Character: KARLAK 3D MODEL

[Otos]

unbelievable!!
you´re so talented!!

[acidboy]

Very nice man, looking forward to seeing the entire character done.

One thing though....With a mouth like that, I'd hate to rig the damn thing ;)

[Hexodam]

omg:eek:

[woadiestyol]

jesus, that's a detailed character. Have fun rigging that....lol. Looks bad ass though!!

[Nicool]

You are great modeler !:cool:
The style of his head is wonderful!

What a complexe mesh !
Nb. I don't agree with the skin folds urder the arm.

Congratulations:thumbsup:

[agreenster]

Freakin' hell thats a complex model. Beautiful, but complex. I sure wouldnt want to paint weights on that monkey.

Hope you got the hardware to handle that monster.

Kudos on the look of him though. He's one scary moFo'!

:beer:

[xeno]

yea!! That one looks awesome!! I loved the 2d painting, this is just plain awesome! definitely keeping an eye on this thread!

[thjazi]

ah oui, bien classe comme début !!! :beer:

[PascalR]

Hey thank you so much for your kind words:beer:
I am working on 3 things (personal works) at the same time so it would probably take me a long time to update this thread, sorry :hmm:
When this heavy polygonal model will be done (one day), I will refine it in Paraform, surface it in NURBS patches, extract displacement maps, so that rigging would not be too complexe(I hope).
Thanks a lot for your feedback
:thumbsup:

great modeling :eek:

[clojster]

FANTASTIC character :thumbsup: :thumbsup: ... nothing to crit so far! Except I don't know what means that crisps on his arms...

[Joebount]

REally cool, nothing to crtitics so far. BTW, did you receive my pm ?

[shugi flex]

that's looks f%$ing amazing!! i love it!!:eek:

what do you mean ? can you explain a bit more ?

[stuzzi]

hi zegritch!

I like the expression,and the life you bring to this creature.Maybe to much expressions..?I mean that i could be better to model a neutral expression of his face in order to have a easier rigging then...

I'm totally agree with the nicool's coments.The fold on his arms ain't credible enough in opposite to the sketch you did before.do you decide to change the design,or the folds are not finished yet(héhé it's a wip).

good job as usual ;)

Excellent concept, cool modelling,great details; I agree with the arm-fold critique. I also think that the arms are too thin so far for this big beast.

[PascalR]

Hi all! Thanks a lot for your feedback, I really appreciate it :beer:
For the arm folds crit, I will keep it in mind when I will refine the model in Paraform ;)
Here is a little update on the arm/hand.
Cheers

[Pufferfish]

Yikes! Oh my! :eek:

Looks exactly the same as my neighbour !...

..but your model has much more friendliness in its face.


That looks very cool! Very unique look and super scary, I love those teeth!

Nice to see what kind of beast it is with textures... :thumbsup:

[PascalR]

Thanks a lot Pufferfish :beer:
I will try to make a flexible skin, with much more folds.
Thanks for your feedback:thumbsup:

[Cyborgguineapig]

:eek: :eek:

Prob up their in the best organic modelers ranking!

[Joss]

so what does Paraform allow you to do?

do you get the displacement maps from Maya or Paraform?

don't blame you for going that route! that's what they did with the Cave Troll in LOTR. should render pretty quick eh?

[dimitrios_c]

I really like the pics on the first page, there is already so much character and movement in this guy! :drool:

[Eugeny]

Usually i don't post reply's like WOW -
but damn, man this work is outstanding -
guys from wetadigital just a kids near u (or u already one of them ? ) .
Excellent stuff (and u have amassing works on your web site too ) :eek: :thumbsup: :buttrock:

[PascalR]

Hi all!
Thanks a lot for your kind words on my work (very encouraging):beer:

Cyborgguineapig: Thank you so much, I am very happy that you liked it!

Joss: Paraform allowes me to add details on my models, and to build NURBS patches from poly models, then extract displacement maps to be rendered in Prman.
Paraform didn't exist when Weta made the Cave Troll. They wrote a proprietary maya plugins to extract displacement maps from their Nurbs patches made in Power Animator from scanned data.
And yes, MTOR/Praman renders very fast Nurbs patches+displacement maps ;)

dimitrios_c : Thanks a lot!!!

Eugeny: Thank you very much for the compliment but OMG I wish I knew only 1% of what Weta 's people know!!! I feel like a very little junior every time I see Weta worshop/digital 's work.
I wish I could work with them one day, as I still have so much to learn from those people.

Thanks a lot all for your posts!!

[Joss]

Jeez! It looks like Paraform is the shit! is there a limit on the poly detail it can generate?

I saw some of the high-detailed nurbs meshes on your site Pascal and wanted to know if that was the use of the displacement map?

[Soulstorm]

awesome, i love the proportions on his face. what did you model this in (software)?

[IronSRS]

WOOW!
I will get nightmares - mhm, well, ok - when iam sleeping sometimes :eek:

Amazing..
Iam looking forward to the textured version.

bye
SRS

[IDownupI]

this lookes like the monster in doom3:applause: :applause: :applause:

[PascalR]

Hey thanks a lot for your kind words!

Joss: Paraform can handle very easily multi million polygons model(as it's a reverse ingeneering tool and works usually from scanned data)
I usually use subdivision poly meshes as a base meshe then i add displacement.
Soulstorm: Thanks a lot, I use Maya for modeling.

Here is a little update... As usual comments are welcome !




Take care,

Pascal

:eek: :applause: amazing!

[Vash T Stampede]

Is he taking a poop?

:D

[golem]

it's amazing, i like it very much, but i don't like the way you decided to solve hands.
dunno... the "pet" looks evil and intelligent enough to handle objects... but there's no way ha can do this without fingers... what do you think about?

golem

[dziwary]

WOW WOW what videocard you have :thumbsup:

[Goro]

OMG!!!
What a detailed character! My respect!!!

Just one question. Is that wireframe the smoothed version?
I guess not. It's insane!

Great work!!:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[DAREONER]

arrrrg vivement la suite, tu va faire quoi pour les poils?

[PascalR]

Hey thanks a lot all!
Goro: The wireframe is the smoothed version ;)
golem: you're right this creature can't handle anything (more like elephant leggs)
DAREONER: Merci messieur:beer: Je pensais me servir de shave and haircut (mais c'est pas pour demain car ma priorité est de faire ma demo reel).

Thanks a lot for your posts!

Pascal

[BgDM]

Just some amazing work.

My only feeling, (not a crit, cause this is awesome), is that he looks so menacing and like he is kicking some major ass, but with all that gut and skin folds, he would be very slow and his enemies could get away pretty quick.

Just an observation.

BgDM

[xeno]

wow, this has got to be one of the most awesome creatures ive ever seen! cant wait to see it finished. I do have to agree a little on the hand thing tho, but hey, its ur beast :)

awesome job!

[PascalR]

Thanks a lotfor your comments BGdm and xeno!

Terrific model as always, i love it :eek:
:beer: well done!:beer:

[Eugeny]

:eek: amazing details :eek: keep it up :thumbsup:

[DAREONER]

mooore more more

[PascalR]

Hey Thanks a lot friends!!
Here is the final detailed body model. I still have to surface it...

[DAREONER]

arrgggg pascal il fait son displace en modeling, ca dechiiiire, j'le suis ton thread

[Klaymen]

OH MY GOD!!! Extremely wonderful work. That monster reminds me of something, where have you got your inspiration from?

[PascalR]

Hey DAREONER: Merci Mssieur! Il faut que je le convertisse en NURBS maintenant (le mesh tel quel fait 1 Million de polys).
A+ Dare!
Klaymen: Thanks a lot for your kind words! My favorite monsters are Rancore, Cave troll, Balrog and Tetsuo terminal phase :)
Thanks a lot all !!

Pascal

[Klaymen]

Thats why i couldnt see why it was looking familiar, because it was a mix between several familiar monsters.. expecially the mouth i see now looks like the rancor mouth, and the horns are from the balrog.. very nice work, that model would send my cpu to the heaven of old burnt-out computer parts :-)

[tomaya]

Convert to nurbs and give him life! You must do that
this character is already a star! go on ! do it !:scream:
Awsome work! And i saw you working on it... ...very fast!:thumbsup:

:beer:

[JFFORTIN]

Shit Pascal its awesom man..............my jaw drop down......................one thing l want to know more about ur technic to convert ur poly into nurbs..................Est ce que tu utilise geomagic ou quelque chose comme sa pour convertir en nurbs ? et est ce que tu utilise ton mesh en polygon pour faire le displacement de ton model en nurbs une fois converi ?
J espere que je suis clair etk J ia hate de voir ton reel .................
T as jamais penser a venir au Canada?

[laker]

man!!!!:buttrock: :buttrock: :buttrock:
Who needs textures when you can model like that!!!

[Washek]

WoooW I can't believe!!! :banghead:
Texture this will be really hard.

[PascalR]

THANKS A LOT ALL!!!!!
I have no time to answer your questions now as I am leaving for a few days.. I will send a longer reply next week!
Thhanks again all!!
A+
Pascal

[PascalR]

Tomaya: Thanks a lot man, I am working on it!! I still have some patch problems to solve, but I will post the mesh when finished :)
JFFORTIN : J'utilise Paraform pour refiner le mesh, faire les patches NURBS et extraire les maps de displace. Pour ce qui est de venir au Canada, j'adorerais venir au Quebec, vers Montréal, car j'ai des amis qui y sont allés et ca a l'air génial!
laker & Washek : Thank you so much for your kind words!

Thanks again for your posts
:beer:
Take care,

Pascal

[briancole]

i love the feet!...something i wouldn't expect to see which is nice!

keep up the kickin' work!

-b

[tummy]

Your work is very characteristic :applause:. I was just wondering how you manage to get that particular look (surfaces with bumps and glue-bridges and detailing)? did you design your own program to import the basic models into? Sorry for all the questions, I'm a frikkin nOOb to complex modeling. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated, Ta :)

[Maya4fun]

Joli Pascal très joli. Tu ne pourrais pas un peu plus m'éclairer sur "Paraform" et ou est-ce que l'on peut avoir une version de démo car je trouve cela bluffant :O .Encore bravo!!:thumbsup:
