Latest Update: Modeling: iroko 01 some detail

Hi

My first challenge, no good skill in 3D still beginner in this matter and worst English but pa’ lante, the concept is based in this history:

The great master sorcerer Cuban tata o’malanga, discover very old ritual of the Osha, who give the name of the sentence “making conscience”, sprinkle (pitch) a little plant very gentle care to rise in your mind for this come and sleep in the guateque (party) of this tata is no the best form to end, only is you want to convert in one of the living moving irocos plant.

Best wishes.

interesting concept! I like the sketch, I hope to see more.

hey very interesting idea and the characters r looking very funny.... welcome to the challange bro.. have fun and best of luck!!

Hi

This storyboard is a excuse to call this animation, I star to think maybe I wrong to go for animation but i have a little experience in traditional animation and some in rigging but with the rig etc is a great time to do something nice.

To understand the story here a few explanation:

Close up of ear we see drop a seed and star to grow inside of this - the camera travel in zoom back, and show the scene of the concept, and close to the eyes of the poor guy and I use a fast change and go to the optic of the guy, and see a close-up image subjective of the Irocos and Tata face.

This all, I hope I can finish.

All comments and critics are welcome.

PS. Sorry for my English, lucky for you never listen my tarzan spoke.

i beging to model one off the character they are very simple because i want animate and i not good animator with complex mesh.

CHIKO: thanks

OVERCONTRAST: thanks i try to do something not influence by anime style or european, very hard to do we see this all the time, and are good i try to rescue the latinoamerican culture in all my works, you know with sabor!!!,jeje bye.

nice, he's the evil one right? he looks like a bully.
I'm waiting for more.

Hi

Beging 2 character, very simple is only the basic mesh wire.

Hi

The Tata smooth, the hair and cloth I do later with dynamic not model, for speed the animation, well I try, some time the cloth simulation are very hard and is better cloth poly and some reactor in vertices, I not sure for this in this moment, any comments and critics are welcome.

Ania – yes is the evil, thanks I try to spend more time in this because I am very slow and when I see the others works I feel I need more practice and speed jeje.

Hi

Smooth of second same dinamic, cloth and hair later.

Hola Gustavo, me gusta muchiisimo la idea! Great idea and very original approach! A Osha ritual sounds cool man!! and the design of characters is really nice with a unique style, great latinoamerican touch!! (sabor!! hermano!! sii!!) I cant wait to see the Irocos plant men models!
(Sobre tu storyboard, creo que al final, siguiendo en subjetiva, el "chavo" al que le implantaron la semilla, debería observarse las manos y los brazos y ver como se convierte en una planta, sólo una idea, no me hagas caso english version - I think that at the end of the animation the guy with the seed, in a subjective shot, stare his hands and see the transformation to a plant, only a comment-) Again great work and following your progress in the concept and animation ( Aqui sigo para apoyarte Gustavo !! )

Hey ferx


good idea, i star to afraid not end, i am very slow in model, i like your final story change, i try to do maybe with some morph target if i can they close very good the story thanks, feel free for comments.

lo intentare no soy rapido y temo no teminar jeje, pero eso cierra bien chevere el cuento gracias, el nivel mexicano me tiene loco tremenda escuela de dibujo por alla, yo migre a 3d, suerte con tu trabajo tambien, vas por un camino increible...

seguire pendiente tambien de tu thread.

WOW que concepto !! Es una idea de verdad buena. I hope you find your way to finishi it!
Good Luck!!

this is funny how there are so much common points between your designs and african masks. I love this kind of character but i prefer the first one, the shapes are clearer.

Hi

some update, i stop this character for begin the irocos.

Jayf - Thanks for the comments, is true i based in african art, here in caribbean are much african culture, with rituals, music, dance, etc i love too this art off course with sabor latino, look alike but not the same, i try to clean the shapes.
