Hi guys, Here is an update on the final 2 scenes of my short..... The final scene ( the buttom pic ) is an underwater graveyard I have never saw one so I had to be creative when sketching it.... I am happy with how it turned out..... I am in process of tweaking scene 1 and 2; I will update those in a few days.... As of 2005 I will be moving heavy into the animation stage so I will be posting animatics for all 4 scenes..... Tell me what feeling u get from the mood.... thanks.

Good job on the fish.... what I do when comes to inside of the mouth is I make the inside BLACK (in colour) this way the inside of the mouth don't get lit like the way yours is.....

Great job on the fish.... nice simple spline cage and very well done texturing....

Bits - this looks awsome sir...... This scene has come a long way.... 6 hrs rendering time eh!! seems worth it to me.... I look forward to more...... keep up the good work...

Really nice model.... he has great personality.... can we see a wireframe? keep up the good work.....

Congrats!!!! def something to be proud of..... Keep up the good work.....

Guys thanks for the feedback it's really helpfull........ Bill - I will add the tilted CAM angle....... mike - I was considering fog but like you said when I add the lazers and smoke etc there will be no need for it...... Julian - they were intended to be moons but then I got carried away.. I wanted an abstract approach to the scene..... But I will see what I can do with them..... thanks for your time...

Hi guys, I still was not happy with the other renders I made; it just did not have the feeling and appearence I wanted..... So I re-worked the scene and now I have a render am pleased with..... It has the mood and look I want..... here is an update......... let me know what you think...

You have a good foundation to build on here... surggestions: rotate his torso as he walks, also show some (mass) weight transfer from one leg to another.... Also add the motion of his head moving back and fort..... here is something that may help you..... http://www.biomotionlab.ca/Demos/BMLwalker.html

starving4rtist - cool character; I just think his body needs some personality... Like his head, neck arms and legs...... Cuz he looks a bit out of proportion..... I look forward to more updates.....

Thanks alot guys for your helpful and encouraging comments....... **David - I wanted my scene to have this dreamy effect so I had to tweak the ligthing alot took me a few days before I was happy with it...... it's a combination of your light colours and using the "BLOOM" post effect in A:M..... I played and tweaked those 2 and I got the dreamy appearance; just what I wanted.. **<PF>Mark - yeah I had problems transfering my models from one version to another ( v8 to v10 )... it caused rendering issues among other things, had to re-model a few models cuz they got messed up.... But now all is well I use V11t and I have no problems... my fish project has really come a long way, it has evolved as time went on thanks to the awesome comments and surggestions on this community..... I could not get this far without the hash community help.... it's a long process but it's fun and rewarding......You just need to stay focus and be as creative as you can..... I wish you good luck in your short......

dborruso thanks alot sir...... I am happy to say that the animatic for part 1 of my animated film is complete... But am on a 56k connection right now so when I get my broadband I will upload it.... Am going to keep the story info etc under cover as I go along now, cuz I don't want to give away much about the story..... here are some more fishes am playing with..... an addition to the cast!!!

Here is another.......

Godfrey - I did have a comparison shot but I seem to have lost it my fatal HD crash back then; if I do find a backup pic I will post it..... here is an exterior shot...... some of the first environment concepts I did.....

WOW!! thanks alot for the fedback guys..... Godfrey - That shot is from a custom engine one of our programmers created.... but we were working mostly with the quake engine, testing animation and effects..... am excited to re-start this project now that I know more about A:M we will be able to get a half decent game....

This was the first IN_GAME shot of the sample mods in action..... I was very surprise of the results we got, since I was new to A:M...... I did this after 3 weeks of buying A:M...... I am getting back into gaming now..... chances of this project being worked on again looks good, we are considering it...... comments/thoughts are welcome.....

Here is one of the mods textured.... which was the first texturing work done...

Hi guys - A few yrs ago me and a team was working on a video game for our portfolio.. The game is a first person shooter which did not get of the ground due to some problems with export between different programs amoung other things. But we were able to get some of the models into the engine. I was responsible for the environment and the villans (bad guys) also for texturing the entire game..... I was going through my old stuff and I found some of the old games mods that I modeled in A:M back in 2001.....I thought I would share them with you..... this shot is a basic model render of the mods, the very first concept of the mods.. From paper to 3D...

AProd - awsome work sir.... this reminds me of some work I also did for a documentry called "Timeless Places" I belive it's only aired in Canada... I did the same type of 3D relief maps, logo animations and also did all the graphics.... very inspiring thanks for sharing....

Thanks alot guys for your feedback..... I found that the other scene did not give me the look and feel I wanted.... I wanted more of a wasteland/ rocky/dusty type appearence.. SO am just doing some test renders to see what I come up with..... what you think?

Hi guys, This scene was intended for the fantasy image contest but I had alot going on and could not complete it........ I will still finish it as intended; I thought I would share what I have so far...... Still alot more to add..... the idea is to have ships attack the serpent........ so I will add explosions and lasers, crashed ships etc ... thanks for viewing.......

hehe thanks for the feedback guys........it was so much fun modeling this guy.... I added some spots something I ment to do before I posted it and forgot..... peace....

Hi hashers - This character was created for fun.......Over at #hash3d on irc we have alot of fun and we learn alot....I always bug Parlo aka (Sam Buntrock) about being a pimp since he's so good with the ladies ... So I created this fish just to tease him.... Am very happy with the results... the whole pimp thing is just a joke...... parlo is not a pimp "DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR" lolz..... hope you get a chuckle... modeled / rendered in A:M V11p......

John - just yesterday I was planning on modeling a ship for a fantasy scene am working on, and I was wondering how you modeled urs...... then BOOM!! you created a tut.... life is good thanks alot sir......... I just LLOOVVEE this aircraft.......

cool fish..... I like the look of his eyes.... I look forward to when you texture him...
