Lisa Lambert - BIO:
When Lisa Lambert was 2 years old she had to move to live in a huge mansion on the English countryside. There she was raised by her kind and loving Grandpa who was a renowned adventurer who embarked on countless journeys.

Grandpas interest in the world of unknowns and passion for exploration quickly rubbed of on Lisa whom all her life (6 years) passionately devoted every second for adventures, which was greatly supported by Grandpa.

The Voynich Manuscript was the only unresolved mystery that Grandpa never found answers to, when Lisa found out about this her life purpose was clear, she would continue her Grandpas work and uncover the mystery of the Voynich Manuscript.



Hi everyone.
This is my quick concept and this is my first entering a contest.
I´m going for something that will be quite a challange for me. A cartoony and cute character. My source of artistic inspiration is pixar and ghibli (easy peasy ;p ).

Thank you and good luck everyone!

lotet

aw that so cute!
you should rename your thread after the naming convention though.

Chaouch

thank you lotet, I´m abit of a newbie when it comes to take an active part in forums, I cant seem to correct the naming convention....

Ultraperson

I like this concept. Looks like it will be fun to make!

chudork

you can edit your first post, click on advanced options or something like that, and there you can change your title

alphajayel

really cute and effective character design!

Chaouch

Thanks all for the comments. Here are some latest updates.
basically just a 3D concepts, blocking out shapes and proportions. The only thing that is near final is the garden gloves.

chudork

nice and cute , question how did you do the hair, is it zbrush? or some other program?

Its within Zbrush called fibermesh. I attach a litle tutorial image, hope you can make sense of it. Groom away!

chudork

ooh thanks for the tip/tutorial, i think i may have to get a newer version since the one im using (4r2) doesnt have this function

DiegoTeran

i dont recommend using fibermesh for the hair guys. remember you are going to retop, project and rig this character along with some animations. use planes for the hair =]

Thanks for the heads up, Turista.
I only use the Fibermesh for renders and to get a better feel for the character.

Has been hard to find the time so not much new to show but I have started to detail the shoulderstraps for the backpack.

jeebs

nice strap modelling, looks really good

opico

Nice level of detail!

Chaouch

thanks jeebs,opico!

here are another update on progress, I´ve continued on the shoulder straps and started on the shirt, and a butterfly-belt-buckle . I will redo the shirt, not happy about the foldings but it will stay on for now and I´ll continue with the rest.

lotet

great quality in those details, I think the hair is kinda lacking style though, and not realy matching the rest of the sculpt. I have no idea how fibermesh works so cant really give any propper crits but maybe thicker strands?

Chaouch

Thank you lotet, I agree with you, the hair looks off.

here is a new update, I redid the shirt, and got some more stuff to do but its getting there.

Chaouch

new items and updates, the waistbag is done I think also gave her an Ipad stick out of the backpack (every modern adventurer must have one) and a candybar tucked in the shirt sleeve.

Chaouch

a pith helmet getting ready, I´m gonig to roughen it up abit, everything is too clean right now.

Chaouch

I´m still here . It´s been hard trying to to make time from work to keep a steady flow. But here is a few updates, I´ve worked mostly on the backpack.

Alara

Сute girl, especially I like her backpack! )

Chaouch

Thanks Alara.

Quickly roughed up a pair of binoculars, a must have for any adventerur.

homrighausen3d

Love the concept. Really digging all the little details in the backpack/pouch.

Chaouch

Thanks homrighausen3d.

Trying out some colors and cleaning up the backpack.

Chaouch

The deadline is closing in! I have a couple of new items to produce but I think that I´m nearly finished with the highpoly soon. I´m dreading how the autorig will handle all the props and backpack (I haven´t use it before).

lotet

love the new hair, dont worry about the autorigger, its awezome. only thing might be the sleeping bag, but you can probaby edit that in a 3d software afterwards.

my only crit so far are the legs, they look like small sticks rather then legs.

Chaouch

Thanks for the pepp, and feedback Ill try thickening the legs.

Stiffler

This really is looking great. I agree with Lotet about the Auto-Rig. Rig her body separate, then weight the props in a secondary 3D program. Mixamo's autorigger will read the backpack and tent as body parts and try to integrate them into an over-all weighting scheme (kinda like if she was a hunchback with a big butt). If you rig her alone you get more accurate weights for the joints.

Chaouch

Thanks Stiffler!
I tried out the autorigger with a quite dirty mesh just to go through the process once, and I am so impressed, it works like a charm!

I have been working on the lowpoly and hit the 20k target. Baked out all the normals so now its a texture marathon waiting me. Best of luck all you guys and girls crunching!

KatArt

Good luck with textures! Nicely done baking)

Chaouch

Thank you KatArt!

here is the progress, I got plenty more to create and seams to fix

Anais

Wow, great progress. You're almost there. So nice to see it textured. Only need one last push to upload it for Auto-Rigging and animating...! Looking forward to the submission.
