Moe's, Victor Hugo Queiroz (3D)

[BicKet]

This is just great

i'm a big fan of the simpsons and would really like to see an episode in full 3D....

[Z03R]

Great job, it´s really hard to model in 3D a 2D character, I made two years ago a model of Obelix and it takes lots of time.

Congrats, 4 stars

[X-PanDer]

Haha, you captured everything really nice! The glass and beer shaders are great too.

Although, I believe that the Duff beer bottle is brown in the episodes and not green. :P

But all in all, very nice picture!

[leemale]

That's really cool. Great atmosphere. Expressions are spot on! :)

[Nayar]

Dho'!

5 stars

[vitorugo]

Hi again!
Hahaha! Everybody, so much thank you for the comments! And yeah, we all hope for a 3D Simpsons episode! Hahaha!

---

X-PanDer: You can see the brown bottle behind Homer! The "green bottle" idea was to be something like a "Premium" version of the conventional Duff, so that explain why this one it's green! Thanks for the c+c! ;D

ronaldomiranda: Cara, foi usado o FG pra dar um rebatimento legal e tal, os tons mais escuros foram carregados na pós! Abraço!

Soon I'll be posting an Ambient Occlusion! ;D

[Artbot]

Really nice job there!

While they haven't done a whole episode in 3D afaik, Homer appeared in 3D in a Halloween special way back in the early days of the series (when 3D was much more difficult to produce and far more expensive).

I forget the season, maybe season 4, but Homer went through the Poltergeist-like hole in his living room wall and came out in 3D on the other side. It was only about half an episode, and the environment was simple/almost non-existent, but he was in 3D. It also had a classic line when he arrives in the 3D world and says, "Man this place looks expensive!"

If you do a little research on that episode, you'll find that all the stuff Homer runs into on the 3D side are in-jokes or references from the early days of graphics computing.

[kleber3d]

hi man! fantasctic work! congratulations, i loved the lights! colors...

5 stars for me *****

[Destructor007]

awesome work
Five Stars\m/

[Michael5188]

This is amazing! Really captures the bar and characters perfectly! I'd love to see more scenes/characters!

[Matasorapit]

Awesome work. I like how you have done this image. Realistic but in its own true form. Great choice of material style.

[Xode]

I agree, phenomenal Image, but i do have one criticism.. How can that possibly be Moe's tavern without Barney being in attendance? he should at least be drunk and passed out behind Homer there. ;)

[selwy]

Fantastic work!!!
Best regards, Selwy

[DrZenith]

Oh my god, this is stupidly awesome.

I could swear this is a photo of some figurines.

This render just made my day. Thankyou. 5 stars for sure!!!

[TimeBandit]

Dohh! This is well done..I appreciate the gang's time and effort put into this.
TB-

[stroggtank]

I agree, phenomenal Image, but i do have one criticism.. How can that possibly be Moe's tavern without Barney being in attendance? he should at least be drunk and passed out behind Homer there. ;)

Guess who took the picture... :P (ok, in one of his sober days)

Great job!, and not only because i´m another Simpsons fan, but cause the great modeling, lighting and detailing, I love the warm and happy mood of the scene, makes me want a cold Duff... D´Ouh!

cheers!

Carlos

[AIR]

Brilliant, nothing to criticise, just enjoying the atmosphere!! THX!

[Bignanfer]

Nice work, greating lighting and composition, love the details you put into the scene!

[MadnesS]

Congratulations for the award, well deserved ...

[K-Funky]

OMG this is fantastic !!! I love it very much 5* :)

[Felixenfeu]

It's the best piece of art inspirated by the Simpsons i have ever seen. The modeling, the mood, everything is fantastic. Good work :) 5*

[shy-guy]

That put a smile on my face :). Really great work. I love the modeling and the lighting of the scene.

The only thing that kind of weird me out at first was the big difference between the stylized characters against a very photorealistic enviroment... but meh, i think the result its awesome! Congrats guys :thumbsup:

[Dharroun]

So thats where Homer went after ended up in the real world all those years ago!
When he got sucked into the vortex...

Da, da, da-dada-da, da-da-ddadun...

[Tombery]

Great Modeling Work!
I like just as "Super Real Simpsons"
Only the mimik and the Beer Shadow Light is not perfect,
but the Bar is very great ditels with a nice characteristic yellow rubbery material Style. :D
4* is for me over the top from great work :)

[madm4tt]

Great atmosphere, shaders & characters...

De hi ho D'oh!!

Bye

[Chicano3000X3]

Amazing! 5 stars. Reminds me of the episode where homer gets stuck in the 3rd dimension. Good work. :)

Funny picture, I like it. :applause:

[ldgree]

Amazing work , the best 3d simpsons i see , in my opinion . xD

[Polarprod]

this is a good and cool scene:D, and I also have to say that you have a really cool name as a fan of the author Victor Hugo:D

[Ledger]

The lighting and shaders are really nice! great work

[cheng-long]

woow really nice i love it.
5 stars for me

[Svenart]

great work, like it alot:)

[oliveUK]

man this is awesome. I don't visit Cgtalk very often but you really made my visit worth it today.

Have the characters been modeled in the pose or in a default pose then rigged and posed using a rig? I would so like to animate those guys!

Any chance we could get a wireframe view of the scene?

PDI did the Homer 3d Christmas special in 1995 by the way, few years before Antz.

Well done again.

[blackberryf1]

wow! this is awesome man! :eek: great work! a lot of details! fantastic lighting! congratulations! :applause: FOX should hire you and start the production of a new 3D episode!

[geniussteam]

wow~it is great !!

[Al-Kabeer]

Excellent work… Keep it up!

[SpAiK]

Wow! This is just amazing! I started a model of Homer some time ago and I can say that it's really difficult to capture all the shapes and proportions, and the personality of Homer.

5 stars!!

[Crafty1980]

Wow! This is just amazing! I started a model of Homer some time ago and I can say that it's really difficult to capture all the shapes and proportions, and the personality of Homer.

5 stars!!

I totally agree! I've tried SO many times to do a Simpsons scene but I just get so frustrated about never getting it right! :(

I'd love to see this turn into a mini tutorial/bigger article or something (if you've ever got time of course). Especially with the shaders and lighting! ABSOLUTELY SUPERB!

I've been staring at it for about the past 10mins now and just can't find a flaw! Incredible!

Huge congrats on the work!
How long has it taken you?

[vitorugo]

Hahaha! Thanks again for the comments!

@Polarprod
If I tell that I've never read any of his books, would you believe me? hahaha!

@oliveUK
Right now we're a little busy with another works, but soon we post a wired version of it! Thanks!

@blackberryf1
Thanks! Hahaha! Yes, it would be great a new 3d episode!

@SpAik & Crafty 1980
It's really hard to do Homer's proportions and don't make him look odd! To tell the truth, we "lied" on his eyes position. If you follow Homer's front proportion, you never gonna achieve those "snaped" eyes look! ;D
About the time, wow, it's took a LONG time, because we have about one hour per day to do it...!

Cheers! :buttrock:

[oscarcastellanos]

jajajaj muy bueno me entanta

[TheAlex]

oops double post

[TheAlex]

Excellent stuff, though is it possible to get some more life in those eyes?

[koansah]

Flawless!!

[ShiftyMaco]

Great work,

Especially love the two bottles of JD at the top left & the effect of the mirror.

:beer: Cheers

[AndHolzmeister]

Very fodão! ;)

[Infuscos]

Amazing truly. All this time I was very interested in seeing how a 3D simpson would be like...This image shows a lot. Now I really would love to see a 3D simpson episode. Keep it up...:thumbsup:

Haven't you seen Treehouse of Horror VI ? xD.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treehouse_of_Horror_VI#Animation

---

And the image is great =]

I like the way you've got the bubbles and foam etc in the beer, it has to be my favourite part of it :drool:

:beer: Keep up the good stuff

(and is that JD in the left hand corner? :buttrock: )

[TheDistiller]

You strongly brought the feeling of The Simpsons into the third dimension !

[Torch]

Pretty wonderful. It's very claymation style!!
Legal pra caramba!! ;)

[xavierlight]

I love the simpsons, its a great work!!! ;)

[betapilot]

Great work, love the expressions and vibe.

[frix]

lovely work :)

Just a minor thing. I probably would have added a small specular highlight to the eyes. To bring them more to life and have a different feel than the skin shader.

[Migsta]

Very cool image!!!

[Cizephy]

Hello, nice job!!
Shoudn't be Homer reflected on the mirror as well??
Cya!

[BoarderDave]

hah, sweet. That's very cool. Great job. :)

[Rockersound]

Congratulations man!, excelent work!

Moe looks great!

[D4riel]

HOmerrrrrrrrrr ......:D NICEEEEEEE

[DanielWray]

This is fantastic, you've really pulled off this render and captured the look and feel of the characters.

I have one crit though, isnt homer missing from the reflections in the mirror behind moe?

[ewerybody]

nicely done!! :]

for the critics: the skin looks a little to shiny to me like they are sweating slightly. Homers left eye does not seem to aim at you, his nose seems attached and Moes hair is not anything like hair... If you step back the scene has a claylike static impression to me.

But I'm impressed how perfect the shapes are catched. You could just draw an outline on them and would fit I guess.:thumbsup: The sussounding is superb and beer looks yummy as well.

[TurboTronix]

AMAZING! Can you PM me a larger resolution? I want to make this my desktop wallpaper (1080p).

[Tokis]

Muito Foda

Parabéns

[caneration]

my fav man homer! great job man!

[marvdogg]

Your team should animate a short of Moes just like this.This would be impressive.
GREAT WORK!!!

[manishthorat]

Hey Victor,

Thats a really awesome image.

I am trying to get a similar look for my animation project. Can you share the process of getting the final output in detail, it will really help me, thanks in advance

MANISH

[vitorugo]

Wow! So many comments to reply...! haha! Well, let's go:

Cizephy, Daniel8488:
Hahaha! No, Homer isn't missing on the mirror, in the beginning we thought the same, but it's phisically correct, odd I confess, but correct! By the way, a great observation! haha! Tks for comment!

ewerybody:
If you take a look on homer's eyes (on tv series) you will note that his eyes don't aim exactly for the same direction, this help a lot for composing his dumb appearance. About Moe's hair, if you make a test with a "real" hair, dude, it's veeeery scary! haha! :surprised

http://idealtv.uol.com.br/blog/annedias/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/homer.jpg - see? he's cockeyed! haha!)

manishthorat:
Of course, but there's nothing much to share, to tell the truth! heh! On post production we just added some "fog ambience", color corrections and the DOF, everything else was made on render!
If I can help you in something else, don't think twice! Tks for comment! ;D

TurboTronix:
Sorry dude, but right now we don't have a bigger one to send! We're working on it! :wip:

Tokis:
Valeeeeu velho! hahaha! Brasil Rox! hahaha!

[manishthorat]

Hey Victor,

That was a quick reply, i wanted to know what shaders u used and which passes did u render ?? I am a little newbie at this stuff, i saw the ambient occlusion pass that u rendered, i want to know what other passes did u render and what blending mode did u use ??

Am sorry i am asking all the secrets to creating that awesome image of urs, but i surely need to know

Thanks again

MANISH

[vitorugo]

manishthorat:
You're in a lucky day, dude! My last post here was 2 weeks ago! hahaha!
That AO pass was not used on render! It was only made to post here, to show the models and lights. All the other passes were common passes like ID (for a detailed selection. it's very useful for color corrections), reflection, refraction, specular and some masks! 80% of the shaders in scene were ArchDesign, the rest it's a mix of Mental Ray FastSSS (oh God, thank You for giving us this shader! hahaha!) and Standards (they're quickly to render, useful to speed up your render!)

Dude, there's no secrets here, but something VERY VERY useful was something called teamwork! Ask other people opinions it's so important! Not only the "3d inner circle" (foruns and all this stuff), ask your mother, sister, neighbor, everyone! The rest you found in tutorials over the internet! :D

Everybody has something to teach, everybody has something to learn. - Never forget! ;)

[vjeganmohan]

i love simpsons...5 stars from me

[JuanCarlosRomo]

wooowww really awesome! congrats to all the team involve in the project! great job!:beer:

[shaunchap]

This is just great

i'm a big fan of the simpsons and would really like to see an episode in full 3D....

They did a 3D episode in 1995 or 1996. Best quote was Homer standing at the intersection of XYZ and saying something like, "I don't know where I am, but it feels real expensive".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKQ8Ilr6PgU

[JacobCarmona]

Great work! Maybe the best conversion 2D-3D made ever of the simpsons.
5 stars.

[phoenix]

HolyShit this is really sweet. i am Die hard fan of the Simpsons and man u nailed it impressively great job


regards

[Neimar]

hey friend!!! nice job!
five stars.

Neimar

[Sampei]

unbelievably good, I think Matt Groening would be flattered seeing this :D

[alexmaxjohn]

Haha, you captured everything really nice! The glass and beer shaders are great too.

Although, I believe that the Duff beer bottle is brown in the episodes and not green. :P

But all in all, very nice picture!

My friend,
Its the new duff mint.
havent u seen this episode ?
Moes is explaining the types of beverages he has in there.
he talks about 10 different types of duffs.
and you can see classic duff in the back ground.

[robsonleonel]

E ae Hugo beleza cara.

Meu quero dar meus parabéns pelo seu excelente trabalho brother.
Ficou muito bom e criativo sua idéia. Os detalhes sensacional, curti mesmo.
Queria uns conselhos onde posso começar a práticar mais no 3d max, já que estou no inicio.
Primeiramente estou criando cenários acho muito interessante.

abraços

[AdanVC]

I love the simpsons!, and this is pure art! amazing brother

[OlirO]

fantastic work !
I really like the atmostphere of the scene !
Really impressive.

[supersophei]

I love it!
good job!

[lkr]

pure awesomeness!

[GhostDogStudio]

Thanks for posting the AO image.

[volkan986]

Just love it ...

[newellteapot]

awesome!
so funny!
great materials light and models.
I remember that (very old) episode of the Simpsons were Homer appears in 3D in the real world just before the titles, was so surreal

[animeagan]

Love it!!!

Man, I'd love to see them animated. :)

[janks]

This is really nice image.. Do you by any chance have higher resolution version of this to share? It would make a great desktop background (cropped to 1920x1200).. :)

[vitorugo]

Hi everybody!
First of all, thanks for all the comments! haha! It's so great to read all those c+c! ;D

janks:
Sorry dude, but right now I don't have one! I've made some high resolution renders (something about 5000px) but unfortunately we are all too busy here on the studio... maybe soon I post it for you all!

Thanks again! ;D

[JGavin]

nice job. Love that image so much.

[RyanLT]

nice job, i love this image!

[KevinHaemmerle]

I love it, great job on the liquids and enviornment.

[mortezanajafi]

great work

[TjK]

Great job - makes me feel like I could be there having a drink with Homer!

[jazzyface]

hi, great job my only critics is that homer looks weird in a bad way i dnt lik his hair, i luv the lightings n moe luks great, 4* frm me! :thumbsup: :applause:

[cgjoker]

WOW,Amazing lighting !

[Chigonton]

i love how you did this the Simpson has always been my favorite. i do wish they made 1 episode that it was completely 3D .

[Moebius]

Excellent work!

Modeling, blocking, environment, textures, lighting... superb work. Difficult to keep the charm and character of a 2D cartoon when it makes a transition to the unforgiving precision that the 3D medium sometimes demands. You've done an outstanding job here!

Cheers! — Möe

[WhiteLynx]

Great Work!! Love it!!

Muito bom!! Muito bem feito e trabalhado!!

[zanubea]

this picture reminds me of how i watched the simspson my whole life. its also brings to life a cartoon that been out for decades. and i like 3d

[ailu]

Is nice, always imagined Moe´s tavern more dirty.. should be some rats and more dirty beer mugs :P

[Niber]

ARRRRRGGGGGH why cant the simpsons videogames look like this?! (not talking about the prerender super quality, but just the style)

[Widam3D]

Great.. :beer:
Salut, prost, sante!, cheers, for that great pic.

[franciscorq]

Congratulations on making this perfect image, love everything about it!

[plusnoir]

First of all, great work. I'm really impressed!

But I have a question.

Right now I'm trying to model Homer's head 2. But I get som problems. SO I wanted to ask, wether you could give me some tips.

- What technique did you use?(boxmod.?)
- did you create the head first and then added the mouth?

2 me it would just be a fortune if u described the most important steps in this work and could give me some tips. I'm a noob, started modelling not so long ago and thought homers head doesn't look that complicated. I was wrong :(

greets

once again great work

[DesignPro]

Good job to you and your team! Great work! It's like an exact scene from the show. =)

[Riozaki]

Very Nice! A great rendition to america's #1 comedy.

[phoenix]

Ah lovely work.. :)

Regards

[PeterSatera]

Great interpretation of the Simpsons in 3D! Great stuff!

[mana1ec]

Yeahhh! Homer my favourite character! :)

[Jydekris]

This is so awesome. I love the rendering:thumbsup:

[Wilson-3d]

Great work Victor! Love it!

[aaronynx15]

Nice scene, it really captures the essence of these characters. To bad after SOPA this image will be taken down. :(

[redroyal]

I love simpson!!
this is great.
BTW, how did you make beer foam?? can you give me a tip?? look so good!!

[reverseengineering]

Reminded me so much of that Simpsons episode where Homer and the cast are 3-D digitalized. Good job.

[cgriver]

Great work!
