Looking forward to see what you'll come up with this time.
Best of luck!
what do you think? which one would be the most interesting?
it will be a self-portrait...
i would love to dress myself in a wedding dress...
i refined my concepts a little bit.
i would love to make the bride-costume. but i like the idea of a steampunk-panda too.
what would you like better??
thanks for the replys.
Make sure to click the register button on the official page and provide at least your name, WIP post URL, and Mixamo login or associated email.
That way, we can make sure you have free access to Mixamo and Houdini services for your contest project.
thanks for the reminder! i directly wrote the mail.
here is the new and final concept i will work on.
i just didnt like the steampunk panda, so i changed to the old-fashioned but stylish ape... maybe i will try to build in some steampunk elements, but for now the direction is found!
Note: Didn't see your email come through. Did you use contest@mixamo.com?
well, i'll try again.
my mail adress is "brain@jan-daniel.nl", so maybe its comming to your spam? but my last mail did go through as well....

thanks nacertag, maybe it is a little bit mainstream.... we will see, how i make his outfit
next step on creating the base:
sorry, long time no update... i am in classes-time for the university, but finally i took some time to work further.
i changed the idea completely. i will go after an fat badass steampunk sheriff monkey...
this is my progress so far:
further work on mr. monkey.
whoa... this will be so much work... so much work... i love this kind of work :poly142:
have some big problems with the... uhm... "shoelace"...:
I gotta say, I'm not sure what's going on with that shoe lace! :P
i mean that... uhm... laces... i dont like how they look.
and i still have to add some more details.
i worked on the pants and he has finally a hat!
still lot of work.
i hope, that houdini works how i hope it works.
i have some non-cloth things attached to the cloth.
hopefully i can manage to simulate his cloth... :poly122:
for the non cloth objects u do not need to put it in the sim, i think u can just put some kind of surface constraint on them to stick to the cloth or if u use max u can import your simulated cloth and apply a skin wrap on your hi res cloth and it should work fine .and im sure there is something similar in what ever 3dpack u r using
again love your update:thumbup:
12++
i will have to experiment
@twelveplusplus: thanks. yeah, he doesnt use a barrel... ^^
some slow progress... i didnt like the pants in the shoes so i pulled it over them.
some work on the handshoes and the belt. nothing big here, just wanted to share the progress.
i think, i go with the bright brown.
i finally got the time to finish the painting stage. And now the real pain begins: retopo! -.-'
@Jim Crafton: i dunno, i will see whats available on the mixamo site and what fits mr. monkey the best.
EDIT/HELP: maybe someone knows, is it possible to have a "thick" surface as cloth in houdini? His coat has thickness and i need to know before retopologizing it... would be nice if someone knows the answer. if not, i have to try... :-/
i will try.
i only know the shell modifier in 3d max...
In Maya, for any cloth sim work, I'd apply the cloth dynamics to a single-sided surface object. I'd then bake this into the geo once my cloth was working the way I wanted it to. If I wanted to add any thickness to the object, I would apply it afterwards. You should be able to use a similar workflow in Houdini.
Good luck!

like your progress:thumbup:
many thanks for the replys! i definetely will try this way.
i already thought, it has to be a one-sided geometry. but for today i am done with retopology, uv and baking.
for now only diff and normal maps.
Polycount for now: 7800. the coat will be heavy, because it has to look smooth.
short and simple answer: the original mesh is 34mio polys dense. so it isnt animateable at all.
this one is real low poly. i could give some better topology on the pants, but i was too lazy.
i use normal maps, because it worked best for me...
and the last and very personal reason: i want to have another piece for my portfolio. and maybe i can use that character later in a personal game project.
i had a very hard time to get the whole thing working inside houdini.
i tried the sim with painted values (very high bend on the collar, weak stiffness on the rest), but it took too much time to simulate.
i won't add the belts.

Sorry you had difficulties with Houdini: Can you sum up some of the things you're having trouble with here? Maybe we can get you some help from the Houdini team?

Then I can have a developer look at your topology and setup and make suggestions.

i use single quad faces.
My main problems are the right settings to make it look realistic.
after i painted different weightings (strong bend, stiffnes etc) on the collar and the rest, it renders unbelievable long and at some point it explodes.
So i tried to make "generic" settings without painting. But now it bends too much at the bottom.
i will post my file at side-fx. I hope you can help me to find a way to make it look good.
many thanks for your help!
