Uplift Universe - Video Entry: Eugene Ahlers

#8

Bruce’s Head, with the SSS map etc
I am still deciding on the Red War paint…

#9

Blending the Face and Body. I have also added bit more detail in shaders.
Edit: I still need to change some stuff and add propper specular. But for time being this can work for what I want.

#10

I think you have an interesting ‘look’ thusfar. With some interesting deformations and movement this character could be really unique!

#11

BRuce with some legs and an experiemental Goo.

I have started rigging Bruce and gave him some temp leg for now… if I have enough time left later, then I will give him the desired leggs,. But for now, this will do

#12

This would be the progress on my human charcater… Still needs plenty of work.

#13

Working on Evette’s Clothing

#14

Started with the Skin tone… still long way to go

#15

WiP on the Skin

#16

Worked some more on the skin tone and added some hair to get an idea of the look

#17

Reworked her hair and some skin texture again. As well as changed the suite.

Added some light to the scene to get an idea of shadows on her.

#18

u hav got some good texturing goin on there…
my concern is… the proportions of her body are really going off…

just my view though…
good luk!:slight_smile:

#19

Sorry for the delay in submissions, but I will be posting some more images soon.

Unfortunately I had data loss and corruption and now busy trying to restore as much as possible. The rest I have to redo. As for the models and main textures, I was able to get them again (copied them to my laptop) but rigging, props and scenery are all remake.

Edit: Hopefully you won’t notice too much difference in the models

#20

that’s the spirit earfreak!!
keep going dude…:thumbsup:

#21

Bruce is running through the sewers, trying to escape from prison.
From previous submissions, the biggest noticable change is the bump map.

#22

I know it is bit late, but I decided to add a 3rd party

#23

Software: 3ds max

Well, this is my submission so far. I have been having quite some problems with render the scenes. for example, rendering any scene with hair in a 2nd time, after changing something like lights etc, then max crash (Though it does not happen always, else I would not have been so far at all even)

As of now, I have lost more than 4 days worth of render time. So I had to cut back quite a lot of things. But nevertheless, I want to endure in the challenge as I am doing them to learn more about the 3d animation world.

This is by far the most complex animation I have ever tried. Hope you like it as much as I have enjoyed making it.

As for the fight scene, I have extended it, but having quite some issues rendering it, hope it will be done soon. (Had to restart the render this morning -.-)

Hey,

I hear ya…I always have a hard time rendering hair (so I try to avoid using hair systems at all costs ;))…although your hair looks good! You’ve got the dynamics going and everything, so good job :smiley:

I think the main issue right now is the animation…it’s very robotic and stiff (especially in the fight scene)…I think with some fixed-up animation and lighting tweaks this entry could look very nicely polished.

Looking forward to the trailer and making-of :slight_smile:
