speed modelling challenge 71 & 72 - Mini Me

[Andy_k-3DT]

The rules are simple

1, Each week we'll post a subject for you to model along with a time limit on how long you should spend on it. Spend no longer than the allocated time then post a render of your model. No cheating, we are relying on your honesty here and the idea of speed modelling is to simulate a "real world" environment. If you are working on a project and asked to show a concept model you'll need to be able to get somewhere near the target in the allocated time. Your submission should be a model created especially for this challenge and not one you have stored on your hard drive.

How you interpret the brief is up to you as long as the final model conforms to what we have asked for. Any images of models that do not match the brief will be removed and the poster disqualified

2, You may enter as many times as you like as long as each model is completely new and uses no components from other entries. Entries using models which are not original will be removed and the poster disqualified

3, Your entry may contain as many views of your model as you like but it must include a clear and easy to see wire frame of the mesh before any smoothing/subdivision has been applied. Please use a screen grab. No other method is acceptable and any "wire renders" or wireframes we can't see properly will be removed and the poster disqualified

4, You must include the following details with each submission: software used and time spent creating the model. Any further information is voluntary but posts not containg the required information will be removed and the poster disqualified.

5, Post only one image submission per entry which must be no larger than 800x600 pixels in either landscape or portrait format with a file size of no more than 100k. These images must be uploaded to our servers using the "browse" button on the forum reply page. Do not link to external images Files. larger than the maximum size or posts containing links to external images (other than for reference materials) will be removed and the poster disqualified

6, time spent on rendering or texturing or building a scene in which to display your model is not included in the alocated period to allow those with slower machines to participate on an even playing field. What we are looking for is the quality of the models you can produce "under pressure". If your model is not complete, you can still post as long as it's recognizeable.

These rules apply to everybody taking part there will be NO exceptions


This weeks challenge is actually one of our two week ones so you have plenty of time to be creative.

You have two hours to create a charicature/cartoon of yourself, hence the title "mini me"
Little Adition;
The subject stays as it is... but we have decided to broaden the scope a little as most of you already know.
As you are able to do a mini version of yourself. You are also able to model out one of the members from the forum. This brings two aditional rules to the game though:
1_The person you model out HAS to be a member in the Threedy forums.
2_If the model you make of another person is too offencive, she/he holds the rights to ask us to remove the image. No questions asked (But this will not disqualify you). So please be respectful to not have your hard work go to waste.

Have fun and let's see some great entries

Andy, Black, Marty and Fastrak



Time limit - 120 minutes
Deadline - 22.00 G.M.T. Wednesday 16th of November 2005

[adamos]

He he he, NICE Andy very nice. :))

[hammering3D]

hmmm, now I'm really curios wath people bring in the contest.

If in the last chalenge I try to make an monster and I was't satisfied with the result so I not post it, but I practice litle more organic modeling, No othere chance to practice organics, ... sweet...

Good luck to all,

[jawee]

sounds fun, and hard (:

[Design]

Very nice topis, if i may ask the entry should be only a model of me in cartoon or realisitic or i have to post me as a model and another one as the mini me?

[bobi]

What is mini me?

Some kind of creature?

I saw in some stupid movie(it's popular movie, but I forgot it's name) a sick&small grotescue character, named mini me.
Althrought, moderators wan't model anymore the examples, I think it's cool to tell more presisly what is the new subject, and keep in mind that moust of the people in here are not from England, or America, or Australia, Canada...
Hope you will understand...

[mboi]

bobi

You have two hours to create a charicature/cartoon of yourself, hence the title "mini me"

[peous]

don't know what is mini mi, don't think it's someting special, we just have to caricature ourselves in some "mini" form ?

[hammering3D]

Now the time limit is 120mins and not 60 mins.

And U have 2 weeks, and not one week,

And U must create a charicature of YOU,

A funny, deformed, distorsioned representation of U

Mini ME meens something like ... MINI YOU ... A LITLE CLONE OF U ... in the Movie Austin Power the mad scientist (Not Marty ;P) have a litle CLONE of him, that he caled MINI ME.

here U can see the scientis and his clone (MINI ME):
http://www.cinema24horas.com/filmes/austin_power2/austin_power2_01.jpg

[Andy_k-3DT]

just to clarify we are looking for you to model a three dimensional cartoon style version of yourself.

Mini Me was just an example, he pops up in the Austin Powers movies :)

It's not that we don't do examples any more it's just that sometimes we are too busy to get one done

HTH

Andy

[bobi]

Then I think I will skip this chalenge ( I just don't like charicature tipe of things).
Anyway, good luck to everyone.

[bobi]

O.K. Andy...
Maybe I will try...(but it will look uglyier then me, and I'am very ugly).
Thanks for clearyfing things.

[Vhector]

I know my picture is going to be ugly, and I don't speek of the modeling.
Cool topic

[Nehumanuscrede]

Wow, this one will be a toughie. All due to the fact that you KNOW what you look like so you'll be able to see all the flaws you model as you model LOL

Should we post a reference pic in order to judge how accurate the modeling IS to the real you ?

On an related note, you shouldn't have any issues finding any reference material :D

[adamos]

No, no, no to ref pic. ;P
BTW i thing that this week its gona be more about talking than modeling.

Black has suggested a lovely little twist for next weeks section of the challenge so photos are a very good idea

[bobi]

Hey, Andy, i hope you are still connected.
What is the chanses to make somekind of a chat on this site?
I know this is not the right place to ask this question, but I think that many people wan't this.
Say, what is there (maybe) a problem, so all of us can think, and solve it...

As I said...

[bobi]

Alright Andy.
This page don't give me a permision to chat.
Don't know why.
Didn't do anything wrong.
Why?

[Black]

Black has suggested a lovely little twist for next weeks section of the challenge so photos are a very good ideaGuess I have to now mention about the twist as well now don't I? :eek:

Okay folks here's the new deal... As a result you can do only one model of yourself for the weeks competition no matter how long it takes you to capture the essence and simplify it good enough to model in the given time.

So to introduce a bit more VARIATY to the week. We have ddecided that you can model a cartoon character of one of the other members as well!

Now there is going to be a few rules attached to that in order to keep things from getting complex.
1 The person you are going to model HAS to be a member from here.
2 After all there is a case of respecting the person you model out. Shall he or she request that they feel insulted your entry shall have to be removed (Not necessarily disqualified though)

You CAN ask for permission first or you can suprise them.. your choice.. but shall any one be disturbed... feel notified that you may have worked for nothing.


Now concider this also as to be a call out for those that especially do NOT wish to be modeled out.
If you don't feel comfortable with giving someone the freedome of modeling you. Please answer to this post.
Friday I shall update the rules page with the list of people that refuse to be modeled as well as this little adition. Until then just try capturing your mini version of yourself! :)

Best of luck!!


Black

Ps:
Yes you can also model out moderators... Don't know about the other moderators... But I pesonally don't mind shall you choose to humiliate me. Go wild if you care to waste your time such. :hurt: (Tip... be careful with Marty.. he does the judging you know :) )

[eagle4]

how about this!!! i come back after a few months of being too buisy to even look at this site and the fantastic and much respected Fastrak and Marty Mcfly are now Mods!!! good work guys

i'll see about trying my hand at this, but i'm no good at organic models



eagle4

[Segreto]

sounds like a lot of fun for this weeks challenge.

Black, should we post a pic of ourselves with our render or by itself, so that other people can model us?

[Andy_k-3DT]

Alright Andy.
This page don't give me a permision to chat.
Don't know why.
Didn't do anything wrong.
Why?


I'll have a look at it tomorrow - it's getting late here and I need to sleep.

Andy

[Black]

sounds like a lot of fun for this weeks challenge.

Black, should we post a pic of ourselves with our render or by itself, so that other people can model us?Hmmm ... It seems that it will take a lot out of the image size we are permitting you to go for.
You may post it seperately or together. The model itself shall not exactly be judged by it's convincing realness.. it shall be more judged by the humour you manage to capture. So try to catch something that is sort of unmistakably you as a priority.

Some of you may be especially asked to provide a ref image as the week goes. But unless it shall be the case It seems better to not make it obligational.
It would be col to put a face on some of the names though :)


As for those that think they should/could post a picture of themselves for others to model them from:
you can if you want to.. It would give those intended to get an idea.

The thing about modeling a member is that you can actually get away with their avatars up to a level with some of them... or you can simply ask them for a picture. Through here or a private message.
In the case of modeling a member, you just have to convince us that you have captured something that would describe that individual thoroughly.


Black

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

I definately plan on joining in on this with you guys. This will be an interesting two weeks for sure. Before anything was mentioned about modelling someone else I was thinking about such a thing, I'm glad Black and Andy have added that nice touch.

For those that wish to model me (as if anyone would want to do that), you're more than welcome to... but be warned... for as Black noted... I do judgings too.... :evil:

[Black]

Actually for those that have been following up on the earlier weeks...

There has had been a mention of a subject that shall be fun but very difficult if you remember. Well this was the subject in mention. We postponed it to try and find a way around the challange being too impossible.

A particular model has been modeled out through a few attempts to configure the duration we shall demand... (Which was definately not an hour). I'll try and post that one for you guys as soon as I get back to my HD.


Black

[Radulan]

I've been planning on doing one of these..
It'll be nice to have it on hand, afterall it will give me a realistic stock head to eventually change for possible characters.

BTW, I have no problem if anyone else wants to use my head to do their entry. in fact here is me.

(Perhaps i should've comed my hair better before getting the pictures taken. and if anyone knows some intelligent women in Florida....)

[Aogor]

I'm a very shy person. But I tried to model something that reminds me. I also tried to use a style near the Family Guy Style. The title of this entry should be "Maya user worried about the recent Autodesk's aquisition." :smug:

[eagle4]

Aogor you shouldnt be worries about the recent aquisition of maya by autodesk, look at this the logical way, maya is being used my HEAPS of places all arorund the world, there would be no reason why autodesk will kill of maya, no reason at all, you may find that in probably a few years time, probably 3+, you may start seing both apps getting many of the same features, but maya will still be maya. also Autodesk spends reduculous amounts on R & D each year which means that maya will benefit from this as much as max

now why are you worried?




eagle4

[adamos]

Nice to see that some one its work insted of talking. Good to go Aogor.
But now its time for me. Its more or less me i`m skiny bold and most the time i have glases on my nose (-0,5), thats all.
Modeling time:1:40 min (its a lot of work to put those vertex in a right place)
Software: Max 6.0
BTW:
#1. good lack to all you modelers out here
#2. ye my nose its realy that big, i hate it ;P

[Aogor]

first: this week I'll use a photo as my avatar.
Second: Eagle4, I'm not worried. That was something that I used to explain that expression of my face in the drawing. Just this, nothing more.
Third: Adamos, your first entry this week is fantastic. Very good job, man.

[xcessi]

adamos: Excellent job...

[Jor-Dan]

aogor... lol your miniyou looks like Glen Quagmire on Family Guy hehe

[TheWinterLord]

Aogor I dont watch a lot of family guy but that is what I had in mind when I looked at ur picture, (before reading the text) good job!
adamos first of all i love the Mini You, however the ears look a bit weird. Secondly can u post a reference pic, it would be nice? anyways if you dont want to do that i dont want to maek you feel liek you have to. because then i would feel bad. (:

this is gonna be a cool speed modeling challenge session! Good luck to all, may the mini me (you) be there!

Cheers

[Orkron]

:-d

[carlw]

I'm happy for anyone to model me....i can only find one suitable image now.
I wouldn't mind modelling someone too...i'm hoping more ppl can post pics and i'll see what comes up.

[RockstarKate]

Hmm..
I've been working on a 3D cartoon version of myself... I've spent well over 8 hours on the head!!!
I guess if I'm going to compete in this one, I'll have to make a much simpler version.
Oh, anyone who wants to model a kind of chubby girl with glasses and a shaved head is welcome to model me. In this photo I have the perfect haircut to be a 3D model :)

[OmegaN]

coool I just must get an entry for this one =) well i decided to join the photoclub, so heres me:

[Black]

Lol this is getting to be extremely fun :)

Great to have a charismatic face now to attach to all those charismatic characters! :roll: It's good to know that so far all is sport!

Radulan;
Thats some very useful refference! Thanks behalve of everyone. (Sorry, I don't know too many girls that would deserve you from that area :( )

Aogor... Thats a good idea. Changing your avatar for the week I mean.

Adamos;
Hey at least you have a very smooth skin!

Don't demoralise Kate; ... Attractive women have always been hard to capture in a 3D model :)



Well all in all; good luck everyone!

[Diabolos]

but............I haven't figured out how to use Maya cloth yet - I guess I'll have to go naked..............then again I'll just model my head and spare everyone.

D,

[mimi01]

Although difficult, this will be a really nice and funny challenge. I'll have to try to model a "Mini Mimi". :roll:

Good luck to all!!!!

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

...I'll have to try to model a "Mini Mimi". :roll:

Mini Mimi... that sounds perfect... like it's right out of Austin Powers! :D I'm starting work on my model, but no one is getting any pics until I get my haircut! :roll:

[Makonde]

this challenge is great, can't wait to get started, :D my hair will be easy to model, i think :D, can't wait to see what everyone looks like... should be amusing :)

Aogor: cool model and style, i love family guy :D
adamos: wow, that's an awesome model already
Picture club: nice pics so far :D i might post one later, but would like to model myself first :D

[Old_Nick]

Interesting...
Adamos: nice entry, I like the style.

I have a question: Are we allow to model only the head or we must
model the full body of our-selfs-mini-me.?

good luck everyone !

[Vhector]

It goes how further the scarrier. First halloween, now horror (kiddin).
Adamos, cool glasses.

[PKT]

Software: 3d studio max 7
Modeling time: 2 hours
Hair: Ornatrix
Texturing and hair tweeking: about 1.5 hours
Rendering: 22sec

btw, really cool model Adamos and Aogor.

[Black]

Old_Nick;
The time limit was extended in aid to permit you guys to model out a descriptive portrait or to at least have enough time to present a full figure.

You can model out even a pair of baggy eyes and lips if you look too much like Mic Jagger. Or you can go into detailing the whole character as much as your time will allow you. Your call.



As most of you already know by now: the rigging is independent from the given time limit. You may rig your model after you have modeled it out. But it is fatal that we know what you have modeled prior to the rigging. So at least your wire has to be in the default pose.


Good Luck!


Black

[Design]

Aogor Nice idea, ill do the same for this week too. it is good to put faces on these names.
NoW the ladies say that im a handsom man, but im not lucky with pics. so this is like the best i could do.

Keep the comments to your selfs lol

I will post a decent refrence with portrait and profile later on for whom ever wants to model.

Adamos, Nice model man.
Aogor I like family guy, funny buddy

[Antievo-3DT]

Wow! Cool topic!

PKT:
That is just about the most scary thing I have seen, lol!
It really looks like you... Only a scary version :p

[Radulan]

Well after the pain and torment of putting this together I guess I should share.
Definitely different trying to do a recognizable face... though I don't think I quite got it.

[krave]

good work everyone so far.

well here it is, yes it's very crappy, but it is also my first ever attempt at a head. it 'somewhat' resembles me, but i was semi happy for my first attempt ever at a head (note i didn't use any tutorials or anything, totally my own 'method' which prolly explains the crapness lol)
i also had most of it modelled really quickly, and was texturing/adding/correcting small details in the second.

[Rooky]

Yeah! One really nice toppic :) Hope I`ll find some time in those two weeks to participate :P
Adamos - verrrrry nice :O
Aogor - nice style you have there :) I like it!!! =]
PKT - sweet hair style :D but the model is pretty neat :)
Radulan - great modeling!!
Krave - you seem to be a very funny guy :D :D

[TheWinterLord]

Wow Radulan thats pretty similar to ur reference pic! good job, too bad u didnt get the beard and mustash (however u spell that) maybe u just shaved... (:

[Délé]

Hey, some nice models already! I wouldn't have thought so soon.

Ok, I'll take one for the team, lol. :eek: :) Here are my reference photos if anyone wants to model me.

Some things you should know: The photos are of horrendous quality because all I have is a very cheap web cam right now. Also, the photos are black and white so I should let you know that I have red hair and bluish/green eyes. I always wear pajama pants and a plain white t-shirt.

I can assure you that I will not be offended by anything modeled. So if you model me, feel free to take any artistic liberties. :) It's all in good fun. :)

[Antievo-3DT]

Ok, now... This is my first attempt.
The first head I have ever made, and it does not look that grate, lol.
I had some problems in the UVW Unwrap as well, but...
Well, I will overwrite this with a better entry later :D

Model in 3D Studio Max 7.0
Model: 120min
Unwrap/textures, ect: 20min
Render: About 1min (VRay)

[Radulan]

Actually I did shave, which is why I didn't feel like putting it on. BTW, the mustash and beard combo is called a "vandyke". (Even though alot of mistakingly call it a goatee. Goatees have no mustash)

Antievo: I like the fact that you ise uv mapping to do the texture, I was considering doing the same, but since I have glasses... it might make it more difficult.

Krave: It looks like you made your's by altering a sphere. I find it more realistic to build it up a few faces at a time, though I'll admit it takes practice. I look forward to your next entry.

PKT: Shame that your face and head don't quite match.. the face should be scaled up a bit, also believable cheeks can be triky, great try.

adamos: Great characture. Though I'm curious to see you do a photo-real one. :)

[Makonde]

PKT: nice hair, looks like wolverine's, cool :D
radulan: i can really tell it's you, good job :)
krave: i'm kinda scared
dele: nice pics lol
antievo: i like the hat :D

[Brodix]

heeh I may have to "try" this one out, Though I suck at organics

By the way wasnt there a Mini Mimi on the Drew Carey Show

[Old_Nick]

Ok, thanks Black !

and good luck to everybody.

[Sir_Render]

Hi guys,

I don't know if I'm gonna have the time to participate, but why not share the joy of introducing ourselves, If I'm gonna do one, it'll be pretty evil.

greetz

[Antievo-3DT]

Radulan:
Yeah, I am not any good at UV(W) mapping, but I can use it for some simple things.

Makonde:
Thanks man! I don't look that scary in real life :p

[Jor-Dan]

I -suck- at organics... I have never been able to successfully model a human head, in any degree of abstractness ^_^

But here's the reference pic that I (or anyone else that wants to attempt it) am going to use:

[adamos]

:dance: Happy birthday Redulan :dance:

[DESPISTADO]

woww a lovely challenge, this will be very fun :crazy: :crazy: :evil: dont know if i will have time for this but you can modeling me as you like, i wanna see reference pic from marty ;P hehehe he is a nice character to modeling :P :crazy: anyway here my ugly face.

btw Happy birthday Radulan

best regards

[PKT]

Thank you Antievo, Rooky and Makonde for the nice comments(the hair is made with Ornatrix btw).

I made the face look as much like my own as possible at first, but this is a charicature, so I intended to make it non realistick :P, thanks for the constructive crits though Radulan and happy birthday!

[Lighter]

Happy birthday, Radulan.

Hope you have a day fill with more ass-kickery than anyone could imagine they could have on their birthday. :D

[Black]

BTW, the mustash and beard combo is called a "vandyke". (Even though alot of mistakingly call it a goatee. Goatees have no mustash)Lol I am getting to the conclusion that we just might enjoy each others company shall we sit and chat :)
I'm convinced that I usually annoy people with corrective details in every subject we get into. I really don't know how my wife is able to live with it.

Nuf said... Happy Birthday to you and success with your year to come.


Depistado;
Hmm you are going to have to wait for Marty's picuters... My cousine used the hair-drier Marty had sent her on him... He REALLY has to do something about that hair first.
Actually Marty, just post a picture like it is.. this is as a result a competition to make a cartoon you!



You guys are doing fantastic! ... with the modelings and the spirit! It is starting to seem like I will only be altering the rules page to add in the bit about the mini-member and not a list of people that wish to not be modeled out.

Good Luck!


Black

[adamos]

Right Black, i think that this week its gona be more about talk and photos than modeling challege,and Its not good i think

[Black]

This is where quality really challanges quantity.

I have modeled out peoples heads (and even helped construct photo generators on the subject) for some time now. And I can say that for even my self or many at a simiallar level or higher; it takes much more time and construction to bring out a head that ressembles some one than it does to create a convincing randome head.

A good majority of models... especially organic ones... suffered greatly from a lack of pre-calculated effort. And we intended on forcing you this time to do a model; look back at it and do it again if necessary in order to both be able to fit into the time frame and also get a chance to re-examine bits and peaces.
Even for those of you who have always modeled their entries such, this will be a very good exercise.

While deciding on the subject title we did not expect an overflow of enties.. but definately a lot of sweat.

And hey... you have to admit that it is fun.


Black

[Radulan]

Black I make it a sort of point to know a little about everything... kinda funny that way.

Oh yeah.. it is my B-day.. well not in the USA yet... which is what counts for me... Thank you guys for the well wishing... Now if only I didn't have so much due this week. Yeah.. I'm gonna crash this weekend.. lots of laying around and putting the feet up. Maybe even get other people to cook for me...

[mimi01]

Fantastic models so far! Very great to meet peoples' faces!!!

Ok, here's Mini Mimi: :o

Modelling time: 120min
textures: 55min
lights and render: 20min

[Radulan]

Not only Have I found that artists are the worst judge of their work, but I think people are also the worst judge of their own looks. And if that is true I must be a knockout. ;)

Great model Mimi01

[Black]

Never met an artist... wouldn't know how to compair.

But know a lot of very bad judges... and they were all people. :)


Black

[peous]

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

Ferron G.P.: Check your image size bud... 800 by 600 is the maximum size.

I started work on mine today, I may have to give it a second go though... Oragnics are scarey to me... but this week's too good to pass by. (Heh... my first try was... uhh... let's say a most interesting experiment!)

Thanx to all, “mim.Armand”. :max:

[TheWinterLord]

hmm, yes. now if ur modeling a head, it is hard to make people be able to tell it is you. especially with my poor head modeling skills...(this is a thinker) i made several bodies and heads, so that i ill get up the speed in making the final one of me later hehe.

[Black]

Hey folks.. I know this is going to be my typical pickiness.

But unless the only reason you are posting a picture is for you to be able to help us compair your submited model to the original you... you may want to take Radulan's post as a good example. It is much easier for others to reffence from.

Another fantastic example wood be mood shots presented by Mim. They don't get too much better than that (Maybe a side view too :) )


Well any how, as mentioned before... Photo's are not obligational. It is a volentary act. So do as you please.
Just please care to keep this thread from becoming like the "show a picture of yourself" thread that Sessy seems to have dominated. The photo's are 'modeling intended'.


Marty;
Model Marty good!.. Take my warning serious. He is a dangerous moderator now!


Good Luck everyone!

[adamos]

OK Black so my entry its not good enoguh just couse i havent send ref ;) I will send one as soon as its posible.

[Black]

Mm no not necessarily Adamos.

Since it was not stated in the rules to obligationally post a photo with your entry... Your entry passes by me.
How ever as Design put it.. we have nothing to compair it to. Nor does the judges. So it may be to your advantage or disadvantage to add a photo as well.

If you are ok with posting your photo. It can only help, and it would be cool to see what you look like :).
But you won't be disqualified if you don't.

Depistado;
Hmm you are going to have to wait for Marty's picuters... My cousine used the hair-drier Marty had sent her on him... He REALLY has to do something about that hair first.
Actually Marty, just post a picture like it is.. this is as a result a competition to make a cartoon you!


lol black, i have always thought that marty is a cartoon character lol, im just kidding marty :p but stay away from electricity and magnetic fields ist really bad for hairs :D
i really want to model cartoon style maybe sunday.

Hmm... There are some hot guys around here!

RockstarKate there are beautiful girls too

mimi nice work, i finally know how the brazilian artist girl looks like, this is a great challenge because we know the people behind the polys

best regards

[RockstarKate]

I have to rave for a sec here...
This was absolutely the most fun I've ever had doing one of these challenges, and it made me work in a completely different way than I would normally. I'm actually really happy with how it came out :o I've been trying to do a cartoon version of myself for ages, but this one is so much better than any of the others. I think the time limit really helped. Normally, I model heads using face modelling (one poly at a time), but this time I had to use a sphere to get it done in time. The body started as a spline model for the torso and I went from there. Anyway, this was so much fun. [/rave]
I'll definitely go back and finish it later. As you can see, I ran out of time and had to scramble to make hands, feet and glasses. (Yes, the feet are squashed spheres. I only had a minute left!) So glad I shaved my head :evil:
I posted my pic before, so you can tell me if it looks like me. I'm sure if anyone I know saw it, they would know it was me immediately.
Sorry for going on and on... I'm just very excited and deliriously tired.
Here's Mini Kate:

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

Well guys... I finally have something worth posting. If any one's interested, my pics can be found here. (http://www.filefactory.com/get/f.php?f=6c3a17f4b6334772d9aabbbc) Now for my image, I spent the whole 2 hours on the head. The hair was done after the 2 hours and many many test renders! As you can see... he has no ears... I'm thinking about completing them and adding them though. But for now, I think I need a rest. Also... for any one interested... I made another render of something that came up in my mind when creating my Mini-Me... you can find it here. (http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/8604/marty202green5jc.jpg)

Edit: I reworked the hair a bit more... so I'm linking the original image I made here (http://img162.imageshack.us/img162/8476/marty202final9bp.jpg) and the newer alternate version here (http://img162.imageshack.us/img162/949/marty202green27mk.jpg) .

What were you doing eating powder donuts? :smug: :smug: :smug:

[sarvesh]

nice comp. i will soon join you guys back, now hell is here dont be afraid.i will be a bit easy this time.

[Radulan]

Hello guys. and now after my bitrthday and looking at myself seriously and re-evaluating everything. I though it might be best to clone myself and take over the world with millions of copies of myself.... well maybe not.
And here is another me. I like this one better, though I'm still planning on doing a cartoony and full body one..
Oh.. and yes the time surprised the heck out of me too. I guess it's because I knew what I needed to do after doing it once before.

(edit: Since I make the textures from scratch everytime, I can never be certain of what I'll put together.)

[Aogor]

Well, now i decided to use dragon ball as inspiration for my modelling. I used to like that anime serie. And I tried to use fur making my short hair. I think its is not that bad.
Jor-Dan: Quagmire? Yeah! Kig-reeh, Kig-ree, Kig-ree!
This time, I think my mini-me is a bit more handsome. Not so ugly as that
Quagmire. But you Know. More ugly more funny.
Radulan: First, Happy birthday! Second, Very good model, but I think blender hasn't rendered very succefully. The textures look like texture of nintendo 64 game characters.
RockstarKate: Nice job.
arkadius: Good model, man. Have you used nurbs to model?(I'm very bad using nurbs for modelling faces)

[Design]

Radulan Vbeautiful man this is very good, and i saw it i would say it is yours, it looks alot like you. very good job.
Aogor I like this entry better than the first one, it is cuter.

[Black]

kcalB,
Who is spelling ur name wrong?
muhahahaha!Now the sadest part is that I have to even hear this from a guy who can't simply eat a donut without making a mess! :hurt:



Wonderful works guys. Some very good catches here!
Keep em up!

[Orkron]

Bully & TD3-kcalb,
What part of "God I suck at this" was unclear to you chowder heads? Ya'll better b careful or I'll model you looking that bad too!

[OmegaN]

Hello guys!

Here is a caricature mini-omegan. This is probably the hardest challenge so far, and for my entry I have spent much time on premodelling (model heads so I get a fast workflow). I dont know how many heads I modelled before this but quite a few. I broke down the modelling process in 30min for the body and 90 min for the head. The hardest part with this challenge is to get the model actuall look like someone wich I never have done before and that was quite a challenge, dont know if I got it this time eather =) Hope you like it. Ps I didnt have time or the energy to rig this guy so the picture looks quite booring.

[OmegaN]

Aogor: cool, i like the second one the most. have a nice cartoony touch!

adamos: nice head. You look like an smart professor of some sort :D

PKT: cool, i like the texture.

Radulan: nice entrys both of them, they both look like you =)

krave: hehe unique modelling. It looks a little like a cute monkey (no hard feelings I hope, just the model looks a little like that) =)

Antievo: nice model =) Just the lightning that feels strange (or maybe its the texture that is oversaturated).

mimi01: nice one. you nailed the eyebrowns! I like the cool hairstyle =) Nice that you took the courage to model more than just the head.

arkadius: really detailed head there, gj.

Ferron G.P.: hehe diffrent rendering =) btw you better check the rules on size of the picture , it should be 800x600

altus: I dont know if its fits in cartoony or caricature, but It a very good modelled head.

mim: haha many references. If I do one more entry, ITS GONNA BE YOU!

RockstarKate: one of the better cartoon style models here. Nice that you made the whole body, its appriciated =)

Marty_McFly-3DT: hehe marty you sure can make models look evil!

Orkron: cant say its that bad, maybe a little rough edges and maybe should have rounder chins, but who cares :D . And you sure have catched a nice expression there. I wont mention the mouth texture ;)

artecnl: hehe actually I think that one looks scary. Little like the doll "chucky" or whats the movies name. Nice with a little scene that resembles what you like to do =)

[Black]

Hmm guess there is a relationshîp between his ability to handle his food and his spelling :eek:
Don't worry Orkron... we understand. Better luck next time. Not THAT bad.
(Ps: Your child is adorable! Blue in envy here.)



My hardware still hasn't returned from the repairs. Gives me some time to spare tomorrow. I hope you guys won't mind me giving a few of you a try.
Wish me luck!

[Aogor]

Omega N: very nice model, guy. Rigging the model would be very nice. However, to me, this part of work is too hard. I stop working with 3ds because of this. So I started working maya. But I'm not good on rigging yet.

For this model I used my real style. Not too realist, not too cartoonish. I've used maya paint fx for the hair instead of the fur node of my last entry.

[Orkron]

Hey Black, thanks, she's actually gonna be 4 on Nov 21st :D But thats one of the last pictures I've had taken of me :) been a long time.

thanks for the comments OmegaN

Thanks, and you're welcome. I think you're model definitely resembles you in the face, but you'll have to post a shirtless photo of yourself before I pass judgement on the rest ;)

[artecnl]

lol OmegaN yes, i think ihe doesn´t look like me, only the hair and the big ears, and the soccer, lol , yes, i think is a little bit scary,
and you did a great job, on these smiley guy, he´s doing a lot of ab's ,nice job :D

[mboi]

Loads of good entry's on another difficult week, I've been away for a while so I thought I'd better start working on something but I'm on my 4th attempt and still I have nothing I want to post. so it's a good job it's a 2 week comp eh?

Hopefully I'll post something soon.

[PKT]

Thats a scary simmilarity Radulan, very good joob.
I agree with Design, alot better this time Aogor, cool style.
Lol, thats just funny OmegaN, I can really tell your from Sweden :P

[Antievo-3DT]

Hey guys!
Thanks for the comments!

OmagaN:
Yes, something is wrong with my render/light. I could not figure out what it was...
The Texture is fine... It's the render... :p
Your model is grate btw!

[arkadius05]

Heya :D
Thanks for replays guys :)
- Makonde - thx :)
- Altus - Thanx man, I like your model too, nice edge - loops but I like more the first one that you presend on the other forum ;) pozdro ;)
- RockstarKate - realy nice model, simple, but nice - I can feal the character of it. Like it a lot.
- Marty - Whoaa... Joker from Batman? ;) Looks good.
- Orkon - Not bad, but I think that you should work a little bit on your Wire, make it more anatomical (in bouth entries)
- Artencl - wow, It looks like a person who like to drink some or drink a little some more... ;) This eyes ;)
- Radulan - Nice, it looks similar to you. Good work, but the render is really bad ;(
- Aogor - Thx man :) Nope, I use only box modeling with polymodeling, actually I don't use the other types at all :) I like you Dragoonball entry more, It has a nice cartoon style. The last one is IMHO to... hmm.... sweet like boys band :>
- Omegan - Thx man :) Nice wire of your head, but the rest of the body have some bugs - It's to flat in first place... But nice work on cartoon style.

Thanks you all guys :D

[OmegaN]

Thanks Antievo and PKT :D

arkadius: yea the body is buggy and not perfect forms (like to thin, the breast is aligned with the shoulders wich is not the case IRL, just made it like that because it was alot faster :P) etc but consider the whole body with fingers, legs, pants is made in 30 minutes, theres really no time for much vertex tweaking, so thats the best I could do in given time :D but thanks for the critique

[TheWinterLord]

Im not totally satisfied, however i did rig this guy... anyways hes mini me and he looks pretty cool with his mic and headphones. I spent a lot of timemaking heads and bodies. i made the whole model quick but I ended up using a lot of time tweaking everything to fit hehe.
Reference picture? yes uh i dont know where it is, my dog ate it... (mini me doesnt look like me)

Il try make some more entries, good job so far!
File Too Large. Limit for this filetype is 100.0 KB. Your file is 100.2 KB... (:

[TheWinterLord]

OmegaN nice entry, where in sweden do you live? I think i might have seen you on the street or somewhere, Kalmar or Skåne perhaps? hehe my memory isnt so clear. well anyways ur mini me is hilarious. (:

[OmegaN]

TheWinterLord: Nice entry. He looks like a "lock" dancer (dont know the word for that style, its like robot movements or something similar). I live in Eskilstuna now since august. Before that Västerås for about 2years and Before that I lived in Norrköping (where I lived until I started university and moved to v-ås) =)

[TheWinterLord]

hehe ok well then I havent seen u, anyways yeh he lokos like a robot dancer, probably because of the pose he is standing when I modeled him.

[Radulan]

Since there were comments about the render I re-did it. hopefully it is a bit better.

arkadius: Boy band? yeah I think so. That wasn't my intention. But mistakes happen. That style also ressembles romantic mangas made for girls. Hahhaha! I was trying to make me handsome and this mess happened.
TheWinterLord: Very nice entry, man. Today I'll model a very simple character and try rig it too.
I realy need to learn how to setup characters. well, for maya users there is a good site that give a good idea about this subject. The address is www.rigging101.com

[Black]

I guess we are all working on improving the entries.
Darn do those 2 hours FLY by!

I have tried to model out a few mini versions of those that posted refference images that were particularily easier to use... and shall hopefully be posting them once I have rigged and posed them (Possibly a few days later)

There are actually some members that are dear to me from the old times back and they have not yet posted along this thread, but that I would really like to give a try to model out...
I shall most possibly be messaging you guys if no answer comes. But shall you be reading this post; Juha, Andoy, Lestat... Would you mind my attempting to model you guys out?
(The photo's you gave me way before were perfect Juha... I can use them unless you would wish I work on other ones. Andoy, Lestat... I would apreciate if you could help me out on the pictures bit)


Black
Actually I tried you also Mimi... but had to give up for the day from it not being too easy at this moment with the image you provided (As beautiful as you may look in it) :(

[juha]

hello Black, sure you can use those photos, and model me.

[andoy]

Black-3DT:I have no problem at all with your request, it's nice to be thought of.I really want to try and get in on this challenge also myself, but i have some rather pressing matters that are taking my time right now. But i shall try.
As for the pictures i will see what i can dig out for you.

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

Hmm Black, I noticed that I didn't make your list. :) It's cool though, I understand... I wouldn't want to model me either. I did get my haircut though... so now I don't look as bad as my mini me. I may even link a pic of me without my hat. :halo: Well I gotta go for now, but I think I'm gunna give me another shot so.... have fun guys. :D

[andoy]

Ok for any of you that had any pre concieved ideas as to who i was, these are for you ( and Black-3DT of course )
I guess any thought of staying even slightly anonymous have been thrown out the window this week.. for a lot of us, but it is great fun to actually be able to faces to names at last.
These pics are open for anyone to utilise, i am sorry there are no full length shots but i have to leave a bit to your imaginations....
The best front, side and 3/4 shots i could find on my HDD and for anyone interested the woman is my Thai wife.
Enjoy them and do with them what you want, i am very open minded and shall take no offence so long as all is within the spirit of the challenge. I do hope to participate this week but time is tight for me right now.

[adamos]

New one from me.
But first:
am not gona tell who that is until this person will aprove this one, but this is caricature of some one from this forum. This face its all about nose and lips (NICE).
And now detail:
Modeling time: 110 min
Software: Max 6.0 + PhotoImpact for texture

[Aogor]

I made this one just to pratice rigging. But I was too lazy doing my walk cicle. So my mini me became a lame. hehhe.

adamos: You has got a realy nice modelling style, man.

[Black]

Hmm Black, I noticed that I didn't make your list. :) It's cool though, I understand... I wouldn't want to model me either. I did get my haircut though... so now I don't look as bad as my mini me. I may even link a pic of me without my hat. :halo: Well I gotta go for now, but I think I'm gunna give me another shot so.... have fun guys. :DLol... now aren't we touchy? :)
Marty I have ALREADY modeled you out! And I have to say that I really feel your pain. You ARE a devil to model.
A little advice for those that tend to model Marty from the photo's he has provided... apply a spherical distortion on the front view photo to fix the lens distortion. His lips and nose make more sence then :)

But since you were not conciderate enough to take off the hat to begin with. You are going to have to live with a model of you WITH a hat :p


Juha, Andoy;
Thanks guys... I was almost sure you wouldn't mind. But it would only be fair to ask you first. I really enjoyed this weeks challange as a challange for myself as well. And would be honoured to add you two in my collection.
Juha, It seems I am getting my data recovered by mid of this week (Darn is this whole thing getting expensive!). I'll complete and send you guys the photo-realistic one then... but will be starting on the less demanding cartoonish model very shortly. Don't forget that you still owe me a high res texture shot of you two :)
Andoy, these will definately do for now (They realy compliment your sofisticated looks).
Actually any simple photo or even sketch is enough to extract a character once you get used to it. the better the refference the less the work. You my friend are worth the work, so don't get in a squeeze to provide better photo's.

I guess it is now time to PM Lestat and ask if he is ok with it.


Adamos;
Hmmm lets see now... a member with beautiful green eyes...

[Jediego]

Well, here I am, not very cartoonish, but is close enough I think. By the way I´m the one with the flashy eyes in the avatar if you want to compare.

If you really want to, I can send you some other pics.

You are doing really great jobs, folks.
Keep it up!

[sculptorwanted]

By the time I modeled a good likeness of him my timer went off.
(Whew) I hope this still counts. I would gave him some hair but I ran out of time. Design is an excellent subject, He reminds me of actor Arnold Vasloo. I hope he likes this.

[Design]

SculptorWanted WOW WOW WOW, very very good job, thanks alot. appreciate it, it looks like me.
the nose needs some but i can understand the time problem. it looks great.

[sculptorwanted]

I dont no what happened with the ear*%!$#!!. It was OK when I was in low poly
and then when I smoothed it got messed up. Should have used Z-Brush to fix that earler but I wanted to keep it in 3D Max.

[Design]

man still it looks wonderful. the profile is perfect, the shape of the head,
the portraite i didnt see it yet.
still man perfect just perfect.. thanks again

[Radulan]

One of the problems that I had and see a bit on others is the idea of the cheekbone. The cheeks protrude from the face some to help complete the area around the more sunken eye.

Jediego: good first try. You face does seem a little flat though, you could make the sides of the face go back a bit sooner.

Sculptorwanted: The resemblance to design is great. Did you creat a UV map for the whole head? If so I'd like to see the Texture map. I have been thinking of trying to turn my ref photos into something I could map.

[TheWinterLord]

sculptorwanted Amazing, really cool, i dont know what to say.. modelling likeness is exelent and textures are also really good. I need to work on my texturing skills, however school is taking up a lot of my time these days.

[OmegaN]

nice model sculptorwanted.

I just must ask you mods here.. the rules states "You have two hours to create a charicature/cartoon of yourself" .. And I just wonder if the "normal heads/bodys" is allowed, because there is a few entrys now wich dosnt have eather charicature (wich means ridicule, parody, exaggerated or distorted picture of the subject) or cartoon style. Just wondering so ppl dont mess upp like with the fish challenge and the info gets out in the end of the challenge =)

As I stated, I just simply ran out of time. I would have used FFD mods.
Did the best I could.
If try doing the next one in Z-Brush it will probable look better.
About the fish Challenge...that was my falt lol.

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

Well it's interesting that you mentioned that OmegaN... for I was just thinking about the same thing. Although I'm not going to personally speak for Andy, Black or Fastrak... I can at least give an opinion from my point of view.

The subject is to make a charicature... actually... the exact quote from the first post of the challenge says: You have two hours to create a charicature/cartoon of yourself, hence the title "mini me"

So as a judge... that's what I'm personally going to be looking for. I've noticed that there are a few entries that seem to be less charicature/cartoony and more semi realistic. Although they may be modelled very well, I don't see them getting too far in the judgings. So be warned... we are looking for silly, funny, exaggerated and such types of entries. (Or at least that's what I'm looking for.)

But no one should really worry too much because we have plenty of time to get those silly entries in. So get to work people... let's start seeing them models! :D

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

But since you were not conciderate enough to take off the hat to begin with. You are going to have to live with a model of you WITH a hat :p

Black

Take off my hat!?! But then you'd see my head! Hmm... now that I think of it... I don't think I have many pictures of me without a hat... That's quite interesting. It must mean something... but I'm not sure what. Hmm... I wonder... do I even have a head? :eek:

[Radulan]

Well, I guess I'll have to get a little sillier... But I just wanted to go to one end of the spectrum before hitting the other.

The world of exaggeration.. here I come.

[OmegaN]

Thx marty for the quick reply.

sculptorwanted oh sorry if I made it sound like an "attack" on your entry. Now when you mention it, by just using another shading technique same model can look more cartoony. I just had to state for everyone so ppl model the right thing. So its not ending up like the fish week when one started model a cartoon fish then many others did the same, just to find out the same day the challenge ends that all cartoon style is a DQ because it was supposed to be a realistic fish as stated in rules.

[Design]

Marty it is good you posted that now because im working on a realistic version of my self. since minime is the clone of Dr.Evil in austin powers,where it went wrong and he came out so little, so i thought it is allowed to clone our selves. and by clone not cartoon.or charicature. a real clone.
SculptorWanted buddy i would love it if you could do me again on z brush, and yeah go wild make it really silly. i dont mind.

[sculptorwanted]

No sweat man .
I only joined this forum for criticism. I really miss working with other artists.
And I did just run out of time. I would have needed more time to make it cartoon
like the way I intended. This time I got a little carried away. I started to deform
him just a bit (Bottom right pic)just run out of time. Ill post again.

Front and profile here (http://img365.imageshack.us/img365/6967/fbnew9jn.jpg) and my Joker induced smile here. (http://img365.imageshack.us/img365/7268/smile3wh.jpg)

.......I see...

[OmegaN]

Hello! Here comes mini-mimi01 ! =) I hope you dont feel offended that I modeled a caricature of you, if you do ill remove the post right away =)

The hair styling and the eyelashes is not part of the 2h. sorry about the hands but time was up so I had to stop my too too train. =) hope you like it

[Danabso]

Well, this didn't really turn out looking like me, but I knew I couldn't model the face and still do the body in 2 hours, so I attempted the head from a very primitive standpoint and just kinda had fun. Didn't turn out to be anything great, but it was definately fun, even though it turned out kinda creepy. I do wear a beanie often, so there you go.

[olympus]

Hey Okron, any chance of getting a side picture of you?

[Orkron]

sorry bro, that pic is 3+ yrs old now and I don't look like that anymore :) plus I just don't like my picture. Thanks for wanting to model me tho :D

[mimi01]

Aogor - Liked your 2nd one very much. Really funny.
Adamos - GREAT modelling. :eek:
Diabolos - looks very real.
That's just too funny, OmegaN!! I loved it! :o

[TheWinterLord]

OmegaN I love the cartoony style in the character as a whole good job.
Danabso thats a funny pose hehe, looks like he is having fun though (;

mimi01 who is Weinberg? haha funny lol, if Weinberg is an actual person I will laugh (:

[Radulan]

Ok now I just need to work on how to quickly make a toony body.

[TheWinterLord]

pretty good Radulan a pretty character in a cool pose like he is holding his valuable vase or sumething and he is afraid that he will fall every step on the way, good character with nice induvidual visual attributes, good text. (:

[OmegaN]

yea radulan, he really look like a rubber character (like one you can wrap around a pencil), nice work =)

mimi01: thx, Im glad you liked it :D

thewinterlord: thx for comment man!

I just made a funny thing, dont know if its worth beeing in "final completed artwork" but I posted it anyway, click HERE (http://forums.3dtotal.com/showthread.php?t=36706)

Anybody in the US - Some seiously nasty virus at least on the west coast...First my Ex's b/f got it, then their kid, then my Ex, then our daughter, then me toay. I don't think there's anyway to protect against it other than not touching a contaminated person...me, I can't not kiss my girl goodnight, so I was prepared, but OMFG!!!! I woke up at 6:22 AM this morn PST and basically, without getting too graphic, I ejected my stomach contents out both doors... That continued for hours every hour.... :( It is now 5:36 PM PST and I havent blew chunks for a few hours, but I'm still sick as a dog! I been up for 11 hrs and I haven't even tried to eat anything all day....I hope to b back in the game tomorrow.

[Segreto]

wow... hope you feel better Orkron

Radulan, nice model. It looks like one of those toys that are flexible and can be shaped around. nice job

[sculptorwanted]

I hope your feeling better soon. Thats sounds nasty bad.
Radulan I used a cylinder map with Textporter , and edited in photoshop.
I did update my post with no changes to the model, You might think its pretty funny.Here is the map.

[Orkron]

Thanks guys, I really do feel better now...its been about 14 hrs now...but god am i hungry.

[Diabolos]

Thanks Mimi and OmegaN for the comments.

[Diabolos]

Thanks guys, I really do feel better now...its been about 14 hrs now...but god am i hungry.

how about a powder doughnut :evil: , just kidding I know those 24 hour flu's - a killer. glad you're feeling better.

SculptorWanted Now thats funny, i just saw the update of the post on page #10
i look like the roiginal mini me, loool
and the map is freaky too. good job.

[Radulan]

Thanks guys, I really do feel better now...its been about 14 hrs now...but god am i hungry.
I hope it doesn't come to the east coast. Sounds horrible, Glad you made it through.
Have you ever heard the theory that illness allows your body to cleanse itself? just think, you probably cleansed the toxins you've been picking up for the past couple years.

[mimi01]

mimi01 who is Weinberg? haha funny lol, if Weinberg is an actual person I will laugh (:
Oh, yes, he exists.

The quote was taken from:

Gerald Weinberg, The Psychology of Computer Programming, 1971

Gerald Marvin Weinberg ('Jerry') - author and teacher of psychology and anthropology of computer software development.

And Orkron, I'm glad you're feeling better. We have this kind of viruses here in Brazil too. :hmm: You have to drink lots of liquids to keep your body hydrated. ;P

[Orkron]

I hope it doesn't come to the east coast. Sounds horrible, Glad you made it through.

Well, there wasnt anything left after I was done...I swear I was regurgitating straight oughta my intestines! I do feel way better today...I'm on hour # 24 right now - It's been litterally 24 hrs since I last threw up (yuck, sorry) - So I would say ya, I'm cleansed, and my stomach hurts from all the "excersise" it got...The worst thing was sitting in my house for 16 hrs, not able to do anything, just sitting there watching tv, my legs hurt so bad from inactivity yesterday.

[VegaMan]

Well heres my mini me, i think i added all needed info in the picture, if i forgot something, please tell me and ill edit it ;)

[Black]

If you really want to, I can send you some other picsThat would be lovely Mimi... I would really like to add you as well into my modeled's list.
I shall PM you private contacts shortly incase you would preffer sending them such (Bad news is that it will be by the weekend that I can work on these agaihn I think)


I just must ask you mods here.. the rules states "You have two hours to create a charicature/cartoon of yourself" .. And I just wonder if the "normal heads/bodys" is allowed, because there is a few entrys now wich dosnt have eather charicature (wich means ridicule, parody, exaggerated or distorted picture of the subject) or cartoon style. Just wondering so ppl dont mess upp like with the fish challenge and the info gets out in the end of the challengeI don't think it could have been expressed more clearly. We want you guys to present a cartoonish model this time.
Even though there is going to be a very subjective view on what is really cartoonish enough... those that don't present charicaturistic proportions in their entry will be concidered in not obeying rule one concerning the loyalty to the concept. And thus, shall be disqualified.
Please be careful.


these are just to show Black that I actually do have a head under my many hats!Lol... It is not important to have a head under your hats.. it is important to have a head on your shoulders! :p

It's too late for my part any way. You are already finished Marty. Might be of use to others later on.
I sort of insisted on completeing you with a full body for a composition I had in mind and this obligated me to go for a few trials and errors. I must confess that you took most of my Sunday... Leaving little time for me to be able to have other goes on Antievo and Rodulan (So sorry guys) as well as have decent preperation for modeling out Mimi.
Since it was a one day run; I had to go only for those that had a front and a side picture posted. Didn't have the time to sketch out a temp ref for the side views :(



Well another wek has passed.. better start putting the theoretical wokrs to practice fast!
Good Luck!!

[Black]

Heh... I regret uploading these pics already! :ugh:I have JUST opened and saved the pictures for future use :evil:


The images are SO tempting I might concider modeling a new Marty...
aaa nice hair cut btw :)

[Nehumanuscrede]

Well-

This is attempt numero uno. Though it is automatically DQ'd since I exceeded
the time limits. Was modeling along got it to where I thought it was decent
and glanced at the clock. First thought was ' NO WAY ' went around checking other clocks in the house. My how time flies. . . . . .

Thought I'd throw it up here though just to let you all know I'm still alive :)

Been watching another training DVD on XSI. This time from Gnomon Workshop. I will say this. Aaron Sims is THE man when it comes to XSI. Watching him is simply a two hour lesson in humility. Though he DID open my eyes to the Prop tool in XSI. Gonna have to really start playing with that one. . . .

Anyhoo. Here is the first run. Will likely come up with another before the competition is out. Providing I can keep it under the time limits. I apologize for the dark render, will definitely get that issue under control on next attempt.

[GraphicDragon]

Great job VegaMan! Your mesh is very efficient and clean. I think your caricature is one of the best so far. This guy would look cool in an animation.

[Diabolos]

VegaMan - I agree with GraphicDragon - excellent job.

[Design]

I got to admit i didnt even imagen it would be this hard to make a cartoon, out of my self .im usually good with organic modelling.
I put alot of work into the head and realized im out of time at the end, the body took 10 minutes, but the head is great i got my features right.
and yes i do have a blond mustach and beard, go figure

This is me with a devilish smile, or in a victory pose.lol

[OmegaN]

vegaman nice model. a little reference picture would be nice =)
Nehumanuscrede hehe i dont think you have horns! :D
design nice head. but it looks a little jaggy. maybe its the texture that makes it look like that =)

Bacon: hehe forgot to look rules? you forgot wireframe, state software you used, how long it took to model.. look at the other entries if you are uncertain what I mean =)

[adamos]

Another model frome me. This time its Marty Moderator Mc Fly.
O and sorry Marty but i have no hair plug form Max, so you must be bald.
This time i was wery easy i have simple add some pinch and punch on orginal picture of you Marty and here you have results. Hope you are not angry ;P
Now some details:
Modeling time: 90 or maybe 100 min (break for cofe and cigaret)
Software: Max 6.0

OmegaN thanks man and your right the texture killed it but i will try to fix it and repost.
Aamoshehe it looks like him. too bad about the hair it would have looked funny

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

AKK! I'm bald!!! Now I look like Adamos, Design, and Orkron! Noooooooo! :cry:

Hehehe... naahhh... I'm not angry... I'm Mad! Mad I tell you Mad! I'm The Mad Moderator... aka Mad Scientist. I'm... I'm... heh... I'm hungry. Yeah, I think I'm going to go get some food now. Mmmm... food.

Ok i just posted an extra image on my post, it is a render of the face before i textured it. nothing is changed on my post

[hammering3D]

Hello ppl.

Sorry I miss first part of the week, I have some healt problem's, but now for the moment I'm ok.
I try to model myself but fail so bad, not look like me at all, but I will try again and again and hope I come in with an funny MiniMe.
And then start model other one :evil:

PS: U all have so much fun, and made some nice and funny models, I was looking at the forum for time to time, GOOD JOOB to all, Congratulation !!!
PS2: If somebody want to model me, or to see if my future model will look like me,
Here is my image, I'm fat&ugly I know so don't laugh ;P (Tnx to Design for Edit Scale Rotate and Make a nice BluePrint from the Image's I sent to him.)

[Makonde]

hi all, here's my entry for this challenge, hope u like it. Great entries this week, especially nice job to adamos, really like your entries this week, keep it up. :)

Modelling: 2 hours
3dsmax7
Mats and Lights: 30 min

[TheWinterLord]

Cool Makonde it is loking great!

[RockstarKate]

This is such a fun challenge. Lots and lots of great work here.
Makonde: Very cool! I just wish your render was lighter so we could see it better :)
VegaMan: I love it! One of my favorites so far. Simple but nice. I can't believe you had time to model the hands!
Design: Good job! It really looks like you. That's a very hard thing to accomplish, let alone in 2 hours. Congratulations!
Adamos: Your model of Marty is hysterical. I love the lips!
Radulan: Bendy Radulan is awesome! Another one of my favorites.
OmegaN: I love your miniMimi! She's a great example of a true "charicature"

And many other cool models. I really want to do another, but i don't know if I will find the time.

[RussDude87]

Hi all!
Havent been able to participate much these last few weeks, school seems to suck out every hour of free time from my day.

@Radulan: Great idea! I use to tinker around with those all the time. Really well done model, nice textures too.
@VegaMan: Good model, nice and clean
@adomos: Ha! Great render of McFly!
@Makonde: Looks like a really good model, but with that lighting its kinda hard to tell. Proportions are great.

Here's mine for this week, ran out of time after just the head (I'm worse at organics then I am at mechanical stuff, and that's saying something.) And yes, I do always ware headphones at my computer. For some reason or another, others dont enjoy my music as much as I do...

Keep 'em comming!

Software:Lightwave3D 8.5 (32 bit)
Modeling: 120 min
Textures: 10 min
Render: <1 minute

here's one of a friend who's in a band, hope it's ok

still not good at doing any kind of modelling but hey, i had fun !


Edit: I'm sorry Krave, but your image was removed because it's in a direct violation of the rules stated in the first post in this challenge. You're more than welcome to make another entry, just please review the rules before entering.

EDIT oh sorry, didn't read about the member of threedy forums, my bad. am i still able to show the work without the entry being included?

Heya guys, sorry havnt been around :D Great topic, I'll start one something today.. btw, great entries everyone!!!!

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

Krave: Hehe... I guess you didn't notice that when I edited your post I mentioned that... You're more than welcome to make another entry, just please review the rules before entering.

DahWan: Hey bud, just take a few mintues of your time to look through the posts in this thread. You'll find that I posted links to about 5 or so pictures of myself for people to model from.

Everyone: I notice it's a bit quiet lately... I hope this means that everyone is hard at work making fun charicatures of themselves. ;) I'm almost done with another model... although this one really took on a life of it's own! :evil:

[Design]

RockStarKate Thank you for those words. your model was an inspiration. i mean i did it and tried to get the same effect of your model.

Marty your right, it is quiet, but i got to say this challenge although it looks easy it is one of the most difficult that i have been in.charicature is a very tough type of art. but still i learned alot of my model. and i guess the people are going through the same hard time ive been in.except for adamos
& Radulan.

[Nehumanuscrede]

Everyone: I notice it's a bit quiet lately... I hope this means that everyone is hard at work making fun charicatures of themselves. ;) I'm almost done with another model... although this one really took on a life of it's own! :evil:

Quiet yes :)

Seems I am unable to produce anything that passes even my simple requirements within the two hour limit :) That and the fact I've been working on another model doesn't leave a lot of time for this challange :)

In the event I can scrounge some time up, I'll try another.

[frost000]

Everyone: I notice it's a bit quiet lately... I hope this means that everyone is hard at work making fun charicatures of themselves.

You would hope. but personally, I'm no good at organic modeling at all... I cant even make a charicature that looks like me, although, it would help if I had some sort of hair plugin cause I have long hair.

so anyway, Great entries from everyone this week... wish I could model even just my head. :wall:

p.s. Marty, i think you may have misunderstood Krave, I believe he wanted to know weather or not he can still post that same image, but just not as an entry...

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

Ahh yes, I see what you mean about Krave's question... and it looks like you're right. For that I'll just say that it's more perferred if a link to pic is posted to the pic instead of posting the pic itself if it's not actually a part of the challenge.

As for you Frost... I'm one of the last people here that would consider himself an organic modeller. Although I am trying to learn... organics still scare me, but that's no excuse. Give it a try, find a few tutorials and use them as guides. You'd be suprised how much they can help, especially if you do them a couple of times. :)

[Radulan]

RockStarKate ....and i guess the people are going through the same hard time ive been in.except for adamos
& Radulan.

Thanks for the compliment. I wish I could help, but I don't have it down to a science yet. if I can think of a good way to explain organics and head modeling... then I'll post it in the forum. As of now I still just feel my way through it. Practice is all I have right now.

Diabolos; Another great model by Diabolos.
theKamps; Man bra needed here!
OmegaN; Looks like a Jimmy Nutron character.
Danabso; You should spend the hole two hours if possible.
Rudalan; I'm Gumby Da%#-it!!
VagaMan; Definetly one of the Best.

Makonde;Is this you? too dark to see you.
RussDode87; You are not bad at Organics this is good work.
MrLemon; This resembles you a lot. Exellent texture too.
Hint to all; Use eyelids. & eyes are in the middle of the head.

[frost000]

YAY! :dance: I finially finished an entry I think is crap! but is ok enough to actually pass as a head that slightly resembles myself... :xx: the refrence photos I was using were messed up, (I'm not too good with setting up image planes...), so it doesnt look a whole lot like me... except for the hair (kinda...). either way, here it is..

[mr_lemon]

oh...btw...thank you marty for all the honourable and runner up from the other contest! i'm so ambushed...and absolutely want to improve a lot more

[Black]

Things have been very unfotunate in my un-virtual life and thus I have not been as able to follow up on things. I am sorry about that folks...
But there seem to be a lot of entries that miss out on the rules.
PLEASE keep your hard work from going to waste and read the rules and check on your models people.
(Or at LEAST change your post as to be a 'non-entry')

Tomorrow I finally get a break. I hope to finally pose and render the models I did earlier and do a few more... Hopefully I could join in to the fun a bit.

Well any how.. back to work here... Good Luck!

Hello all! Sorry I haven't posted in weeks, I'm in my demo reel making stage at school and it's sorta a 24/7 thing. But, I made this a while back and thought I would show ya, as well as post some pics in case you want to make fun of me ;P .
So here's my caricature:
NOT AN ENTRY!

This is really weird. for a whole day and not even one post. well this is really quiet.

Hehe.... people must've gotten my late shipments of vacuums this week. As for me, well today was strange day for me. But I'm posting a model that I wanted to post up yesterday but for some reason haven't had the chance to post until now. And as a bonus, there is a small animation file posted of my non-entry aswell. The non-entry is below... and the video file is here! (http://www.filefactory.com/get/f.php?f=5887ed7b0166703535432f69) (By the way, the video is 1.54MB and was encoded with DivX) :D

2 hours modelling, (Much more time spent on the accidental morph!)

[krave]

well here's my NON ENTRY

it's of a friend who's in a band

[fastrak]

Non-entry for sure!
Not only is it not with in time....30 minutes too much...but I definitely could not make a charicature/cartoon. :wall:
So to everyone that has....congrats.. :dance: .this is tough IMO. Actually organic modeling is very hard for me....so I had to study alot of tutorials just to get this....oh well ....sorry about that everyone. (sigh) :dunno:
(Marty: if this needs to be removed...I understand completely....really I do)

Nahh... I'll let your post stand as a public service announcement. Smoking is Bad for your health! If you wish not to end up as a balding non-charicature model made by Fastrak... then Don't Smoke! :D

[LESTAT]

Hi Team ,
New mods and loads 'o new members i seeee :shy: great goin ,
this forum was always " KICK ASS " :evil: . I do take a sneak peak from time to time , but dont find any time to shed to take part :grr: Those were the days :dunno: Im doin great now at work ,enjoying the torture and pain , handling 5 / 6 projects a day , the latest being sets for " DISNEY " ... thats right ... im gonna be famous soon :roll:

Holler to BLACK , ANDY , ANDOY , FASTRACK , MARTY MCFLY, DIABOLOS , INSPIRED , OTACON and EVERYONE ELSE at the forum. GREAT JOB .

Btw here are my mug shots for reference for this weeks challenge ,
GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL and nice work you MODS !!

[andoy]

LESTAT: Hi glad to hear you are doing well, and you haven't just fallen off the planet or anything.

[actionbob]

Here is my entry of myself, but mini and 3d. Done in an hour and 36 minutes. The wire for the mesh is a little dense... because i was using the brush tool in max and i accedently converted it all to a editable poly half way threw... you all understand. textured in like 5 minutes and same with render. oh, yeah. im using Max 8.

[DahWan]

are mini-me's suposed to be abstrakt?? like... wierd. too big nose and chin --
you know what i mean.

[Design]

Fastrak Very nice man. it is a good model, and i give you my vote, im a smoker my self.
Marty nice man but whos the guy in your model.
ActionBob i can see alot of work went into it. but you could have spent the extra time to fix the hair. and other feature.

[Marty_McFly-3DT]

Yeah, sorry about that Design. I thought about the fact that I didn't post the name with it while I was at work today. It's suppossed to be Adamos... based on his first model since I don't remember seeing any reference pics from him. I figured that most people might figure it out if the downloaded the video because of it's file name. :crazy:

[fastrak]

are mini-me's suposed to be abstrakt?? like... wierd. too big nose and chin --
you know what i mean.

Well kinda.....cartoonish would be more fitting. A caricature definition is:
A representation, especially pictorial or literary, in which the subject's distinctive features or peculiarities are deliberately exaggerated to produce a comic or grotesque effect.

Hope that helps.
Fastrak


Marty: Gee thanks.....I think :)

Design: I appreciate the comment.

Lestat: Missing your work, man. Glad things are going well and keeping you outa Marty's way ( :) ) . Seriously, good luck on all your projects. Hurry back with an entry or two from time to time.

[twiddlefinger]

Hiho, this is my version of Mini-Mim (thanks for the reference pics mim!). Hope you enjoy it!

edit: the reference pics are on page 6 of this thread :)

[Scroll]

actionbob, By the sounds of it you are using 3ds Max but you forgot to state that you are using it. You should quickly edit your post.

[Black]

Btw here are my mug shots for reference for this weeks challenge...Thats great! Good to have yours also in the list now Lestat. And thanks for the efforts to help out.

This evening I came home with some very bad news so I doub't I will have chance to have some fun, and I still haven't rigged the other guys :(
But I will definately try and model an old frined :) I hope you won't have high expectations. And just looking at the images. I guess it won't be a suprise to find that you were modeled with glasses... :p
Good luck with Disney! My last contact with them was back through USAnimation. There is something about that place... It is just always some how fun on which ever branch.
Now that you are in the heart of cartoon... how about a few lessons in speed modeling out a cartoon mini guy?


Well...
I have to shut off for some serious data transferings
Til (hopefuly) later;

Hello PPL,

Finally 3rd time I mange to come up with something.
Not so manny models this week, but the model's that are in, are verry nice and funny. Good Job !

So I try to make an funny and wierd MiniMe, hope it's acceptable with the rules, pls tel me if it is not.

INSTRUCTIONS: Make a clone of U, take off half off the head, put a straw in it, take the metalic "plate" that look like a body and stick the head in it, put some alcoohol over the brain, let the head there for 2 week's for the alcoohol and the brain mix good, and the worm's come out. Keep it at Ice for 120 min till U model other entry. Drink it cold, in time U browse trough the "Halloween Competition".

PS: All objects in the scene where modeled in 120min except the Hair.

To see how I look go here:

fastrak
urs is super rendered and lighted.u've hidden the ears.cuz ear is not detail modelled,the shadow of smoke is projected on face,and i cannot see the eyes clearly.
the shape of face is perfect done.materials r great too.i liked the eyebrow much,it is realistic.
this is a high poly model that needs much work time this tells that why u have passed the time limit,also moderators cannot enter challenge but it is very good u've done one for here.

ncollings - Welcome to the speed modeling, U come with a GREATE START !!!, verry nice modeling and verry clean, and funny cartoon.

BUT U have some problems:
1) State in the same post, the software U use, other wise U will get desqualified. (But in the same post)
2) I think is a good ideea to post the wire from the body to if U want they cont it in judging. And if U need space to post the body wire, U can ReUpload the image in 800X600 rez, is better for the judging to clear see U'r model because have verry nice expresion. But don't change anything to the model, just to the wire, and state in te "reason for editing" that U not change the model just the wire and eventualy Rezolution.
3) It's a verry nice model and I think U will recive extra credit if U post a real image of U to let the judge to see u manage to make a cartoon that look like U. (This is U'r choise maybe is better to not add a image and hope that judges beleve it's U)

Ok, it's time for me to step in... first off is a nice Welcome to the forums Ncollings! :D It's nice to see new members coming along to join us. Especially in a two week challenge where most of our *ahem* regular members seem to be to scared to participate in! :P

Now as for your entry, the problem is that your entry is incomplete. Since you're stating the time it took to create your body... we need to see it's wireframe in your actual entry. Since we allow 800*600 size images and you're only using 640*480... use the extra space to include the missing wireframe for your entry to be complete. That should have you all settled then. :)

ncollings - Ohh, now I really don't know if that is corect or not to have other links in u'r posts, But definatly they neet the body wire in the same image and not an external link :(.

I am verry tired, and don't think clear right now, ask Marty or Black, before tomorow (Wensday) at 22:00 GMT and U can fix u'r post if it need befor the dead line.


EDIT: Well Marty the Pigeon that I send it with the mesage, have drinking problems :dunno: and stop for a quik drink in his way :roll: ...

ncollings - now u'r ok :D, congratulation verry nice model, hope we see alot from U...

[Marty_McFly-3DT]
