Latest Update: Work In Progress: Render Test of Wires and Electricity

#2

This is a Collage of reference images I’ve gathered, mostly footage of the actual film and a Model from Classic Monsters.com.

#3

Working on Main character- this is his left hand thus far.

#4

Still tweaking the arm and hand to form the claw like hand of the FLY.

#5

Working on the Upper Character of The Fly, Working on his Shirt and Next his Overcoat and Legs.

#6

This is the shirt WIP for my character, most of it will be concealed by my overcoat. Will sculpt seams and small details later.

#7

This is just the progress I’ve made roughing out the clothing-

#8

This is a sketch to get an idea for the pose of my character.

#9

This is a render of the progress I’ve made on my Fly Character’s Head- I will be adding Hairs, mouth and other parts. The Eyes will be modeled close as I can get to a real Fly’s eyes.

#10

Adding hairs and will do some sculpting on the foundation next- Need to rework the clothing, get Uv’s and then pose him.

#11

This is an image to show the box modeling of the mouth parts that will be refined through sculpting.

#12

Refining the character some more- making his tongue/mouth less obtrusive and less like a male body part (if you catch my drift). UV unwrapped the parts and plan on doing some ZBrush sculpting followed by painting in either ZBrush or PS. I think for the hairs and whiskers I’ll use either Maya’s proprietary Hair or Shave- either works since it’ll be based on curves. Rigged character and am working out the pose but am having iffy results so I’m trying to find a more Dynamic/less cheesy pose.

#13

Fly is rigged and positioned. Now it is time to sculpt and paint and finish the scene.

#14

In this WIP I am testing the Eye Diffuse and Displacement- Sculpting the Body, Tongue and clothes.

#15

Hey CK,

Cool concept, The Fly is a great inspiration for this challenge.
The model for the character looks great, cool head design. Good luck and waiting for more updates. Cheers!! :beer:

#16

Hey thanx alot! The initial pose gave me some issues plus the resymmetry in Zbrush isn’t working so I have to adjust the preview manually and even still the model is never centered since it isn’t Asymmetrical so the sculpting is taking longer than expected. I plan on adding some hairs and textures… The environment is coming along, haven’t posted it yet but Have a basic room and some of the props from the movie- I plan on having him destroying the Teleport chamber- Coulda probably made a short animation but am settling on a single image since Work has been so demanding lately!

By the way- I really liked you concept Fernando- you definately go with that last one! It is very Dynamic and exciting!

#17

In this image I am working on the Teleport Chamber that The Fly Character is destroying and next will finish sculpting the remainder of the Fly (Mouth, Antenna are done but not visable here, hands and set). I added some hairs to the Fly’s head but are not very visable in this image and I also completed the Fly Whiskers but have them hidden. I am also messing with the render settings, camera distance and angle and general lighting to see what position works for the final result that I am trying to achieve.

#18

Another image of WIP of Scene, elements, camera, and general modeling.

#19

This is a test WIP of Diffuse map settings rendered in Draft so low quality. Still a lot left to do- Honestly wasn’t happy with a few things, restarted during the positioning stage but never quiet happy with the pose; however, pressed on and hopefully can pull off something good.

#20

In this render I am testing the electrical Current from the wires- may be too intense as is… deciding. Reworking Head since had issue with previous UVs. Painting deffuse for body parts- next is clothing.

Well, having been never quiet been happen with the pose or previz I think I’m gonna drop this one :(, I am running out of time for the texturing and the background won’t make it due to lack of time from my full-time job. I’m goin back to working on a personal project I started a while back and continuing it- It’s just progressing in a more positive direction so I’ll go with it, I do intend to try future challenges so that I can gain more experience of time management and the nature of it. Thanks for visiting.
