Machineflesh 3D Challenge Entry: Eric Normandin


#261

yep,Eric, now u are near the finishing line, aren’t u?:beer:

Great to see the char in the last environment. IMHO a bright, white background like the last fits better with your alien than the darker ones. Anyway the main actor is a masterpiece and I’m looking forward to see it finalzed…:buttrock: :buttrock:

Go, Eric, go!!!:beer:

Almos…I detailed a bit the city but it’s not finish yet, I will texture the ground and add some urban stuff. I don’t know why but my bump map do not appear on this render I will have to figure it out soon…

Let me know what you think mates and have all a good day Cya


#266

Yes Eric…definitely better!!! More contrasts, head rotated, hands in different pose!!! With the new head pose he is more emotional:
a really observer…with unknown power.
Congratulations mate!!! Have you tried the debevec site for HDRI?


#267

That looks really excellent. My only critique is the stiff poses of the 2 aliens in the background.


#268

very impressive work


#269

Awesome update friend!

Looking forward to see your final image!

:applause: :applause:

#272

Hi Cygnus !

Great texturing and nice rendering !
I hope these guys will stay on their planet !:smiley:
The city fits perfectly with them.
That evil smile is really creepy…:thumbsup:

Maybe the two other folks in the background could look less static…

Anyway good luck !


#273

Great job you have done,love it.

#275

Yeah man… update very very good… One remark, I just find the 2 guys behind are a little bit dark… expecially this one at left, the bakground near his head is dark too… I’ll prefer with more contrast…

Your work on the city is great… and like too much this new composition… That will be a great artwork :thumbsup:


#276

Great, looking fantastic!!

Perhaps some coloured lighting to tie it all together? I think a light blue sky and some coloured lighting could set off the tones on the skin very well.

This is really great work man… getting close now =)

#278

This is close to the final shoot some details to tweak and it render. I will probably start the render tonight. Because i think that will be longgg with all the stuff like area light better anti aliasing and a better acuracy in my final gathering.

this is a preview all my setting are a bit low cause that’s long heheh let hope my machine will not crash…

Let me know what you think my friends and have all a great day


#279

sweet dude, that’s looking alot better than previous posts. I like the new environment. The poses of the background characters look better too - they don’t just looked placed, now they look like they’re doing something.

good luck with the final render, do some prayers and put up gaint water cooling or something so nothing with crash … hehe

ps. lol, how similar are our avatars, hehe… maybe they’re brothers ;p
