zandoriastudios Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I did a texturing/UV demo for this years Siggraph tapes, using Ken Heslip's "hippogyraf" model from T.W.O. I used a combination of 3DPainter and Photoshop. Here is how the textures look so far--(I still have to paint a hair map for a bit of fur and the mane...)

KenH Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Wow. Hippogyraf never looked so hip! I'll have to do his facial poses soon. I'll wait till his textures are safely on the svn first though.

mtpeak2 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Fantastic job Will, unbelievable. Ken, I don't think the hippogyraf has a rig yet. David, does it have a rig? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamikaze Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 So nice !!! I'll have to admit that professional texturing like this makes a great model stand up and hit you upside the head and take notice................ Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zandoriastudios Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 this model doesn't have a rig, I couldn't find on SVN so I downloaded from Kens modeling topic. I will send the final version to the rigger to upload. thanks for the compliments, I hope everyone enjoys the demo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenH Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Gulp. I think David said he was rigging him already. I just had a thought.....it'd be cool if the creases on his neck got deeper as his neck bends down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gschumsky Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Amazing Will! I too will have to get the Siggraph videos (there's probably a lot of great tutes on it that are well worth the coinage). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gschumsky Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Wow. Hippogyraf never looked so hip! I'll have to do his facial poses soon. I'll wait till his textures are safely on the svn first though. Supposedly I'm the final pick for his voice, so as a suggestion, the voice I've come up with for HG is kind of dopey with a nice lisp ("thay" instead of say). I'll be recording the latest scratch track (I say this because it won't be in a studio yet) tonight, and can post it to my site.

itsjustme Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 well, then I won't be the only person to have to redo my work Not a problem, it has been pushed to the side for several months while I did things that were more pressing at the time. I'll just transfer what I have over. The one that I thought was final had wings...are we going with wings or without? I'll PM you Will. Once again, a fantastic job!

gschumsky Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 I think the wings add a bit more to the "fantasy/mysterious creature" theme, plus a bit of comedy (since they're kinda small for such a large beast). Have you considered possibly adding buck teeth as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zandoriastudios Posted August 13, 2006 Author Share Posted August 13, 2006 I recorded about 2 hrs of video for Steve of prepping the model (making groups, manual flattening and stamping, etc.). I showed some painting stuff in the demo, using 3DPainter and Photoshop, but after I sent the video off I started painting from scratch. I did this Friday night after Stargate Atlantis (11:00?) until about 2:30 in the morning. then I posted a render and went to bed about 3:00. So about 4 hours of painting and 2 hours of UV setup.

3DArtZ Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Well certainly impressive stuff! I might say that this is the most impressive decal job I've seen you post..... Is there anyway to make the area around the lips, nostrils and eyes look wet and maybe slobbery(what?). Mike Fitz www.3dartz.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted August 14, 2006 Admin Share Posted August 14, 2006 Added Will's latest to the TWO Wiki. The Hippogyraf page had somehow been orphaned so I moved the data from the old hippograf page to the new. Link: TWO Wiki: Hippogyraf Bio Click on the Hippogyraf image in the Wiki to get back here.

KenH Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 I think that link needs a password Rodney. There's lots of images there now. Maybe an "Old Images" link is needed soon. Also, I wish images/text could be centered. Back to Hyppogyraf.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted August 15, 2006 Admin Share Posted August 15, 2006 Whoops. You are right Ken. Easy to forget you aren't in the published version. Link fixed. I have a feeling the wiki might incorporate a Gallery one of these days but I don't know. Noel is the Emporer of the Wikis. He may know.

Admin Rodney Posted August 17, 2006 Admin Share Posted August 17, 2006 The texturing blends perfectly with some serious modeling. Anyone else think how great it'll look when Hippogyraf in animated?

luckbat Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 3DPainter has been renamed "Pixosaur." It has a site, but there won't be much information until next week: http://www.3dpainter.com/ It's basically a 3rd-party tool that lets you paint directly onto A:M models, a la ZBrush.
