Spectacular 3D Entry: laurent antoine lemog

#2281

daWinky -> Happy that you like… there’s a strange effect at the junction wing/body… but certainly due to the transparency… thanks Sabie :thumbsup:

bne ->[/b] MAGIC ? :argh: I’m little bit afraid by this step… I have a idea in my mind… I’m afraid to obtain the same result… hahaha

Gunilla -> In fact… the texturing is now finish for the bird… I must find time this morning to do some rendering… well… the bird comes soon.
BGut without magical stuff, I must wait all these birds in place in the scene to add these stuffs… seeay Gunie :wavey:

#2282

Yep , that’s a lovely bird , I can almost hear him sing - tweet, tweet… :slight_smile:

So if I’m understanding correctly, those are getting out from the book, like spread knowledge, right… ? Yay , it’s gonna be really magic , are you planning some glow , or selfillumination for these ?

These is great Laurent can’t wait to see the next - tweet, tweet…

#2283

Nice textures on the birds there Lemog! C’mon pokes I wanna see a full update! Get to it, chop chop!

#2284

Zapan -> It mean you’re the guy who most understand the story… better than me perhaps… I’ve planed many things as glow or self illumination… in fact, surely lot of test to be near of my vision… certainly the last work… oups… I’ve forgotten pigmees… :banghead:

Elsie -> Thanks girl, me too, I’m very impatient to see the “real full update”… but I don’t think that will be easy… I must manage these enormous files on my poor PC… the real challenge finally… :scream: hahaha

#2285

I don’t think you really need the pigmees, the message would probably be strong enough without them - and also it would, as I suggested earlier, make us the real spectators here, just a thought :shrug:

That would also leave you more room for glow and magic stuff :slight_smile:

#2286

I remember well your words dear… I think many times to that, with or without pigmees… and I’m always not sure… is it the message understable without these little guys ?

With pigmees, we add an another notion… something between the culture and the knowledge… the real difference between the both… I don’t know if I explain well… cause in english, the french words “culture” or “connaissance” are translating with the same word… “knowledge”… “culture” is what we learn with our family, old things give us by the past, our skills and experiences, way of life, and “knowledge” the things we learn while reading, at school, with studies… and so… pigmees will be here only for this reason…

Another think make me feel that their presence is necessary… I need a real human presence… the angel is not really something human, but the knowledge materialization…

Of course… I can save lot of time if I don’t do these guys… and I also push the magical stuff in the scene… but for the moment, I don’t have this image in my mind… I just see a little group of 3 pigmees at right… and an another one, growing up, on the floor…

But maybe when I started the real composition, I will change this vision for something near of your suggestion… I really hope, if not, that’s will be very short about time…

Before, I must find a solution to render easily each part… adding the birds in the scene… and that’s will be more clear in my head…

The story is not finish… it just started :twisted:

Thanks to you Gunie Spectator :bowdown:

#2287

Texturing is finish for the Bluebird… in fact, I think to precisely setup the shader in the final scene, cause the result depend too much of the lighting and environment…

#2288

Same setup for the shader… but different orientations give some different results…

#2289

Your blue birds will look just fine if not from to close which i take is not the idea any way.

Would love to see them in the scene.

Keep up good work ,it is truly inspiring.

#2290

Colorful, nice birds:thumbsup: - I’m very curious to see how they work in the scene!! And also curious to see how your story continues…with or without pigmees, anyways it will be something special…:slight_smile:

#2291

hey man, i like it… i love the way you have done the wings… v impressive :buttrock:

#2292

SONIC-X -> you’re right, these birds will be not closed… it’s also the reason to have a glowy shader… :thumbsup:

daWinky -> I must start to dispatch them… and prepare many rendering… to composite all parts cause now, impossible to do one render of the totallity…
…in these next days, I will do many render test, that give me some time to think about pigmees… :slight_smile:

eddieellis -> glad you like my magical bluebirds… I hope they can be good in the scene now… :smiley:

#2293

Hi Lemog, my good Laurent

really afflicted, I did not really follow all the evolution of your work.
But I have just reviewed all for half an hour.
As always very detailed and very beautiful.

But I have a small critic for the bird. The body seems to me too spherical, and separation enters the body and the head too marked, but the texturing of your bluebirds are very splendid.

It is just an opinion, good continuation. I am really curious to see an overall picture.

#2294

hi laurent, great looking bluebirds i love the blending of colors on them :smiley:

#2295

Very good textures :thumbsup:

#2296

Bluebirds are sweet now!

And thanks for the clearification of the concepts of knowledge and culture in this - it’s much more clear for me what you want to do now. Good!
The reason why I question the Pigmees here is that it might be confusing since they represent another type of culture and knowledge - one that we know very little about and probably would benefit from knowing more about. To me the library represent a classic western culture and then there are the pigmees (with their culture) and the angel of knowledge… in that sense your original idea of the western school girl and the angel where clearer I think. Sorry for not following you all the way on this.

The image itself will be spectacular whatever you choose to do - yes indeed!

PhilPJ -> hey… I’m very happy to see you here my friend, congratulations for your courage… so many pages to turn :scream:
About the design of this bird, I agree with you… shape is really simple… but the 12 Bluebirds will be far of the camera… no need to much details… but need to be watch… and sincerly, I’m not really sure about the result in the final framing… we will see then.
In any case, it’s very simpathetic of you to take a little turn in my thread… thanks a lot Phil :thumbsup:

Agamemnwn & bne[/b] -> Thanks buddies :slight_smile:

Gunie -> maybe pigmees it’s not a good choice… as I say in the first time of this idea, that can be pigmees or arbogigens… or that kind or culture… just for the symbolism…
I understant your thought about the little girl… but I don’t think that can be a good place for her to be in that kind of sad forest… :shrug:
I must wait some days before to take a decision… thanks for your advices honey, it’s good to have objective vision :thumbsup:

#2298

Last modifications for the shader… finally, I don’t know if I really like these birds… but I think that certainly the better solution of magical aspect for them in the scene…

#2299

The feathers looks…from up close.I don’t know,not right,but if they are small in the scene one would not notice.

#2300

is that a hint of self illumination map i smell hehe:D
