Ok maybe its time we wake this page up again, where is kaz... Where yall??

he's in the freezer ....nitrogenated till 2024.

Been watching too much of the matrix since morning

Thread...and feet

I have been working on feet.

Feet is the new thang...

The very reason
I hate to do characters for games is that you are constantly limiting yourself to a certain number of vertexes and as such reducing the inclination to add as much detail as you would naturally want to add...

Back to anatomical studies, getting rusty abit...this is a random afternoon drool

this is Yam Legs

Also an opportunity to study feet as much as i can.....

Zedoo:
20x24inch portrait.

This is beautiful....


Am I sensing a tendency to produce as much as possible while sacrificing ur trademark style, Dear Zedoo?

a quick rasterized version of Blessed....

Testing Cycles skin shading networks primarily built for Blessed and also light setups, that will capture the mood and all.

wonder when i will finally finish this work.

A curiosity worth studying and prime for the draft board

bazooka1:
Naijabazaar, I have been following your thread from page to page since last year and I must say, I got inspired to learn 3D graphics. (who wouldn't be inspired to learn haven been exposed to mind blowing curiosities).
Anyway, I dabbled into learning Autodesk Maya with basic tutorials from pluralsite and I was able to follow through and model this mech. It have been an intensive 2 weeks but I am surviving.
Hopefully, you will be there to hold my hand on this journey.
Have a lovely day bro.

Thats how we roll

One step at a time...Congrats, dont stop. Push yourself harder.


So here i did a random test on hair clump shapes with this pose, i want it fluffy sort of

i wish i can bake my hair and cloth collisions at the same time....for some reason (perhaps my system is wack) my softbody sims keep collapsing in.

Still working out a solution. In the mean time, i discovered how to control the hair clump shapes with curves. Blender is just too good. Peregrine sells their stuff for almost $200 and here is a software that produces almost the same (if not a better , in the hands of the proper experts) quality of hair sims.

Blender foundation should also work on the cloth sewing algorithms....they should still codes from Marvelous Designer naa
These days i live my life stealing algorithms from the chinese

OKX:
Nice bro, real nice.
Can't wait for a ruff clip.

Tip tho, if he's snooping or tip toeing, the legs lead the body (and head) not vice versa.
That is assuming he's walking on two as ur initial pose suggests.

When he bends to squeeze under the barrier, if he's a biped, the legs should provide more balance and shouldn't be too far behind the head (and rest of body); or if he's a quadruped, the hands should already be on the ground. That pose isn't quite balanced, unless the animation is the zippy Johnny Bravo style, and that pose is an inbetween that will take less than half a second.

Great poses, pls do a playblast even if in stepped mode.
Well done!

Thanks for the critique, Sir.

I've revised as much as i can.

I've to confess, i did not look at references while doing this. I'd just animated as it reeled off memory.....which is a hopeless thing to do

I'd actually want that Johnny Bravo or Cloudy with a chance of Meat balls' style .

I will post the playblast to you, Sir.

I am battling with the interaction of cloth with the fur....that area is tawdy

and over the weekend , I fell in love with Taylor Swift. Never believed i could.

It was all based on her video : Look what you made me do.

There was a section where one of her personaes was a snake witch. The vfx there is thrilling.
The snakes had to coil into a pedestal and serve her tea.... and the there are the zombie version of her.

I suggest you watch it. the VFX is superb

So, i'd revised the rigging to be more flexible, i had to ad more flexibilty to the spine, so it (lets start calling it, Furry) can bend at angles efficiently.

I'd a 50 secs animation of it snooping via that fence. I will try to do a small simulation that involves cloth, soft body collision and ofcourse hair...In my next life i should be a Hair stylist. Why the heck am I fascinated with hair

Meanwhile, i had a wonderful weekend. I slept alot during the day and at night spread my dark leathery wings.

I tried to build a stone masonry asset and also finished with posing my furry one.

I found myself rearranging the uv pack of the rat. Do you know you can manipulate hair with UV's? I'd discovered that recently...

jokingmary:
Goodness moi!!

I'm so loving this "blog" abi "thread". I've spent more time here than I can actually think of.

Thank you.

Since I'm more of an animation person though can model but not organic modelling (that one nah die so I throw way cap for una), I've learnt a lot here

thank you for loving this thread. I'd advise you to stay in your animation field really. animators are in huge demand. it is better to be good in a particular field than to grasp it all. though some are excellent generalists, but they have two and a half brains unlike us

getting woke

frankmoney:
bro can you give me a direct link to.download Autodesk Maya ? Can't seem to find it on 4shared

try cgtools.ir

who goes there...

Sapphire in the sky. At night I wonder, do my tears of desolation sink beneath the Sun?

We need someone that will not jist push threads here to fp but engineer competition. Take a look at the literature section and see what Divepen does...

And Seun you also need to hire peeps or create a platform for freelancer programmers that enable s them to write new features for this forum....this forum is so old and needs to update.

Don't take this as bad Belle. We love this forum. We feel it's a naija invention and that's why we are pointing out these faults. Upgrade na...

If it's too difficult hire peeps from this community to re engineer the forum....

Seun, Nairaland needs to raise an IPO in the future o

So fire up things... surprise us

Now that everyone wants to be Mod both the serious programmers, Wannabes and the HTMLers, Oga seun ignore all....

Develop an A.I algorithm to handle the moderation. It should be a simple task for someone of ur caliber

My 'Blessed' is ready for proper rendering, i am done with all the rigging....

and at the same time, i decided to complete the Rat rig too..

...Keeping up with My Personal projects...

thats just what the Nigerian Army is good at....Killing defenceless , bound people?

Ordinary BH they cant face

origima:
What is wrong with Nairalanders? If the Army kill criminals they will complain and if the criminals kill Army they will complain.
Nairaland is full of Anti Buhari and this country won't move forward with this attitude

Shut it...

In your heart of hearts, Do thes poor guys look like menacing criminals?

who gave them the right to summarily execute persons?

If they were criminals, who stops them from handing them over to a competent court even a military court will do

CAPSLOCKED:

NO ONE SHOULD EVER FEEL GUILTY, OR ASHAMED OF THEIR SEXUALITY. NO ONE.

FALL IN LOVE WITH WHOEVER YOU WANT IRRESPECTIVE OF GENDER, AND BE AS HAPPY AS YOU CAN. YOU'RE YOUR FIRST AND BIGGEST SOURCE OF HAPPINESS, DON'T LET NOBODY UNDERMINE YOUR RIGHTS TO MAKE YOUR OWN CHOICES.

YOU ONLY HAVE THIS ONE LIFE, LIVE IT TO THE FULLEST.

Wonderful....i wish everyone will imbibe this spirit

I have some nifty explanations on CGI hair posted to the library, with this documentary you'd have an in-depth explanation of the methodology used in creating hair for the Brave Character.

check under the References tab to watch it

frankmoney:
ok man am thinking of learning Maya , since I have intermidiate knowledge of blender , can you give me a link to download Maya ? And do you think the transition will be hard

Goto 4shared.com and search for autodesk Maya 2016

The first three months will be a baptism of fire. but after that, if you are tenacious enough, you will always reap aplenty

Have you ever wondered how to rig an Octopus? with its eight legged wahala ?

Well, i am posting a new tutorial on that in the library.

This project warranted that i should rig eight squiggly tentacles, so i'd some youtube scavenging and came up with a nice tut.....

frankmoney:
Nijabaazar do you use cycles to render ?

Yes, I do use Cycles as well as these >>

Corona (Cinema4d Edition).....i am desperately trying to get good with this one, since its the fastest and still give Cycles' quality

Zbrush BPR

Arnold (Cinema4d and Maya Editions)

slawomir:
shuuut upppp
just tell me one thing you have contributed to the nation
just shut up abeg

Regardless of how nationalistic you mayest feel. Nigeria is still hopeless. Those of us still here is becos we can't afford to leave.

Dear this country is a Rat race. Bury all hope

NExt phase is Rigging. done with the textures...

I am sort of Happy that we are "tiptoeing towards a minefield" at least it will set the path to "Going our separate ways"

Annoying Country..
