Hi everyone.


I would like to thank Pi Song for taking time out from his busy schedule to make procedurals for this character and tips on Lighting. Thanx man, you rock.

Here is my progress with a little more of the Pyro theme. Gona add a bandage and some Band Aids next, then rigging Posing and a Scene.

i really like it but what bugs me is the height of the head. It makes it look out of proportion. If it was a smaller head she might look a little more angeli. Go pyros! Also, it looks like she totally scorched her hands lol. Maybe some bigger spots of black just to show like the soot of stuff flying around in the air, some on her jacket and face as well. Anyways waitin for updates

Hi sarN,

Sorry to disapoint you, but I don't make proportional characters.

She is suposed to be out of proportion in the same way that Mickey Mouse is out of proportion.

I'll make the soot on the jacket larger and more detail.

Thanx for Ur crit.

HI Everyone,

I downloaded an eye Shader from DarkTree called Killer Iris, which I think is perfect for this character when she goes into a Pyro frenzy.

Looks good, but 2 suggestions.

1: I think the hood and the jacket should be one piece

2: Her fingers looks a little like those frozen french fries you cook in the oven IMO

Nice eye shader btw, nice to see another LightWaver on the board

Hi rubberduck,

Thanx man. I have fixed the fingers. LW rocks

I am now putting together scenes in way of a story board for a short animation.

I have given the character a basic rig for poseing. I shall upgrade her rig for animation.

My intention is to practise animation in LW and Motionbuilder.

If anyone has any tips on creating animated fire/smoke with Hypervoxels, please let me know.

Building modelled by CAClark? Man, I haven't seen Craig in aaaages....

Nice girlyou have there. The fingers seem a bit wrinkled too mebecause the segmentation of the fingers is exaggerted.

[daveythegravy]

Hi Chris-3DT.

Yep, Craig made that building alright. His model is so cool.

I have fixed the hands, just U can't realy see in that scene, although they are still somethwhat exagertated, which is the kinda style I am aiming for, with exagerated proportions, like you see in cartoons.

Thanx for your crit and encouragement.
