but it's also very good if we could see this "little" huhu...

A very good Monday morning!

Haven't seen the rabbit animation on Friday, so I enjoyed to discover it now: cute! And the pigs are hilarious, I've already guessed 'who is who' without the sophisticated anatomical details, so it seems your minimalistic design is also very expressive:D , well done! I'm looking forward to a week full of beastly updates...
Hope your weekend party was great, and you're starting the week full of motivation and without headache;) ...

Yep... but I'm a bit obliged to do softs animals... due to the final number of animated animals (I hope to have time to do them all)... and also, in action, more details will be unvisible of course... I think it's enough then...

Pigs are finished, and now, with their chariots...

In first, I've planed to do each different wagon per animal... but not sure now.

In first, due to the lack of time... in second, I'm not sure if each differences will be really visible !

I'll keep this model for each animals for the moment.

Glad you appreciate these pigs... about penguins... I will post them today, but I'm not totally satisfied by their design... but you will see soon and give me your advice.
In other hand, all animals will be visible only a short time, maybe it's not obliged to give them a better look...

Software: After Effects,Maya

Animation Test for the pigs... in the scene mood... to see how textures are in the good environment and with the rain.

I don't understand before about the FLV upload, also for WIP... I don't know if it's necessary I'll repost all the previous animation test in FLV with CGC Uploader ?

If people know that ?

The last one for today.

Next night, I've planed animation and textures for the penguins.

Next animal will be certainly a Panda, after, maybe a fish, followed by a cock...

That will make 6 animal races... 12 animals... I must start to think about Noah's design... also for his locomotive.
More animals will comes later... if I have enough time.

The Noahmobile... yeah ! good name for sure... adopted :thumbsup:

for the moment no choice... in first, I've imagined something inspired by MarioKart... but Steampunked of course... or a condensed locomotive... that couldn't be so large...

...but if someone here have a good idea, I'm always open :scream:

Yes you're right, it's more birds than penguins... I hope with textures that will be better.
The ones of batman was my first goal... but I don't find any good references (and really no much time so search :D )

Looking forward to see the penguins textured, atm they look a little sad...maybe they prefer to swim by theirselves:wise: ...

Wish you a nice day!

Is the look is better now ?

Well... anyway, they will be between all other steampunk animals... that will be enough I think.

He said nothing for the moment... posture not very stable... you will see that when animated !

Maybe he will be the only one saved ?

For the penguins I think that having the head less of a ball and maybe a small neck will distinguish them better from other birds. penguin picture (http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/staticfiles/NGS/Shared/StaticFiles/animals/images/primary/adelie-penguin.jpg)
For the panda I think you could shape the "seams" in the metal more like the characteristic drawings on a panda, say the black spots around the eyes, their outline could be a seam...

you're totally right about the penguin... I don't like it so much...
...and maybe it's not a penguin ? huhu
In fact, I've planed to do it a little bit as penguins in Batman... but I don't find quickly good references and I've decided to model him without reference... just with the feeling...

But as this birds will be not longer visible... I think to keep it like that... (a rendertest is actually running at home)



For the panda I think you could shape the "seams" in the metal more like the characteristic drawings on a panda, say the black spots around the eyes, their outline could be a seam...
yep... I've planed you "cut" color parts only around square parts..., of course black and white... texturing is started... I will show you the result tomorrow while hoping you appreciate better.

Maybe I start to be too old... and my head is too hard :D

anyway much thanks for your comments...


hmmm... that make me think to something... in my expo project, there's many buildings with eagle... and they seem more to ducks than eagle !
definitively... I'm to bad about birds :beer: hahaha

And how about Noah... Have you decided on him yet?
I think that comes... many styles in head... medieval Noah... steampunk Noah as diver (I always like steampunk divers... not original I know)... or more antic with white dress, for a good contrast with his locomotive...

...but I'm more decided about his vehicle... I will start this new model next week... and maybe Noah in the same time.

I've planed to finish all the modeling for the end of december... I hope !



More cute animals!!!
How many of them are you planning to do?
9 differents races in couple... that make 18 wagons + the Noahmobile... (19 vehicles)
after the fish... a giraff (for the funny neck entering in the steamboat) - why not Zebra - lion or cat - and the french Cock... (even if I'm very bad with birds...)
I hope that wil be enough... I will be happy to do more, but I'm afraid to doesn't have enough time.
I have many other personal projects to do for the first months of 2009...
Even if the challenge advance well... I'm not totally sure to finish it...

Just the animatic test for the penguins... and how textures works in the sad weather... ;-)

Maybe the movments are not enough large, I must think that in the final scene, all the train will be in action... also the camera... I don't know is that will be enough visible... I will do more test soon, with all parts of the scene...

Ha ha, I love Pandas. I have always believed that one should be able to sell the shapes without textures. But you have limited time for this project and your individual animals will be visible for a limited time and they are supposed to be mechanical approximations in any case. So for this project it is more important that they look cute and fit the mood of the project. Their style happens to fit very well with the rest of your creations and the textures do in fact explain their identity so they are quite acceptable, I think. :-)

Little video to test the speed of the train...

In the first try, the train was more fast, but too much certainly if I want the animals details enough visible...

Here's 3 differents framing, approximatively those in the final animation... with maybe an other camera, in the train, wich permit to see better each animal.

I will do more other test when all animals will be finished... and the driver too...
All must be finished for the end of next week.

Hehe, the fish IS funny, no doubt...and not really hard to imagine the texture:D .

About the animation, maybe the train is still to fast? All the nice details are hard to see, especially with the rain...perhaps make the rain less intense at the beginning and increasing until the start of the ark...but beside of the fact that we can't appreciate the details, I already like this part , I want to see more:)

Again too fast ? well... and me who beleive that was too slow :D
about the rain, you're right... less in the beginning will be better...

When I will have a lagr part of animals, maybe I will do a test with a camera in the train to see better each animal...

I've thought to make a part in slow motion, but for the moment, I don't find the good way to do that...

In any case, I must finish all the modeling before... to be more clear for many points.

Ahh, some fishy fishes for sure! Very funny. I agree with Sabie - it's still way to fast. Steampunked trains could hardly move as fast as modern ones - how about half the current speed? That could give opportunities for the carriages to move a bit uneven, maybe stop at some point, shake a bit ... But the cutting for me makes good sense, I like this a lot maestro :)

Thanks a lot Gunie... half speed ? well...
maybe it's due to the fact than at the beginning, I've planed to do a train not very detailed, and if you remember, le first ran fast, almost flying on the road... and enter veru quickly in the steamboat's belly...

Morning Lolo! Yes, obviously time is different for you, we can see it at your workspeed...so just take the half speed of what you think is good, and it will be ok for us ordinary people...
Morning Sabie... well... I'm really ordinary you know... the only thing less ordinary it's certainly my passion and my motivation... :scream:
ahahaha... you make my day for sure :thumbsup:


The zoo is getting more complete here, the elephant is a good choice and I'm especially pleased that you haven't forgotten these funny little hairs on the head...The panda animation is cute, they are adopted if they don't make it to the ark in time:love:[QUOTE]
A little zoo... I will be glad to ass again many animals... but again 3 and I stop... I must start the final animation in the first days of january...
...now, I must work seriously on the Vieux Paris, and I have 2 other films to do for the beginning of march... :hmm:
...and 2 expositions to prepare...


[QUOTE=daWinky]...This is for sure the most entertaining thread here and I just hope you have so much fun creating as I have while watching!

Always pandas your favorites ? well... why not... usually, it's the same thing for me... just in this case, I like too much these Nemo's... ;)

Tomorrow, I will post the elephant textured... but I'm sure you like much the next one... the giraffes :scream:

After giraffes, it will just remain to do 2 animals... certainly cocks as planed... and the las one... don't know... maybe monkey or lion... not the same thing of course :rolleyes:


About holidays... not for the moment... I must take care with my holidays due to my Expo 1900... I must go regularly in Paris for the project (as for the last exposition at the Conciergerie), and anyway keep some days for real family holidays :blush:

Exactly that... giraffes are totally inspired by Mordillo work... a great reference !
a little hommage so...

About the scale, yes, all animals don't have a similar scale... why ? for 2 reasons...
- the look !
- they must enter inside the boat ! :scream:

Hello Gunie...
I'm happy you like these giraffes... in first, I was not sure about their style, not the only ones very funny here, but of course less steampunk :scream:

Yes... some work here, but that will be hard to manage all... I'm again more busy with an another project (I will post some news soon on the expo thread), and finally, I will take few days of holidays this week... totally without PC :surprised

Hi Lolo,

seems you had not so much rest, I see a lot of new work here! Really nice texturing for the elephants and of course these giraffes are a highlight, can't wait to see them enter the steamboat, very funny and a nice Mordillo homage!
The cock looks not really happy, curious to see him textured, and of course I want to see the Noah-mobile!
If you have time for only one more animal I would vote for the snail, save the snails of this world:D !
And you're serious about a few days of holidays without PC:twisted: !?

Now... it's sure... to more new animals !

that make 9 different races... it's enough.

18 wagons + the NoahMobile !

Oh, you save the snails:love: , so there's also hope for me...They are great and especially the eyelashes of Mrs. snail are hilarious, you obviously know how to set females in scene:D !

And I'm already exited about the NoahMobile, great start and I can well imagine that it will be another eyecatcher here. I like very much the textured and animated cocks now, well done!
If you continue with this speed, I've no doubt that you can finish in time, even with a few days of rest...

Nice evening for you!

Ahaha, those are the cutest snails ever! I didn't spot the eyelashes but I noticed that the male snail is eating :D A really fun couple indeed.
The beginning for the NoahMobile looks splendid - can't wait to see it with Mr Noah on it.
And Mr and Mrs Cock may be a bit crazy - but after all they are french cocks, no? ;)

Happy PCfree days for you now!

héhé... glad you like these snails... that disturb a little to stop to do the last beast... now... it's done...
The last modeling parts come in few minutes... I hope to finish it next week...
all parts must be finished for the first day of next week...

The only problem is Mr Noah... he's not made... maybe that will be not him who drive the NoahMobile, but one of his guys... the famous diver... not ?

I must stop now, to lost time with the challenge, even if it's incredibly fantastic and fun to be here with you all... it's hard to have to said that...

The only few time wich remain me will be only dedicated to prepare the final animation... only...
...I also must think to the render time... huhu the time run too fast... as usually... ;)

Maybe it look a bit strange...

...my goal was to obtain something with a similar size than the wagons... to have of course a Steampunk look, with something of a Mario Kart Steampunked and something of a locomotive...

...I know, that make much parameter, but that was what I've in my mind ;-)))

The last render...

note that the textures are not the final... that will be something with procedural shaders, as for the chariots or animals...
more strempunk... more steel and more colored.

While waiting... nice party for the end of 2008... and see you next saturday !

I've missed so much amazing work coming in to this thread so late. Your ideas and work are stunning and I love it. Congratulations to you, and considering how amazingly productive you have been so far I am sure you will finish your animation in time.

The Noahmobile is brilliant. I love those twin smoke/steam exhausts on top and the double (quadruple?) front wheels too. The proportions are superb and believable and there is a great sense of fun about it too. Bravo! :bowdown:

Of course... it remain Noah to do... but not sure to have time because all the other projects... for the moment, I will continue with the Diver Driver... and if I could find time a little, I will add Noah himself...


Cool. Can't wait to see the final texture :)
Thanks Dennis... that comes very soon...

Now, I must decide myself if I do a new Noah... or if I keep de diver as driver...

...as I don't really planed to do Noah, I don't have any good idea about his possible design... a steampunkk Noah ?
traited as the animals, or as a real human ?

I must take this decision about Noah very quickly, because I've planed to animate the train this week !

Gunilla
01-05-2009, 07:55 AM
Why not let the diver be Noah? He could very well be Noah, prepared for all the rain to come. That way you will have plenty of time to finish it up.
The snails looks sweet now, but tell me - what it is in the male snails mouth?

Yes... thanks... it's certainly the best solution, maybe I could change a little his clothes... to have something more mythologic ?

huhu... of course, without the animation, maybe it's not easy to see perfectly... the dribble... :D

Morning!

Oh yes, cute snails:D , and I'm also wondering about the bubbles for the male snake...if they are bubbles at all?
I think Gunies idea is really good, the diver is the driver and Noah in one person, the model is already nice and it would make totally sense:) ...

Have a good start in the week!

-sabrina

edit: dribble!? I was afraid it might be this...:argh:

Lemog
01-05-2009, 08:55 AM
Thanks Sabie for your advice... I think to keep him... and in other hand, it's also particulary with this diver, but I really like him... don't know why, I've made many modeling since these past years, but he remain my prefered... maybe he's too similar to me... no face... the personnality is inside :D

I will just do some new textures test... to see if I could obtain something a bit different, but with always much personnality... :wip:

That will be certainly very simple... I've imagined the "true" Noah almost "white"... then, the Diver will be almost white...
