Octavio Ribeiro is entered in the “B-Movie” update: View Challenge Page

Latest Update: Final Image: Mutant Brains from Outer Space

#2

Well, this is my image concept for the challenge. Mutant brains on mechanical suits/comanding army of robots/invading Earth.
I just hope I am not to far behind the other contestants. Just 1 month to finish this.

#3

I just hope this goes to my original thread and not to a new one (not used to post in here yet…
Anyway I took inspiration from diferent sources including “The Black Hole” “Doctor Who”, some old B Space movies and “Sky Captain and the world of tomorrow”

#4

Just a couple ideas for the Mutant Brain character

#5

As with the “brain creatures” just some ideas for the robot soldier.
I will try to post more things later… as soon as I can get my scanner working again

#6

Hey Octavio,

Cool concept, like a lot your idea :smiley:

The mutant brain character is nice, and think designs on the top have really potential for the concept.
Good luck and waiting for more updates. Cheers!! :beer:

#7

Thanks Ferx (and sorry for taking so long to reply) things have been a little crazy lately…
As for the mutant brain, I was considering using either the first or the last one (the one more similar to the original concept) but I haven´t decided yet, besides before getting to the “mutant Brain” I have to finish first the other models :stuck_out_tongue: … but with a little luck I will be starting with it by weekend:D .

I have to hurry or I won´t finish on time!:wip:

#8

Finally I had some free time to work on my image. This is going to be mutant brain´s UFO. Probably I´ll add some more detail, but I´m not sure if it will be only with a bump map since it will be on a second plane…

#9

Just the model sheet for the robot (I learn my lesson last time, It´s easier to model if you first do the reference XP )

#10

Half a robot done… another half (or maybe 1/3 to go). With a little luck I´ll have enough free time tomorrow to finish it, so I can start with the UVs.

#11

Just a close up of the upper half of the robot soldier.

#12

Hey Octavio,

Cool updates! :cool: Like a lot the retro design on the UFO and the robot, both have a great B-Movie style. The models look great. Hope you have enough time to finish your concept :arteest:
Waiting for more updates. Cheers!! :beer:

#13

Wireframes of the complete model of the robot soldier.

#14

Just a quick test with procedural textures (don´t you love them? one of my favorite tools of LW) for the metal body of the robot, just in case I don´t have enough time to paint some nice UVs.

#15

One quick test of the beam weapons… I wanted to see if I could get a nice effect for it. Not totally convinced yet.

#16

Mutant Brain character model. Wireframes and flat material render

#17

Just some material tests for the body. Trying to figure out which works better.

#18

Well finally after battling a little bit with the rigs I´m able to start blocking the characters. Since deadline is near I´ll have to also do some “on the run” lighting and camera angle tests.
I´m doing the image in 2 pieces… this shall be the lower half when its finished.

#19

hey, that’s looking good, I like the light beam effect… I think that low cameras will work well with your scene, and about those material tests for the brain robot, I like the green one, but all of them can work well…
Good luck with the last week! I hope you can finish!
:beer: Suerte!

#20

Thanks man… I also liked the brain with the green body ( Im guessing it will be the one I use in the end), but probably I will make some tests with the last one also, to see which reads better, just to be sure. And about the camera you are right, I did some other renders with more robots and the ones with the lower camera looked more like the idea I had in mind.

Good luck with the last week! I hope you can finish!

Yep, I really hope I can finish also :smiley: . Right now, Im working full speed to get this on time. Time to get back to work.:stuck_out_tongue:
