I wonder to see a flying slig or some flying sligs in different parts of the scene. One slig may situated near camera and some others may be placed behind the trains. It means that they will be farther and of course smaller. If you will make them in 3D, it wouldn't be a problem. )
|
Yeah, good idea, I'll think about that...;)
|
By the way, here is something I've done a long ago
http://img688.imageshack.us/img688/5...mudokonpop.jpg (I didn't find yet the version with less contrast, but I have it) I used to say I'll use it in the final scene, But right now I'm not sure anymore...Let's think about that too ! |
Do you want to add a banner near any boiler? If so, I think that it would be dirtier. And of course two lanterns must light up the top. )))
|
Don't worry, I love make pictures dirty :D
|
Okay, does anyone could tell me how much "fingers" does have a flying slig (as a mouth...? ^^) ?
I would say 4 but not so sure about that...Need your knowledge! Thanks ! |
Sligs apparently have 5 face tentacles. Take a close look at the concept art.
|
Yeah, I think you're right...
So, I'm now doing a 3D flying slig. Stay tuned ! Pictures soon ;) |
Okay, here are the news ; This afternoon (Now 9.00pm in France) I had an express zbrush formation ; I didn't use it before so I had to...read some stuffs and lessons about it.
Then I started the flying slig mod, it's actually pretty good as a beginning, I'll show you tomorrow. |
Here is a first basic mod from Zbrush
http://www.affectueusement-votre-eco...o/r19-pres.jpg Still working on this base I'm using the Zsphere system as you can see...I discovered it with Zbrush yesterday ^^ |
Looks promising.
|
I like the way it's looking.
|
Thanks for your following
Keeping studying the software http://www.affectueusement-votre-eco.../r19-pres2.jpg http://www.affectueusement-votre-eco.../r19-pres3.jpg |
Hi, I'm usually lurking and posting on the Mods & Hacks and I wanted to ask if I could use your feeco trains as BG objects in some screens of my AO hack ? (and, of course, put the link to your facebook page and giving you the credits for your work...)
Something like this... http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/k...h/ecotrain.png I'll delete everything replace them with something else if you want. I won't publish this level against your will. |
Please give him permission!
Skychase's levels are amazing! |
LauricGK, the slig proportions are very good!
|
Hi,
Yeah of course, no problem. I didn't make the train for side views, so I think it's kind of ugly for me, but if that's enough for you, well, do what you have to do ^^ Thanks for the credits ;) |
Thanks to you ^^
|
Okay, I just came back from few days of fun, but now, let's get back to work
I believe now I'm in the good way Waiting for your opinion ? :) http://www.affectueusement-votre-eco.../r19-pres4.jpg |
The tendrils are good, but everything else seems wrong structurally. But it's certainly better than anything I could do with 3D sculpting tools, so I don't feel right giving you critique.
|
It's all about proportions, each one element is done good enough, but some parts (tendrils) are too small/short and some like belly are definetly too big... Just stick more to the artwork you posted above and it should be ok
|
Noted about proportions.
But don't worry about the too big belly, etc, building the body was not the priority actually, I was focusing on the head ; So Varrok thank you, I just made the tendrils bigger, longer actually, I'll show you the result. I can say now that the fingers are going to make me crazy, I can feel it ^^ I'm feeling good now with Zbrush but I'm still a beginner so...!! |
(Sorry for the double post)
Here is an update Working on the body (Arms later) http://www.affectueusement-votre-eco.../r19-pres5.jpg Body sculpting in Zbrush is really, really, really fun ! Can't believe how much I missed before I discovered this software oO |
Now that looks fantastic.
|
It's better, keep improving!
|
Noted !
Next step, working on the metal parts. This is not going to be animated so I think I'll simply add the helixes/rotors (moving, so) on photoshop for the final composition. I also added some more skin details ; I'll add more and more ;) Texturing will be fun, can't wait ! Ah, please, don't watch the arms, not good yet ^^ http://www.affectueusement-votre-eco.../r19-pres6.jpg See ya! |
Just saw that on facebook, good work!
|
Thank you Varrok ;)
|
I love your Flying Slig, Lauric!
Perhaps I could borrow the model for my film... when you're done with it, of course ;) |
Sweet mother of odd... It looks fantastic.
|
That's looking incredibly good so far, Lauric. :)
|
This Slig is fantastic! When he will be textured he will look like improved original model from developers!
|
Thanks guys, I'll be back very soon with more funny pictures of the slig ;)
|
Okay, I'm teasing again...
Here is one of the slig position he (they) will take. http://www.affectueusement-votre-eco.../r19-pres7.jpg I know, that sounds funny. He's not dancing, I sware :) ...But this could be a good idea, hmm ? ^^ |
The first one who find what the hell he's doing, win !
|
Playing guitar?
|
Pulling a lever? Nah, that's stupid. He's a toreador (or, if you prefer, torero) and he's playing with bulls
|
Isn't that one of the poses the Newscaster makes?
|
Haha, nope !
Well, there is no reason for you to find what the slig is really doing, I just said that for fun :) But nicely tried ! More soon ;) |
Turning a very large and difficult valve.
The pose looks fairly natural actually, if a little stiff. |
