LPC: Time 2 Die - Skeptical Nate & Japhir

Japhir

Me and Skeptical Nate are going to do this!
Me- characters
Him- environment

We've already got some ideas, but Skeptical Nate is working out the story atm.

Em.

Oh god...Nate...seriously? That guy is like a TOTAL douche.

Just kiddin' man, good luck guys!

Japhir

lol :P.

here's a quick sketch for one of the survivors. might give away the story a bit already .

butt_sahib

weerd, i was expecting a big update after the long wait
mmm 70's b-baller stuck in a b-ball court?

Looking forward to the mesh

Nate Broach

haha Butt you win! thats exactly what we're doing.

Should have some updates from me by tommorow, this was just a busy weekend.

Looks good Japhir! Now he just needs some high socks, wrist bands and maybe a fro pick.

butt_sahib

what do i win!!?! cookiez? (kthanksbai)

not to forget are the all-stars chuckies

Funky Bunnies

I was thinking zombie globe trotters

lookin' forward to this

Japhir

okok so the last update was a bit lame. (had to celebrate "sinterklaas" (=santa claus, only way cooler dutch tradition).)

wippy wippy.
crits welcome! i wonder if the afro head will work this way .



EDIT: the tris count is wrong, there are some hidden reference planes in there. it's still above 800 though.

Nate Broach

Start of the environment, still lots to clean up and space to fill.



crits welcomed!

butt_sahib

Hmmm, not really sure why the hell the afro will work with the way you have it right now? an afro is totaly spherical, dont think you can mimic that with a bunch of planes? cant you just extrude? but im sure you have your reasons

Nate:
ooo i love the damaged main door XD

Rick Stirling

But his fro has a sweat band, so it should work.

Japhir

i tried making it work, then decided that it'd be easier to just model it out. (i wanted to do it the "varga hair tutorial" way, wanted to try if that would work with these limits. it didn't).

update: this is all just a color blockin. i decided to choose number 11, since 8 is so unoriginal :P. (due to symmetry).

hawken

how about 0?

Loren Broach

Looks good! Though I think his shorts to be much shorter if it's in the 70's

Em.

Agreed about short-shorts.

Michael Knubben

His arm bends in a very odd place. Move the elbow up a lot!
If you're not sure I'm right, try to just looking at it with a black material applied (or set it to scene lighting without any lights, whatever).
it's funky, but not in the way you were going for.

Nate Broach

A little progress...must work...faster...



edit: tri count shown isnt accurate, its about half that.

butt_sahib

GOGOGOGO!
So your only going to be showing that corner of the court? If so, zoom out so we can see the whole mesh at this point
Do you have everyting measured up? i think you have some scaling fuckups

EDIT:
Yeah japhir, you shold take it up like pea said. Also, reduce the thickness of the calves and the neck.Players like the one you have here used to be thin and tall

Nate Broach

Which part in particular is bothering you scale wise? The one part I purposely fudged was the court lines.

I was trying to fit as much of them as possible so I pushed them towards the door more than they actually would be, just so you could tell its was a basketball court easier. But if its standing out too much, yea Ill put them in the proper place.

butt_sahib

I think its being accentuated due to the courtlines, but i think theres something more. Would you mind posting a zoomed out view?

Japhir

thanks guys! i can't believe i missed that wonky elbow . i'll fix it asap.

Nate Broach

Sure, but I dont know if itll help much, I didnt actually model the whole gym.



I threw the scale guy in there to help.

Japhir

looks great nate! shouldn't it be a playable environment though? never mind, that'd be too much work .

update:

Nate Broach

Not a huge update, still working on the metal framing of the bleachers =/ trying to make them more convincing.



Edit: hey you posted right before me, nice progress!

Yea the rules didn't specify about making it "playable" from what I saw, so I just wanted to focus on this one area. I think modeling the whole gym would've been redundant and a little boring to look at.

Nate Broach

Unfortunately this as far as Im going to get for this comp =/. Ill move it to p&p after this because I still want to finish it.

butt_sahib

Whatz?!? No way dude. Your pretty much done with everything! You only have to texture the chairs,the ball, the ball container, the door and the two flags on the wall. Each of these is going to take like 10-20 minutes each. And then a further 20 mins to dirtify. i have to rig my character, texture it some and pose! You should be able to do it dude. Its a weekend, not like anyone is going to bother you
YOU CAN DO IT!

Microneezia

Ya actually I was looking forward to see this textured SkepticalNate, from the looks of your site you got great lower poly texturing skills. I was hoping for more!

Japhir

zombie arm accessory:


...need... ex... tension :O .

butt_sahib

oooo. horny

Japhir

you think a zombie arm is horny? freak :P.

here's a new zombie wip. the shirt and jeans are very flat, gonna add folds/wrinkles in later.

Japhir

I SPAM MY OWN THREAD!!!

some edit>image>adjustments and some painting later he looks a bunch better already .

butt_sahib

ummm....you really should be posting the final dude!
I love that cancerous out-growth

Carl Brannstrom

Those jeans are really thight, yet so loose.

The model looks like spandex but the texture reads as some really thin fabric that is blowing in the wind.

I'd suggest you to re-make the model so the legs are more cylinder-shaped.

For the texture you should take a look at this picture



As you can see, there's only wrinkles and folds around the crotch, knees and ankles.

I would like to see this finnished. Even if the time for the competition is over.

Japhir

hey thanks guys .
nah, couldn't finish because nate said he couldn't finish himself. i just kept on moving at the same pace though.
thx corv, yeah the pants where pretty weird. (also very wip).
here's an update, i hope you like it . i don't know about the blood ...



edit: oh, and if a mod could move this to P&P we could finish it there?
