alright, We are done implanting the face rig. and i have been able to achieve a few facial expression. I took a whole lotta inspiration from these guys work...

so this is tailoring time...We're at the tailor house. And she is getting a designer stiletto while her suite is in the works...

done with hairstyle and current weight painting the facerigs

This time around.. I am going to work on an older Character. I have pre existing face rigs developed in the course of modelling Isis. I will use it and innnovate upon it.

I found a way of transferring Maya rigs to Blender. Super cool...

I am rendering out the animation of the boxers...hopefully it will take a Max of two weeks. It's just a two min stuff.

Meanwhile on my system, freed at last to work on another character. My aim here is
to be realistic as possible, especially with the face.
To develop organic face rigs
And to do a fully clothed figure with MD.

I am using this concept art by Ayaka suko

Someone did a Photoshop job with this... For me. Slightly amateurish but I still like it
Wish I can do Photoshop

Still trying to get new hair groom workflow with this old xter..

Look at that CG albino...

Whenever I other guys hair grooms... I get Into a low-confidence frenzy

Most renowned people are assholes in one way or the other. This doesn't surprise me.

So true....and human behaviour/Psychology/Sexuality changes over time. Well bred people can by the time they turn 60 turn into criminal masterminds and like wise

bazooka1:
Thanks for the feedback, brotherly. To be honest, I'm totally stuck in the face, especially the eyes. I try to model the eye balls using sphere as a placeholder, then model the eyes round the socket.
I have used this method over 20 times and still coming up short. I may have to try another workflow because so far, this is just not working.
I was wondering if I can get you on whatsapp? I could use a little bit of mentorship bro.

Here, use this

My old contact line died

I often use these pics for my eyes and female face study. But in your own case, you are working on a stylistic xter, so look for Disney or Anime character references

Can you pick amongst these pics which one(s) is CGI

Keep em coming...

bazooka1:
This is my first human model. This journey haven't been easy at all but I'm soldiering on.
This model is not finished yet, accessories like belt, hat and hair are still to come but so far, the face have been the most challenging. I haven't found it easy to get it right with the likeness.
I would appreciate your criticism @Naijabazaar and possibly more pointers to get it right.
Thank you

how far with the face?

The body is coming off good really...

I did not start out with vertex modeling myself and you are doing good.

Working on a face, i must confess, is one of the hardest things to do. and do you know that you had to study each component of the face too. My favourite part is the nose, super easy, a dash of clay and holes extruded inwards and voila you get the nostrils...

But the eyes, thats always hard for me...

Keep trying and search for tuts that specially deal of face modeling using vertices. There's a particular series done for the Sintel character using Blender. Its indepth and the tutor is a lady. Lady tutors are the best. they are lucid and not too fast paced

spirit of poverty

the other player . i am done with his textures...

While some internet users called for a “boycott of Einstein” and said his observations proved “all humans, even Einstein, have a stupid, shallow side,” most said the China Einstein witnessed is nothing like it is today.

“Einstein went to China at the wrong time,” said one Weibo user, describing the early years of the Chinese republic, established in 1912, which came after centuries of imperial rule. “Hunger, war, and poverty all pressed on the Chinese. How could Chinese people at the time gain Einstein’s respect?”

Many were in strong support of the scientist: “This is called insulting China? That’s ridiculous. Did the Chinese in that era look dirty? When I see the photos from then, they look dirty, Einstein depicted the true state of that era.”

Others compared the scientists’s observations to that of Lu Xun, considered the father of modern Chinese literature, who was best known for his scathing satire of Chinese society in the early 20th century. “We praise Lu Xun because he pointed out our disadvantages. Why should we blame Einstein for this?”

Historical narratives promoted by the Chinese government often paint the days before China’s communist party took power in 1949 as chaotic.

The state-run Global Times published an editorial on Friday praising the level-headed response of Chinese internet users. The author, who goes by the pen name Gengzhige, wrote: “I’m curious what Einstein would write now if he saw the open attitudes most Chinese show today toward his private diary.”

The editorial elicited over 2,000 comments. One of the most liked responses said: “Dignity is earned by oneself, not given by others.”

But there were some dissenting voices amongst the comments: “This is just racism. We can see that Einstein is strong in physics but he doesn’t understand humans at all.”

Einstein was a German-born Jewish scientist who was targeted by the Nazis and became known as an advocate for human rights. He once said in an interview, “Being a Jew myself, perhaps I can understand and empathize with how black people feel as victims of discrimination.”

But in his private writings on that journey from October 1922 to March 1923, “other peoples are portrayed as being biologically inferior, a clear hallmark of racism,” wrote Ze’ev Rosenkranz, assistant director of the Einstein Papers Project at the California Institute of Technology and the editor of the book.

Mr. Rosenkranz said in an email on Thursday that the book “provides an insight into his prejudices, opinions and attitudes on the members of foreign nations, but also on the national/ethnic groups he belonged to himself: the Jews, the Germans and the Europeans.”

He added that it also “confronts us with the limits of his humanism, his intellectual elitism.”

“I think a lot of comments strike us as pretty unpleasant — what he says about the Chinese in particular,” he also told The Guardian. “They’re kind of in contrast to the public image of the great humanitarian icon. I think it’s quite a shock to read those and contrast them with his more public statements,” he added.

When Einstein set out on his journey, he was in his 40s, already renowned for his work on the photoelectric effect and on relativity, and developing a second reputation as a progressive public figure.

LONDON — In 1922, the same year he received the Nobel Prize in Physics, Albert Einstein set out with his wife, Elsa, on a five-and-a-half-month odyssey of discovery of a new world: the Far East and Middle East.

Along the way, he was feted by a Japanese empress and had an audience with the king of Spain. He also kept a travel diary, noting in stark, often racist terms his impressions of the people he encountered on stops in Hong Kong and Singapore, China, Japan, India and Palestine.

The personal writings do not only reveal the musings of a man grappling with a jolt to his view of the world. They also expose “Einstein’s stereotyping of members of various nations and raise questions about his attitudes on race,” according to Princeton University Press, which has published the first full English-language edition.

The first volume in a planned series — his writings were previously available in German — is now available under the title “The Travel Diaries of Albert Einstein.” It complicates the portrait of a man often described as the most brilliant physicist of the modern era.

Well...I would have viewed it that way....but for that 93 election...Abiola was the general choice...so I don't really see it romr a tribal angle on the part of the south westerners...

If the northerners saw Abiola and voted for him based on qualities alot of other pple from other zones probably did the same....the easterners had their reasons for voting Tofa..he was their choice.
Those were the days of real manifestos, and real campaign, not these stomach infrastructure paroles done now, political stunt and evil media manipulation, using heards men and bokoharam news to discredit opponent..

I still think that an element of "Its our Son" hanged around via out the 1993 election....in as much as it was the freest since Nigeria's history, u can not take away the lingering stench of tribalism or lets be more euphemistic....LETS VOTE ONLY FOR OUR SON....thing going on in the SW.

I mean its too obvious


the divisiveness existed a long time ago, just that it rises clearly off the murky waters of 'pretentious nationalism' at this time...Buhari's 2017-18

wildimagination:
These were the days when pple didn't vote for party, relegious or tribal sentiments.....just for the individual qualities.....cos I can see here Abiola won even in northern states though he was yoruba. Funny enuf, we had all tribes at that time.



But what happened to Nigeria??

the emergence of buhari and the tendency of the SW to see anything apart from their zone and the North as inimical to their progress....are u not surprise that Tofa did not win any state in the SW

Can you hear the drums, Fernando?

i found the truth beneath your lies...
True love neva ask to lie

I've seen your scars and kissed your cries...

But then;

Since I joined this forum in 2013, I've never seen a tangible upgrade or modifications. We are still stucked with his early 2000s forum that goes offline whenever it wishes.

Nairaland forum is just like the present administration, where garbages are recycled year-in-year-out.

someone is working on an alternative. check out www.flixori.com
It has several upgrades

Well start with tutorials on blenderguru.com or goto my library www.flixori.com/Geeflix/ for starter tutorials

I love hearing this kinda stories... Perhaps one day Apple will buy Flixori.com

By the way, if u are interested in game development and need a character technician...I am available
Jere are samples of my work

Let's not deceive ourselves...this country is not working

We aren't meant to be together...simple

Cooly100:
But the worse corrupt people in the country are from the north and west...so what are you screaming about?

Why are you people so afraid of Biafra?

If they will be like Mexico, how would that affect you in your own country?

I wonder really.

Why are they, especially the south west. So afraid of the idea of Biafra?
They color the idea with all negatives imaginable. They often say Biafra will be akin to Sudan. How can they be so sure of that...Nigeria is already a sink hole...

Really we should ask the sociologist in the house to explain to us why a particular group of people will naturally not want another to break apart?

Are they afraid that the Niger Delta region might also demand for their own country if Biafra succeeds?

Are they afraid that the only tribe that is comparable to them in terms of intelligence, entrepreneurial sense and culture will leave and they can't bear the very thought of managing with less endowed tribes?

Sometimes if the co wife you always banter and quarrel with is not around, you find yourself subcontiously and automatically missing her

theGigolo:
Bravo sir

Bravo

I just go cinema 4d I don't know a thing on there, can't even model a brick.

That's how I am now with Mari...I don't know a thing there....

Put what do we do best, we start with the little things.

Start with a simple tutorial

I did some generic tatoos on the guy...whom I would name Fashek.

I have one big regret in this my chosen career. I wish I had delved into hard surfaces like the mates I started with....sometimes I regret being just an organic artist...

I started out with this guy, But look at his robots...
At least he can't do monsters and animals and hair...yet

And he is a big fan of Octane renderer (the Cinema4D edition)

Lips...and pimples.
Nothing gives me more joy than adding imperfections to the face... pimples

Modeled the gloves, some random skin....and preparing uv's for export.

Have you guys played this game fortnite? heard the makers makes money from character costumes which can go as high as $27.

Those guys streaming on twitch especially brevin is reportedly making $300000 monthly streaming his play.

And the makers epic games, though sued by Battle Underground makers, has made $400 million from the game alone. A game barely 9 months old

done with the feet, and finally i got my hands on MD, no more modeling of clothes by hand....huuhuhuhu

To think that i made this boxer under 15mins. MD is good

I think Nike should employ me, i have an eye for ergonomic, breathable sports wear design
