Enchanted Forest - Character environement - stereo

[Khar_Negt]

You're finally here... so cool :) 3dvf will rules the challenge if it continue ;-)
Mine will come in the 2d section, nearly complete a sketch :)

Good luck my friend :)

[MikaelPersson]

D-Paint?

[stereo]

My idea is getting more precise:
i m now working on a mix between pixel art and 3D cartoon render
may looks like a game boy screen putted in volume...

[stereo]

ok i just started to model some pixel looking objects...
inspiration comes from gameboy screen, pixel art ...

oldies but goodies...

[Adrien]

I love your idea...
a perfect mix between pixel artwork and 3D.. :-)

[MikaelPersson]

WOW :thumbsup:
but then you should turn of antialiasing and make the aliasing yourself. If you want to be real hardcore. ;)

[stereo]

:))) sure
maybe i m not a real hardcore one :]
i don t have much time on this contest so i will work by small period.
hope i ll finalize: i must have a giant robot very basic in the background that comes to the cam, he should be handling some saw...i m now modelling and i ll see after about the character design.:bounce:

[MikaelPersson]

But you should be able to do the modelling real fast if you´re going to stick with the pixel aspect (extruded bitmaps). Just draw them in illustrator and extrude.

[stereo]

that s exactly what i m doing .....
the longest part is that i have to draw pixel elements and it s not so fast as U could imagine :))):rolleyes:

i m not an expert in pixel art so i have to check each point to see if it is correct or too heavy for the object design .....


see U :]

[stereo]

just a test ...

:p

[MikaelPersson]

You could try shading the trees with pixels too.
Maybe you should stick with the grey scheme. Choose one color scale and stick with it. Don´t be tempted to add colour to the sky.

[mori_leo]

GREAT!
Must be given some stars.
I like your strange and special method to express.
:bounce: :thumbsup: :love: :beer:

[leigh]

Hey that's starting to look really cool! :eek:
I actually think the colour is cool (the blue sky) - you should use those nasty shades of pink and green that you always get in those old games as well.
What kind of creature are you going to do? You should do a couple of little Bubble Bobble style dragons! :bounce:

[The Time Serpent]

COOL!!!:applause:

[Koma]

original idea ,really cool:bounce: :thumbsup:

[Putois_Blagueur]

I think you should scale all the pixels so they have the same size. It would be nice to see a beautiful dragon in this gameboy forest.... no ?

[hypercube]

That totally rules. :thumbsup: Awesome concept. I think if you do go for colour I'd try for like 16 or under, very super mario. Look forward to seeing how this turns out.

I like the effect of the unreflected reflection, too..maybe add a pixel line around the lake so it matches?

[stereo]

i m happy to see that many people like this concept.

i m preparing 3 creatures: ground air water and a erally bad one that want to destroy the forest

here are some inspiration:

kirby mario norman mc laren(typo) and old japanese toys like this one that i think it would be perfect but non pixel looking
i m hesitating about colors(16).....

see U:hmm:

Le congrès brésilien est en train de voter en ce moment un projet qui
réduira de 50% la taille de la forêt amazonienne.


La zone qui sera déforestée équivaut à 4x la taille du Portugal et sera
destinée à l'agriculture et à l'élevage. Le bois sera vendu par de
gigantesques multinationales sur les marchés internationaux.
L'élevage et l'agriculture sont la principale cause de déforestation en
Amazonie.
Le but de ces nouvelles exploitations est principalement de produire plus de
viande et de céréales destinées aux marches des pays industrialises, dont
les productions en la matière sont déjà
largement excédentaires. Chaque année en Europe, d'immenses stocks de
céréales sont détruits.
La logique du système est celle-ci : on ne peut demander aux entreprises de
baisser leur production afin d'éviter le mécontentement que susciterait une
baisse de bénéfices; on ne peut écouler ces stocks sinon le prix des
marchandises s'effondrerait. Par ailleurs, l'équilibre écologique de la
foret amazonienne est très fragile pour la simple raison que cette
luxuriante foret a paradoxalement pousse sur une très mince
couche d'humus que seule le cycle perpétuel de la foret peut maintenir. Sans
ce cycle, les sols deviennent immédiatement arides et les zones deforestees
désertiques. De nombreuses exploitations agricoles sont d'ores et déjà
abandonnées aujourd'hui pour cette raison. Les gigantesques quantités de
carbone qu'elle a absorbées et qui sont détenues dans le bois seront libers,
aggravant le dérèglement climatique et les catastrophes qui en découlent.
Empêchant de surcroît a jamais qu'une autre foret de cette qualité ne
repousse et ne vienne suppléer au recyclage du carbone en oxygène. Pas
besoin de vous expliquer les autres dangers de cette déforestation, comme la
disparition de la biodiversite, vous les connaissez déjà.

voila . je pense que cela va vous aider a mieux cerner le sens de mon image....


this is a new render test:

see you

[three]

cool looking stuff you've got there :)
Personally I could do without the guys with chainsaws... but that's me :D
still, fuggin cool setup... love it. Original... allmost surreal art :p

take care... and keep those updates coming :wip:

[Koma]

tres cool ,c est vraiment chiant qui est du monde cave sur cette planete l'argent est roi pour la plupart du temps malheureusement je souhaite bonne chance a cette foret et continu ton bon travail !!!

sincerement Gabe

[eirenicon]

That's one of the funniest 3d scenes I've seen in forever! Great stuff. I'd love to see it animated! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[ZrO-1]

That is really really cool. It's looking so good. And such a great idea. :applause:

[stereo]

i m changing perspective to match old scrolling games....
so that we could better see under the trees.
i deleted montains and made a map also like in old 8 bits games
i also tried colors(16) but it wasn t satisfy..


thanks again to pay attention to this graphical aspect.:wavey:

i had an idea yesterday: in fact this forest could be the home of all characters from famous classic olg 8 bits games?
like yie ar kungfue pac man boulderdash things like that..

lets back to heavy searches

[meathead]

That's very cool. It is out of the ordinary, you know.

[stereo]

still in progress

i will soon add the island and a mario styled coconut :))))))

[cyroz2000]

Very cool, and really original! :bounce:

I really like your design but I got just one or two comments:

-Why not creating your objects with a box per pixel, not just extruding 2d shapes, it could let you add some volume to your shapes ...
-I think some holes between the branches of the tree could be interesting ...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
En tout cas mec, ça dechire et c'est une belle bouffée d'air frais ici, pour moi ça merite bien quelques étoiles!

salut
merci pour le commentaire

a vrai dire j ai logtemps hesité a utiliser comme tu me l a suggéré une grille de reference pixel mais j ai eu peur de perdre la lisibilité de l image surtout au nieau de la foret...

ce rendu me convient pour l instant, je vais contraster les les differents plans par la suite et je pense q un unique element de couleur va venir se placer sur l ile.

ton image est tres bien aussi(entre tron et space invaders) participes tu au concours ?

merci encore ++

[cyroz2000]

Merci pour le comment Stereo, en fait le delire Space invader-Tron, j'y ai pensé un moment mais j'hesite un peu, le maillage c'est juste pour montrer, en fait c'est un cube que j'ai dupliqué quelque millier de fois, ça va me servir pour une sequence de jeu video pour le film d'un pote et il n'y aura pas les contours: un petit delire a la Space Invaders-Zaxxon-Viewpoint...avec des grosses explosions et des mouvement de cam de ouf!

Pour ce qui est du Challenge de ce mois ci, je me tate encore un peu, j'fais des tests dans un style cartoon mais pour l'instant j'ai pas d'idée precise, wait and see donc...

En tout cas au risque de me repeter: ça dechire mec(surtout pikachu et kirby)
:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[GrAnt]

Really really original, brings back plenty of memories....excellent job!

[stereo]

here an image showing real size maps :surprised




the forest will be a place for the rest of old school game heros
:lightbulb
so i have many creatures to make then i have to add a soft and coloured light and to play on contrast...

let s back to work

[ZrO-1]

@Sterio: If you decide to do an animation I thought this could be a humorus music piece for it.

Damn you have mean webhost. With Getright I get to 99%, normal windwos downloading window 99% too, and straight with mediaplayer and it downloads to 99.65%... and stops... and ofcourse no resume support...

[stereo]

i ll re upload in a few minutes

sorry

[OZ]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEH!!! :eek: AMAZING!.......this is true good CGI!! Ur scene is so original,cool and clear!THIS IS THE WAY MAN!!!!:buttrock: 5 stars!

[Teyon]

This is so cool. I love the idea and the way you carry it out.

[.overflowed]

Great and very cool both stils and that short.
Nice design of this saw-robot.

[stereo]

may you ll recognize them....
my head hurts tonight, so i won t continue....

see later for incoming updates
thanks again all:wavey:

[ZrO-1]

hehehe yeah sweet! I like the scale of the characters in relation to one-annother now. Some of the scale in your earlier pics bugged me.

[stereo]

this is a small update...
i go back to work to paint/model new characters....
new update soon
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/stereographik/pixrender.jpg

[Adam Klein]

weiiiird!

the question marks... I'd say ditch them , the thing that makes things seem busy is that they have the illusion of having a little life in there. The marks make it seem like they are all clueless

forcing jaggies, now that's different, I think one of the issues may be the jaggy levels, like on Yoshi he is very jagged, but the robot is only a little bit ya know

keep it up:beer:

[stereo]

my mother board crashed on my computer and my domain s host closed my account without any reason......so it may be the ultimate image on this challenge :(

..maybe i will start a new scene....








oh and more again i will have to find a new company soon...

:[

[pearson]

Sorry to hear about your misfortune.:hmm: This was a cool concept.

[pcbehmer]

:bounce:
kung-fu year rulez, hehehehehe
Nice concept, i loved!!!

[Iguiniz.X.]

You just allarmed me to make some backup of my own stuff.
Did you know that in adapect Cd creator there is a little programm
with which you can format your CD and then burn files to the Cd by only draging it to the CD burner and then when you don't close the CD( burn it so no files can be added) ( the name is CD Wizard) really handy
this way you can keep your backups and don't have to burn every time a new CD.
To bad your scene was deleted. I really liked it but it got a bit over crowded. or lets say I had teh feeling that the characters were put randomly in the scene.

wel good luck next challenge and with finding a new Job/company

[ZrO-1]

In windows that program is called "Direct CD" you can 'directCD-format' a CD-RW (not sure about CD-R) that woks like a floppy or Zip disk. You don't have to burn the whole CD at once. It's a nice feature, but it is slower than doing a full burn.

[Wancieho]

I'm not trying to stir a hornet's nest but come on, how does this get 4 stars? The idea is cool but this is not the 80's (if you know what I mean).

I don't mean to offend Stereo but from your Avatar i'm sure you could do better than this:)

Hey it's just my opinion.

[Totitch]

Terrible!

5 étoiles parce que c'est bon délire et mon vote parce que ça a le mérite de sortir du lot! :thumbsup:

Mais y'a encore pas mal de truc que tu pourrais ajouter...
N'oublie pas Link!!! ;)

[Wancieho]

5 stars because it is good is delirious and my vote because that has the merit to leave the batch! But y' does not have yet badly a trick which you could add... Do not forget Link!!!

eh? english?:)

[stereo]

thank u very much all ! :)

i may have my computer back very soon with my harddrive inside(not deleted), i had to send all the station back for garanty reasons :rolleyes:

so i may add some more details and play on lights more .
i ll add link if the computer comes soon :]

thanks again

cheers all:surprised

[samartin]
