Man your concept is rocking. It is looking great:thumbsup:
Keep it up.

#62

I love your last maquette/Concept, Just is really too much regularā€¦
jdd

#63

hehe thanks for the comments everyone, I hope to have most of the center-building done by the end of today :slight_smile:

#64

Yeah man, looks really great. How much polys does this scene have?

I thing that regular planting of bulidings isnt as bad as the others said, it shows the future - symetric, regular and quadraticā€¦

I think that wasnt very good english ;).

Nice scene!

#65

looks strange, but i agree with lukā€¦

good luck.

#66

Jo,
First of all the scene has A WHOLE DAM NLOT of polyā€™s. I had to make the effect of the houses theirselves only visible at the render or else my computer would crash for sure (eventhough it almost crashed too when I tried mentalray rendering :p).
Seconds, At the final image Iā€™m going to make the houses theirselves as abstract as possible, but try to keep the planting a bit random to make the image look more interesting and stuff :stuck_out_tongue:
Last, your English is probably better than mine, donā€™t worry :stuck_out_tongue:

thanks again for commenting everyone :slight_smile:

edit: dang I use alot of smileys in my posts :stuck_out_tongue:

I really enjoy your process. Iā€™ve been following several threads and your workflow is the best imo. Keep up the good work! :thumbsup:

hi budy, nice view i liked the scene of buildingsā€¦ but actually if they had the capability to do such a awesome building why do they have such small ones (takin lots of place on the ground) and just have one big oneā€¦? wouldnā€™t it be something like a city made by only one or few buildingsā€¦ like four may be. i dunno wouldnā€™t it be logicalā€¦ sorry i didnā€™T read all ur posts so u might allready had this conversation beforeā€¦ good luck pal.

#69

Hi,

Your technical skills look very promising, I would love to see an illustrated sketch of the entire concept if possible. Anyway, good luck.

#70

Iā€™d mix this one with the circle one it would look great

#71

why do they have such small ones (takin lots of place on the ground) and just have one big oneā€¦? wouldnā€™t it be something like a city made by only one or few buildingsā€¦

Iā€™m thinking that would look pretty damned boring - unless some gigantic effort were put into making the single huge buildings look like they consisted of several thousand smaller ones or something. :confused:

Still looks good and I never intended to mean ā€œitā€™s not originalā€ with that other post - merely, if the same idea is being/has been used everywhere before, it may become a little bit boring - still looks schweet tho :slight_smile:

#72

i see something hereā€¦ :smiley:

#73

yeah u r right i know that would look not that cool but u can make it look coolā€¦ like u said lotz of small buildings detailed on one building and it wouldnā€™t have to be square or something lke thatā€¦anyway iā€™M tellin this just incase there might something cool could come out from that. lets see whtt is next, go on dude:thumbsup:

#74

itā€™s not going to be yust a big building with loads of small ones around it. Itā€™s about the city of Star Wars but that more abstract, lighter coloured and plants and parks here and there :slight_smile:
and uhm, diffrent anyway :stuck_out_tongue:

btw since the big guys decided to count a WIP as 25% of your ā€˜degreeā€™ or whatever (so YOU guys can learn from me, eventhough Iā€™m probably the one here thatā€™s learning the most :p) Iā€™ve decided to not start with the final models yet but sketch some more (a bit more on paper this time I guess).

#75

Ahh yes pencils are good.

#76

pencils good, pencils vewy vewy good!
too bad Iā€™m not so good with 'em, but for CGTalk Iā€™ll squeeze out every last bit of skill if I need to :stuck_out_tongue:

#77

Yes, pencils are good. Actaully I bought a wacom a while ago so that I could draw digitally and stuff. But, I know realize that the best way to do it is to draw with a pencil and use the wacom to color things in photoshop. So, I guess thatā€™s my advice if you have a wacom, draw things out, scan them in, and use the tablet to color it. If you donā€™t have a wacomā€¦please ignore this messageā€¦

this message will self distruct in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1ā€¦

#78

I DO have a wacom but I suck at using it, I guess Iā€™ll try to use it yust for colouring too though, thanks for the tip :slight_smile:

#79

you ā€˜canā€™ draw with a Wacom too, just takes a bit of getting use too, strangely enough (for me) I havenā€™t actually used a pencil at all in this or the last challenge myself, havenā€™t really missed it either :surprised
