Machineflesh 3D Challenge Entry: Yannick Lorvo

#1

Yannick Lorvo has entered the Machineflesh 3D Challenge.

#2

In these difficult times, a mad scientist has created the abominable creature. He created a gigantic genetically and mechanically modified mole to destroy the world. The mole’s path of destruction is unstoppable as it smashes everything from underground.
So beware!

Here are some more details on the beast!

In the year 2010, the mankind is threatened by a new problem: fertility!
The excess of TV and junk food has reduced the fecundity of humans. Therefore some biomedical companies have developed new nanotechnology to improve the chance of pregnancy. This nanotechnology allows reinforcing and improving spermatozoids and ovule through genetics and mechanics modifications. The spermatozoids are faster, stronger and remotely controlled by the ovules, which has been enhanced with GPS (to let the spermatozoids know its position) and better visual signs for entry.

This is another though for the challenge. I might develop this one for the 2D challenge.

I started with the head of my mole. It took me quiyt some time, as I tried the subdivision modelling for the first time. I am not quit finish with it. I want to get a rounder head.

#6

Ooops I forgot to put my sketch…

#7

More of the modeling of the mole head.

Here are some comment of what I did during the weekend.

I redifend my mole with new sketches and started the modeling.
Unfortunatly I am a beginner and I never used subdivision modeling. So this is a double challenge for me. I am use to model with nurbs but as I a just started learning maya I decided to use sub div modeling and I am going to build my mole body with polygon modeling.
Concerning the modeling of the haed, I am quit happy with reasult but I still nedd to work on it until I get the result I want, which is a rounder head.
I think the body will be straigh forward as it is wuit simple and round.

Pleas fill free to comment/critic as I really need feedback. At the end you are the people who are going to vote!!

Thanks

No critics??? :cry:

This can’t be perfect already?? :curious:

#13

I can’t believe noone’s commented! great work. Just so you know, someones already doing the enhanced sperm, but it looks like you’re not doing it anyway. Great modelling progress. all be following this thread.

Who is doing the idea of the sperm?
Iwas thinking of doing this one in the 2D contest and I checked that no one submitted the idea before I did…

#15

Here are an update of the head. I have rework the nose and the general shape.

#16

I dig the mole, man!:thumbsup:
One comment on the concept- I would much rather see this mole as a normal size creature enhanced mechanically and used to find treasure, mines or people under ruins in case of disaster. Maybe it would become more interesting- the giant destroyer scenario is kind of old- you know, since Godzilla came around:)

#17

Héhé… I like a lot the mole idea…

I hope sincerely that your modeling will be as funny as your drawing.

That will be a wip very interesting to follow, good work :bounce:

#18

I work on the body a lit bit and created the tail.

#19

Here is a closer view of the tail.

#20

I started the front of my mole. I want to integrate some mechanicalelements. I have also redefined the tail and the body shape.
