[wick3dsono]

hi there. i prefer the 1st sketch, it's more 'secret agent' to me. IMHO

[Terraplex]

yeah, the lower angle is cooler in my opinion too. I'm excited to see more of this.

[robo3687]

i see it's a battle of the gadgets....good luck

Nice concept Neil !
Can't wait to see whatwill be next !

[nandlaskar]

good start buddy. liked the blue colors. keep it up. will come back for more updates. :)

[diissar]

nice update,i like the mood on your image :applause:

good luck

[walrus]

Nice mood and lighting! I like the model, too - it feels like you build it out of cardboard, somehow. I like the slightly lower camera angle from post #2, but with the helicopter in it. Is the main character just going to be ignoring it, or will he be responding in some way or in any kind of an action pose? Anyhow, good luck with it and have fun! :thumbsup:

ok here we go the base mesh for my secret agent..

He is a mixture of cyborg and alien and human..base mesh is kinda cobbeled together with some bits of reworked older models and new stuff but i am happy with it.

now to UV map, Rig , POSE and sculpt!

a quick mock up of pose and `tude !

cheers

[Heozart]

Wow, I can't wait to see how this turns out, but I really love the early WIP stages. They kinda look like some kind of cool paper models. I think I prefer the way he is kinda leaning into the car to standing straight up.

[digitalinkmind]

Nice camera angle...reminds me a character from William Gibson´s novels. Looking foward:thumbsup:

[Ferx]

Hey Neil,

compistion is now finalised

will start texturing the agent soon and add some flying things

cheers

[authentic]

the "blue roof" we see at the left of the picture, is that a far building or just a part of the building he stands with just a step to go down ? If it's a buiding far away as I think, the color is too near to where he stand to understand that really. I don't know if my english is really understandable ;)

[apumia]

really I like ur lighting ... It's good

WOODAN ..... the secret agent (http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=291&t=784222)

[walrus]

I don't think this new layout is working as well as some of your earlier ones. The roof he's on looks like it's only 6 feet deep... or that he's really really huge to be taking up so much of it. His pose looks right when you show the orthographic views of it, but in the composition, it feels like he's leaning strangely to the left... maybe it's just the perspective. I keep wondering, what's he leaning against? There's no car anymore to lean on! Anyhow, sorry for the crits. You've still got a great mood and a great start... I just liked him better when he was on the ground. :shrug: Good luck! :thumbsup:

Hi

working more on the buildings.. will add a flying car chasing thing to complete the scene then finished with the 3d part and onto painting in PS.

cheers

ok so i changed the pose as i was never happy with that and now tweaked the lighting..

i think i prefer this one actually. will
add more signs etc..

by the way the sign says suassage and tuna and not massage and sauna :-)

cheers

[Srulik24]

Great job

Here is my final image fo rthe secret agent challenge.

The agent is trapped on the roof tops of a future city by the floating police cars.

He has no where to go and top secret information that he must keep safe.

thanks
