Latest Update: Final Image: Beings From 9th Dimension

#2

Yep, well my theme in this challenge is going to be as the title says. and Im going to use my old script to generate these ‘beings’.
Heres a taste of these beings and my portfolio thread about them:

testing some angle and beings

#4

testing different material for these beigns

#5

very cool stuff here - love the free form styles

not sure where it’s going to end up but i’m enjoying the visuals:thumbsup:

#6

I desided to stick with the old metal material, but changed the script
so that it creates also these tentacles, controls for them and a cluster
of black eyes.
Now it looks more like a being and I couldnt stop my self, I also created
an expression to create three LOD:s for these. I just set one attribute
now tentacles, eyes and the body have different tesselations…

Damn Im again more interested creating a tool than creating the actual image.
But now I have the beings ready… so back to the actual image :stuck_out_tongue:

#7

Test pose

#8

another test pose

#9

Intriguing image!

#10

tweaked the being creator script, now it creates hands for them.

#11

well, now Ive twaked the materials a bit more… there seemed to be a bug in the being creator, in the material and reflection section… but now it looks as it should.

and now Ive made also a pose tool for these… I just select the being root node and a target mesh and it places the feet to the mesh and randomly lifts some of them a bit to the air.

ps. and btw everything you see here is prosedural… no file textures used

#12

Heres the scene where Im going to place those beings from the previous image. Buildings are still quite simple…

#13

detailing and randomizing some houses

#14

now the buildings are about the finals so Im starting to add these beings to the scene.

#15

Added more beings

#16

Well, I believe this might be almoust the finished piece here… only thing that I might add here are some small clouds to the sky… and then just render the highrez image.

#17

Hmm… still something is missing. I was trying to achieve a miniature feeling here in one point and this doesnt have it… maeby Ill ditch the fog and cranck up the dof.

#18

ok, removed the fog, changed the color to oldish purple and cropped the image a bit. this way the beings get to the center. This might be the final look…

#19

ok, the cropping was a bad idea :). but anyway Im thinking redoing some of the beings heads cos they lack the detail I had in the old nanobots. And somehow its still not as miniature as it should be.

#20

It looks great the renders are very intererting I like it a lot!
and the size image looks great to!
