The Beginning ... (a MUST READ for anyone interested in helping)

#141

Rice ManX - It’s hard to tell from this angle, but it looks like the disc part needs to be thickened for the toon look. I like the way the cabin is shaping up. It’s a definate improvement over the last one. The engines need to go though. They look really buggered up. Stick with a simple form like I had in the concepts. If you try to get to intricate with it, you’ll loose the toon feeling.

Here are a couple more illustrations for you guys to work with. First one is the agent’s gun. This is more along the lines of what I wanted. It doesn’t have to be exactly like this, but close enough. The mini grenade launcher (at the bottom in this design) will be used in the short.

Secondly, is the design for the other alien. Look, his legs are designed for walking! Heheheh. I’d like to give him a few tattoos, but I’m lousy at designing these. I know Tommy is a tattoo artist and I sort of had him in mind when doing this guy. How about it Tommy? Can you give me an alien looking sleeve tattoo?? Maybe one for the center top of his head too?

I’ll color the alien later. I’m still working out the details on the ship interior.

No Prob dude. And for the titledesign…well I need some storyboard to throw out the best. The tattos are coming along quickly. And mybe I can do some tweakings on the second Alien?
So please send me the highrez-pic to my email please.

Does he not need the third eye Kirt?
& now who want to model this guy?..hurry up!

#144

Here is a first rough tattoo-design for the second dude… I also did some tweakings on the allover-design. May ya like it.

Tommy - I like the changes you made to the clothing and boots. The face looks too old now … I think the addition of forehead rinkles and bags under the eyes are too much for the character. The tattoos are definately what I had in mind, but maybe a little less. Go up his right arm but maybe just a flash on his left bicept. I also want to keep the tubes on his head wrinkle free. I think the shape of that will be repeated throughout the film (the other alien’s head, the end of the gun, some shapes on the ship, and an intergalactic jellyfish - not yet seen) and it lends itself to the overall style. No offense, but your redesign makes them look like penises.

ila - No, the third eye isn’t that important. I wanted to do this one different, like he’s a different race of alien, but could come from the same planet (i.e. his hieght is similar so he fits in the ship). Thier orgins are the same but the class is different … kind of like comparing a dog and a cat.

#146

LOL…ya right about the penises…hehe. Ok…here is the redesign of the redesign with more tattoos.:beer:

And I think bout the tattoos: When its modeled i should get the colormap and add the tattoos by myself to get a realistic look of the tattoos.

Cheerz:beer:

Okay Kirt, ive made a new engine, and made a new Tail fin, but im too tired to post it tonight. Il post it tomarrow with some other screens so you can see the thickness fo the saucer (although i think its fine as it is). Night thnx for your Crits by the way! lol

#148

I bought the gun from full version at work into PLE at home to render and email. The original is at work just don’t tell my boss:rolleyes: . I have some others that are more along the lines of what you had in the sketch, i will modify some of them and post them either today or tomorrow for your review. Thanks. Like I said, modelling is not my strong point, but I am trying. Also, I wasn’t thinking of PD models for main props, but for things in the background. But I see your point.:slight_smile:

Hey guys,

I just noticed this thread and thought it looked like a cool project. I am just learning modeling and thought I’d give a handgun a whirl for 3eyez. It’s somewhat based on kirts concept, but it’s an early wip so let me know what you think and let me know if it will come in handy. If there are any other props that need to be modeled I’d be glad to give 'em a whirl.

Here’s the gun wip…

:slight_smile:

hey JD i think that gun is definately what kirk is looking for, i love it.its looking good, but wait on the boss to make his crits.

#151

:shrug: Great gun Jdex, well on to other things. No seriously that will be perfect I bet. That IS Kirts gun.

#152

it looks awesome, round the top a bit though. (I know im abit of a hypocrit :rolleyes: )

#153

hey Rice ManX how is the ship coming along and do u have anything ready for me yet?

#154

Ok Kirt, i think the engine is pretty good looking now. ive got two views shaded and a Clay render so you can see it all. I dout im going to need to change the saucer shape. But if u want me too i will.

#155

Here is a shaded view.

#156

It would be awesome if you could start on Guns Illustrative (for the ship) if you want i can export the model of what i have so far so you can get the right dimensions of the Gun Bays? Or wait arn’t you doing the webpage? i can’t remember, if you need renders for webpage sure i can give u plenty. For some reason i thought you were Pwhitlock, but if u want to do its guns also thats fine!

#157

me not that good at modeling, me good at web designing.

#158

Ya i just remember, lol srry. Ya i can render some stuff out for you. What u want? Wires…

#159

give me all you can, ill soon be off to bed.

#160

Ok give me about 30 minutes il see what i can whip up for you.
