patrick_j_clarke Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Hey everyone. A lot of you have been watching this in the WIP section, but now it's done!!! GAIL is a Spume-bot (sex android) that gains conciousness and uses her "talents" as a spy in the "Jed Lightsear" series that is part of the EVENT HORIZON comic book from MAMTOR press. EVENT HORIZON is a new Heavy Metal type comic that features all sorts of great comic tales. Here is my rendition of GAIL for a pin-up for issue #2 of the series. The model is based on the Lambrina model from the A:M CD (heavily modified) and uses photoreal textures for her skin. It was created in v11.1 on my Powerbook and my crappy PIII PC laptop and RADIOSITY rendered in 50 hours at a resolution of 2400 X 3600 on a P4 @ 1.8GHz. Comments and crits welcome! GAIL: The City and here's some close-ups: - pjc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 for me, the whole image is ruined by those coax connectors. unless she was fabbed in the 80's, she needs firewire or better! ' ' ) -jon great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejobe Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 firewire is so 2004 firewire 2 is the way to go! lol but anyways really nice job on the wires looks more robotic than human now really cool amazing how she started off one way and you modifed her into something else its awsome!!! jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jaqe Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I really like those wires, they give her a "Medusa-look", as if she could connect herself to other robots/computers/androids and make them work for her. I like it, I really do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruscular Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 At first I thought that cables were connected to the black strip around her boobs, thought maybe they were for prevention of fog buildup. Like they have in the back of the rear windows of a car, those heated window defogger. Maybe female robots need warm boobies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixie Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 Stunning work Patrick, youv got Radiosity down huh! Think its on my to do list. So how do you go about getting 'photorealistic textures' Regards - Nixie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrick_j_clarke Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 Thanks for the comments everyone! I wanted the cables to be kind of retro. I'm a big fan of William Gibson (Neuromancer) and I love that he uses retro things in his futuristic worlds. The face was influenced by Pris from Blade Runner (another favorite of mine, especially the Philip K. Dick book) ...all in all it was a fun project. Not my usual subject matter, but it was still a blast. I will give some details (patch count, etc.) in the morning. - pjc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jandals Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Awesome! Her right hand it beautiful and I love the highlight on the back of her left knee! I wish I knew how to light a model that well (I'll have to re-read some of your other WIP threads). Great model, great pose, great work!

Paul Forwood Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Great model and textures! The thing that bothers me is the background. She appears to be standing on the same ground level as the buildings yet the camera is higher than some of those high rise structures. Either they are very small sky scrapers or she is one huge babe.

patrick_j_clarke Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 Great model and textures! The thing that bothers me is the background. She appears to be standing on the same ground level as the buildings yet the camera is higher than some of those high rise structures. Either they are very small sky scrapers or she is one huge babe. The buildings are small. What I really wanted was some geometric shapes behind her, and then I remembered that scene from the Robin Williams movie "Toys" with the small city while they were fighting, and thought that it would be interesting to set something up like that for GAIL. Just got an email from the EIC of the book. He loves it, and wants to do an image where we turn this image into some sort of magazine ad for the GAIL series android! So, I guess I'm not quite done!!! - pjc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrick_j_clarke Posted August 13, 2005 Author Share Posted August 13, 2005 wow. great detailed model! Thanks! Coming from you guys that's quite a compliment! I really admire Soulcage's work! DarkLimit: The zipper was one of those things that just "happened" and got more and more detail as I went along. I love google and the internet...I now know more about zippers than I ever wanted.

oakchas Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Well, She's a great model... It's just too bad I couldn't get her delivered to me in time... lost the contract, shucks.... I tried substituting inflatable love dolls but the guys in the pinstripe suits booted me and the dolls out on our collective keesters... and threatened to get out the "violins" if we ever showed up at the strip club again... ah well, It's so hard to get good talent nowadays... great job modleing Patrick... She's so...ah... real... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrick_j_clarke Posted January 29, 2006 Author Share Posted January 29, 2006 No, this was done in v11 with Radiosity. It would be interesting to see what kind of speed increase there would be (if any) with AO. - pjc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Rodney Posted March 29, 2006 Admin Share Posted March 29, 2006 ...as they say... another fine feather in your cap. Congratulations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noah brewer Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Wow, that looks very realistic! The only thing I would say if you do another one is that the pupils get a bit lost next to the dark eye shadow. Anyway, Congratulations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick_j_clarke Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 Noah, I understand what you're saying. I had a heck of a time getting any pupils in there at all. The creator of Gail wanted pure white eyes. I wanted pupils to draw the user in and make a connection...we compromised. - pjc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Rodney Posted May 3, 2006 Admin Share Posted May 3, 2006 but something i noticed.. theres a slit in her leg. is that saposed to be there (answering for Patrick here) Yup. If you read through the entire thread the seam in her leg is explained. She ain't exactly human. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick_j_clarke Posted May 3, 2006 Author Share Posted May 3, 2006 Yeah, what Rodney said! Imagine the replies I got when I posted this on CGTalk, they weren't as "nice" about the seams...even after I explained to them they were put there on purpose. I like this board - pjc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
