The forest, the snow and the fate :-)

[(o)ne]

Hi all!

Here are some models and scene for our new short - it's about a girl-snowboarder who being chasing by angel and fiend :-) what do you think about it?

Now I'll try to update this topic recently.

[Chris-3DT]

lovely style, nothing to complain. reminds me of good old maniac mansion 2 day of the tentacle

[morgoth]

haha I love the 3rd guy. nice style too . I can't wait to see more

[Knut]

Looks great, only crit is that you'd might want to control the ink lines a bit more. Like on the snow. It looks a bit um.. harsh maybe. But great style none the less. The mechanical ski wire thing looks great!

:dance:

[(o)ne]

Thank you, guys. We're working on bodies and snowboards now. And there will be some interesting stuff too! :)

2 Knut - ok, we'll try it.

[(o)ne]

ok, here is a small update of girl character - now it looks more "girl-like" :)

[CountZero]

Very nice cartoon style! I think the snow looks bad though. It looks dirty, I'd prefer more blue-greyish shadow rather than black.

[Dutchman]

WOW! Very nice cellshading, very nice characters...! And also a VERY nice backgroundpainting! :) Looks good at the moment...!

[nico3d]

hahah I like them, they look really funny, I want to see more. So far is not enough to crit

[(o)ne]

Well, here are some thoughts on snowboard boots (but still thinkin' about colors for our characters :) ) + I've changed color of the snow. :)

[T0XIC]

yeah definatly a nice style- I still think the snow is a bit dark looking, but not bad.

[(o)ne]

thanks, Toxic, I agree about snow... workin' on it :)

[shaneb]

Perhaps adding a small amount of self illumination to the snow material may help....and a really light grey/blue in the ambient of the material. Looks interesting so far.

[Profane]

Nice work...
I like the ink-toon renders.It seems pretty easy to get nice results with it...you know....no textures on your models...but not really...I kinda like your work.
Thumbs up for ya!

[(o)ne]

Thanks for the comments!

Ok, here is a another update of our girl. Others are coming :)

p.s. still working on materials.

[(o)ne]

More details :)

[(o)ne]

ooook, here is another update.

[Profane]

I don't like the colours...I mean orange/blu/white...they don't work toghether...(but it's my personal opinion)but other than that the models look nicely done....I'm a fan of the toon-render style...

keep it up russian!! :)

[(o)ne]

Profane , you mean boots colors? Maybe you right, we'll think about it. Thank you for the support :)

[Profane]

...well...actually I was talking about both gloves and boots....anyway don't worry...:)

[(o)ne]

Profane, ok :) stay in touch.

[(o)ne]

And now... :) we present you the girl's snowboard and bindings.

And I have some good news - we'll post the first scene of our series soon! Stay tuned :)

[bunglo]

Those bindings are awsome! they so real (aside from the toon render) I'm looking at mine right now, how long did it take you to make them?!?

[(o)ne]

bunglo - thank you! About bindings - we did'em in couple of days.

[Profane]

all the stuff u put in the last post were amazing to watch!U did an excellent job!

[Dragonkiss]

your scene is amazing i like it a lot... and specialy the cel shadinc style...how did you do that? i mean can you give more detail about the shading style...keep working it's very nice...

[(o)ne]

Thank you, guys! We'll try not to dissapoint you in future too :)

2 Dragonkiss - it's standart 3D Studio Max Ink'n'Paint shader - nothing special. Try it for yourself and you will see - there can be a very nice result with it. If you tweak it a little :)

[Dragonkiss]

thanks for the tip i'm gonna try it soon....again, keep working cause it's really good

[Dragonkiss]

i forgot to ask if you can post a wire frame view of the hole scene?
THX

[(o)ne]

Yes, we will post a wire but a bit later :)

[Pedro Toledo]

Very nice style! Very well done!! ;)
Congratulations!!!

I never got nice results using Ink and Paint :grr: , allthough I had tryed a lot of times. I always lose details on the outlines...
Would it be a problem for you to send a pict of your texture settings? It would be very helpfull! thanx!!! :D

[(o)ne]

Pedro Toledo, thank you! We are preparing a tutorial how to reach such result. But if you want it now - contact me by PM. :) But I advise you to wait for the tutorial - there will be more usefull information about using Ink'n'Paint shaders and how to solve some possible problems.

[Dragonkiss]

this tutorial idea is great....do you a web site so that we can see more about you and your work?

[(o)ne]

We don't have website - we do this in our free time (I mean this cartoon, but our job is 3D graphics too - in medicine).

Here is one of my projects - (o)neBike.

And if you want more pictures I can send some by email.

[bunglo]

There is a tutorial on cel' shading at 3dtotal already ( if you wanted to use that) Here are the resaults I got from it ( I did this a while back)

[(o)ne]

bunglo, thanks for the info - guys, look for the existing tutorial :) But I think we'll write another one - because tutorial you are talking about is "how to make standard shader look like toon-material".
And we are using Ink'n'Paint shader. There are different results.

[kribz]

wow..looks amazing...keep up the good work:D

[Cracadoo]

Every single thing you have posted is... GREAT!!! Cant wait to see more. Nothing to crit....
Keep us updated.

[(o)ne]

kribz, Cracadoo, thank you! We're preparing first scene now :xyz: , please wait a bit more :)

[(o)ne]

Ok, guys - here is a little update of our Angel :halo: - excuse us for the lack of pictures - we have many work to do. But we aren't going to give up! We will made it ! :) :xyz:

And some words about background in this picture - it was made just for fun :)

[Dragonkiss]

[Cracadoo]

[(o)ne]
