well, my modeling- skill is rising and will no stop;
I think the point has come this skill is good enough doing the short film i want to do;

here i show u same characters how play a role in this short
(will also add another male character, because the one i modelled looks too old...will use him somewhere else)

--female model

--male model
http://members.lycos.co.uk/xaya/maleunt.jpg

--enviroment: link to my older wip
http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=56608[


In the first scene these characters donīt occur (not really)
the first scene contains of a cat and a bird ( i already tried model them, but not satisfied with the results yet...)
and the landscape i already modelled (will also tweak it because it looks too small and not really what it is now in my head...it used to be there :surprised )

this animal scene ( cat wantīs to catch the small bird) should
distract the main action in the backround (will use DOF for hiding details) at the end of the scene the bird escapes and lands on the tree (a symolistic object!) (also with DOF for hiding)
some camera flights make the scene more fantastic (e.g. a spiraliod camera flight around the flying bird...)
the final and of this "intro" is the flight of the bird into the landscape and uncover the main action

hope u understand my imagination-describtion :shrug:

the funny thing is that i havenīt got good/ enough knowledge and experience in animation (what is needed to create the short)
--I will probably ask for help sometime ---when i complete modeling part....

will add cat and bird models "when they are done" :scream: in this thread

PS: I won`t post progress continuedly /frequently,
because of lack of time... but will do what is possible...

so xaya, you want crits? so you get one!

so lets begin with the sweet cat: looks not bad ( and quite common, i'm sorry), but texturize it, that could make the meat taste excellent!!!:bounce:

both the male and the female wip-char are looking like a sunny day at the malibu-beach with mr. feelgood, (means verrrrrry good!!), but it seems to me that the man is quite similar to the woman, the only real difference are her best arguments (2 :eek: )

2 the environmental pic: seems that the ground has the same color as the tree, sssstrange, but i wouldn't say more grass, we are not in britain, aren't we?

so thats my crit, hope it isn't too aggressive, shouldn't be!
hold on!

no! not really hard critics.... :D

--cat: i`ve waiting for "shave and a haicut" for a half year
but it is still not released... i also had the change to use
shag hair but wasnīt satisfied with workflow and
possiblities and results...

--man: i used the female model and convert it to male one
---> similarities; will add more differences!!!


---enviroment:look at the last 3 image, please!
the first ones are ugly and completely remodelled
but will even change a lot (already written above)
(grass will also add with "shave and a haircut"

:surprised

i tweaked the path a little
and done more dramatic lighting

at the moment i have the basic material gray
(+ the supernoise mat for bump map by blurstudios)

i want to give a very dry look of the rocks... donīt exactly how to aim it.... (less/no reflection/ highlight, perhabs some fog...)

at the end i also add some "burned" grass ...

come on some critics please...

hu, well,
this is the inspiration artwork by Karl Spitzweg
(great german artist in the 19th century)

i donīt want to copy the landscape etc... but i really like the view the colors and the huge clouds in the background...

i will use Afterburn to achieve realistic ones... :wavey:
some tips for rebuild anywhere???

donīt you like my landscape or why no replies for this; :surprised

well, i tweaked the male model (main character)
i made him younger and less muscles-man (donīt like that)
i hope the body arm area is right (i know not the best view to say)
because i had some problems with this part in the past

critizise me, please!!!

Great landscape, id like to see it with some color. The female looks good and the male is looking alot better. Those are some tights pants though haha. Cant wait to see some textures, i dont know if im liking that cat though, dunno why legs look like the are too stiff but i guess that will change when its rigged.
good luck

mhh, thank you first of all;

i also not satisfied with the cat, in side view it looks fantastic
but in front $"§$€'* :rolleyes:

but the fur will change a lot...
the trousers will also be changed, donīt want some
gay-style :shame:

well here is a old testrender of the "good" female; :suprised:

hehe..not much luck with the replies hey.
Well I dont have any real good crits...sorry

Your feet need some ankly bits though.

Oh and if u forget to post a link you can click the "edit" button so you can put it in the same post.

The background in my opinion is very good. I like the painted mystical style. Like something you would see when bushwalking or something.

well, thank you mr3dguy,
i donīt know why i get no response... i think it isnīt bad what i do
(perhaps it is the name of the thread ... too boring..)

Iīm not satisfied with the enviroment at the moment...

i have 3 scenes:
the cliff/beach
the forest
the hill

and none of them a good (enough)...

will work on the female and male character at the moment
