Hi All,
forgive me if this is in the wrong section but it is an emergency and I figured people in this forum might notice it faster.

I will pay you for the work. So bascially I need someone to help me light and render 4 camera views.. will pay $$$ but need it ready in one week for a presentation in school. I study architecture in Italy but have other work and model building to do all night. My cinema 4d is giving me errors and I don't have time to waste in trying to figure it out.

The model is ready to go, textured (might need your quick editing to get it better), camera views saved etc... All I'd like is a lit and rendered image of the 4 views in HighDefinition size. NOTE: You do not have to spend too much time .

Let me know via email at xipa1995@yahoo.fr if you can assist me.... I'd say I can pay you $100 for 4 renders that can be done in a few hours. (2 of interior rooms and one exterior view of the building).. they're already textured... let me know asap.. i'll be checking my email anytime.thanks]]> Wed, 14 Nov 2012 16:04:31 +0000 <![CDATA[Re Detailing Dezkin]]> http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=1050456 Posted By: CD4

Hi there,


Here's the result of the time I spent in MARI.
The concept is ready since one month though ... I had absolutely no certainty in participating thoroughly until last saterday, which became a bit short haha. But I gave a go, and here are some shots of different materials ... so, not as final submission. For that reason, I spent some more pleasure-time in tuning some shots.

By the way, the tool is absolutely amazing.
After some struggling with the established workflow through other apps, some major tools quickly become as handy as one would dream of I guess. Other exceptional tools or functions are missing though. Prolly won't take long to get them within the next release.
Really impressed with the texture cache swapping and with the overall huge fileweight handling.

Thx Mr. Plouffe for the inspiring character, and to The Foundry, for that robust tOooooOOoool.


Cheers, and good luck to finalists.
Jeff.

Hi,

The entries are looking great! I didnt end up finishing/wont be entering due to getting distracted and some issues getting in contact for a trial lic extension but thought I would post some oldies of what I did. G'luck to the guys entering


















Overall I think Mari is awesome and glad I got motivated to really learn it. Had alot of fun playing with all the options and seeing how much I could get out of it through just hand painting the color maps and using a photo/hand paint mix for the bumps(paint through/spline warper combo is so handy). Would like to try it out on some more human skin in the future.]]> Mon, 07 Mar 2011 11:52:03 +0000 <![CDATA[Submissions!]]> http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=962816 Posted By: forelle

Hello everyone!

I wish I could have finish the Dezkin and post my WIP's during the last weeks but as most of us, i assume, free time is always a luxury.
Anyway, here is my take on him and some thoughts regarding the software, workflow, character.

I have got very hooked into mari's interface after a few hours and the workflow was something i very much liked since it is pretty straight forward and it allowed me to focus on the task and the task only.
It performed well on my machines (dual quad xeon with 8 gb ram, nvidia gtx 460, and thinkpad i7 with 8gb ram, nvidia quadro nvs 3300). I have got my freezing moments when maya and mari were opened at the same time but i am sure that with a dedicated system it would rock.

The character was a bit of a challenge to me since it incorporated some anatomical features and proportions that were very inspiring.
To me, looking at his hands and legs proportions, he was more of a Anthony and the Johnsons fan than a RATM one, an avid coffee drinker who would prefer the company of fellow artists. Very much into politics and constant citing from Rosa Luxemburg's work. I couldn't see the battered warrior's "shell". I could only see it's spirit, portrayed every weekend with talent and passion at the Imperial Galactic Theater on Saturdays and Sundays.

Kind regards and good luck to all participants,
gagiu

and a bit of photoshop on it:

Hi there,

I'm treating this less like a competition and more like a learning experience. I do hope to finish it in time though!

There's so many questions I want to ask using this program.

Is there snap rotation during navigation?

How can we go about making crisp edges like for fabric seams? Is there a bezier like tool?

Is there layer effects functions like you get in photoshop - like inner glow? if not what's the best way to do such things in Mari.

I have started my texturing but it's a little all over the place as I'm getting used to the software. Here's a rough paint over of what I have in mind!

Thanks!!
