Contributor ajz3d Posted September 25, 2015 Contributor Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) Great , i wanted to see the textures and fur , as now it takes away some of the magic. But don't you think that the most terrifying are things that our eyes can't see? Because then our imagination kicks-in and digs out the worst fears from our brains? Most of the horror flicks, at least from the 80's and early 90's usually show monsters in a very dark light. I think it's not only to hide faults of the puppets or costumes, but also because of the factor that I mentioned above. You can't serve everything on a plate, really. Great work so far , eyes , mouth and teeth gave me the chills ..... Wow ajz3d! That monster is amazing! Great job so far! Thanks guys! Tomorrow is the render day. I wish Mantra was a CPU+GPU renderer. It's quite slow, even with optimized settings. Edited September 25, 2015 by ajz3d 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contributor ajz3d Posted October 3, 2015 Contributor Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 Yippee! Thank you all for your votes. It was a pleasure to participate in the challenge amongst such fine artists. I love all of the creatures you guys have created. This challenge was an excellent opportunity for me to explore various methods of manual fur creation. The choice of the proper one for my creature wasn't easy. Many times while working with poly sheets (it was a monotonous and a very time consuming process) I caught myself jumping back to sculpt room just to see if maybe a sculpted fur will look better on the Crite. At one point I also came up with an idea to clone a single poly strip over the body, combine the resulting retopo groups into one and then comb the strips with a Brush tool into any type of hairstyle. This would work if "roots" of the strips could be locked in place and the stroke could start outside of geometry. Unfortunately, neither of this is possible in the retopo room, so I had to drop this idea.I'm thinking on a subject for the next challenge. I'll post it this weekend.---P.S. The blueish tint was intentional as I, more-or-less, tried to emulate "Hollywood night" lighting conditions from night scenes in "Critters 2: Main Course":(a still from "Critters 2: Main Course", New Line Cinema 1988)On my final renders I had to increase the exposure quite a bit to reveal the details. Otherwise they would be lost in the darkness. Hence the lighting might be a little bit off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contributor ajz3d Posted October 4, 2015 Contributor Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 you just needed a little push.......If you hadn't backed me up with firm words during my moment of doubt, I probably wouldn't finish the creature without using some kind of fur system as I was super tired with transforming of all those 283 sheets. Guys, regarding subject of the new challenge: what is your stance on fairy tales and medieval clothing? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor Michaelgdrs Posted October 4, 2015 Contributor Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 No worries , i see your shiny precious badget and feel good lol. Fairy tails and medieval clothing , super cool idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member BringItBack Posted October 5, 2015 Member Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Congrats AJ! Your moment of doubt is probably written in the job description of at least a few Pixar staff. And well done to everyone. Fairy tales / medieval clothing sounds good. I'm still putzing away on the lion, looking forward to seeing this if you go ahead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contributor ajz3d Posted October 6, 2015 Contributor Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) Actually, they didn't speak like this. That's Hollywood's line. -- Okay, maybe not this in particular, but all those ARRs and HARRs or anything with hard R's in general.
