Character: KARLAK 3d model

[dirkusrhombas]

Wow i would love to see that thing textured and turned into a softbody.Jiggle jiggle :P

[JZA]

Wicked stuff. I saw some detailed shots of the head at some other board, cgchat I think, can you post some detailed shot of your final version please? Looks awesome! Impossible to rig & animate I would think, but please prove me wrong! ;)

[PascalR]

Hey thanks a lot for your quick feedback:beer:

dirkusrhombas : Well I hope I will have time to do this but I have to concentrate on my demo reel right now.(I am looking for a job)

JZA: Here is a close up

And a wireframe shot. I think thi model would be pretty easy to rig, as it's made with NURBS patches +displacement ;)

Thanks a lot for your posts!!!
Take care,

[Caman0]

FAN-TAS-TIC!!!!!

perfect job man

[ChewyPixels]

Love it!:thumbsup: The only thing that bugs me is the anatomy of the hands. Looks like this guy's made to walk on all fours, if you know what I mean. Maybe this is your intention, or maybe not. He'd probably look better with some more developed hands. Either way, it's awesome! :beer:

[Goon]

:surprised :applause: I hate one line responces but all i can say is DAMN!

[borchert]

Holy SHHHH.. !!!

That is possible one of the most cool Lovecraftian monsters ever, you have really captured everything I want when I make monsters the mouth is really original and !!! "exhale" wow !!

I can't wait to see it finished and textured!!

[qur]

[rob-beddall]

hey!!:wavey:
looks very cool.
i could be mistaken but i'm sure that i can see the seams in some places, especially the belly area.
what's paraform?
i've never heard of it.
how did you make al the little creases? i noticed they aren't on the nurbs model.
do many people still use nurbs for character creation?
i thought that everybody was turning to sub-d's?
cheers!!

[souleage]

zegritch:So nice the KARLAK model! Are you well get it materials

[-=THE_PUNISHER=]

:buttrock:

[lostdoll]

[Bira]

Really, this very good exactly .....com some details....Congratulations.... You goes to make some animation, too? :applause:

[tomb]

Great work zegritch, you're a maniac! Is that rendered in PRman? How long does he take to render with the displacements?

[tomaya]

eh!eh! Awsome as always pascal :applause: Bravo!
:beer:

[Matt]

Not a bit of Zbrush used? I am amazed.

[dmthurman]

PARAFORM........that's like what $15,000 ouch......That would be a dreamy program for a Rhino user like me.....lol...Great work, Gawd I'd love to get my hands on that program, it seems to only be for the Big boys (Large Corps) at the moment....

[santosLord]

My gosh... do they make that as a been bag.. looks comfortable.. ha.. Hey, Pascal your work just makes me want to try harder.. thanks for the encouragement.. Your work as always is superb..keep up the good work .. take care..

[The-3D-Data-Labs-Guy]

Didn't u use ZBrush? Very Nice...:thumbsup:

[PascalR]

WOW Thanks a lot for your feedback all!
Very Encouraging:beer:
Special thanks to Tomaya (je croyais que t'étais en vacance, Cybercafé?) and Bitos (post your creature RIC!!!)
I used Paraform to refine and surface the poly mesh. But I saw Dave's work on front page, Zbrush (and especially the new release) seems to be really amazing to put details.
Again Thank you so much for your comments!

Pascal

[Levitateme]

my god...

[cgjie]

wow!
so cool work!
amazing detail! I thina it is a great displacement map.
Could you tell me something about displacement map .
I am very interested in it!
I had seen your work before and I like these stuff for
ever!:beer: :beer: :beer:

[xeno]

I already said in the WIP section that i liked it a lot.. Damn this has turned out incredible! the displacement map is incredible! awesome work!

[singleguy]

[p0lym0rph]

verry great modeling job,and now,paps texture?:D

[PascalR]

Hey thanks again for your kind words all:beer:
cgjie: Well , I could tell that maps are square 128*128 generated by Paraform :)
Xeno, singleguy p0lym0rph : THANKS A LOT:beer: :beer:
Take care,

Pascal

[Zohnzeith]

what is Paraform???

Love your model.


Geir...............

[cgjie]

what is Paraform ?
Excuse my poor English.
The dispalcement isn't by hand painted?
thanks!

:thumbsup:

[PascalR]

well, Paraform is an inverse ingeneering tool, used to convert Highrez scanned data into nurbs patch, by many vfx houses.
You can extract displacment maps from your hirez poly mesh.
Cheers!

The reel is cool too, I like the first part alot.

[PascalR]

ILM is currently looking for a creature modeller (Maya and/or XSI)

Have you thought about sending your work?

Your work is amazing with the model... I would like to see some textured one!

I have always dreamed of working at a position like "creature modeler" at ILM. I have just finished to burn my DVD and I am about to send to ILM my Demo reel :) Unfortunately , I can't go to the siggraph right now, so I hope they will review my work before they find someone else...(as I live in France)

[LowJacK]

Question: How did you achieve all of the folds in the skin when you didn't model them in? If you did it with bump or displacement maps, I would love to see them!

Very creative style you have. I've enjoyed all of the work you have posted here at CGtalk. Looking forward to seeing what you create next.

[The-3D-Data-Labs-Guy]

[rayz]

damn thats a great reel..... is the water from the cave a displacement map too, done with zbrush? and all the other characters are very impressive too. :applause:

[18th_Devil]

nice stuff...once u convert them to polys it'll be ready from quake 4 hehe :)

but have u tryed to hide the seams?
i know its a small detail but to me it makes it look like it was molded from plastic.

[CGmonkey]

Wow... I'm amazed by the level of detail you've achieved! Great stuff!

[ZVAN]

very good model.. wow.. nurbs.. what kinda comp u guys use.. to do that lvl of details.. awesome!!!!:applause:

[PascalR]

Hey thanks all for your kind words:beer:
rayz: Thanks a lot! the water is an animated procedural displacement map done with MTOR.
18th_Devil: Quake 4 yeah, that would be great! And you 're right a bout the seems, I think it comes from my version of RAT, i didn't have tis problem with earlier versions.
CgMonkey: Thanks you very much for you post :beer:
ZVAN : Thanks a lot! I can't wait to try the next zbrush version, so that I won't need to make nurbs patch anymore!
Take care,

Pascal
