heres a test of her flight, and lighting: http://www.warproductions.com/maya/b17test2.avi

since all the textures are completely hand painted without ANY photo work or retouching heres a small clipping of the texture of the engine: http://www.warproductions.com/texture.jpg

since we have 2 weeks left you will see everything complete within 2 weeks or i fail :)

all animations will be completed withing 6 months i hope ;)

since ive gotten 50000 replies in 3 days i decided to update the face :p :thumbsdow more to come today.

im a little confused as to what direction to take on the character . oh well we'll see what happens.http://www.warproductions.com/pilot_new.jpg:p

[elfufu]

http://www.warproductions.com/pilot_new2.jpg another view. as you can see i totally changed direction yet again. i was hesitant to even add another image since i have yet to even receive 1 comment i probably should just let this thread die.

throw me a bone :hmm:

[RmachucaA]

your character model reminds me of a person i really dislike that has the same modeling characteristics, so i cant give you an accurate comment

B-17 looks sweet though:)

[elfufu]

yehaaaw after 4 days we have 1 commment.

he looks like my model or he models like me? im confused?

[RmachucaA]

he models like you, the way your character is modeled looks like his modeling, not to say that it is bad modeling, in fact yours is 10x better then his modeling.

Your b-17 is a nice piece of work tho.

Quote"Nothing is completed yet"....
I guess thats why its in the WIP gallery.;p

Looks good to me.
I would really like to see wires if possible.

All nurbs huh....you might want to post shaded also...

What software did you use...?Maya I am assuming....

theres not many nurbs guys on this forum is there?

[AlexAlvarez]

Heya...

well, my main problem with your character is that the face looks squished in the middle.... as if you applied a lattice and scaled the center row of lattice points in... while a character's face could have this overall shape, the problem is that -all- of the features are exhibiting this. So I would fix that.

Aside from that, the overall idea/design/forms are working pretty well. Are you doing this for a class or for yourself?

A.

[elfufu]

hmmm how could i fix this then? any ideas? are you suggesting i use a lattice again to even out the center?

i'll try it out and see, the hourglass feel was kinda intentional though. actually i got so sick of everyone in school calling my character jesus that i just threw some deformers on him to get them off my back.

this is for daniels class (organic), concepts for feng/hung (production design) class and plane for taos class (surface modeling)

hopefully by term 3 i can start animating this guy.:p

[elfufu]

http://www.warproductions.com/pilot_leather.jpg need to sleep. heres some updates, leather looks like plastic. :annoyed: i really need to get me bodypaint 2.


zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[elfufu]

since term 2 is over for me tommorow i better have this plane done and looking good enough for class. hope i get an A.. heres my b17http://www.warproductions.com/hangar.jpg

Not much constrast.
I would imagine that even if it's night, then there should be even more constrast.

[RmachucaA]

Your b17 seems like it has the rear landing gear in mid-air?the rear should be touching the ground almost.

[Joss]

in your B17 night render, how did you do the clouds? is it Fluid Effects?

[wgreenlee1]

I like it....the pilot and everything.

The nighttime pic does need a little work with the lighting but overall I would give you an A.:thumbsup:

[elfufu]

hey guys thanks for the response.

Neil: i agree completely the night scene needs better lighting, ive been trying to do a Mental ray render but for some reason the planes shading networks are crashing it eveytime.

Joss : fludi effects yes however i rendered it out the cluds alone, tweaked them in Photo Shop then reimported it as a camera plane. this reduced the rendering time.


RmachucaA : damn you busted me, i have a newer render which i'll post later with the rear landing gear. like i said i was seriously short on time.

wgreenlee1: thanks dude i hope i get one
