Machineflesh 3D Challenge Entry: Eric Normandin


#101

Wow! It just gets more sleek looking the more I get to see of it,great job.
Could you post a wire of the vein parts,I would just be interested to see the way you have worked them into the mesh as I might give my character a few veins here and there.
Anyway it is looking sweet,look forward to more.

Looking good:thumbsup:


#103

Looks GREAT!!!:thumbsup:


#104

Great !
For the details : I think that they must be more subtle, do not catch too much the attention.

@ madshooter thanks, I am now working at some new details but now its more on the flesh like the veins, hands nerves stuff like that… thanks again for your comments.

@ Lemog thanks a lot for your support and nice words:beer:

@ harnelbe Always a pleasure to receive some good comments from you:) yes I will probably put some veins on the head. thanks again matte.

@ mikepol |3D| Thanks a lot mike, I just saw your work, really interesting :thumbsup:

@ jud thanks for you nice words. yes sure, I will post a complet wire frame soon.

@ creativer thanks

@ el_newty thanks

@ JPCohet thanks I think you’re talking about the veins, yes maybe they are a little bit to bumpy I’ll rework it a bit.

Very cool,cygnus!!!:buttrock: :applause:

Have u tried to put more veins on his arms??
Could lookin’ great the opposite of the plain metal with some organic “structure”…

A good bavarian Paulaner-beer for you:beer: :beer:
Cheers!!!


#107

Here is some wire frame of the alien body. I’ll post the wire frame of the head soon.

@Saschi0815 Thanks for your comments :slight_smile: Yes I am thinking to add some more veins on the arms and the head but I’m not sure yet if it will be model or bump map. If I add some more veins it will be smaller one so maybe bump map will be enough, I’ll test it soon.Thanks again for your comments.

#108

Wire frame again :slight_smile: You can see on this one the 2 different subdivision level used to smooth the mesh.

That planet environment with those special vegetation sounds good. blue lights could be fine for a bit cold feeling of course it works well with you smooth shapes.

maybe vegetation could be mechanized too…
:rolleyes:

ciao:wavey:

Keep it up

yeah very nice modeling… about the veins youre going to add i think the bump map will be enought, just be sure to blur well lines u create so the veins fit well to your mesh, u can add an outer glow on the same color of the line to get a smoother version of the veins… goood luck with that task, it will rock!:thumbsup: :bounce:


#112

@Tremoside Thanks for your comments :slight_smile: Yes could be great with some mechanics mixed with the vegetation, I had something similar in mind I’ll sketch something today. I’ll update the plants sketch soon. Thanks again and keep on rockin with that cool design you are workin on.:buttrock: cya

@ Lali hey tanks man :slight_smile: Your mechanic is going well keep going

@ rattlesnake thanks for the tips :beer: Yes I think I’ll do some test soon for the bump maped veins to see if it fit well. cya soon.


#113

cool update

your wires look so simple, yet the results after smoothing give a great effect.
nice optimisation:applause:

rock on!


#114

You know…You can even see the “Noble look” in the wires…Nice once again Eric…Liking your efforts very much…:buttrock: :beer:


#115

Nice!

That’s all I can say at the moment, though you can bet that if (and when) you keep going at this rate, I’ll be saying “Flawless” and “Astonishing”

:buttrock:


#116

Update…please give…

'a wishgood work to you!:thumbsup:


#117

about the environment: I could imagine a very bright environment with some machines in hard contrast and very soft GI_Shadows like on the link below (Pic from Mario Rothenbühler- great artist btw!!!)… I think the lighting rig is the most difficult then…:shrug:

…and yes veins as bump maps are enough imho…

…and where’s an update,dude?? looking forward:drool:

cya mate:beer:


#118

@ Versiden
@ Virtuoso
@ Raxx
@ Tremoside
@ Saschi0815

Thanks to you all, always happy to see your nice words :slight_smile: :beer:I know I’ve been a little late to update these day hehe but now I recived my tablette so I sketched a little something that I will update soon.

@ Saschi0815 thanks a lot for the tips,:beer: you made me think a lot. I already sketched a little something for the environment but I am not completly sure yet. Your idea seems really interesting too so I might rethink my idea. :slight_smile: let me know what you think about the next sketch I am about to update. thanks again matte. Cya soon


#119

The idea is that the alien is a kind of scientist doing some exploring on other planets. Here is a sketch of the plants he’s doing some experimentation on. let me know what you think about it.:slight_smile:

Cya :slight_smile:

Looking good to me!
I kind of like the red things but the mushroom like on the middle…
I thing it’s too common , I am sure you can make up something really cooler!

Looking forward for you work, I really enjoy seeing!
