Hey Chico, he’s come along so nicely!! :bounce:
Awesome work!!
By the way, you are very brave to look up stretch marks on Google - aaaaarrrggghhhh :insane:
Looking forward to seeing this little guy all finished!

#31

OKay…due unforseen circumstances…Im a little behind:surprised

Still trucking away though…(Thank god for caffine budgets:bowdown: )

Will proably be a upperbody shot…No enviroment though sorry…May be able to stiick him in an enchanted forest next month aye…:shrug:


Next on the list is some eyeballs…then onto completeing the texturing the body…

PLease…I want heaps of constructive crits on the head soo far…Refer to the earlier images to see where the eyes are going…Ummm…still looking a little plasticy…Ill work on that a little more later…I shouldnt have any probs fixing that…

Lots of C&C if you guys arnt panicing to get yours done…
Cheers Heaps,
Cam

great googly moogly! :surprised that’s a lot of layers broken down up there. I like seperating out render elements for comping, but damn! Was it only the 5 in your second post you broke it into, or did you literally use every piece? Just curious.

Looking very cool. See what you mean about a little plastic feel perhaps, but the maps are still looking really nice. The ‘muscle-like’ stuff up on top really has a nice feel to it. :thumbsup: There doesn’t seem to be a lot going on on the…jaw(?) underneath, is that un-mapped? Some bumpy stuff on the skin might help as well. Anyway, hope you get to the finish without any permanent damage :smiley:

Luckily I can just hang back and watch for this one, I hope to enjoy the panic in the forest next month.

#33

Quick Update…Plastic look reduced…Still not really happy yet:shrug: …Ill work on it more a little later.

Thanks Hypercube…Yep, under the jaw is part of the skin…to be continued…later on tonight…

And dont worry bout the layers…I have a habit of recording my progress, and compiling it through the PShop Contact sheet feature. It helps me keep track of my progress and see what im doing. I figure I ll share it with you guys so you can see my (sometimes really backwards) progress.

Also Thanks Leigh, Adam, Kaskai and Iguiniz.:wavey:
And a big hello to chris…Havent see you lurking around here before…:wavey: But your 100 posts suggests youve been here longer than me:p

Back to it…

geez what resolution do you work at, 1280x1024 and I still had to scrol a little to get the edge or your image. Awsome sompilation, really neat system to see what you have done. I will have to try some of these things in the future. Allows you to go back and see what you have accomplished. and where you still need to work. I tend not to domultipasses and then comp but now looking at how you could simply change the colour of the shadow map and then know what it would look like without re rendering, could be useful when rendering something that takes about an hour at the qulity I want.

anyways I got an S**T load of work to get done by nine (I thought I had till midnight, dang eastern time) So I will go into crits after the challenge as I really like this one. Still looking a little plsticy in a few spots, could be fixed with a little diffusion, and what illumination type are you using for him, I sugget Orennayer for most of him as it seems to be the bonelike structure of the head and such would have a slightly mor matte feel.

#35

Sorry bout that Kaiskai, I have Duall monitors, so I wave twice the width that you do:p I get a little inconciderate…hummmwonder what this post looks like on you old run of the mill 800x600:surprised

OKay…Oggie now has eyes…And there has been quite a bit more reworking on the rending as well…Starting to feel a bit appier with this now…althought it could also be the fact that Ive consumed 100g of coffee and Ive been up for over 24hours now:insane:

I need a hug.:sad:

Well, at least Im doing this cause I want too… not cause of a dealine set buy a client or something… I really wish I had a contract that warrented this level of work:deal:

OKay…By my calculations I have 6 hours left…midday here…Lets finishe off this skinn…and see whats left over:thumbsup:

Time for a coffee first:argh:

#36

Wow great stuff, and on my dual siplay it is much easier (I tend to avoid using both as the second display is a telivision and too blurry for text. anyone know a fix for that???

I love the little hints of the green goo around the mouth filter. Great stuff. I just want to reach out and poke his eyes they look so slimy

#37

They look like toffee apples to me:drool:

#38

what happened to the eyelids in your avatar, they add a lot of character?

#39


They are still there…:surprised

#40

FFS This sux…Never in my life have I experianced RSI or anything like that…Well…My arm feels like its been trampled over by an elephant…Im gonna have to finish up here…:mad: :annoyed: :insane:

I still have plenty of time…I just cant carry on much more…:thumbsdow

Ill post my final in Half an hour or so…

#41

about another 6 1/2 hours of work for me before I do final render

well maybe 6 to make sure the render has enough time to do its job

#42

Hi all…Here you go… A final comp for yas…

Im gonna sleep for a couple of days…But Ill be back…Ill post up my last couple progress shots, and my textures.

He still needs alot of work…I think Ill shelve him for a month or two and carry him on in the WIP section.

Night All,
Sleep Well

#43

Hi,

Just came back from the beergarden. Very hot in Stuttgart. Cannot sleep, cannot work (ummm, to much wine, to hot in my appartement under the roof). Looked up CGtalk.

I like your character. It is friendly. It looks the mood I am in.

Also thank you for posting so much material to show your progress. It is very intersting to see, how your character has developed. I think part of choosing a “winner” of such a wip-challenge should be to evaluate how much material of “work in progress” was posted. I am just starting 3d, Iwant to learn, this helps a lot.

Good night and best regards :slight_smile:

#44

Thanks Honda.!:thumbsup:

OKay one last parting comment…
If I were to be voted on with one piece of work, the I would like it to bethis one…

POsted several back…But it was before my arm really started playing up and I was focuing properly on this.

Thannks all and Ill see you in a couple of days.
Cam

ps:(tnx again 4 thumb…:slight_smile: )

#46

lookin’ GOOD Chico! I’m loving that brainthing youv’e got there :slight_smile:

Only crit would be the eyes- good material, but it seems like his pupals are on the outside of the eyes, just a little wierd :shrug: The rest is great especially, his skin :smiley:

Hope that injury gets better

:thumbsup:
Fecking nice work there - I love that subtle rim light on the back of his head! Brilliant! :slight_smile: (have you been doing any real work?!? :wink: )

Shame about the RSI (or is that OOS?) seeyalater to RTCWolfenstein eh? Thats why I bought an X-Box a couple of weeks back, I figured I’d deal to my wrists during the day & kill my thumbs at night… ha ha - I havent been back to the studio much since…:shrug:

It gets my vote! :applause:

#48

Thanks guys…

Oz…Ill forgive you.!:thumbsup: I love the new comps on your charater too…Its deserves your vote:thumbsup:

Farley…Thanks too, the eyes are like that by design…Earlier on in th thread is the original Idea for the eyes, and I was following that. Though Ill admit that they doo need some work though. Oggie Is a constant WIP for me…hes already a year and a half old. That drawing was done Jan last year:bounce:

Chris…

have you been doing any real work?!?

Yea…Lots…You may a seen a “blis k12” add campagin that we finished up a few weeks ago…really wish we had a bigger budget for it …also a “Nuttelex” with an evil Squril (Rat thing, Lives in trees…has nothing to do with butter…I cant spell it) squezzing a heart. And a few other bits and pieces…“Animation Station” is due to air on that new TV3 childrens series (What Now typr thing) in July now:thumbsdow .

RTCWolf…yea not good aye…I slept all Saturady to woke up on sunday with my arm feeling Fine…:slight_smile: but after a couple of hours of GTA3 on the PS2 it was pretty sore again…I think its just a warning sign…a few more breaks couldnt hurt I guess.

Seams okay today…!!!

Thanks all…I really looking foward to this next one.
