SpaceToast Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I've set myself a challenge tonight. I'd like to see if I can go from sketch to usable character in two hours. The character is a Maxwell -- a sort of demon, or imp, based roughly on child proportions. At the end of two hours, I'd like to have: Produced front and side sketches Scanned them as rotoscopes Modelled the character Added the 2001 Rig Textured vinyl-like wrinkles where the skin bends in certain places This won't be a full-screen character, and a lot of fine detail would be eaten up by the noise I'll have to add to the final layout. (I'll ultimately be building a scene around a noisy, low-light photoshoot.) I'll check in tonight at 10:00, and then -- hopefully -- at midnight.

pixelplucker Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I think Polyloop still holds speed modeling contests. Those started back in the old Amapi days. Pretty amazing stuff but I think in AM it wouldn't be so easy. If you can do it, toss some images over there. I sometimes post some of my AM images there.

tbenefi33 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Can't wait to see it Wish I can model that fast it's taken me all most a month to do the bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkwing Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 so, 28 minutes into this, how are you feeling about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceToast Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 Two hours are up! Did I make it? Nope, not even close. Not bad for two hours, but the head and hands will take at least another hour of modelling. The fiddly bits are a mess of bad normals, and A:M absolutely refuses, no matter what I promise, to believe that there's a valid 5-point patch behind the right shoulder (though it's fine with the duplicate on the left). This little Maxwell will have to wait to be finished another day. Still, a good challenge for a chronic perfectionist like me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted November 17, 2009 Hash Fellow Share Posted November 17, 2009 I'm sure the six-foot penis was a time-consuming adornment. But for that you would have made it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
