Steampunk Myths and Legends Entry: Robert Angol

#30

Updates soon.

#31

Flo I’ve not looked at this since you’ve been doing it on your own, stunning work sir, Fenris looks incredible ! The last scene is definitely the better one to continue with, more dynamic look, keep it up you’ve done well :thumbsup:

#32

Next is the particles. I have the positions where I want them.
Ill do a fumefx sim for the flames eminating from fenris, should give me steam as added bonus. Also, I might add the smoke and mist below as a 2d pass.

#33

Awesome! I still feel that the camera position is taking away from actually “feeling” the characters battle in this scene as I feel to far away looking down on the action. Its a heck of alot better then the old distance of the camera and angle but I still feel too far away watching from a distance. I kinda wish it was more of an slightly looking down eye level view with the human character.

Anyways, I don’t mean to crit. Your doing a fantastic job! Good luck :slight_smile:

#34

Thankls for the crit.
With all the criteria Im trying to fulfill I think its the best solution.
I wanted to stay close to the original concept, wanted to see the span of fenris, wanted tp have odin and gungnir fully in frame, and wanted a view of the dwelling place of fenris. The Ice cave is partially built and dont extend much further than what you see, so angling the camera too much not only shows nothing, it also diminshes the commitmen that Odin is showing, hes jumping into the jaws of death, and I kinda wanted to show the drop to not only get the idea of how big fenris is but to see there is now way back for Odin.
Im rendering out another update.
I did a full res test and you definatly can see all the detail that feels like it is missing from this.

Hey Airflow, good stuff going on here, but as a Norwegian, and a reader of Nordic Mythology, Odin never kills Fenris, rather the oposite. So you are kinda missing the myth there, apart from that, this is a cool image, and good use of 3D software:)

Suddenly this feels a bit like Ghouls’n’Ghosts somehow - bit like how Arthur leaps about and fires down at a baddie.

Also, with Fenris taking chunks out of the ice walls this is starting to become much more dynamic. Good work.

#37

Mischeviouslittleelf, if you look at the script that I did in the Video section, you will see that Odin is swallowed whole by fenris. In this image there is no conclusion, so Odin will still be swallowed whole, but thanks all the same.

#38

nice scene, the pose is really dynamic :slight_smile:
my only input is maybe you can add some motion blur and depth, but maybe you will add them later since this is still wip:)

#39

The final is currently redndering at 3k, wanted to put motion blur in,but I feel it make the image look too up to date, I kinda want it to be more fairytale, older somhow.
So Ive got a velocity pass and a zpass, Ill try out the motion blur if it works, Ill keep it.

#40

I really like the last composition… easily readable… we feel well the action now…

I will be glad to see an head more large for fenris… not ?

#41

Atlast. Im off for a pint, Ill describe the last renders when I get back.

#42

Software: 3ds max,Mudbox,Photoshop,VRay

Odin fights his final battle with fenris atop the cavern which tje metal wolf has been ensnared for centurys.

#43

A heroic and stunning effort.

This Steampunk event has been hard on you, Rob, and this is just proof to all that even against such odds, a true professional can still deliver high quality at the last moment.

Fantastic job.

#44

Very sweet result Robert… congrats for the final… really like the final mood… sweet, cold but strong ! :buttrock:
All my best wishes…

#45

:cool:

congratulations mate, a good job well done considering the time you had …

good luck …

#46

Thanks guys, Im glad its over. It wasnt really that taxing cept the re-rendering and composition which I though would be simple. Went for a beer with a pall yesterday and got trashed :slight_smile:
Cheers to everyone who posted, specially boone and sim, rodi and mr bob.
So now its off to Lemog’s video entry to give him some support, that Tyson guy is tough competition too.

#47

Another Excellent Piece Flo… Its a big achievement especially the time you had to work with.

#48

Thanks John. :slight_smile:
