woohoow man!.. ur modeling is really awesome… insane detailing in the grand building!.. very cool… and dude the council member looks really great… btw i got a little suggestion on the council member… u can make the face more organic or make it look like a hard mask… currently it looks more like something in between… its okay if u wanted to do that… but u know its just me…keep pusing those vertices pal! ur almost there!.. good luck mate!! :thumbsup:

#102

Great job on the modeling of the council member, he looks mean! Your doing an excellent job there my friend. Keep at it!

#103

I have completed modelling this one, the next buildings are going to flow a lot better as I’m thinking of first modelling the two completed and then using some of the various textured small parts to fill the new ones. C&C are welcomed!

Gunilla, thanks for the support man! Wishing the best on your effort too! Lots of coffee and Gallic magic potion too!

overcontrast, thanks mate! The councli member is supposed to wear a mask so I’ll head this way, thanks for pointing it. As for the vertices thing…there are a LOT vertices to be pushed and a hell more LOTTER (that’s some good english!!) to be created!!

#110

This has some great details cant wait to see how it will look when it is texturedgood job :thumbsup:
need more & more updates to see:bounce:

#111

That is a really nice design. I love the extensive detail work you put into it. After all the UVW mapping I did yesterday I can only imagine that this one will be umm, fun! :wink: Keep at it I can’t wait to see more.

#112

hi Mike…
details on the building suit and work just fine mate! :thumbsup:
but we definitely should move faster… and thanks for this magic gallic spells… :smiley:
in addition don’t forget to consider christmass holydays… for instance i personally will be forced few days do nothing cos have to spend this days (4-7) for family… thats great for sure but if the officials (Leonard) of this challenge can add one week to the deadline would be simply fantastic…
anyway keep this coolest stuff up and the best of Gallic spells to you! :smiley:

#113

Thanks everyone for your support! :thumbsup:

-OZ-, thanks man! Hopefully the rest building will have some same look (without the mental amplifiers of course), I consider starting texturing some of them as soon as this week!

adr, thanks for your support! Unfortunatelly, the modelling process includes some 3 buildings , 4 spaceships and 3 more characters :smiley: (I’ll see how I manage all these!!). Currently I’m thinking to move on to some texturing on the existing staff…

Lelantos, thanks for the support! Really appreciate it! KBytes of support and energy to you man!

||) |V| |^|, thanks for dropping by mate! :thumbsup: Can’t wait to get to the fun part as you mentioned!! I think after spending some XXX number of hours texturing the two buildings then I’ll have lesser hours on texturing the rest of the buildings (I plan on using various of the already modelled little details…). Have fun mate! (translation: Happy texturing!)

Paul, thanks for the support friend! :wavey:
I think I’m moving faster this weekend (updates to come in this day) but it is not fast enough! I have lots more to be done. Holidays you mention is something! A week extension would be some nice christmas gift from the challenge officials!

#114

Nice models you have there, i jsut wish i came across this thread a lot sooner. Keep up the good work:thumbsup:

#115

hey Mikey… THe Concept of that think is very creative I like it man wanna see it in 3d :thumbsup:

#116

Here is an Alien Face that is to be used as basis for 3 different types (as shown on image too). I’ve added some texture thoughts too. I want it to look like an elephant’s skin but white. C&C more than welcome!

#117

Here is the final model (I think) of the Council Member. Also started some texturing, this far I consider textures of head (mask) and the cloth underneath as final. Also have to think of some colors for the rest of his clothes. C&C always welcomed!

#118

hi Mike…
are this greenish cabels and stuff illuminating?
should look very interesting…
now can’t say anything cos it’s very early texturing stage… i’ll check it later to comment something…
keep it up and cheers mate…! :beer:

#119

Yeah!! great stuff:buttrock: I also think that these cables could illuminating… I think it would make him more mysterious if his appearance was partly covered by the light from the cables…

#120

Hey Mike nice start on texturing keep them coming cant wait to see more

those illuminations are looking good keep it up:thumbsup:
