Jon, sent me a few houses… but we may need to do a bit more toon style houses then what Jon
sent me… But right now I want to wait to see what the yard looks like before we start working
on the stuff outside the yard… because we may be able to get away with a matte painted version… So we will have to see.

I know not much stuff to model right now… the focus will move more to technical stuff.
like setting up shots and previs type stuff…not to forget animation. Oh and effects !
dust and stuff… but hang in there, we will think of more stuff to do.

If anybody has ideas of other stuff that can be done, just drop in your ideas …

I textured the dog house and a few tweaks to Jozef’s original models,
nothing major just a few pulled verts here an there.

I tapered the base of the dog house and made the front wall a bit thicker.

I tried a few different things for the roof but I still would like
to try one more style, I think I might of made it a bit too soft.
So to get a balance would be good.

As for the dog bowl… it’s textured, I put some more food in the bowl
with a bit more organic style ( If it looks like dog S!#T maybe it is a bit of both !?! ) LOL

I also beefed up the bone a bit.

Close up renders below.

Those are super sweet! I love the textures on the dog house. They are great. Much more stylistic. I think the food doesn’t look like food if ya know what i mean. lol. anyway. great job

Hey BOY1DA

nice textures on the dog house, this is really looking like a sweet little toon

nice claw too Bot, I have a few tweaks to make to the mower and I was gonna start on that stuff myself but I will let you go ahead :stuck_out_tongue:

I will put up the clean mower and you can add the details were they are needed.

Great work peeps

#185

Lovely work Boy1da I new my work was in good hands :smiley:

hope there wasnt to much to tweak :oops: :slight_smile:

#186

Hmm.
I’m trying this new “nails&tape” look, lot’s of nails and things welded/molded/taped together.
This would look kind of funny, and offcoarse matches the idea that this little boy made it.
I’ll post a render when you want it; I don’t want to spoil the thread with much WIP’s :slight_smile:

edit: Thanks TheFreak. Your work is awesome. I hope you don’t mind I started working on a part of the mower, I should’ve asked first :smiley:
Good luck anyway, your work looks promising.

#187

Looking nice Boy1da.
few comments> The roof does look a bit too molded “soft” as you mention. One other thing that stood out is that the dog house is stone textured…it looks great, but doesn’t sit right for the modern age setting of the rest of your set.
Oh…and the dog food? heheh looks disgusting…yappers has irritable bowl syndrome I think. :slight_smile:

Looking great overall Keep it up guys. :buttrock:

#188

This is getting close to final.
I hope you like it :slight_smile:

#189

I really like it. I like everything, the dog house textures look really well done. I do agree a little that the dog house looks a bit out of place. I still like it though. Bot13, I like the roping and the idea of the nails, really nice textures aswell.

#190

Agree with softdistortion, id simulate a few wood panels here and there on the dog house.

For the dog food maybe go with something like this?:

Bot13: Lookin’ good!

#191

I also agree with softdistortion… even though the dog house has the same wood image I used for the fence… I didn’t know what hints I could use to make it look more like the fence does.
I wanted it to be made of ply board, maybe too much bump noise.

As for the dog food, it is supposed to look disgusting, much funnier to me.
It is wet dog food you get in a can that lumps together, I didn’t want to do
dry pellets because it looks too much like the cereal animation I did with the boy.

But none the less if it reads badly , I will make some changes and post them
soon.

Bot13
looking good, I luv the nails, I wanted to put some in the dog house too.
So I may steal your nails when I get a hold of your model.
Maybe you can make the rope thicker just so we can see it a bit better.
It would also fit wit the toon look a bit better.

The claw part still looks a bit stiff. maybe you can make a door hinge
stuck at the base so that the claw can open and close.

Other then that great stuff.

#192

Bot13- SNAP! that looks fantastic!

Boy1da- hey I didn’t mean it looked bad…that’s the problem with text discussions sometimes…the effects a perfect grab your eye type of thing, which is what you wanted I’d assumed…saying it was disgusting was meant to be a positive :slight_smile: …it is poopy humor funny, hence my “irritable bowl” joke.
I wouldn’t change it… if that is what you are after you got it perfect, “disgusting” :thumbsup:

#193

Wow, everthing looks great. The clamp looks awesom bot. Crazy awesom. Love the textures you used, and the nails. Great touch. I would also try a clamp at the bottom of the spline. Keep this version though…

Sorry I havn’t had time to post an update on Boy or Yapper… I have been uber busy, but I will have one soon… I have only had time to watch you guys blast past me :slight_smile:

#194

Okay “SD” I get ya, I know you didn’t say it looks bad, (Just “reads” badly to the eye, looks like stone not wood )
I will work on the dog house , I’m not happy with it fully yet.
As for the dog food, I guess I will put some flies buzzing around it to sell the grossness more.

#195

The dogfood?
hehe…I’m getting confused now. :slight_smile:
Dogfood looks good if it was supposed to be gross.
Doghouse needs work to look less soft on roof and stonelike on structure. But like the others have also said nothing major wrong, you obviously know how to map…just tweaks to make it fit the quality of the rest of the project which is shaping up to be a super short imo. :thumbsup:

#196

LOL yea… what you said above :stuck_out_tongue:

#197

OK I think this is the final version of the mower. I shrunk the front a bit as it was a little big and I fixed a few details in the back and around the wheels.

I have put it on the server for you to monsterise it Bot13 :slight_smile:

Also my texturing sucks and yours obviously doesn’t so it might be handyo texture it so it all looks the same as the added parts etc. Feel free to tweak if you notice anything off as well I am sure it if far from perfect.

Looking forward to seeing the beast complete :slight_smile:

#198

I can’t seem to find the file on your server…?
Or is it hosted on another server then the pictures?
A direct link would be appriciated, you can just PM it. :slight_smile:

#199

Sorry , my bad ,I will send you the server info.

#200

I gave the roof a bit more harder edges,
at the same time trying to keep an off beat toon look.

I reduced the bump , dirt and specular on the front .
I hope it looks a bit more like wood now ?

EDIT, I added another style map to the body of the house in the second image.
with plank lines in it, what do you all think ?
