Just found your thread and WOAH what a concept. :slight_smile: I will greatly enjoy seeing where you take this keep up the great work.

#143

Ray - Thanks for keepin things up around here :stuck_out_tongue:

alte - Thanks man! Ill have to find your thread too :slight_smile:

virtuoso - im using Maya man, if you can provide help that would rock to the extreme :slight_smile:

troof - thanks man, ya I dunno about the head proportions either… :stuck_out_tongue: good thing is thoug I just have to make it look good from the front :smiley:

well im starting on this again I should have an update for you guys a bit later or early tomorrow… thanks for the support guys!!

#144

Well this is just some skin tests… Doing some weighting and such. Kinda thought these were cool poses so I am showing them to you.

Also I was doing this so I could properly place the arms, which yes I have finally started. :smiley:

I know I started back a bit late again and I gotta hussle but we will see. I also have a new job starting (factory) 12 hour continental shifts… soo thats gonna really slow me down.

Thanks guys!

#145

Awww, not factory work :frowning: :(. Us 3d people should get 6 goldbars every other week… :\ Oh well, it’s a + that ur making money :), but i’d rather see you work on ur challenge m8 ;). Hoping for updates soon, ur progress is looking V cool :slight_smile:

Looking good Mike!

God damn it. Try for a job at a studio damnit. Do it now. Now now! :stuck_out_tongue:

#147

ahw… reading that hurts. hope at least they pay you good enough for spending your time on their productionline… besides, with your talent, you should go hunt a shy species called clients… :stuck_out_tongue:
nice to see you already play aroung with poses. propably think, at the end, you just have to take care of neck head and jaw, for that part and do the rest of the posing with morphtargets, eventually some facail bones but not urgently required,
Keep it up my dear friend, heads up and sett it straight! and remember, how shitty a job can be ever, its much more wearable if you have a reason to do it. a vision, a dream. so whenever you feel shitty, remeber, you always have the sun comin back and (i been striking everones nerves when i been factoryworking) sing, whistle, and think yourself nice plans for your time you spend on your machine later. that makes it wearable… keeep it up!!!
… and a dream not worth fighting for is not worth to dream it. rock em all mate!:wip: :buttrock: :wip:

Looking really good so far Geta-va! One thing that has me worried is that if you stay close to the concept and with his expression of pain I think you are going to need a lot more detail in the neck since tendons and veins and stuff should be popping out a little bit. You might be able to do this after you do the final pose though, but i’m not sure since i haven’t really rigged anything besides robots :slight_smile:

Looking awesome though mate! I look forward to your progress!

wow… I did not expect this many responses…

nix0r - Thanks man, ya I agree about that 6 gold bars :wink:

ray - Thanks man :slight_smile: I should but, meh…

angel - well right now the pay is 10 dollars an hour (which is pretty good) but if I stick with it for 6 months I get 18 dollars an hour… sooo ya… heh, I gotta keep this damn job… :confused: Your words are inspirational man, I really appreciate the care :slight_smile: Almost brings a tear to me eye :wink:

shay - ya I was thinking that about the neck too, but then I was thinking maybe it will be hidden by shadows? I dunno if I need them later shouldnt be too hard to whip up in ZB or something.

But ya, guys… I dunno if Ill finish this, its looking grim right now… Well actually what I should say is, Ill finish this definatly but it just might not be in time for the challenge finish date… this job is really taking alot out of me :frowning:

Thank you for caring so much :slight_smile: You make me want to work on this right now! but I gotta get up in 8 hours :frowning: I only got 3 hours sleep last night… oh well I get 2 days off after tomorrow. sooo Hopefully I can devote some time to this then.

Im planing to texture this in ZB since it seems the easiest way. (ya ya im lazy) and hair I still dont know what I want to do, I have been seeing some really good hair “plane” examples that look very nice, so maybe I will go that route.

Anyways, thanks again guys and good luck to all of you on your challenges, I wont be here nearly as frequently as I was previously. sorry :frowning:

Slip a laptop into those 12 hour shifts…:wink: …Good to see you continue Michael…keep working towards your goals,get this to where you have invisioned it to be…i wish you luck as you move forward…See you as you update…:arteest:

#151

Very nice work so far Michael… I would go with Sacha’s suggestion and hunt down some clients if i were you… You do have a great talent… I suggest you take advantage of it…

dimitris - read above :wink: :slight_smile:

Thanks guys for your fantastic support… I think im gonna work on this right now… try to get that arm finished up eh…

thanks guys!

#158

Well… not really a big update and a long overdue one to be sure… I did one arm and repositioned a few things…

I really want to finish this, but for some reason it feels like my inspiration just left me… :confused: I don’t know how to explain it. Yet I want to just finish it, because like anyone will tell you/me theres just some things in life you gotta do even if you don’t like em.

Not to say I don’t like this, but you get my drift. I will definatly finish this, but perhaps just no in time for the end of the challenge. but theres still 20 days left so we will see.

Thanks for all your support up to this point it’s really been a blessing.
