Xtaz Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 Im starting a new short project called " The Biker ". the set will be the city that i would use in the duel short ( in standby for while ) Im using an old draw to rotoscope the first character ( biker )... I hope to model better than i draw Quote
Korken Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 Very lazy looking guy! A too short t-shirt, long hair and looking very selfconfident. Keep it up! //Korken Quote
Mr. Jaqe Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 Very... Billy like! I like 'im! He looks very "bikery". Can't wait to see him done Quote
Admin Rodney Posted June 16, 2005 Admin Posted June 16, 2005 Really enjoying your Step-by-Step Xtas! If anything like your past efforts this is going to be great. I can already see how your character would make a great biker. Quote
Xtaz Posted June 16, 2005 Author Posted June 16, 2005 Thank you Korken, Mr. Jage , Mr. Rodney ... your words force me to perfect Update 3 Head Quote
Korken Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 I just love that nose and those cute little boots! Are the leggs going o have Sim Cloth? //Korken Quote
pixelmech Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 X, I love the head! The helmet covering the eyes and the big ol nose, it's perfect. I can't think of what it reminds me of, but I really like it. Keep it up. Quote
3DArtZ Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 A little Beetle Bailey perhaps? I too really like the style so far! Looks like it could be a great character to animate with! Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com Quote
Xtaz Posted June 16, 2005 Author Posted June 16, 2005 Mr. Tom and Mr. Mike ...... thx for your comments ... I have this only model, now that I already know the character's general form, the next step will be to break it in parts: skin, t-shirt, jeans Update 5 breaking Quote
agep Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 Ahhh, cool looking dude Love the proportions of him. And the head! Few splines, yet so much personality. This is one of those models I get thinking "Darn, why didn't I think of that!" Quote
Xtaz Posted June 16, 2005 Author Posted June 16, 2005 Hey Agep .... thanks "Darn, why didn't I think of that!" i think that almost every day when i see the forum !!!! lets go to Update 6 parts Quote
pixelmech Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 Gah, awesome! Yeah Mike - it IS Beetle Bailey I was thinking of! I love the pants and the hair... WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT! Tom Quote
Xtaz Posted June 16, 2005 Author Posted June 16, 2005 Ok.... all parts were modeled ... its time to render them togheter, im thinking in use a clay style.... Update 8 Render whitout color Update 9 Render color First model DONE !!!!! i worked 20 hours in it ... Quote
agep Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 Huh...? How did you make that rough clay'ish surface? Awesome! Quote
amarillospider Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 Wow! Looking great. Those hands are well done, did you just grab them from a previous model? That clay texture is awesome how'd you do it? -Alonso Quote
Paul Forwood Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 Great! Another fanXtaztic character. Is that clay texture done with bump mapping, crumple or some other material mix? This should lead to another interesting animation. Quote
pixelmech Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 Wow, that clay looks great! Care to share the material? X, that is a GREAT model - I can't wait to see him animated Quote
Korken Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 Extremley cool model! You must animate him! //Korken Quote
Xtaz Posted June 16, 2005 Author Posted June 16, 2005 ok A:Mers !!! I havent words to thank you your comments ... About the material... all materials used are basics Simbiont plugin textures ... I love all of them... but i believe the lighting helps in create this atmosphere .. Fanxtaztic !!!!! UUHHUUUU you rock Paul !!!!!!!!! Rig time now .... Thanks again !!!! Quote
gschumsky Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 As great as the shirt is (All your base...funny), I would recommend either Vern's or Patrick's t-shirt designs. Just a thought. Quote
modernhorse Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 Wow ! Just beautiful! True character. Very well done. Doug Quote
Mr. Jaqe Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 DAMN you're fast!! And such great result! Are you going to make a bike for him aswell? Quote
Xtaz Posted June 16, 2005 Author Posted June 16, 2005 I would recommend either Vern's or Patrick's t-shirt designs. nice idea ... ill use them in next renders thx ______________________________________ Wow ! Just beautiful! True character. Very well done. Thx Doug ______________________________________ Are you going to make a bike for him aswell? Are you telling me that a biker needs a bike?

steve392 Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 hehe great looking character ,look forward to seing him animated Quote
Xtaz Posted June 20, 2005 Author Posted June 20, 2005 Well, the Biker´s rig v1.0 is done ... i used TSM2 and smartskin to setup him... if there is time, I will make a new rig using Mike Fitzgerald´s joint setup.. for while i did a small pose to test it UPDATE 10 - THE RIG POSE Quote
mtpeak2 Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 Great look and model Xtaz. Where's his tatoo? Quote
Kamikaze Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 Xtaz, Well another cool thread Ive seem to have missed somewhere.....geee, You character shure has my interest...I feel as if I know him just by his looks. and thanks for showing the process on how you did your modeling..that is very helpful to many of us, I always seem to lean more about the process.. He's a keeper, Michael Quote
Admin Rodney Posted June 21, 2005 Admin Posted June 21, 2005 Now this is why it is called the Work In Progress Forum! Great to see a model and project come together step by step like this. Awesome effort on display here. Bravo Xtas! Quote
Xtaz Posted June 21, 2005 Author Posted June 21, 2005 Where's his tatoo? YES !!! great idea ... tatoo ... he will have one !!!!! thanks Kamikaze and Rodney .... thanks for your comments, now im testing smart skin in animation.. Quote
dimos Posted June 22, 2005 Posted June 22, 2005 X, You're rendering skills are remarkable and the clay material is amazing. Keep it up. Are you going to animate this short film to look like a clay style or are you going to animate in a more CG/Traditional style? I'd prefer you stick to an all clay look for characters, sets and animation but that is only my suggestion. Whatever you do I am sure it'll look just fine! Dimos Quote
dre4mer Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 I really like the character! And especiually the lighting you have on him there. I was wondering if you were using a skylight rig, or if it's just lights in the chor? Thanks and keep up the good work I can't wait to see him animated! Quote
nerrazzi Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 Nice Work! Can't wait to see the chopper you've got planned for 'em, if it's anything like the cars you build-- it'll be insane. Have any pics of the bike? Quote
Xtaz Posted October 27, 2005 Author Posted October 27, 2005 Hi Spliners : I am retaking the pending projects little by little. When I had to travel, the modelling of the motorcycle was in stand by until today I would model the motorcycle for parts, of the same way that I modeled the biker, but the modelling process was quite dynamic, and i finished it in 30 min the result is here ..... critics?? suggestions??? Quote

Do you have a time warp machine? very nice!! David Quote
Dhar Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 Excellent texturing. Motorcycle and biker are stylistically compatable. Headlight and blinkers don't seem 'glassy'. Quote
NancyGormezano Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 that is just positively terrific looking ! Quote
oakchas Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 See, This is why I believe Emilio's (not Xtaz's) first "claymation"ever in the OT forum is really A:M or... this biker dude is really clay... either way... fantastic work... How did you get the "clay" bike to look so shiny? the only give away are those dull lamps! hee hee! Geeze, you really are really really good at this stuff! Quote
Xtaz Posted October 28, 2005 Author Posted October 28, 2005 Hi Slpiners ..... thx for the comments friends Headlight and blinkers don't seem 'glassy'. thx ... they were fixed .... more one shot .... should I use a clay style in the bike ? what you think ???? Quote
Dhar Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 I just love your textures/maps. Try the bike in clay, let's see what happens. Could you share your texturing technique, secret? Please? Quote
Paul Forwood Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 I think that if you try to turn that bike around in a clay environment it is going to be covered in clay! Very low rider! ;-) Personally I like the contrast between the textured and the smooth and shiney but, yeah, why not try the all-over clay look? Great work, Marcos Quote
tanassi Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 WOW, really cool bike... i want one! cool work bye... Vince Quote
Xtaz Posted October 30, 2005 Author Posted October 30, 2005 Ok friends .... I did some tests whit clay and the bike, and here is my attempt critiques ?? sugestions ??? Quote
