hey! feel free to say if dislike this comics stile... has been textured in order to obtain it!

[Orbitronio]

Hello and welcome to the board. :wavey:

The character looks ver good. I really like the textures and bump map. Good job :thumbsup:

[golem]

new rendering of the same

[golem]

a "ssshhhttt" version of the concentrated man.

[golem]

this is the forced wireframe of the prev. maybe somebody can find it interesting, maybe not...

[golem]

hi men.
before posting new characters i'd like to read comments and suggestion about this 1st. any kinda questions are well accepted. maybe someone should like to see other rendering... just ask.

thanx

golem

[golem]

mmm... seems nobody take care of this.
let's try again... does isabelle inspire anyone?

character n°2

[Marcinko]

Is this supposed to be a human? If so needs work on the ears.. there is no lobe or shape..The cheeks are too defined in the front of the face and a bit low..the nose is a tad long..and the jaw in not really defined.IMO.Maybe thats what your going for though..If he is human try some references...good start though,keep it up

[golem]

well. it is assumed to be a character. aud i really believe is more important than anything else.
i decided to have no reference and model no iperrealistic shapes cause i wanted a number of puppets i could tell a story with.
did u see "Q8"?
could you say the character's assumed to be human? i only think is a superbe job, able to transmitt you emotions.
go back and focus the lighting style, the walk and run cycles, the eyes...
or "the cathedral" is it assued to be human, well maybe it is, but the main character is the story, the man exploding into wooden column...
are we assumed to be human or just a caricature of them? who cares? whatta kind of feeling are we transmitting? you should try to remember Bill Fleming about his toons... i mean they're something that link human and cartoon, but they take advantage from this.
i know what i modeled, and i know is not realistic, but i remember that 1st time a friend saw n°1 sayd: "whatta hell? is him going to committe a murdering?"

anyway, thanx a lot, surely in next job i'll take more reference, but in this i need something different.

character n°2.
i used her talking head in my own thesis video, introducing people in a new university lab (maybe i'll post some strange expressions she made). the body and the arm are recent job.

another for isabelle

[golem]

as before

[golem]

mmm... never posted any kinda environment from the animation.
this is a frame of it. is postprocessed in order to make motion blur and DOF easier and quicker.
hope someone in there will spend a pair of word about it.
next time i'll cut in two and allow a better picture, bigger and less compressed.

this is a rendering of isabelle's mechanical arm. because i have so few time to develope a nice looknig painting, i'm obliged to use rapid procedural textures... sometimes they look nice, expecilly in bump and displacement channel, sometimes, they not.

as you can see i put no cables or wires in this cause they made lot of problems in quick cinematic, rapid movements, and there's no time to solve heavy IK, skinning or Xform with our deadlines.

hope you like it the same

great work, wonder why no comments
all work looks good and detailed, my personal view im not keen on style but i can see how people could appreciate it. reminds my of nightmares.

[golem]

hello everybody.
this is Bishop, 3th character.
still wip, so i'm waiting for replies and hard critiques.
in particular there's nothing i hate more than painted shave, and i'm seriously thinking to remove it. whatdo you think about?

well... i read better the rules of this forum and decided to post a shaded, wireframe and rendered version of the character. at the moment he misses sholuders and arms, but there's enought to see...

let's start with shaded model...

[golem]

...wireframe...

...rendered...

Like the work, though it's quite low poly - is it for game stuff? The characters have lots of.. er.. character, for want of a better word. The beard looks good though, especially for a painted one. Keep the beard! The colours are quite desaturated, and give it a nice edge.

thanx for your opinion about the fur, the 1st think i'll look for next job is a shave/haircut plugin for max!!!
no friend, is not low poly, but patch modeling. if u give a look at

http://www.cgtalk.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=676328

u will see how a patch looks like if i decide to reveal so called "interior edges"... so, assume this is the model, but subdivided 5 times more...


JHarford ===>
thanx a lot, i'll try to keep high quality in this job...


thanx u all
