Movie Mashup - "What If Pixar Did Back To The Future?" - Classicgamer-3DT

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

OK well it's been far too long since I did any real modelling. And I just couldn't resist this challenge so i'm going all out for this one.

The film i've chosen is Back To The Future Part II, it is by far one of my alltime favourite films and indeed trilogy's ever! The twist is i'm making it a Pixar/3D cartoon version.

What if Pixar did Back To The Future? well this is hopefully what i'll try to create.

I'm also hoping to create the following:

Cafe 80's Exterior
Cafe 80's Interior (but only viewable from the outside)
Marty McFly Character
Mattel Hoverboard
DeLorean DMC 12 parked outside the Cafe 80's
& a few surrounding buildings and video wall with Goldey Wilson III on etc.

The plan is to have the DeLorean, Cafe 80's in the background and Marty McFly flying off the hoverboard lol.

As always I will be modelling within Cinema 4D 11.5 using Advanced Render 3 for my renders, they'll be a little (but not much) post done in Adobe Photoshop for colour corrections and compositing etc. Texturing will be a mix of shaders, CGtextures.com and 3Dtotal texture CD's.

Reference pictures are from my Trilogy DVD boxset, strangely there's not a great deal of closeups or long shots on the buildings, but there's quite a few details that are the same from the 1955 Lou's Cafe aswell which i've captured to help with detailing.



The sketch in this references sheet is not mine it's from deviantart by a much more talented artist going by the name of scoundreldaze.

Here's my awful concept sketch......as you can tell it's been some time since I sketched!



I hope to update this thread later on today with something blocked out or modelled. Not quite sure what to start yet, the set, the car or the character I hope I can deliver

Kind Regards

Oh wow cool idea! Loving the title you've created, I like how you;ve matched the Pixar logo with the same style as the BTTF one I'm looking forward to seeing the Pixar style adopted to BBTF

Cool.

[paulius-st]

good idea.
good luck

[DaddyDoom]

Cool idea Classic!
I suggest you stylize your Pixar McFly a bit more though.

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

Cheers guys, DD I thought about trying to make my Marty look like Michael J Fox so a little Pixar....a little caricature..... a little cartoon 3D style....we'll see. But i've no idea really as my success with organics/characters hasn't been great...but this is what these challnges are all about, testing your might as it were and trying new things. I've already built a Hoverboard before as a test, I will be starting from scratch all over again

[RogerP]

cool idea, really looking forward to seeing how you tackle this one.

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

cheers matey

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

Righto, here's what i've got so far, thought I'd start with what i'm most comfortable with first which is buildings, so here's my start on the Cafe 80's. Fairly happy with the start of this so far, hope to update more later today or tommorow.













About 2 1/2 hours work here so far.

Kind Regards

Looking really good so far.

One issue I could see coming up with the judges; the challenge is 'Movie Mashup' - to match up two movies. Back to the Future is one movie, but Pixar isn't a movie.

Pixar has made many movies and each has a little different style than the next. I think for this to work, you'd need to choose one Pixar movie and base your character and scene style on that particular movie.

I've made a quick sheet of Pixar humans from different movies; you can see that there are some similarities between characters, but there are many different styles.

[ClassicGamer-3DT]

Good point, the style i'm going for is Disney Pixar's Up style, the style isn't all that cartoony with exception to the characters, it's basically going to be slightly realistic modelling but shaded and textured in a 3D cartoony style similar to that of Up.

In other words I won't be having over the top stylisations, the building will look similar to that in the reference images but brighter and more colourful if you get my meaning If you take the old's guy's house in Up it looks like a real house but it's textured and coloured in a vibrant style.

[chunkymunky]

Good start, nice overall wireframes and detailing

[RogerP]

Very clean start, keep it up.

[The Prime]

Up To The Future...

Quite a poignant title really, as everything thing is decided by the future.

Back To The Up... Sounds like an Eminem album title, skip it

[hulahuga]

Neat modeling. Good to see some stuff from you
