As long as you keep up the great work the prize is safe with you.:beer:
Don’t let Mr.Walsh intimidate you, any dude that likes to be called Susan
I’m sure wears ladies under garments as well:surprised eewww I just got another bad image in my head.:argh:
Why do you think they call him the FREAK !

Oh, and watch out for Tony, he is eying your prize :drool:

Rich:
I must of been on drugs when I decided to make that tree.
Maybe you can put some shingles on the roof, like the round ones, or square ones
if you prefer.

Tony:
I see you are up for a challenge to expand your texturing skills.
Okay so here is my input, maybe it can help. If “ya wanna stomp with the big dawgs”…

I think you were on track with the first version just no black
and it needed to be a better quality mapping.

You picked a good model to test your texture skills on.

First can you show me your UV layout ?
Next… I like the flames find a good Image of flames
and post the image you want to use,you don’t have to post the hi rez image
I just want to see the image you choose, but tell me what pixel size
the full rez image you pick is… If you can find a vector image that
is even better. You may need to use Illustrator or another vector
program if you have any. I also have tons of vector clip art
you might want to look on the web for free vector art…

What do you know about texturing so far ?
What would you like to improve on ?

I remember you asking me to make a tutorial showing how I do it…
I found a few videos I made a while back.
They show the basics of uv mapping in max, and some stuff in photo shop.
If you want to see them let me know. Depending what you know you may
not even need them. Oh and also they are real old videos so some stuff my be out dated.

#743

lol I think I can figure a name :twisted:

ok now to answer ur questions :

the uv layout (looks crappy :smiley: )

while searching I found this flame …is it good ? (I know not vector art but looks cool )

What do you know about texturing so far ?

well about unwrapping I think not much if it was complex model I wouldnt have been able to unwrapp it .....about painting in ps or such things when I try to texture things I usually dont get the desired effect so I think I suck at painting

What would you like to improve on ?

well I think I want to improve unwrapping and painting lol

I found a few videos I made a while back.
They show the basics of uv mapping in max, and some stuff in photo shop.
If you want to see them let me know.

yeah that would be nice

Depending what you know you may not even need them.
Oh and also they are real old videos so some stuff my be out dated.

well since I`am still a very noob at texturing so I think I will be looking for every information
I can find

I really like ur texturing style when u are texturing a toon work it is toon when u texture real
work it is real and that`s really amazing :thumbsup:

#744

LOL Ha, I’m sure you have made up a few good names for
me when I crit your work all the time , but I could not say them here :smiley: :stuck_out_tongue:

Okay good stuff…

Here is the plan, send me your model and is that the actual resolution of
the flame map ? If you have a bigger one send that too… or just send that one.

I will try to take you step by step trough it, and you can follow with the one
you have. I will make some custom videos and show some of the old ones…maybe.

I forgot to mention that I’m back doing some freelance again.
So it my be a bit of a slow process, but should be worth it to take our time.
Others may learn from what we do.

Talk to you later.

#745

Fetch… The project where Schyzophrenics and schyzophrenic wannabees gather :smiley:

I should have an update during the coming days, sorry for making you wait :).

I love the tree, like they said Omar u must be insane to model that by hand
The houses are looking great aswell and so does the skateboard :slight_smile:

Well I’m off, going to talk to my other me’s

Cheers

#746

Hello there!

Well just thought I would help out with Tony’s Textureing and Vectorize the flames he posted. That way you can make them any rez you like.

They are not 100% perfect but they are pretty close.

They are in AI and EPS format just in case th AI format doesn’t work on your version (CS2)

They are on the server in my folder

Will post house later with slates and then I will start something new :slight_smile:

Cheers

#747

Can’t get the file for some reason, you might have to drop it on the server.

Did you do the vectorizing by hand or automated ?

#748

i totally forgot about the server :stuck_out_tongue:

It’s up there now in my folder

I did the vectoring by hand, the automatic versions are not that good…yet

#749

You are building the whole neighbourhood or what? great work, I see everyone is building his dream house with a nice car in it… good good, make one for me guys!!
I was going to offer to help you again this summer a bit, but it happens that I am moving to Barcelona, so I´ll be busy at the beach, you know… Got a new job just 50 meters from the sand, what can I say, I will try to make time and help you guys.
But, in the meantime, KEEP GOING!! :slight_smile:

#750

Juan !

New job…Barcelona… you son of a beach !
:curious: uuum we had a good animator but it seems his lazy a$$
will be spending all his time on a beach in Barcelona.
What can I say " life is a beach, then you die" :stuck_out_tongue:
You’re welcome back anytime, I’m pretty sure we will still be here for awhile.

Richard, amazing job on the vector file, may God bless you :thumbsup:
Still waiting for my money :hmm: :shrug:

#751

Hello again

I have put it on the server too so happy messing :stuck_out_tongue:

#752

You’re welcome back anytime, I’m pretty sure we will still be here for awhile.

yeah I agree we will be waiting mate

Big O
the file is up now what is the next step

#753

Tony: Just do what I did in the skateboard videos, then post your wips.

Okay here are the tutorial videos.
I’ve also posted the older stuff I did a few years ago.
Some of them are pretty big and boring.
So that is why I never posted them before, they were made to
teach E5(Mark) for my HARDWIRED project so he is the only one that has ever seen them.

DISCLAIMER: If you really like lots of PAIN and like to learn boring stuff
then go ahead and watch the rest. Keep in mind that I’ve learned a lot
more since they were made, I use the relax tool and poly boost a lot more now.

Window modeling: Nothing to do with texturing
just to show how to do a sud-D window model.
I figured that since I’m posting all these tuts,
I might as well throw this one in, plus we are making so many houses.

GRIM MAPPING: These show a bit of how I did the mapping for
the shell of that robot in my portfolio also in my Hardwired project.
They are very long and slow to watch. HAVE FUN :stuck_out_tongue:

That is it for now, that should cover most of it.
If anybody has any questions, just ask.
If needed I will try to do small custom videos to explain stuff I left out.

#754

update.tell me how many houses you want in the animation.three houses r already there.i will finish the windows roof base when i get time.

#755

[color=DarkOrange]immortalx: The house is looking good, some nice details in there. Although it still looks a little to sharp on the edges. It may just be the renders to be honest because there doesn’t seem to be any shadows on them it might not be selling the curves if they are there.
If you are not sure what I am talking about feel free to download the model I made and have a quick look with meshsmooth on (or whatever it is on your modeller of choice)
But it’s a nice design, wish I had a house like that :stuck_out_tongue:

[color=DarkOrange]Tony: Glad I could help on the texturing thing. My Texturing skills suck big time. So I might grab those videos of Big O’s as well and get some tips for texturing. Good to see the Big O Lecture Series back in full swing.

OK an update from me. I know it wasn’t really asked for but I wanted to keep in the swing of things and I did a search on google for outdoor toys. Found a nice climbing frame & a space hopper among other things. So I thought i would model the hopper and frame. Not my designs (obviously)

Anyway here they are together. The models are on the server.

P.S. I know i stole your coloured name thing Big O…but hey, it works :smiley:

#756

you guys wont stop making me amazed will ya? Cool models and everything is looking great. I love the tree Omar, texture on leaves are just cool. Keep up guys. This project rocks.

#757

nice work guys keep it up

look at this it is a tresure indeed Big O u rock thanks alot mate :scream:
I will be posting my wip as soon as I have some time thanks again mate

#758

freak : the edges you r talking about r going to be covered by wooden slabs on the outer walls of the house so ididnt use nurms smoothing which i normally use for my models.and as far as roofs are concerened they r normally edged alright.i saw some refrences and then made them.they r fine.iwill be finishing the side windows soon and give house the final touch.how many houses r you including in the animation?

#759

Hey, good to see that you are still working at it.

As for the edges I’d agree with the freak.
Keep in mind we are all working to have the same style and look to our models.
We are shooting for a child like soft feel.

You don’t have to use mesh smooth but you should at least chamfer or fillet
the edges to make them round.

Think in your head of a baby’s play toy house but bigger full scale.

It is important that the models look like there are created by one mind.
You are going a bit off model with the hard corners a bit too real world looking…

And again make sure your house can be easily broken apart for texturing and other adjustments.

As for how many houses we need, I’m not sure yet I am going to do some more
work laying out the street, then I will have a better idea.
The camera will be floating down the street showing the kids playing.
Some houses Will be seen pretty close up in the shot some will be far.

Here are some examples just think of them as real house size.
Notice the soft round corners.

#760

guess i got your point.you already had references in your mind considering the toy houses that ididnt know.i was going for real stuff.now you want me to use smoothing on all edges or only chamfering will do coz chamfering will still have more sharper edges than mesh smoothing just that from single edge it will be 2 or 3 close edges.got what i am saying.tell me .
