Delicious lips , ehehhe
Finish it man

Everything is looking great man. REALLY. Looking at the tentacles on the head, you may want to think about “connecting” them to the head somehow. Looks like they are justing growing straight out of the head. Of course, you may be fixing that right now. Just a thought. :slight_smile: GO GO GO !!!

#763

hey Kris :stuck_out_tongue:
Shes just AMAZING!!! She looks so much better without the hair,with the tentacles and in this position! It gives her much more expression and im looking forward to see the entire scene!
Beijos para o meu amiguinho-professor favorito!!
tchauzinho!

Firstly, sorry for no replies on your thread in the last few days, fellows :frowning:
I’m really running against the time to have this work finished before I leave to USA (8 days from now). I hope my work process can help someone here even if I’m not posting in these days.

Lemog,
thanks a lot dude! In fact, these new color are just another sepia render. But I agree that the new colors looks good.

DimitrisLiatsos,
thanks a lot, as always, Dimi! And of course, I hate you too!!! hahahaha

flyingP,
I can say the same about your work on the 2D Challenge! Your work ROCKS, dude! Thanks.

Atwooki,
my friend, you are great and your kind words always makes me feel better after a not so good day. Thanks a lot!

nsnaveen, jddog, Cartesius, saraki,
MANY THANKS, guys!

Ville and BartokDesign,
me desculpem não ter respondido os seus posts, caras. Realmente está impossÃ_vel :frowning:
Assim que eu estiver instalado, responderei!

Sandpiper,
Totally agree with you my friend! In the next update, you will see some more little pieces between the head and tentacles. Thanks and good luck with your entry, brother!

beth,
So kindness coming from so sweet person… you are my favorite teacher too, no doubt :slight_smile:
Thanks a lot for your support with everything in my life. I really enjoy your company and our classes. Thanks and bye :scream:

Man,
I’m planning to have everything together in the same scene (exception for the background). After, I’ll split my scene in layers, render and composite in after effects. Also, I spent my last bucks and I bought more 512mb today trying to render this scene with less render passes. I hope it works!

Cya :wavey:

Antropus, You can finish on time! You must finish on time! Your work is the best! Keep on! The BOXX Workstation is almost yours!!! That and a little bit of fame and fortune :beer:

#767

Sorry if this has been asked before, but how do you do your lighting? I’m 13 and I have been using max for a few months, but I can’t figure out how to get good beauty renders so I would realy appreciate some lighting tips. I love your work!

#768

The best of out of 2000 entries. One little thing, the skin does strike me as having a bit of the standard blinn shader quality, rather than the quality of skin. I really think you could make this guy cooler if you incorporated more layers of specular, specifically some VERY diffused specular. And real skin has a strong fresnel quality (it’s reflections are dimmer when its facing the view, stronger when seen from an angle) which could be incorporated into the specular.
And I want him to have big hairy gorrila arms damn it!

#769

hhmm…i meant how ur planning to merge the monster and the mother machine ^_^*

well…it’s good to know how it’s gonna be done anyway:p

Abração

mosconariz,
man, thanks a lot for the incentive!!! I’m trying!!! :thumbsup:

cg_crazy,
heya, little buddy! Great to see your interest in 3D at 13! Well, for the light, try to do some tests using a “dome light”. Dome light is a bunch of lights distributed like a dome. You can see an example here:
All you have to do is: create some spot light with very low resolution maps (for speed increase). Try to make each light with very low light emission. You have to divide the global value of your light for the number of lights that you created (example: 1 / 40 lights = 0,025 for each light). This is a basic explanation. Go ahead and make some tests…

gjpetch,
yeah, man! Totally agree about the skin. The only thing is that I have no more time. I’m running and running trying to finish it as I can. But many many thanks for your concern! BTW your work is one of my favorites. So, finish it please :buttrock:

Man,
me too! hahahaha… will be a hard work because my PC is not so good and I’m trying to put everything very optimized to try the final render :cry:

Ville,
no problem, dude. Thanks!

mecman,
valeu brother! Só falta terminar agora… está pesadÃ_ssimo renderizar isso…ARGHS!!!

Cya :wavey:

U are a Cg Warrior. :hmm:

Hi, I’m a bit concerned. Do you sleep enough at night. Do you need to talk, perhaps a calming cup of milk to help with those bad dreams? :slight_smile: Just kidding, I find your work totally cool in a really disturbing way. I really don’t have any critique for your work. I seems very professional and thought out. I don’t care for some of the nitpicking about this angle, that texture etc. For me, the most important thing is what the final product tells you, and not the technical stuff that goes into it.
So keep on rocking! :buttrock:

Check out my latest…

faalaa grande!!

como ja te falei! ta detonando!!ta sem noção d+! parabens!

KEEP ROCKING!

#776

Cara esse seu computador é muito foda… tava lendo a descrição da maquina na página de premiação e realmente vai ser um foguete… bom, já é seu né! posso chamar de seu computador hauhuahuahuah! Brincadeira a parte, ta muito bom isso aÃ_ rapá! E eu acho que você vai levar essa… vamos torcer… assim pelomenos, com uma maquina dessas em sua casa nova na gringolandia, saberemos que vc não vai parar com os projetos pessoais… Boa sorte no challenge e boa sonte em sua empreitada!

I tried to creat a dome light setup in max 6, but it didn’t work very well. should I use the mental ray renderer, and if so should I use final gather and/or global illumination? my other thought is that maybe my material is bad, do you have any suggestions for what basic test material I should use? one major problem I noticed when I tried the dome light setup was that certain areas that should have been dark, most notibly his mouth and nostrills, were the britest areas of him. Do you know why this would be? Here is a link to a page with some renders and screen grabs on it: http://home.comcast.net/~a2lyons/Noah/Orc_Project/Orc_Project_Page_files/slide0001.htm

Thanks for all your help, I realy apreciate it.

#778

hey cg_crazy , you should try e-light script for 3dsmax , it creates a dome of light for you and and you can adjust all the lights thogether at the same time with it, great script by Skyraider3D

here’s the link to it

http://home.wanadoo.nl/r.j.o/skyraider/e-light.htm

also dont make your material too shiny… if you want to get a soft look , otherwise make it how shiny you want and apply other lights around your object :slight_smile:

#779

Man, i’m think in your childhood you’d been kidnapped by extra terrestrial beings. They openned your head and made some experiments. That’s why you have these amazing ideas! lol

You explained the distribution of your project, I don’t how to write in english, but here we go: “visão áurea”. The balance of materials on the scene. Excellent point. :cool:

Congratulations for your detailed work. You deserve the prize!:thumbsup:

See ya!

Man Antropus,

I cant believe you can do this! I have no words to classify such a magnificent work, neither those of your past works. Btw i have to try it out, i cant help myself!:bowdown:

Your talent, (alongside with your discipline and humility) are so rare (and i dare to say SO unique), that at this moment of your life everything seems to be shaping-up to give you the best that you deserve. You look like the man that does everything right with no second intentions, but just love and passion for what you do! So it is fairly natural that life is giving you all the good harvest for the goodness you have sown.

I love all the elements on the scene, the way everything was made and shared with your great teaching skills, plus the composition study you made and shared is breath-taking!! Now, FULL GAS!! Go and finish the winner piece, for exposè III is waiting for it!!:wink:

… go go go!! :buttrock: :bounce:
