HARDCORE MODELING!: 80's Cartoon: The Moomins

#1

Hello,
just placing wip ,gonna start modeling about 8th as I have a lot of work for now :slight_smile:
I choose The Moomins,starting from their house . I would really like to model the outside and inside,but i will need strong references to do it right.

Good luck :shrug:

#2

Hello again
I gathered some reference materials,started modeling yesterday evening and today,and here it is …progress:)

I’m going to look for more references since im not 100% sure about proportions …
cheers
edit:
well there is similar building in real world as in 1st post but it’s different in details,scale,some materials…

#3

Hey dude, good luck with your entry, afraid I can’t view the bigger image of your wip.

Hmm, Moomin’s make me reminice :slight_smile:

#4

SteveTsang - thanks ,why ?

ok so far so buggedhehe :slight_smile: few after-mirror-bugs ,one after-turbosmooth-bug and some other things to do ,all in all i will need some geometry proxies sooner or later if I model everything :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

#5

Hmm, don’t know why I couldn’t see it before, okay now. Looking forward to seeing some Moomins in your scene :slight_smile:

#6

Looks great! From what I can see it seems you are sticking to the reference pretty well.

#7

Thanks for replies ,yep i try to stick but sometimes I do things i like more …
here is progress

and some references

My goal for today should be modeling and placing windows and back of the house …

#8

Still, thinking about windows:) trying different ideas
question - is there good geometry proxy in mental ray/max?
I want to go into really large poly count as its modeling challange but i know that it’s not going to handle (viewport) >3 milions poly or rendering whole big scene at a time…

Now i like those windows ,next I will refine back of the house - basement’s outside,then
i’m going to block in inside of the house ,because I need to know if windows are in good position to cut holes in building:)


I need to model one small detail on entrance roof too…

#10

This is looking great! Any kind of wireframes to show?

#11

Hi,
nice to hear that you like it :slight_smile:
Yup I will show wireframes soon :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

#12


:slight_smile: more later

#13

Testing different roofs


it’s good? not? which one you like more? what needs to be changed?
cheers

#14

small bird on top of the entrance:

im not 100% happy with this yet

#15

and another render ,for now i’m gathering references -screenshots of inside .

next update coming on monday :slight_smile:
cheers

#16

i loved the moominsgood luck with it!

#17

Hey looking good though have to be honest I don’t have a clue about this show. For the roofs I like the second one better (the one with more detail)

Good luck

#18

thanks for replies,
I started fight with proportions and modeling saloon…
Often I wonder if thing is too long or its just camera/drawing ilusion :slight_smile:

some things are floating etc its just wip:)
I need to hurry up as there are few rooms left !
cheers

#19

I want to see some moomins!! Love hows its going so far by the way. :smiley:

Looking good sir. Though I would say your renders are slightly too bright to make out all the detail.
