"HARDWIRED" [CG ANIMATED MOVIE PROJECT]

#639

I have no plans set in stone… I just want to make the movie, then see where it goes.
I’d have to admit I’m a much better artist then a business man… :stuck_out_tongue:

to be honest with you guys, im also very excited just by watching along as you all work on this project. I also write and is so-so in figure drawing. I dont think I’ll be of much help in the production process, but I’ll love to just watch and see your processes.

Good experience towards knowing how to run a production team.

#641

Thanks for all the input guys.:slight_smile:

It’s good to know that this project has something to offer… I can’t wait to get things back on track.

Even if this project never makes it to the end, I will try to keep it going just for the sake of having a fun thread
for us to hang out and share our passion for making kool computer art, not to forget sharing all the stuff I learn along the way.

I’m starting to understand that collaborating here is not really about the end product,
but more about taking a long journey and enjoying all the people you meet and experiences you have on the voyage.

" I’LL BE BACK " Like the terminator, soon enough .

OMAR. :cool:

Hi, quick feedback. I think the shape of the tire won’t work. It looks nice in the concept, but it won’t translate nicely to a 3D shape. The tire gets wider as it moves out, while the metal casing gets smaller, their shapes conflict. I also feel the look is not really matching the gritty look of the clothing, the armors, the base, it is too clean. Hope it helps :D. Make something dirtier. Look at cloud’s bike in FF:Advent Children for inspiration. Some tech ideas:

  • heater elements built in the seat area, handy in cold areas
  • exposed power cores, engine, exhaust. Details create scale.
  • more comfortable ergonomics and protection. The legs at least would get very wet in a snowy landscape, hands are at risk too ;).

Hey DogmaD… good to see you still hang around here.

Well, most of the things you mentioned were implemented in the final draft.
I don’t think I posted them.

For example the handle bars were integrated into the body.
As wall as the place for the legs were tapered down so the drivers legs are tucked into the main body as well. We didn’t add any exposed motor parts, but we did BEEF up the front suspension.

As for the clean look, I instructed the concept artist to make it clean so we can see the forms
better… I will then age and dirty it up at the texture stage.

Right now I’m still texturing the driver “Young Tera” in my spare time.

It’s been a very long time since I’ve posted in this thread.
You all know how life is… and somehow my other project FETCH took over this one.

This project is probably still going to be pretty dead for time to come, until I can
figure out a way to get some funding for it. None the less I will still update with
WIPs when I get bored or find the time to post.

The image below was done a while back but I never found the motivation to post it.
Just for Sylvain “Lacrevette” and the rest of my friends here.
I’ll post my last WIP of the young Tera model.

If you “right click” the image you can download a video turntable of the character.

#656

It’s been a long time since any progress has been made here…
In need of a reboot of this project. I may have to condense and start a new thread
with all the content that is still relevant.

Not much to say or show at the moment, so I guess we all will have to stay tuned.

#657
