Nato Van Dookie - great piece of modeling, awesome!

[Nocturn8]

Chubu: thanks a lot, specially for the previous post... It really means a lot. made it much easier to continue. Looks like you have a very big change of taking this one! Pretty awesome concept, model, and views you've got there!

Mistik: WOW...absolutely incredible... pixar quality man.

Here's an update, and I think there will only be a few more adjustments for the final image but I think this is it. I need another help from you guys. having trouble with the proper color temperature for the scene. Which do you think is better? thanks!!

[Mistik]

thanks Nocturn8, your scene is starting to take shape with the textures and all the characters in it, keep it up.

[chubu]

mistik - great piece of work, the head is great!

nocturn - i think the 1st one is better, but i have a problem with the photo in the BG - its not as your model... its too "realistic" for my opinion. i think you should use your 3d tree and use him for the bg...
great work!

[Nocturn8]

chubu:the background is 3d too, but you're right it doesn't quite fit in the scene. I'll work out on that... thank you very much. that's a very big help

[DaddyDoom]

Nocturn8, that scene is really turning out funny About the background, maybe you could just duplicate and relocate that tree a few times, and then add an environment object with fog. The focus must on the characters, and all those trees are stealing the show a bit.
Mistik, that's one funny character dude. Love the design of it and the "slap me silly" expression on his face

As for my scene, I think I'm done with it, and apart a few Photoshop add-ons, I'll call it a wrap. What do you guys think?

Ugga!

[Nocturn8]

DaddyDoom: gee, that's right...fog...it fits the headless horseman thing. thanks a lot man, about the trees, you and Chubu are right, i'll start bringing those trees down and plant new ones. About your work, man, it's totally cool, but daddydoom always have new ideas here and there so I believe you might come up with a little more before the final submission... Oh oh oh and about that tank of yours, teehee, i really love it, wanna have one of those to play with, and put some real ammo on it and have some rc races with the neighbors. Now, that's gonna be fun.

[DaddyDoom]

Nocturn8, tnx for the kind words and motivation dude. I must be slowly entering a dried out season because I really can't remember of anything good to add to the scene. I gave a little twitch to the eyes and closed them a bit, and also added eyebrows, which were missing. But I really don't know what else to pull out of the hat... Any fancy suggestion?

Tnx

[chubu]

ok, an UPDATE:
finally i had some time 2day to work on my character
and i still not sure about the pose, so i tried somthing completly diffrent
tell me plz what you think: is this one better then the previous i posted?
the textures is not final, ill probably add grass, sun , maybe a bucket, im not sure... lets see what 2marrow will bring

[arthurduque]

Hi guys! Modeling and playing in zbrush did this character, And I decided to create a second model of " The Executioner" ... this is the result, I think it will not take time to end it, but ....
To the next

[Nato_VanDookie]

Nocturn8: that one was 1,060,040 tris... too much for Maya. The problem was that I'm using Maya to make the base, Mudbox to sculpt, and then zbrush to pose. But I had to connect all the pieces to pose him, and that's where maya failed me. My new one is weighs197,852 tris. But it won't be unveiled until the competition's end, don't want to ruin the surprise.

[Nocturn8]

DaddyDoom: Your scene seems perfect for me, though I think you should add more detail on the executioners eyeballs.. other than that,everythings perfect.
chubu: It could work, but the first pose is funnier and the camera angles there are better, maybe it could just be me..maybe you should wait for another opinion.
arthurduque: that's looking good.
Nato_VanDookie:Wow, 1million poly... I tried to add detail to my scene using Zbrush, but as I worked on detailing the gloves, I noticed that The polycount necessary to create the whole scene would greatly increase, which isn't necessary, so I reverted back to the simple scene and maybe play with the textures. Can't wait for your final image.
