Undead03 - For "Shards of Asghad" Project -

[dlavre]

Hello guys & girls!

I'm currently modeling this character for a short animation movie...

Concept

[dlavre]

and this is the 3d model of the face...i have done almost all the head, but i'll post it next time...

[bradjames]

Great to see you back posting work. This will be a very interesting project and your off to an amazing start.

[Turboracer]

Ah, I see you're working on that film project with avatar :lurve: . Looks quite good so far, very nice definition over everything. I think that his cheek bones are a bit shallow, also that the temples go in a bit too high on his head(imo). Also, maybe try to make the skin a bit thinner and tighter around the eyeballs, and make sure that the socket is pretty well defined. Great work so far though, I'm looking forward to seeing the final project and him crawling across the deck.

[jdgill]

wow...really awesome sketch. And also really awesome model. I'd like to see more! :)

[TheCheshireCat]

Great stuff

[Jenova]

Very cool, any warcraft motivation?

[razwan]

[Horror Divine]

Nothig to say except NICE and update,PLZ,PLZ,PLZ,PLZ,PLZ,PLZ

[Woody]

Knowing how you model it will look exactly as in the reference and absolutelly terrifying. Not my prefered subject, but awesome, as always!

[Freespace-3DT]

Well, what can I say, with such modelling, I believe the movie project will be supreme. Keep it up, man. The team's counting on you and so far you've only amased us with your skills.

[niki]

i love the concept ..
it looks a great start ..keep going

[Holo]

I agree, the concept is awesome.
also, i didnt realize you were such an accomplished illustrator, the sketch is top notch !
Is this a personel project ?
and are you going to be doing the animating yourself ?

[dlavre]

hi!

I have finished the head and i'll try to change it a bit more, cause it looks symetrical now.

Concept: the concept was made by Avatar 3d , im doint only the 3d part...if u want to learn more about the project please go to this topic Project (http://forums.3dtotal.com/showthread.php?t=36934)

[dlavre]

and another smothed version of the head.

[Ruben Drakkar]

Great Work It Looks Like Eddie From Iron Maiden, It Looks Great

[Track_Maniac]

Absolutely amazing modeling, this is going to be one kick ass movie when it's done. I really like the concept art too, very clean and well done. Keep up the good work.

[Mr.T]

I see another great character!! happy to see new stuff from you :D
as for the project I'm sure it will be great!

superb sketch from Avatar-3D :lurve:

[Toadie]

oh yes its very great!

[Master_Blaster]

Well actually we don't go so public with the models, and dlarve it's an exception since we didn't draw his atention earlier (our fault)! We will let dlarve updating this model since it's already too late to go back!

Oh, and a VEEERY AWESOME model you are doing dlarve! Great to have you with us!

Keep it up!

[Mr.T]

it's too late now we know the secret :D :haha:
anyway, good luck with your project ;)

[fuseboy]

i too thought the sketch looks very iron maiden-esque. gr8 model so far. keep it up.

[Rych]

Hey, this is spectacular love you work, do you mind me asking for a higer res wireframe, I would love to see your workflow!

Baron

[grafi]

Its looking great, any plans on zbrushing it?

[jdgill]

wow...awesome detail! :)

[Holo]

excellent as usual dlavre.

I hope you dont mind, but i edited the name of your thread....ill change it back if its a prob.

[Ilkejav mk5]

too awesome to be true!

[BoomTown]

Thats gona look fantastic when its finished, I love the mouth, keep up the great work and keep the posts coming

[freak_o_coco]

WOW - that concept design and modelling is fan-friggin-tastic.....!
can't wait to see an update ;)

[dlavre]

Thank you to all of u...

I'll not use zbrush for this character, because there is no reason, just only bump should be fine. I agree that if i had used zbrush form the beginning i should have it ready now and better, but im a beginner at zbrush so im still learning, maybe on the next character...

Here's what ive done so far, its not to much...

[dlavre]

here's a nother one...i still dont know what to do with the neck...

[dlavre]

and here's a close shot of the head...wires

[Freespace-3DT]

Simply amazing work, dlavre! Nice polyflow... great economy of polys... What can I say, I've got a lot to learn just from seeing your wires!

[Turboracer]

Hmm, maybe make the neck sort of ripped out or rotting? Right now it looks a bit too fresh to be for someone dead. Great job so far though, I'm really enjoying this.

[jdgill]

ZBrush may be a bit faster sometimes, but I definantely think your doing great how your doing it now. I agree a bump should do fine.

Really fantastic job. I love it.

[qwed88]

Wow

[Mr.Sharky]

Concept is amazing and so is your modelling.

[uglycat]

good gods-- who needs mesh smooth? o.o

really awesome work, and the attention to detail really pays off in making it very expressive.

the mesh work where the mouth is sewn shut-- brilliant. ^_^

[Intron]

good gods-- who needs mesh smooth? o.o

My educated guess would be that the wire is an Isoline,a means of not crashing your pc while working with subdivision:) HOWEVER, this is fantastic work regardless;D

[dlavre]

Thanks for ur supports guys...


Ive changed the poly flow of the chest and i changed also the neck a bit.

[dlavre]

u can use Turbosmooth in max, and u wont have any problem moving the camera.

[goat]

Man that is some great modeling dlarve. This project should be great!! Can't wait to see more from you guys.

[jdgill]

u can use Turbosmooth in max, and u wont have any problem moving the camera.

Thanks for the tip dlavre ;)

[Makaveli]

Looks gr8! Can't wait to see more updates and see this guy crawling around

[jdgill]

I jsut tried what you said about turbo smooth. My comp is handling a model I made alot better!...thanks man :)

[dlavre]

I jsut tried what you said about turbo smooth. My comp is handling a model I made alot better!...thanks man :)

yes u can rotate the camera using turbosmooth and doesnt matter how many polys are there. just its not the same when u try to move vertexs while having turbosmooth on.

[Rych]

Hey, thanks for the close up!

The one thing I find with turbo smooth verses like meshsmooth is, when you hide some of the poly and turn on turbosmooth then turn it off and unhide the polys turbosmooth glitches out and doesn't refresh the unhidden polys. otherwise I love it. The only thing I don't like is how you can't move verties while it is smoothed.

Baron

[dlavre]

here's the body almost finished...now i have to finish the back and add arrows on his back.

[dlavre]

some other views fo the undead.....

[dlavre]

and a close wire shot

[Toadie]

Awesome!!!!!!

[jdgill]

looks awesome so far. Can we see the hands closer please?

[Mr.T]

incredible work Dlavre!!!

superb! :lurve:

[Bruno_Maremonti]

wonderful work u have there! amazing modeling skills! :wave:

[stas3d]

hey dlavre!! your work is great! and i have nothin to complain.
how you goin to do the rigg? bone or character studio....

[goat]

Suburb work. Not sure if its just me but the hands look a bit small.Not sure could just be me. Anyone else see that? Really great work though.

[Teyon]

No, you're right, the hands are small. The model is rockin' it though! Fix them hands and you're good to go.

[Stubby-]

Thats insane attention to detail... incrediable modeling :D

[Glottis]

The fact that you´re modelling such a detailed model in max rather than in Zbrush, is admirable! I don´t think I´ve ever seen such crazy details in a .max model (I could be wrong though)

so: wow!

but one thing that bothers me is the topology of the hands, the forearm is a bit like a plain cylinder, and the bycept doesn´t connect to the forearm naturally.

[dlavre]

thanks all of u guys..

Here i changed a bit the hand and i closed his back.

[dlavre]

here's a shot from the front...

[dlavre]

and a close view from the details...

[dlavre]

Now i have finished the 3d part...as for rigging,i dont know yet who's gonna do that..im just modeling lol

a render of the mesh...

[dlavre]

and some renders from the character...im using skylight for rendering and 2 lights.

[Freespace-3DT]

Simply speechless. Rigging this would take some skill, but at least he's got no legs ( that's the hardest part for me, the pelvic area, when rigging ) ... dlavre, you're a one of a kind modeller. Congrats!

[frostsnake]

Wow!
are you gonna texture him?

[Master_Blaster]

The name of the thread is spelled wrong! Is Shards of Asgard!!

[Bas]

Wow Amazing! When does it grow it's hair like in the concept!!

[Rych]

Can I ask how you get those renders? The fogginess, are those post preduction effects in Photoshop? or do you do that with 3d max?

Baron

[Ilkejav mk5]

that's specular bloom in 3dsmax, if i'm not mistaken. Simply go to the MaxScript tab on top, select run script, go in the maxplugin folder, and run the specular bloom script. then it's just a matter of adding the effect in the effect window... you ahve to ru the script everytime you start up max, or else the effect gets erased...

BTW dlavre... amazing work... can't wait to see that freak move.

[Raytheon.amraam]

O man u really rocks!

the model is awesome. only to post something and not a simple "looks ver very good" i think the bone in the chest r too thin...

[jdgill]

o wow...the models looks amazing!

[dlavre]

hey!
thanks everyone... i think im done with this character now...

I'll try to unwrap it now and maybe try to use the new max 8 hair.lol

the glow effects was make with photoshop, its very simple. just use the glow effect. lol

here's another shot from the character, its abit different...

[ibrahim_gabr]

Nice work I am dieing to see this textured and in motion

[jdgill]

dieing

Same feeling right here........


:D

[WildDUcK]

i like the glow effect :p:p:p
grzat job :)

[Ilkejav mk5]

yup! I agree, that is a grzat job!

[MonteCristo]

Quality work as always. Have a rep boost. and 5*

[Bas]

Now here's something i'd like to see evolve in a tutorial! :roll:

[RickStefani]

THIS IS INSANE. Nice lighting too.

[BoomTown]

Fantastic. Keep going its going to look smashing with texutres, not that it looks bad now :).

I agree with bas, lets see a tut when your done :).

[Tank[NL]]

dude, i am loving this model and i am loving this whole project. i am really amazed at how fast you made it aswell.

great stuff.

[frostsnake]

This model is so good! the concept is totaly cool! and the project is sweat!

[Master_Blaster]

just sweat? :(


:shy:

[Holo]

u mean sweet ;p

[Master_Blaster]

:smug: got cut up with the message and forgot the spelling :shy:

So IT IS just sweet :( :( ..better work harder than!

[Hadron]

Lovely so far, but please tell me how to gain the glow effect.

[dlavre]

Lovely so far, but please tell me how to gain the glow effect.
hey..here's a quick one lol


thanks everyone and merry food n drinks these days lol

[Mr.Sharky]

Thanks for sharing the methoid man. And may i say the character is looking sweet. I love the wrinkles, and i'm amazed on how you're doing it all without ZBrushed. Mad respect.

[Outpost]

Sweet, it looks awesome.. can't wait to see it textured and moving.

[Aleks]

Damn,dlavre, you just can't stop amazing us,can't you? ;P Awesome,just awesome! I wish I had such great skills :zzz: .
It maybe a bit late but here are some suggestions. You should make his shoulders and arms more muscular.I know he (or is it IT?) is a zombie but still,walking on two hands takes a lot of strenght you know. I'm not suggesting making them look "buff" but just add some extra edges so the muscles could be seen...or something like that...
Anyways,it's a great model and I can't wait for that little movie to come out!

[Alarcón]

Man! that's great! I'd be seeing nightmares after working for hours with that...

[dhruvsm]

hi...where's an update.....it's been a long long time....!!! :dance:

[Balagesz]

hey....a professional work again from you:)
Will you texture it? I hope..
I cant wait for the update!

[dlavre]

hey guys thanks...ive been super busy lately and im also working on another character for the moment...but im gonna finish the textures very soon i hope lol...

[Da Artist]

Great model so im staying posted...

[abone114]

excellent concept, loving the detail so far, you should learn zbrush i have a feeling you would excel in it.

[anen]

Hello , can you help me ;)
Great art , you know :)

[error]

:drool:
Very expressive sight. Now it is necessary to impose textural map
:dance: cool
