Nunsofamerica Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 I am going to be starting to model some things to use in a Super Mario Film. if anyone wants to join in, just tell me. I would love some extra help. The only thing I really have trouble with are characters thats a bad thing to be bad at So. I will be posting what I make here over the course of the next few months I think. Quote
dude Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 Hey NoA, Just a question but, dont you have like five difrent projects started? and you havent even finished any of them. And you are volunteering to work on other projects, And you wanted to borow some models to start an entirely new movie. Making a movie is hard. You need actors for the characters. you need to be a good animator. you have to be a good modler. you have to build sets, and light the sets. then you have to find the time to render the "movie". Its really pretty hard, at least it is if you are doing it on your own. Also, not that many people can help out on a open project. I mean no one has seen you come throuh with your other projects. Maybe you should set one smaller goal, and get there first. Before you go and try to make a billion movies. cool. thanks. -dude Quote
Nunsofamerica Posted January 11, 2007 Author Posted January 11, 2007 I know what you mean. I am seeing what I can do. I tryed starting projects when I was not experienced barely at all at this, so now I want to buckle down. right now, I am learning the modeling aspect. so yeah. I dont think this will become a movie just yet, but, in the future it will. Quote
Nunsofamerica Posted January 11, 2007 Author Posted January 11, 2007 ok, just starting simple Shyguy Stilts mini rotoscope: First Try: Close up of Foot: So yeah, modeled this quick will try something harder tommarrow Quote
killi Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 If it's only practice you want modelling copyrighted charaters is cool. But otherwise it always seems pretty pointless to me. Best come up with one of your own. Quote
Nunsofamerica Posted January 11, 2007 Author Posted January 11, 2007 yep, If it would be for a movie, it would only be for my own use. Plus, I am not good enough for the public stuff. So yep Quote
Nunsofamerica Posted January 11, 2007 Author Posted January 11, 2007 So yes, it is practice. I hope others could join in too though. that would be neat Quote
Nunsofamerica Posted January 11, 2007 Author Posted January 11, 2007 What should I model next?:) Quote
d34th5t4r Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 i would love to help model...i have been looking for a new project. Quote
Nunsofamerica Posted January 11, 2007 Author Posted January 11, 2007 great, I sent you a personal message. be sure to post your model pictures here Quote
the_black_mage Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 try actually modeling the shy guy that goes on the stilts Quote
Nunsofamerica Posted January 11, 2007 Author Posted January 11, 2007 OH, I will try, but its not going to be easy. I am not a great character modeler. Quote
the_black_mage Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 the shy guy should be easy, just remember modeling is about taking as many shortcuts as you can and have your model and/or render still looking great. Quote
Nunsofamerica Posted January 11, 2007 Author Posted January 11, 2007 whats a shortcut i can use though Quote
the_black_mage Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 well the shy guys mask, it doesn't need to be connected to the face, nor do the feet. even the band doesn't need to be connected to the mask.but there are no short cuts possible on the body. try drawing a side and front view of the shy guy Quote
Nunsofamerica Posted January 11, 2007 Author Posted January 11, 2007 i wil give it a try, thanks Quote
Nunsofamerica Posted January 11, 2007 Author Posted January 11, 2007 how can you apply a decal without the wite stuff around it. Quote
thejobe Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 hey nuns just let me tell you your doing a great job and your going on the same path i did about 5 years ago i was always starting projects and never finishing them (i got about 35 im working if i still contribute to them still lol) what you should do is start one project and stick to it you say you have trouble modeling chracters well so do (and still do to some extendnt) start small like that leg you were doing try building off of that my first chracter was a ball with 2 eyes and sticks for legs but he was still a chracter so what im saying is start small and build on it hope this helps later jobe Quote
Nunsofamerica Posted January 11, 2007 Author Posted January 11, 2007 thanks The Jobe. Dude said the same thing. my response was that I started those other projects when I did not have any experience. I am ready to stick to one Quote
Nunsofamerica Posted January 11, 2007 Author Posted January 11, 2007 Here is a start. I need to change the texture on his mask, but yeah Shy Guy part 1 1. Change texture of mask 2. Do you like the felt and buckles? 3. Design alright? Quote
Nunsofamerica Posted January 12, 2007 Author Posted January 12, 2007 any comments on the shy guy? Quote
Nunsofamerica Posted January 12, 2007 Author Posted January 12, 2007 a test on stilts they need to be higher Quote
case Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 Dude no no no finish th efive then this! Trust ME! CONNOR CASE Quote
the_black_mage Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 dude that shy guys is actualy way off, don't use the gba same a rotospope. here, these are some expamples of what i'm talking about. just to let you know your render should be more cartoony than realistic, it looked like you were doing for a metal look or some thing. need any help? Quote
d34th5t4r Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 Do you have better pics for reference? If you have something useable i can start on the "shy guy". Quote
Nunsofamerica Posted January 12, 2007 Author Posted January 12, 2007 Whats the efive? do you mean simulation12? he is done, rigged and ready Quote
Nunsofamerica Posted January 12, 2007 Author Posted January 12, 2007 mage, I was trying to go more realistic, but I guess we will go cartoony. Do you want to model him? Quote
Nunsofamerica Posted January 12, 2007 Author Posted January 12, 2007 well, deathstar, (or whatever, with numbers), will be tryin the shyguy. I will try to get something new up here today. I will be working on it. want to talk? I will be on community now too! Quote
Nunsofamerica Posted January 12, 2007 Author Posted January 12, 2007 here is another thing. its what you run through at the end of super mario world roto: now: Quote
Nunsofamerica Posted January 12, 2007 Author Posted January 12, 2007 hammer bros hammer. this was inspired by 2 differnt games so it looks to my own style in a way Quote
Nunsofamerica Posted January 12, 2007 Author Posted January 12, 2007 here is just the 3 things so far. tell me what you think Quote
Nunsofamerica Posted January 12, 2007 Author Posted January 12, 2007 also, if anyone wants to help, just send me a personal message, or just post here Quote
the_black_mage Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 the pole in the middle should be bigger. and i under stand you wanted realism, but metallic isn't the way to go, a shyguy isn't a character you can make realistic easily. what you need to do to get it real looking is to learn lighting(and not the setup thats already there), you can keep the model smooth and cartoony looking but it can be presented to work in a real world back ground. here are some links, study them a bit. http://www.ypoart.com/tutorials/skylights-intro.htm http://newtek.com/products/lightwave/tutor...-002/index.html http://www.ypoart.com/tutorials/Photon-Mapping.htm http://www.andrew-whitehurst.net/3point.html http://www.andrew-whitehurst.net/fx_light.html i hope these help, but befor you start on testing lighting finish the shy guy the right way first....ok? Quote
the_black_mage Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 also i have some plugins i can link too http://www.darksim.com/html/simbiontam.html http://www.kci-group.com/z/plugins.htm http://www.kci-group.com/z/index.htm Quote
the_black_mage Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 one ore thing too, i thought of a way to make the shyguys more realistic. i rememberd that in the new super smash bros game coming out marios clothe are more textured than in past games his overalls actualy looked like jeans more than rubber. what you need to do is make the shyguys cloaks look like a fabric using a texture, and have there mask look more plastic and the belt look like a real belt. and the buckle look metallic(thats the only thing that should look metallic). Quote
Nunsofamerica Posted January 13, 2007 Author Posted January 13, 2007 I am not doing the shyguy any more. Its in the hands of deathstar. so I think he is making it cartoony. thanks though Quote
Nunsofamerica Posted January 13, 2007 Author Posted January 13, 2007 the pole in the middle should be bigger. Thanks. I will fix that up. Quote
case Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 Hard to argue with that one man good job! Looks taller in the game though! Quote
Nunsofamerica Posted January 13, 2007 Author Posted January 13, 2007 yep, its cool. Mage is working on a set right now Quote
Nunsofamerica Posted January 13, 2007 Author Posted January 13, 2007 i made a coin too. I will be able to post it tommarrow. my sister kicked me off the other computer with the file so she could load stuff onto her I-pod Quote
case Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 tee i have my own computer lap top but not everyone is as lucky as me Quote
Nunsofamerica Posted January 13, 2007 Author Posted January 13, 2007 nice, lol. I Wish I did. but that is too expensive for me Quote
