Harmonic color pallete

Ok, I?m back again after a week I was sick! I got cold but it?s ok tho now,
I had two choices for the mood of final work in my mind, one with desaturated colors and dark style and other in a colorful style and dark yet! So I choosed finally me decision, I think the colorful style will work better in this challenge with more personality! I created a harmony pallet afew weeks ago as the start point but we will have one for each sequence, anyway it is here,
I?ll use the colors as signs, a tool that helps to transferring the idea behind the story, and helps to improve the story telling style so; btw in harmony yet,

Team is going also, maybe alil slow but on time yet, we have both models completed btw waiting for first rig yet to start animating process, Damavand shot bg matte painting is almost ready, and the jail in final shot is In progress, of modeling, particle works and fume fx is in development and we got some cool result sofar, ?

Team,
mim,

thankyo all for watching and for your great comments, :wink:
Apreciate for the supports.

Working in the dark ? :scream:

well… all seem in the good way… I’m sure soon we could see much incredibles things here… I’m afraid man :drool:

about the mood… good choice with the colorful style :arteest:

#98

shot 01, it’s almost ready, some minor works like adding particles and the water material tho, but the render will be done at the scheduled time;
I will do the same thing for all shots to speed up the team by clearing things more; I’m trying to create some motion sketch also for animators in first chance btw have to work on fume fx and particles yet and we have some other models to make yet, ok looks like good btw, all thing is moving ahead, we have just to speed it up :wink:

Hey Laurent, thanko man, I have to just learn alot master, btw will try our best to create a good feeling by colorful scenes! tho it’s alil hard to tell a serious (and even a tragedy that is our story!) workin with pour colors, but it will help the story line if we can use it in correct way; wanna achieve it anyway;D

#99

this one is ready also by now, just water and reflections will be added and some camera shake (just a little)

more will come btw, tomorrow thought, now I have to go a trip to other city to meet the guy who will help us in particles thingies,

#106

good job man! like all your other works, good luck! :applause::love::banghead::thumbsup:

#107

here I did the sword details today, also working on some shots will complete by tomorrow hopefully;

tnx for watch
Team,
mim!

thank yo M-H for kind words, really glad yo like em, :slight_smile:

#108

Of course perfect… but it’s not too much detailed ? :argh:

I hope all these incredibles details will be visible in the final scene… incredible :deal:

#109

tnx, definitely thats right, but since it’s not a time consuming step (I did whole the sculpting in zb just in less than tow of hours), and because of great time saving it will make in texture painting (coz we have a shaded template then) and also with visual improvments it make, I think it worth the cost;
in other hand, it’s something judjes will consider about for sure, so these details will be seen in model show turn tables althought not toomuch visible in main work;

tnx again for ur kind words, :wink:
mim,

#110

is this really sword ? it seems like ax ;)) anyhow, it’s cool and good.
here’s a suggestion; play wow, maybe adding some forms on blades helps to be better, it’s good now by the way.

looking for more my favorite man in CG (in Iran :wink: )

#115

TNX alot all,

we can’t finish it as scheduled anymore; it’s not available for deadline sure;
but whole the team will continue working to finish it (by less time pressure)
by now rigs going to be finished atlast tho;

I really appreciate all the supports and kindness from yo all in this thread;
and I “officially” apologize you and all my team mates for my failures and my miss-directings makes it impossible delivering it onetime; :frowning: although I did my best to make it possible but seems it happened coz my lack of experience working with a “not local” team; all in all it was most my failure and I really apologize for it and dunno how really appreciate all the efforts and stress and pressure my friends on team accepted but didn’t got the result, I just can saying “Sorry, sorry, I’m really sorry” :frowning:

after all we hope to finish it although after deadline and we are reorganizing right now to do it, I spoke with all teammates, and they all like to finish it also even not for this contest, so we will continue and probably sharing our progress here yet, :wink:

tnx again, alot
mim.Armand :S
