Beast of Burder - character - phil

#48

cheers guys, glad you like it so far.

@ erilaz - nah, haven’t played with max 5 yet - hoping to get my grubby mits on a demo in the next couple of days.

@ boygonemad - yeah I think I will animate it, seeing as the beast is rigged anyway it seems like a waste not to go the whole way. It would be an awesome dynamic sim too with all tha sh-it hanging off him, good experiment. But I might not get too it in the near future as I have just managed to pick up the flu and my brain seems to have turned to some kind of useless green mush. Didn’t get anything done last night cause I just couldn’t concentrate. :frowning: why me?

cheers again.

Hey, same here! (Well not the flu, but just as bad!). Sucks, doesn’t it? Ah well, take it easy and finish that model in between sleeping lots!

:smiley:

#50

DUDE! thats worthy of Star Wars, awsome work.

but for some reason the feet seem a bit off, maby just a little too round.

#51

@ erilaz - i feel your pain dude, unfortunately i have to work in between sleeping so i’m not sure how much more modelling I’ll get done. Hopefully heaps, but we’ll see.

@ Mr Penguin - cheers dude and thanks for the crit, I will address those feet for the final shot. Maybe put them under water :lightbulb :slight_smile:

#52

started making a bit of an environment last night. did an early pose on the character too but in this view he doesn’t look like he’s straining enough or got enough motion so i will address that.

ps, this is straight out of max. ie. no photo shop

crit, crit, crit

#54

Holy mother of donuts! That’s really nice! Only crit would be the small rocks look like they’re not quite rocks yet.

Oooh. I like a lot.:eek:

#55

thanks guys, glad u like -

yeah erilaz, rocks are just a quick and nasty scatter, i’ll work on the scenery asap.

cheers

#56

Looks great man…
nice job on the modelling and the textures…
I’m not familiar with scatter, what is that?
anyway again nice work…!!

#57

hi road, scatter is just a 3d max thing - it copies err copies of an object over the surface of another object - in this case spheres with vertex chaos and random scales.

quick but nasty. can be good for fields of grass and stuff

#58

Ah good old scatter. Yes, the grass in my entry uses that. A cheap alternative to using hair plugins!

#59

Please light this guy. It severly needs some good lighting going on. First thing I see, and I keep getting drawn to is the yellow behind the burden and the planet. Everything else is so dark that all the details are lost. He needs some fill light in the front badly.

#60

got almost no time last night :frowning: sob,

thought i’d post a new angle tho - needs work all over.

@ taoizm - yeah will do, just waiting to get the final pose and everything set in stone so that I only have to light it once.

cheers.

#61

The other angle you posted works a lots better than this one. Good camera. :thumbsup:

I’d crit, but I think you know what needs work, so I wont bother telling you! :stuck_out_tongue:

:slight_smile: No sweat. I like the new camera angle a lot better than the first.

Can’t wait to see the final. :thumbsup:

you killed me with your scene man ! GREAT (i think its higher than great) job !

walalala…i must work hard to make something as good as yours…

grrrr…:applause:

#64

Very nice stuff phil. This piece will be stunning once you get it lit a little better. My biggest thing is you need some light in the shadows. But as you said you know about it and only want to have to do it once (I don’t blame you) so I won’t bug you about that.
Fantastic set up on the pic. The scene really ties in well with your character.
Great work! :thumbsup:

#65

Well I’m as finnished as I’m going to get. There’s still heaps I would like to do and needless to say if I were to do it again it would be completely different. But I have learnt heaps over the last month and really enjoyed seeing everyones stuff and being able to get feedback. So kudos to the moderators, much appreciated.

Hopefully I’ll see you all back here next time.

Cheers.
