i love that stuff, i spend so much time doing that when i was a little kid.

i believe i still have those thingies lieing around somewhere, maybe ill pick it up again /images/graemlins/crazy.gif

looking nice werkz. not too sure about the hands though. might be good if you post the wireframes , if you are wanting crits on edge flow.

[/ QUOTE ]

The pegboard cost $10 for 4 six inch squares that can snap together. Each board is 29x29 in terms of how many beads it'll fit.

The final 'thing' is gonna be 256x176, so that's about 45,000 pieces. Bags of 1000 are under $3, and some colors have bags of 6000 for $7.

They either go by the name of Hama Beads or Perler Beads, depending on where you are. You'll probably be able to find places to by them from googling, or even on Amazon.

I'll put up a newer picture later today. Finished with a section 50x50, but didn't iron it long enough, so when I turned it over to fuse the other side the center parts mostly just flew apart.

BTW- dithering sucks.

Having done some very similar stuff a couple of years ago I can't wait to see how this all turns out.

You might want to sharpen things up a bit though and not use the layer styles as much, or at least with the blending modes you're using currently - the black and white shadows/highlights don't look natural.

scuse the multiple posts, just fancied pimping a few bits and pieces.

[Kovac]

That turned out awesome Ruz! You completely nailed the consistency between the eyes and the rest of the face, which is one of the most distracting aspects I see in higher poly works. The skin tone looks like it could be played with just a tad more along the lines of getting a slightly more red/dark hue as the yellows seem overpowering. Wonder if monitors will even pick up this subtle of a tweak (or if my monitor has even been calibrated in the past few months). I guess even without the image you get the gist.

http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q156/kovac1274/RuzHeadSuperAwesomeTimesTen-2.jpg

[Ruz]

yeah I hover around the red and yellow in the hue and saturation, never quite deciding which looks best. I think some way in between the two is nice.
I know what you mean about eyes, they are generally too bright IMHO

[Robbiek1000]

here a little something I think I'm finished with....I don't know though....I wanna know what you all think.

i tried to keep as accurate as possible, but with so many variations of the Mauser I kinda took bits and pieces of all my reference images and stuck it together. Enjoy!

the insets on the side have more of a smooth rounded bevel to them on the c96, not such a harsh edge like that. Also is this diffuse only? If so you really need some good specular highlights painted in. Your metal is looking a little "cloudy" as well.

All I've ever used is biped and don't know much about bones, but I think its the only way I can get the knee to do what I want.

I have very little exp w/ rigging and bones but this is what I want to do and I don't know if I can do it the way I want to.

[Ferg]

sweet model warby, but I agree the feet feel weak. Also, the texture looks like a good base, but needs that top couple layers of detail still, some area seem too smooth/clean. You get golf claps for now, but that could become a roaring applause if you play your cards right.

If you could wear out he edges on the spider tank, would really make it look like a tank...it looks more like a 'bot as bots tend to be clean and tanks tend to be in use more often.

It's real nice though. The only other type of spider tank I saw before was the Harvester from Quake 4.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yep. In the early days of course they didn't have 3d programs. They showed how the actors worked with lights inside sloted tubes, filmed and then essentially painted over on film. We also have Star Wars to thank for Blue Screen photography which many years later became green screen and ultimately...bullet time. Now of course, bullet time is cliche, but the rest of the technology is expected in film.

Johny, the face likeness is (still) awesome, but he looks really short and wide to me - I know Keifer Sutherland isn't the tallest guy in the world, but I'm pretty sure he has a longer torso and legs than you've given him there. Or maybe just less wide, or a mix of both those issues. Nice stuff though!

Did You use some skin shader , sss ?

[Jaco]

It's a good start, he's looking a bit friendly at the moment though. I did a highpolly model of him a while ago:

[Ruz]

I was just kidding dizZy Walnut, I recognised Bruce Willis straight away. Yeah I have tried his likness before, quite tough to get right.
My skin shader is a realtime shader. just used the oren nayar blinn material in max.
Turn on direct x , then have a single spotlight, a bit overbright.
its quite nice to fiddle around with, the roughness value in particular.
For my skinning I hand paint the base tones then overlay a few photo textures, but I used them sparingly.
All the major details for my diffuse are taken from my high res head in zbrush in the form of a cavity map or overlaying the blue channel from an object space map

ZIDANE MESH!!! Super, maaan! /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[Japhir]

Hey guys, for school i had to draw a cylindrical projection of the eart (a map). I really enjoyed it and found that it is really a lot like uv mapping, so i figured that if i'd align the uv's of a sphere with the lines on my map, i'd get a perfect globe :P
so i did so really quickly and this is how it turned out:
the way we did the (very simple) projection:
http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/9647/aardecilindrischeprojecez3.jpg
and this is how it turned out:
http://img117.imageshack.us/img117/2631/aardeprojectie01zp1.th.jpg (http://img117.imageshack.us/my.php?image=aardeprojectie01zp1.jpg)http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/6813/aardeprojectie02wu9.th.jpg (http://img524.imageshack.us/my.php?image=aardeprojectie02wu9.jpg)http://img117.imageshack.us/img117/8680/aardeprojectie03nx7.th.jpg (http://img117.imageshack.us/my.php?image=aardeprojectie03nx7.jpg)
obviously it isn't a very good way of uv mapping a sphere, there is a lot of stretching going on, and the tops can't even be projected.

Just thought i'd share /images/graemlins/grin.gif

RUZ -
thank You for the tips. /images/graemlins/wink.gif
( I've knew = supposed that You were kidding ) /images/graemlins/grin.gif
My Mr.B.W. is early W.I.P - there's still lots of work.
When I will be sure at 99% of B.W.'s shapes - this mesh will go for ZBRUSHING.

That's some awesome looking anatomy rooster, it doesn't look that tame to me. Although a tail, some horns and claws could make it a bit less man with a lizard mask on and more lizard.

Beautiful stuf Robg

[frettchen]

RobG: I really love the style of your stuff, any chance of a mini tutorial on your workflow for painting one day?

Also I didn't realise you sold prints - I think I'll be grabbing a couple on payday to decorate the sterile place I call home /images/graemlins/crazy.gif

[Richard Kain]

Seriosly, Rob. Love your sketches. Keep them coming. It would be great to see some of the guys on these boards take a swing at modeling some of your concepts.

[Blaizer]

Me too ^^

You should do a comic man, you are great with colors.

[animatr]

hey Rob. there's a cool site for selling prints. it's free too. http://www.imagekind.com/Shop/?gclid=CO-_nYzLyowCFQgSgQods0SNWQ

DO IT!! I want to buy some!

I think you could get rid a some lines without loosing any form.
Any reason why you kept it strictly quads?

Very nice work!

I've since trimmed it down. Trying to keep it quads just for the sake of good habits transferring to Mud or Zb. (haven't tried those yet, but I'd like to)

I've started using it to build my character & have a few tris in it (since this is just my low poly guy)

RUZ & SLAUGHT -

thanks , that encourage me to go on.
I work mainly under CINEMA 4 & BODY PAINT , as I know there no "smooth groups" like under 3DS MAX.
When I work "boxmodeling", I switch off completly the smooth to see the shapes better way. On the snap of Mr.B.W. the smooth is about 30° for whole mesh.
Anyway - when he will be done - I will export him into 3DS MAX to add. the smooth groups better way for low poly version ;... the riging is expected too.
I keep the head in quads for ZBRUSHING later on.

I like it, but I'm having some trouble seeing a fire hydrant, or rather I'm having trouble seeing what use certain mechanics of it actually come into play with it being a fire hydrant.

Don't think I'll be posting to much on this before the finish. Just wanted to show this stage. The shoulder armor is as fantasy as it gets, but I like it, even if it is a bit impractical...and my colors are not final, just there to help separate the shapes...
