ChrisThom Posted April 6, 2005 Posted April 6, 2005 In light of my coming in 4th for this month's image contest here is the link to a full body turn that I did a couple of weeks ago to see how the model was coming. On this version there was still some texturing to do but you can see a lot of the details. R2 Body Turn (2mb) Here's an early animation I did featuring 2-3-2 conversion. I know the movemtn is jerky bit I just wanted to see how things looked at the time. R2 2-3-2(2mb) Feel free to leave your C&Cs. Quote
JTalbotski Posted April 6, 2005 Posted April 6, 2005 Hey, I think I like the silent R2 better! Just kidding! That's a great model, Chris. Congratulations! Jim Quote
Godfrey Posted April 6, 2005 Posted April 6, 2005 Very nicely done! I especially like the grunge. Do his little control arms pop out? Quote
ChrisThom Posted April 6, 2005 Author Posted April 6, 2005 Very nicely done! I especially like the grunge. Do his little control arms pop out? On the final version I modeled the utility arms but I haven't made them pop out yet. On this version they're still a decal. Quote
mediaho Posted April 6, 2005 Posted April 6, 2005 Awesome model. I love that overgrown scrap pile. Quote
ChrisThom Posted April 6, 2005 Author Posted April 6, 2005 Here are a couple more renders. Wire Turn (3mb) Shade/Wire Turn (3mb) Quote
ChrisThom Posted April 6, 2005 Author Posted April 6, 2005 Just kidding! That's a great model, Chris. Congratulations! Jim, coming from you, this is a very high compliment. Thank you very much. Quote
agep Posted April 6, 2005 Posted April 6, 2005 You deserved your place in the image contest, congratulations You have made a awesome model. Will it be used in some short or did you make it just for fun? Quote
ChrisThom Posted April 6, 2005 Author Posted April 6, 2005 Just for fun. It was more of a personal challenge since it was my first serious model. Quote
ZachBG Posted April 6, 2005 Posted April 6, 2005 My only crit (and maybe you've already done this in the final model) is that the dome seems to be a single surface, based on the specular highlight. I would suggest adding a specularity map to set off the blue rectangles, since they are separate in the real R2. But that's one hell of a model, nonetheless. Good job! Quote
Biotron2000 Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 Well done, Chris! Congratulations on your placing. Artoo looks fantastic. Looking at the turnaround, there seems to be more specularity on the blue rectangles on the head already; could you fill us in on the texturing process you used? Quote
zandoriastudios Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 very nice model! Makes me all jazzed up to see the next movie! Quote
Mr. Jaqe Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 very nice model! Makes me all jazzed up to see the next movie! Did you HAVE to mention that? Now I'll stay up all night waiting for the damn movie that ain't put on screen for another month ++. Quote
ChrisThom Posted April 9, 2005 Author Posted April 9, 2005 Now I'll stay up all night waiting for the damn movie that ain't put on screen for another month ++. I saw on the news the other day that there are people already camping out in line for it in Hollywood. I can it would suck to be inJapan for this since it doesn't get released there until July 9th!!

Dhar Posted April 10, 2005 Posted April 10, 2005 Awsome piece of work. This was my first choice that I voted for. Looking at the wireframe, what is that round object inside R2 that you don't see in the rendered version? Was the wireframe done as a blueprint? Quote
ChrisThom Posted April 10, 2005 Author Posted April 10, 2005 I think that's part of the skylight rig. Quote
Dhar Posted April 10, 2005 Posted April 10, 2005 I think that's part of the skylight rig. A skylight rig inside R2 that moves with him? What's it do? Quote
ChrisThom Posted April 10, 2005 Author Posted April 10, 2005 No, no, no. That's the rig that lit the scene, that's all. Quote
ChrisThom Posted April 12, 2005 Author Posted April 12, 2005 wow, this is what i call solid work. Thx Quote
Zaryin Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 Beautifully, beautifully modeled. Well done. Quote
