MJ Posted November 23, 2003 Share Posted November 23, 2003 After months of slaving away night after night with no sleep, the master himself Sal has produced these two works of art: completed 3D models of Miguel Huesos (dressed in yellow) and Tomas 'the Red' Encion (dressed in red). Tomas has gone through a few changes since you last saw him. He has a smoother hat and a nice new mouth. Sal is now going to take a break from modelling skeletons and work on animation and a room (the break room of the DOD, to be specific.) Tomas Encion Tomas Encion comparison - before and after Miguel Huesos Miguel and Tomas Please post praise to the legend that is Sal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huz Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 These look brilliant - especially Tomas! I like the contours for the cheekbones. They're definitely on a par with the models in Grim Fandango, if not better! Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incredible_d Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 Awesome. I have no idea how you do it, Sal, but you do it. You get it done with flying colors. Awesome, and the jaw makes it look twice as good or more. Now I KNOW Number Two is gonna be good. And Death as well. But most of all, I can't wait for DeCazador. Make him look insane, Sal. Awesome, again. Brilliant and professional looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holdios Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 wow.... wow... I'm speechless. They are absolutely fantastic Sallim. You're amazing. (D is right.

MeddlingMonk Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 Originally posted by Sallim Why I dont know DeCazador ?! Was it after part 7 ? =/ DeCazador is from Beneath Monkey Island. Or at least he will be, once part two comes lurching into the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ Posted November 30, 2003 Author Share Posted November 30, 2003 Valora DeCazador is a rather insane pirate who makes an appearance in Tierra de los Muertos, in parts 5 to 10. The DeCazador from Beneath Monkey Island is his brother, Armando. He will make an appearance in part 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredible_d Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Yeah.... I suppose the only other characters besides the ones we've listed would be Great Sage, Avegail, Irishman, Arab amd Pilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ Posted December 2, 2003 Author Share Posted December 2, 2003 Yeah, but the good thing about a 3D movie is that it gives me the oppurtunity to expand and add characters. I've got a few more up my sleeve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madjacks Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 the modelling looks good. But is that your final texturing it seems a bit to CG, To clean. Try adding a dirt map to the face just make it a little more worn. The red suit guys face has very tight Check bones, Some dirt or cracks might go well with it. But if your going for the clean skull look of manny it's good. The suits really need to have a more fabric look to it, it sort of looks like you've just slapped a colour on it. Also the shoulders look a bit polygonal needs to be smoothed out abit. But it's good, good tribute to grim fandango. Keep up them good work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holdios Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Meh, I kinda like 'em just the way they are. (Cue annoying billy Joel Music) I don't mean to shoot down any opinions but unless they don't match the environment (In a much later stage) I think they look fine. Of course, I know nothing about animation but that's just my opinion on what I see. Tribute to Grim Fandango ay? I suppose...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sallim Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 madjacks! Nice to meet you! Seems you have the power to support me Of course you´re right in every piont. But first this is the way 8 od 12 want it most..sure some things I have to tell him, but its fine that way. Texturing is not the best ..but what exactly ypu men be that ? " The suits really need to have a more fabric look to it, it sort of looks like you've just slapped a colour on it" ? Yea Red is a bit more polygonal. I dont no if it needs to be done. For some reason things looks sometime better low poly then smooth out ( all smoothie and flowie ?=) Do you have a big Pc in the pocket which can render all the suff ?? ^_^ ) Thank you very much for your opnio...so maybe..you wanna help me out a bit?=) My ICQ is 116712666 ( Sal tha super rookie = ) There is another thread you can take a look for more info.

madjacks Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 What program are you using, I'm only trained in Maya. If your using maya or Studio max (i think there similiar) Making a dirt map would be simply drawing or even getting a picture of dirt or just using a fractal or noise. Then you slap it on a node which you want say ambient colour thats a good one. Then turn the alpha gain, (amplitude also if it's a fractal) down a bit. Then you'll get this sort of smudgey dirt look like his face has been through a bit. Did you UV texture it or just assign them and use the 3dprojection node to move the texture around? If you UV textured it then i think like tiny bumps and pores would look great especially for close ups, you know how bone has those tiny bumps. But I think it looks good i dig that skeleton. Good luck with the project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sallim Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Its so difficult to understand what I write? I know how to do that thanks..but I search for someone how can animate it all is written down under "Announcement; Infos and "Need help" ! Thans anyway And holidos.. nothing to add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madjacks Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 I am alright at animation my tutor said that was a strong point, how many minutes of animation is it? have you set-up a skeleton for it? I could do that. HOw are you planning to weight it? rigid or smooth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sallim Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 My big problem is the planning to weight. And the "Inverse Kinematik" of 3dsmax, I cant get rid of it. When I try to setup the ranges for (x, y , z ) the bones all screw up. Cant even copy the IK Systems witouth have many problems. That the first- The planning of weight I dont understand right ( now ) What about this I give you a older version of "Red" and you can show me or setup it and i can take a look at it what you have done I dont have problems with the animating itself, but with setung it up on the models -_- Thank you for replay madjacks.
