B-Movie Entry: Gunilla Elam


#41

Hi guys, and thanks for your sympathy :love:

  • I’m getting better now, can even sit and work for some hours per dey. This means I haven’t given up on this completely yet. I will take some time this weekend and see if this is still doable within the timeframe or if I should come up with something simpler.
    Perhaps I can still have her in, but in a distance so not all the flaws will show up :wink:

Hope to have something up in a day or two.


#42

So, finally a small update. I have lengthen all limbs and given her a base for hair and a basic pose.
No works on the hands and feet yet.


#43

Do a good topic
Automotive Forums :smiley:

Hey Gunie,

Glad to know that you feel better and again in the road :smiley:

The model looks nice, I think the long fingers in the hands can put a cool touch on the design of the character.

Looking forward for more updates. Cheers!! :thumbsup:


#45

Yeah, she’s back, glad to see up and working again!
Nice pose and hairstyle for the slimey girl, looking forward to see the rest of the pose for the fingers and feet!
Did you use transepose for the pose?
Good luck and take care!
:slight_smile:


#46

Nice start Gunny, maybe tilt the head a bit to give a more un-natural feel.


#47

aradarena - hmm, not sure what you’re getting at. Could you elaborate a bit on this? She looks like a car…? :curious:

Fernando - thank you and yeah, that was the idea. I think the hands can be good as slime carriers :smiley:

varma - yup, transpose master. Really easy to use, even if it didn’t update all of the subtools. somehow the eyes disappea´red but they can easily be added later in Max.

Steve - thanks. I’ll tests some more tilting when I’ve added the slime objects.

OK - so I’m really running short of time here!


#48

Yay! Great to see you back with your update. I’m liking those first signs of slime. As for the issue of running out of time, yeah you are not the only one …


#49

added some clothes - next will be slime layer


#50

Mark - oh yeah, not only slime but time is running away here :smiley:

So, finally an update. I’m still on this, even if some work has got in the way for my progress - I haven’t given up on finifhing yet!
Next will be slime. My initial thought was to model it in ZBrush, but after some thinking I’ve decided to try doing it in MAX using particles. I’m more comfortable with that and also, particles are so fun I can’t pass on an opportunity to use it.


#51

Hey Gunie,

Nice update, like the clothes for the girl. Think that clothes and her hair cut may work really well for the slime process :smiley:

Maybe the neck is a bit thicker in realtion with the body. I like the long look but maybe a bit thin neck, only a comment :slight_smile:

Nice work and waiting for more updates. Cheers!!


#52

Really nice work on the clothes. So you’re thinking particles for the slime eh? That will be interesting to see.


#53

Particle slime or slime particles; that’s the big question!:curious:

I agree with Mark, really good tailormanship on the clothes, and of course the hairstyle!
Her facial expression fits very well with the description you gave at the beginning of the thread as well, so far so good!

Looking forward to see more!
:slight_smile:


#54

Setup for the cascades of slime she’s spreading around her


#55

Fernando - yeah - totally right about her neck, will fix it. thanks! :slight_smile:

Mark - yes, I’m a particle nerd, love to have a reason to play with them.

mathias - thanks! I think her face is a bit stiff atm, but hope to improve the expression when texturing.

So, here is the base particle setup for the slime. I want it to create splashes around her when she moves, and I think this could be a decent start. I also need to have a thin slime layer covering parts of her body and clothing and that will be fixed either in zbrush or with cloth in Max.

Really fun now, even if the time is short.


#56

Whoah! That is some serious slime! I love it! This brings Slime Girl up to a whole new level in B-Movie excellence. I tell you, there just aren’t enough movies made like this one. Wonderful update.


#57

Wow Gunny that slime adds a whole new dimension to your character. Awesome


#58

Hey Gunie,

Cool effect, like the texture and volume feel on the slime :smiley:
Only take care on no cover the girl´s face. (Perhaps some touches of slime painted on photoshop at the end)


#59

All I know about particles is that they are very very tiny small thingies, that’s all, but you have come a long way with those, easy to see, and I’m totally inspired, maybe I start some intesive study after this challenge!
I tend to agree with Fer about the girl’s face, other than that, you are up to a great slimey adventure in this work!
PS, thanks for the particle wireframe!
:slight_smile:

So, basic textures for girl and slime added. Now it’s time to start the environment.
