Hi Luuk and everybody, first of all WOW, i'm really impressed by your application and count me in the number that will buy the software. i saw Face Robot from Softimage that uses a similar system of markers and i have to say that, being a pro software, it didn't impressed me so much. it would be fine to have a real time recording and applying deformation to the model inside A:M, anyway your software works very well. it will be perfect with eyelids and eye tracking about the price i think it's affordable, considering that Face Robot costs something like $50,000. i'll stay tuned for the trial release. ... Vince

no worries at all, let me know if you need some other view, more detail, higher resolution other pose... ops... no skeletal yet ... Vince

Hi Macb, sorry to see this only now, i cannot do anything but join the chorus and say: awesome! beautiful splining, texturing, and feeling of the characters (specially the child). i'm always looking for the lower possible spline density/more beauty. and i have to say... you rock, man! only a lil crit: may be the mother is a bit too photorealistic for that child, or the child a bit cartoony for that mom. i would go to cartoonize the mom a little (i like cartoons ) bye... Vince

Hi everybody TA-DAH new tits John, i'm planning to dress her with may be some latex outfit Rion Vernon is my favourite cartoon pinup artist too, i checked the Shane site and... wow really beauty stylized girls! i like them! and btw check this forum drawingboard.org there are allot of great artists, check the girls section :hello: Vince

OMG not in that sense with such eye it's difficult that the guy doesn't see her winking! no worries Paul thank you Rod for infos and now... new tits! i think it's better like this, don't you? bye

Hi Matt, mainly... i dont know, i was scribbling while waiting for a rendering, and something popped up when had this image of Dean Yeagle in front of my face. and i thought to invert the roles in this way so i decided to make a model of her and create some gag about Leela i had the same thought. Hi Jon, thanks, i'll try to move her

Hi Rusty, yeah, i'm already thinking to give her a second (or third?) boob, she'll be a real hotty

Hi everybody, it was for me a long time of absence from this forum, you missed me! now i want to show you a female (as usual) sexy (as usual) alien (not usual) character. she will be the main character of a comics story i'm workin' on. she comes from the planet Klaatunia and has a singular body conformation some concept first. and some model images hope you like her and i thing to do many hilarious gags from her cheers... Vince

Hi Davie, nice start and good splining. i had somewhere in my hard drive images of the same gal, hope they'll be useful to you. in my (not so great) experience, once i have rotoscoped my images, i had to modify my model, even heavily, to fit my idea of beauty. this girl seems to be quite nice but, once modeled, you'll see that you want to tweak here and there and go quite far from the rotoscope to have the same beauty of the image. the rule is: follow your fantasy, don't (always) follow the rotoscope pesonally i would add some edge loop on the nose-labial crease, especially if you want to animate her. good luck... Vince

Hey... br... breast?... are you talking about breast? is there a breast contest? where? when? how? are there wet shirts? present! here i am! good work Brainmuffin, may we see a high-res wire frame? ... Vince

fine Colin! how do you obtain that GI effect? on Win XP you can use an animated gif, already tested! but it slow down your computer. bye... Vincenzo

Hi Jake, really cool animations, congrats bye... Vincenzo

Gene, we could met, Francavilla is not so far from Ancona (my town) a couple of hour of car/train. next summer, OK? now, technicals. i used A:M for Nicole , of course, and the whole scene, the piano, the microphone and the curtain. i have tried to use Rhino to model the microphone, and i did it (10 min), but when imported the mic in A:M i had a disaster of spline, when imported as a prop, i cannot have a good geometry, peaks here and there and no way to fix them. so i remodeled it in A:M tryng to do the cuts with booleans but it takes too time to render, and the edges were too sharp. i tryed to model the cuts phisically finding manually all the intersections, also to give to the edges some bevel, this drove me crazy at this point i applied a transparence map to the body of the mic and here we go. it's not perfect but, that's it. i used Silo to try to fix some polygon of the mic model from Rhino... i gave up. BTW: i'm a mechanical designer some images of the Rhino modeled mic vs. the A:M modeled mic. bye... Vincenzo

oui, je suis le nouvelle Rene Magritte what you mean? perhaps you mean: are you using the same body on both girls? yes, she's the same girl, i have hidden the dress only. bye... Vincenzo

Hi William, i'm interested in the process you used to export and refine the model from A:M to STL (i suppose) how did you fix 5ppatches and hooks? or didnt you use them? i ask this because i, sometimes, have to export from A:M to STL and i need everytime to do a lot of cleanup about 5pp and hooks. if you dont use them, what's your 5pp-less and hook-less tecnique? thanks a lot... Vincenzo

thanks to all as always, Yves: i never quit to believe in Santa... particularly in this kind of santa yes the shoes don't have soles i didn't plan to do a closeup of them. the character was intended as semi-cartoon but if you want i can try to give her a more realistic look. John: i think there's nothing to see in "between", she has no body under the dress. i have used a simplified rigging needed for a static pose, now i have to give her a more complex skeleton with more controls for animation, may be i'll need some help to do this, thanks. Hairs... i'm experimenting a lot, i think i need a more powerful computer or graphic card. Charlie: she IS a natural blonde Eugene: grazie, did you came in Italy last september? ciao... Vincenzo attached image: Nicole Naked, Beware nudity ahead

thank you everybody for your kind suggestions, i'm sorry i cannot respond before but i was quite busy now i would like to post a link to a fullscreen size image , i don't post it as image because it's very large. in the next i'll post more images from several angles. edit: i've attached new hi res images as promised Front image Left side image Right side image enjoy bye... Vincenzo

Hi Stian, very cool car... "Il Tempo Gigante", in italian means "the giant time" fine GI render effect, how do you obtain it? a light dome? bye... Vincenzo

hi all, a lighting test enjoy her bye... Vincenzo

Thanks to everybody for all the kind comments and suggestion, about the splineage, i always try to use the fewer number of spline needed, as per Hash philosophy (or cause my lazyness). if the geometry seems to be not sufficent, before to stitch more splines, i try to tweak the bias (alfa/gamma/magnitude in/out) and almost always i reach the result i want. the breast is a clear example of use of bias, and look at the double bend on the left knee. i know, it's a little bit annoyng to tweak the bias in the other half of the model, when you have already Copy/Flip/Attached it, it would be fine to have a command: mirror all the bias settings! don't you Martin? (this purpose it's a little interested) about the song, i would make her to sing this SONG, don't you? with the voice of the beautiful Diane Krall, of course! (she's my muse ) bye... Vincenzo

hi Charlie, don't make you keep an hearthbrake... and think about the fact that she'll be the second of a long series , i want to model females, realistic, semirealistic, cartoon but females, beautiful females, attractive females, pin-ups females, women, girls, and... i'm in love with females and the whole feminine universe. about the model, i have always problem with hairs, but the breast area?... what about the breast area? i have tweaked a lot to obtain that delicate effect of pushin up, not exaggerated but still visible OK let me know when your chimney will be prompted, i'll send this Santa to you the subtitle i gave to this Santa Contest was: THE GIFT IT'S ME! enjoy her! Happy new year to everyone... Vincenzo

Yes, i have to say i was inspired by Jessica Rabbit (just a little) the character is tipically half cartoon, as you can see. for the animated piece it will need more time, i have another wip i'm workin' on for animation (in my signature: Jazz Singer), this character is not yet rigged for animation but for a static pose only. about the size of the images, i'm sorry, i've got a 24" monitor and forgot to consider other people may not have such size display, sorry. in the next i'll try to post more little images bye... Vincenzo

Hi all, i would like to submit to your attention a model i'm workin' on since few weeks for an italian contest. unfortunately i was late for the Christmas Hash contest it will be finished in a few days and i'll pass it in the showcase area. if you wanna see more work in progress images go to ITALIAN CONTEST the theme of the contest is: how do you imagine your Santa Claus. let me know if you have any suggestion or critic, thanks concept some wireframe and some preliminar render bye... Vincenzo

Hi all, and thanks for the suggestion, i thought to place two seam on the dress that start from the tip of the wings and end on the begin of splits. Charlie: your idea of the strap that fall intrigues me very much, it may be, it may be... and do you have a Maserati? mhh... fine car. i like so much naked neck and shoulder area and i want them to be focused on in the video bye... Vincenzo
