i did see one on the e billboards in abj for a while now but seems kinda different 2 the one u talking bout cuz there's no hip hop dancers on this one jus a 3d animation of some three cartoon style characters (two guys and a chick fooling around.)

one more thing shadowmay. those triangles or three sided polygons your making spell doom for an organic model like a face. three sided polygons dont smooth well and cause pinches and streches which is what uv got on the face of your model. try to avoid them at all costs  and use them only in areas that are sort of flat and wont be deformed or animated. try to always use four sided polygons when modeling because it smooth's out well.

as z pix stated try to follow muscle flow and giv your model good loops as u can see on the image below the flow
should radiate from the eyes, mouth and nose and ears. your flows are obviously streching the polygons in a perspective
style and your three sided polys are'nt doing a good job at hiding it.

keep practising and goodluck 

simple, create something or anything for the forth comin independence day. big or small 2d or 3d still or animated even a pencil sketch. whatever works for u.

likewise

gawd are u tense. rough childhood?

well thats just your own opinion really. indeed i was alarmed when i got the message and thot was doing the humane thing to warn as many as i can. nothing says i cant see the humorous side of it after it appeared to be a hoax.

@cristalz ok its now been discovered that it causes infertility

what! you mean no dead people? waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! . you guys want me to eat my post ba! thot i had a breakin news. felt like christian amanpour for a sec there. well i will buy a truck of apples and inject it with rat poison and distribute it to all the geopolitical zones of the country just to be right lol!

gobble on snow white!

i got the warning message from an educated 50 yr who does not prank around. he got it from some DR.Wada-nisa hosp. you'll hear more bout it soon im sure.

Apple is now a contaminated fruit to eat! all the ones imported into the country currently are contaminated and have been killing people. the statistics is nation wide and increasing. This message is from nafdac. its not a rumour.

red one  . cool, it was also used to film the district 9 movie. "THE EMBASSY" really did it justice in the vfx shots they worked on particularly the exoskeleton sequence. it really was of great help to them because they got to take out the chip and review it on a mac right after shootin on the set to see what worked and didnt.they did the ironman sequences too. look forward to workin with that someday.

exactli . i cant believe i was so damn proudda that.showd all ma peeps . uzd it as wallpaper on p.c and psp. buh hey gess i was a baby then. every one was there so gess aint nothin wrong with being one as long as u grow up! i hope next year i'll look at my current stuff and be just as irked (and nostalgic as viewing ur kindergarten pics) .

@shadowmay. your lambo is very nostalgic.modeled the same car a long time ago. i think it was my second car model .mine looks more like a toy to me now tho which kinda reminds me of how far iv come(still very very far to go). its among my old old posts on this thread.
@jydekris. love your work. kip it up
@kemji. come on men thats too low to reveal . whats this? a di angelo video

i was actually expecting something else when your topic said finger painting. this is acutally body painting. buh hey really great stuff.

hi again. here's one of my flame scenes using fume in 3ds max to creat fire from an instanced object(just like the one used on the human torch character in fantastic four) on simply the letter "X". nothin too fancy just that the fire looks quite cool, even if its for just 4 seconds

Looks like my cg world is shrinking by the minute. the guy who actually did the shooting was in my office the other day 2 discuss a project. which means i was able to watch the full res version in all its glory. passed a funny anecdote about how ramsy nouah told him twas the only movie he's proud of and culd keep to show his kids .really nice stuff. by the way you guys watch out for our website coming soon so at least you could see what exactly we do. another nairalander is neck deep into the web design.

@aphek yeah did some test wit the poly painting but its not as detailed or photorealistic as i want. im currently trying out the little texture i have in z brush along side photoshop via the z app link. still pissin me off. wud post something by monday or tuesday.

@soji c wetin you cause ba! now legosians dey find yaradua to kill for one badd hummer jeep with some heavy guns.

@shadowmay great stuff. im however curious about the immensely dense mesh on the hood. seems outrageously too much for a hard surface like that

@emmakc keep goin man.

my main issue is that you could hav erased the some of the black portion of the mechanical parts the give illusion of depht and dimention. the one on the arm particularly just looks like an arm band.

hi people. recently took the time to rig my yar adua model head just to try some rigging techniques. dint turn out bad at all. its an untextured low poly base mesh and the animation mit use some graph editors but its ok i think, chek it out n tell me what u think.

heres the link.

nanda? r u kiddin iv been hooked to that stuff for no less than 4 years.

mr aphek always a pleasure to have ur xpert c & c. i mus say i really feel ur angle it was excatly what i had in mind initially. kind of like a pterodactyl.the argument or explanation for its funny wings i had in mind was that its a bird that for some reason prefered land to the skies(enough nairalanders to chop for ground )and stopped flying and slowly had  its wings degenerate through evolution,like a kiwi. i am trying to avoid those flaps and extra bones because of rigging and animation.(this days i alwayst hear "animation, animation" when im modeling thanks to a coleague). but might still end up doing that. still a wip like i said. i havnt really started detailing the wing yet. the body itself might change without notice.

here's a skin detail experiment im trying in z brush b4 texturing.is it convincing. im not sure. what du u think? still a wip
