I posted 2 updates at my WIP thread of the English Student.

I think I finished modeling and texturing…
I made some testmorphs before I mapped the face and some questions came up.
Will you take a look pls?

Mike, tell you what I will do:

If the model’s OK by you, I’ll give you the files (done the UV layout and stuff). Then try to work here on the textures. In the meantime, if you can find someone better (I hope you do), you can always inform me. Also, do I need to give the blend shapes as well? If yes then how many?

Everyone: When you turn in your model use an archive program to compress your files. I have put links to Rarlabs and Winace (they also have a mac version) on the website links page. If you want to use something different I will add that link also so others can unpack your files. Include your model in native format and export to .OBJ format. Include any auxiliary files needed and add a text file {model_Name}.txt that contains your software, version number and any comments you want people down the pipeline to know. Email the archive file to me and I will post it on the website for others to download.

dark_jedi_1929: I’ll keep trying to find someone. The teacher will have at most 5 expressions. I’m not good at estimating what’s needed for lip synch. I suspect they can be easily added later. Turn in your model.

roodroosje: Since I don’t have an animator yet, I can’t answer your questions. I think you should continue to watch the thread after you email me the model in case we have to ask you questions.

Chenga: We now have a volunteer to take over your entire model. I hope you see this soon and stop worrying about fitting in enough time to make the deadline.

Everyone: I will be attending a family event on the otherside of the continent and I will be out of Internet contact from Oct 7 through the 10th. During that time Rockmanex will be in charge. I will post at least one more time before I leave.

*i got it Mike, actually the length of the hall way there is no problem about it, i can stretch my camera farther:). Yeah im an architect but shame on me :D, coz im not so sure regarding the gargoyles whether its a Georgian or Victorian, i hope bonestructure you can help me with this one, its the ramaining piece for me. im almost done with the staircase.

MIKE: Good luck on your trip:)

Kenio3d…its looking good but I’m very unsure about the wrinkles in the knee…by adding them in that spot it makes it an artistic thing where now that you’ve added the details of wrinkles on the knee (especially that large) you have the thing where the balance is put into context…since it has that the rest of the pants should have similar traits otherwise it throws the balance off.

Soo…it may behoove you to make the wrinkles toned down alot, or add similar wrinkles elsewhere as not to draw the eye away. Basically you have to even them out viusally, something like the shirt, otherwise it becomes too intense in an area. I hope this is making sense…

1.8xl: its getting there but I would offer an alternate suggestion…rough out everything, make what sculptors call a maquette, or rough, with all of your main “hero” elements and tertiary elements then slowly begin to bring it up…if you want to try the gargoyle thing then make it on the side and plot where you could put it and put something like a sphere there as a placeholder until Mike decides…but don’t let it delay the work on other parts while debating…the best thing is to keep the flow going.

mirabeau : gorgeous! The thing that strikes me as off (though this is up to you) is that the white crowning trim that borders the roof with the mini type turrets seems a bit too “white” in comparison to you other white border trim…if you did a luma pull on it in photoshop or shake or combustion or whatever you could see that it tends to “glow” a bit brighter than the other white trim…I thought perhaps this was due to the light placement but it seems as if you’re using a different texture…and in my experience, the roofs of houses, no matter how new, tend to have more of that discoloration at the top (being that the roof gets much weathering) than at the bottom half, so the color strikes me as a visual detraction (which, by detraction in this sense, I mean that the eye is drawn to that shape moreso than others) This is entirely your choice whether to change or not but I figured I’d point it out.

Rockmanex - thanks for comments, i’ll do something with white parts today

*here’s an update of the interior, i excluded the staircase. this is just a study on the textures and initial lighting set-up:)
–rendered in low res using vray

MIKE: do i have to put the door below the stair, based on the ref. photo? im not so familiar with victorian period, i browsed on the net with victorian floorings and i found out that mostly they are using wood parquet/flooring, is this applicable for the scene? thnkx

#256

A-FREAKIN-MAZING. :applause: . Keep up the good work XL

#257

*Tnx dark_jedi_1929:)

#258

Hi,

Rockmanex: I will see what can do to improve that.:thumbsup:

1.8XL: Really great work!!!

I have a doubt… Which the size of the texture maps that I should generate?.. because I don’t know in which resolution will be the film.

Thanks, I’m running against the time.:bounce:

#259

1.8xl…its getting there…I’m not sure about the overly whiteness (gives it that all too cg look) but if thats what you’re going for then stick to it. did you try adding color in the ambient channels and/or the lights/shadows?

I realize its a study too.

#260

*nope, i just used purely white color:slight_smile: for the ambient.
