@Kemi,
Hi bro, it is not a texture per se. I dont know how to explain it to you
but if you want the model and the textures I used, I could send them to you.
They arent textures really, they are materials.

@ xothermik,
Bros, long time. Its not the babe o, I left her long ago, it a brother, from
another mother and it is an entirely new thing i am on currently.

@ namzo,
I really love your drawing/painting up there. Very good in 2d, Im sure, Pls can I see some more, here or privately if that
will be convenient for you.

@ all
a shot from a current animated project

You just brought it to life with that powerful thingy.
Nice nice thingy.
I have to get the Vray plugin to really rev up my renders.

My most current animated project , rendered with Mental Ray

And a lil shot from a new cartoon project Im working on.

@ Idygurl,
are you an artist? Just curious O, from your seeming interest in art.

Yes I can write fantastic scripts for movies. But before I begin to commit, I wanna be sure
it will really be worth the effort and time. Let us visit your website and have a feel of what
you do.

I have always hoped I will have an opportunity to contribute to the Nigerian movie industry in an
unusual way , if you know what I mean, and produce a real movie. I got great
ideas and this could be the opportunity. But i gotta be sure. so,

Saw this late. If you are still interested, give me a nod here at cgkingslo@yhaoo.com and I will send my boys to ya. And we are good, dont worry.

@ billie,

Thanks my brother, but i am still trying to obtain the vray plugin o. I use mental ray. I f you still want the mental ray settings for this pc I could send it.

Take care and keep trucking.

Thanks people, appreciate the comments.

To improve that image, jsst like Soji said, you need to import it into a program like 3d max or maya and do your lighting there. You can also try out their material editors to create a material that will go with your lighting. If you are using mental ray,you could try the SSS Fast Skin Material.

Enjoy

Didnt complete it, did it a long time ago

Nice bill

Folks dont let this thread die.

Here s one of my GI experiments

One of my Global Illumination experiments

Forgive moi if I am posting in the wrong joint, I am not sure
I am qualified to do so here cos I havent really read through this
obviously very popular thread.

A cartoon animation/promo i am working on

@ maxani,
Is this the spot?

@ Gamine,
Hi, nice to meet ya, u cease not to imprease me

@ maxani,

Yes, will immediately do sir.

@ billie
Thanks for the prop and great t' meet you too.
I like the renders of cinema 4d, i have a copy but
have never used it. I just wanna settle for only two 3d programs cos
3d is not all i am into. After max, i planned to specialize in Maya but now
i find myself creeping towards Softimage XSI. The product has pleased me
in recent times.

And for what it is worth, XSI is now an Autodesk product. I dont know whether
that makes choosing a 3d program better or more confusing.

Well, Cheers.

Ouch! Crtl Z, or Crtl Alt Delete?
Soji are you sure we cant undo?

Here we go again. Yeah Here we go. They have now taken the Obama hype to nostradamus.

Trutalk,

Sorry, I skipped your post. You are right about that. But while I check whether I would be allowed to invite people I want to say that
that will definitely be what would happen eventually when decisions are made. yes

Guys let's do this. Chukwuemeka, maxani, how far? I need just two killer , or life giving 2d designs.

I am mighty sorry guys, I got deeply involved with so many things. So maxani, xothermik and all. It would have been a great idea to submit to the site, but the site is not ready for launch. But you could use my mail: cgkingslo@yahoo.com - preferred - or kingsley@defaultltd.com.

Thanks all looking forward to your exciting submissions.

Well, dont get too excited about this. This precedence is very strange and unusual. Obama doesnt look like good news either. The
world wide support and the land slide victory are all very very very eerie. Just might be the beginning of the end of the world.

Yo, i am extremely interested. Call that number in a few minutes

Sorry, I got caught up in some intense runs. Yes Soji, i modelled that gate from scratch. Tell me what proposal? Anyway, i will send you a mail.

maxani,

Thanks for your kind post and your interest. We can try to give you a very comfortable environment,
something to inspire artists, something as good as any bank if not almost. We can try; but we will all grow together.
Its really not how we begin that matters, it is where we are going. We can provide all the resources you require as
much as is possible in computing, uptodate info on CG, trainnings, etc. And remember working is also very flexible becuase
you are a freelancer. Pay, we know the worth of CG artist based on info coming to us from all over the world. We can try but
even if we are not able, we can strike an agreement. One thing I will assure you of is a constant flow of jobs and pay.

@xothermik,
Ask any questons and satisfy yourself beyond doubt. I came here on my own accord as a consultant to the company, I
will not take your time in vain.

Okay, Okay, Okay OKX,
I am sure you are an excellent artist, a very busy one too and you are not interested.
We can't have all the best artists. Okay, let's move on. Thanks for your kind comment, yes.

@ xothermik,
Hi, seen you powerful works before now. I have said before If there were any questions about this topic,
I would be glad to answer them. I believe I have given more info than is usually done in the Guardian:
It's a studio inspiring to be like Pixar and Disney; we need 2d creative freelancers to help with key projects
required to launch the studio, I wish you would reread the posts.

Meanwhile by end of October, I am sure decisions would have been made and this program would be wrapped up.

@ Chukwuemeka,
You are an excellent designer by my own standard. I have been to your site, I am amazed with the way you simulate
glass effects, glossy effects, metalic effects, you are good. Do you, however, create characters? I am not sure whether
I went through your site completely.

Pls this is not to affirm any negativity, with what you do, you are already ready to go as a paint/colour artist, effects artist or
even a concept designer. An ability to design characters and animate them in 2d will give you an edge, that's all I am saying.
I am adding you to my submission.

Two different things. If you are using 3d max,

Turbo smooth will help you smoothen those chairs, from the looks of it, you may have used
standard smooth modifier or smoothing group effect of poly objects. Turbo smooth is like meshsmooth but more powerful.

Ambient Occlusion is a wonderful way to simulate Global Illumination. After calculating your GI, you can
improve your design by adding Ambient Occ to it. It adds sdds sweet, realistic contact shadows to your
design, making it stronger and more realistic. Now, I am not too sure but I think Ambient Occ works only
with mental ray. I really havent used any other render engine so I can say for sure. By end of this week,
I should be a v ray user, thanks to someone I met on Nairaland.

This is an Occlusion pass from an animation project i did a while ago. See the nice shadows the balls
cast on the windy road. Or the shadows at the side curves of the road? Only AO can give you effects this neat.

Glad to help.

Every talented person is busy of no doubt, but there is nothing wrong in giving any kind of
opportunity a try. I do that alot. I guess its in Naija that you find this kind of mindset.
I contacted one of the best designers I ever saw in Texas from his website. He was not
only interested but as we got talking, he said he could even be available to teach me 3d. Although,
he admited he may not be able to respond quickly.

Anyway we will get what we want eventually, I wish i could post a submission of one Naija guy
who put in for this enrolment. Excellent masterpiece, you'd think it came out of this country. He was the
reason I decided to come to nairalland.

This one is mine, I am better than this though, I did this in about 4 hours. I wasnt really serious about it
I guess, I also had a full table. And the color looks funny here cos I did it in CYMK.

Hi Kal El,

Thanks for your response, Except there is something I missed I am certain I
said all you and I require to kick off with the deals. However, if there is something
not clear, I will be glad to answer any questions you have.

This is straight forward. For some of the contracts we have begun treating, we were able to
see the profiles of artists, their art works and contacts on portals such as CG Society. But we
think it would be less expensive to have physically reachable members. If you can give us a
preview of your works here or on any other portal like CG Society, as far as you are good and are
in Nigeria or west africa, we will contact you.

From there, we intimate you with the details relevant to you, discuss the terms of our work and proceed.
You may choose to come over to our office anytime to use our facilities during the time we are engaged or
work on your own from your office providing you have the tools and agree with our terms.

There is so much to say and it would be best you meet our officers in charge to work everything out.

Hey, I just found an old abandoned project. Guess who this is?
I will make time to finish it, then I will put up the finished work.

Very professional. Out of Naija, straight from Naija a

I dont understand how laughter found its way into this matter.
You projected a sickening and pathetic story and laughed at the end.
Xplain the idea. Is it a hyperbole or simile or which of those concepts?

@ post
No excuse in the world is enough for that murderer. They should allow
the drunkeness to wear away very well then make him suffer before they
send him to go and face God. This is where all those who even harbor the
thought of beating ladies are headed.

Thanks for the heads-up on the chairmanship issue of Occeanic Bank

Are you sure about his still being ill! I saw Cecilia give a testimony on this myself. She
wouldnt lie. or, Would she? Anyway Paulipopo should still put his super investigative machine
to work.

Of course everyone knows God is the one behind all healings. But I have never seen or heard Him heal without the agency of a man
or a prophet. Or have you?
