good lord… Zapan, I have to tell you that hairy monster of a beetle totally freaked me out, I think I’d run a mile if that thing came scuttling at me jaws going. shudder great work on making it creepy.

Héhé… at this scale… we really could feel the force of this bug for sure… terribly well done Cadet…
…glad to see you’re continuing your personal works 
Continue like that ![]()
Plop !
@ daWinky : heya Sabie … I can tell you that cats are pretty good in math … mine doesn’t want to start to eat until he got the third piece of ham :eek: … but good to know that yours protect you from any fluffy 6 legs creatures
…
@ StefanStavrev : ahahaha … then my ultimate dream would be to change my name into Steven Stahlberg … 
@ thebest : Hey Tony , good to see you … sea animal ? … Noooo , stop giving me ideas … I got one zillion of ideas for pictures but no time to do even one … a real torture … but yeah I had and idea about underwater scene … could be fun …
@ Intervain : ahahah , that’s ok … I like weird people … since I’m probably the weirdest … 
@ Zephyri : Sam !!! great to have you here … He freaked you out ? nah … He carry rocks all day long and also eat spiders … I like that bug …
Thx for stopping by :wavey:
@ Lemog : whee Laurent :bounce: … thanks a lot for your kind words … the picture is supposed to play with contrast with the “weak” little girl in front with the strengh of the beetle despite the size … gonna be hard to have the right result but I’m gonna try …
Oki small update of the girl before starting the cloth and the pose … pheww have to hurry…


Let me know what you guys think of
cheers ,

Hey Stephan! she is turning out beautiful!!:bounce: Interesting to see how you are doing the hair! Are those surfaces Nurbs or polys? One little crit: the collarbones look a little too sharp, and the inner end could be a tad lower, looking at the distance between the chin and the pit of the neck. Actually it could be almost an inch lower.
btw, that bug is really cute!:applause:
looks cool but grrrr very big eyebrows anyway will u texture her :rolleyes:
( no more ideas mate no worry will just watch )
and keep going
Steph! This is really stylized for you.
Teeny crit, the collarbone seems a bit sharp / stylized? The eyes from the side may need a bit more socket? I dunno, it’s late here and my eyes are nearly closed (it’s hard to tell the difference but you know what I mean)
but it’s good to see your steady progress and ahem where is my pink bug? 
Cheers!
Oh yeah - she’s looking real sweet. I’m really curious to follow in your steps for the hair - looks like a good approach. Will you Unwrap and texture each part individually?
Have you thought of her outfit yet? I think she could look good in a really big pair of rubber boots 
W00t !
@ anandpg : thx a lot mate
, hairs are poly plans … usually I use Nurbs plans with maya , but I don’t like nurbs in max … so I rather prefer working with polys with this package…
Thx for pointing about the collarbones … will correct that right now 
@ thebest : lol , yes the eyebrows are pretty big like that … see below with the alpha map hope they are better this way
@ Rebecca : Thx Beckie , yes I’m gonna fix the collarbone , in fact it didn’t bother me that much before , but now you and Anand are pointing this up , this keeps catching my eye …
About the eyes , I admit I have problems to have them right … I keep tweaking that area but it’s still weird on some views … I have to tweak again …
Unfortunately I really really do … Last month , a friend of mine asked me “-Do you see with black frames like in the 16/9 movies ?” :eek: 
Oh my good god … I can’t believe I actually did that … 
@ Gunilla : Thx a lot Gunie dear … well there is a little test concerning the hair … it’s pretty much the same technic I used for the elves …
The first plan is unwrapped and textured then I duplicate and modify the plans to cover the entire head … so you really have to unwrap and texture only one plan 
About the outfit … mmh , rubber boots could have been real nice
… but since we’re gonna see her from the front and framing on the head , I got to say that I even didn’t make the legs … but I cute shirt and maybe bracelet and some jewelry could be nice …
Hair test … and right before Rebecca asks … she is not suffering from alopecia … 

Let me know what you guys think of
cheers ,

screams and hops around thanks so much Steph, I think I have a new wallpaper!
Turning into your typically beautiful work…looking good so far! 
Morning Stéph!
Ahh! I just agree with Becca here, this turns into something really nice:thumbsup: ! So no critical comments from me, just a little cheering:bounce: !
And a question concerning the hair, I’m not sure if I understand…you just unwrap one plane and modify it…so you’re actually not working with the hair geometry from the previous picture:curious: ?
Nice weekend for you!
-sabrina
Oh yes, clever thingking with the hair geometry. I think I will try this for my lady later.
That pink bug is so cuute :bounce: Could you make a furry one too? 
Oh, and she is relly getting pretty - just some more hair perhaps :rolleyes:
@ Rebecca : Thx a lot Beckie … for sure a pink furry rhino beetle wallpaper … you don’t see it everyday … 
@ daWinky : aww thx very much Sabie … in fact the plans are the exact same one that in the previous render … I unwrapped the original plan then I duplicated it ,and then I test it on a few plans to see how it looks . See below for the entire haircut 
@ Gunilla : thx a lot Gunie … this one not furry enough ? … don’t tell me you want some kind of furry pillow with muppet skin … 
@ anandpg : aww thank you very much …
Entire haircut … probably will change to add small groups of hair here and there … and maybe a hair bobby pin … I don’t know yet …


wow nice eyebraws looks great with alpha
she is so cute keep up the good work mate I really am very excited to see her skin and eyes
textured u are going to do that right ?
Wow, it looks great, a little chubby in the cheeks, but she’s a child after all
- not sure how this went from a 5 to a 4 star thread suddenly :curious: must be some jealous people around here
- keep up the great work Steph, can’t wait to see this finished! 
Hey Stephane! awesome! cant wait to see this textured and lighted!!:bounce: please remember to post a step-by-step of your shading. One little crit: could you make the eyelashes a little bit denser and longer? Also I would suggest trying different variations on the arch and thickness of the eyebrows.
@ thebest : Thx Tony , well before starting the textures , I need to get her on pose in the scene … but I will try to do that as fast as possible , thx for the great support 
@ Rebecca : Thx a lot Beckie , I gotta say that the chubby cheeks helped me to get the youth of the character , but I do think that maybe it’s oversized … well maybe it will reduce a bit with the expression on her face . About the star rating , that’s really ok , eventhough I would be lying to say that it didn’t please me to have 5 , but 4 is already great and I 'm very thankful for that
.
@ anandpg : Thx a lot Anand , do you want a step-by-step of the hair shader or the future skin shader ? .
Thx for the crits , I will try to fix that . Thx for the great support and help !
Will try to have an update soon , Have a great day everyone
cheers ,
-Stéph
Morning Stéph!
Good progress with your girl, she’s already looking so cute…and I don’t mind the chubby cheeks at all, I like it:thumbsup: !
Thanks for the further explanation about the hairs, I understand now, already unwrapping during the modeling process, clever…
And now: more updates please!:bounce:
Have a nice day!
-sabrina
Hey Cadet… the progress is really good on her… me like…
I have the same feeling about eyelashes like Anang… here, that make more young woman than girl, not ?
About hairs, in first I beleive they was in nurbs because with nurbs, it’s already unwrapped… I know, I’m a bit lazy 
Keep the good progress my friend ![]()
