Description Well, I'm not sure how everyone else is going to feel about this one, but it is going to be one of my personal favorites.

Ok, now that I've got my obligatory 3D chest, err.. "chess" piece render out of the way, I can move onto other things.

I think it's very beautiful. Gotta hand it to you, you do such a big part all by yourself, it's really great very cool texturing and character design.

This one is great. I'd love to see the whole chess set. I especially like how her suit texture matches the texture of the background pieces.

it is my hope that I one day reach your level of 3d brilliance. *nods* (assuming you do all your own modelling)

Take it with a grain of salt.

I don't do all my all modeling. Most of the models are pre-made and rigged for posing. It is a matter of combining them into interesting scenes. I, typically, just do my own modelling when I can't find something in my library.
However, I do some modeling and I do a heavy, heavy, amount of custom material creation, texturing, posing, morphing, camera setup, character design, scene setup, and lighting.
(for some reason, all that extra stuff means nothing to the 3D purests out there... go figure....)

texturing...one of the biggest things I can't get. character design means nothing to some people? those people need some lessons in actual 3d creation...if you don't have a character design, what are you going to model?

Great picture, but she looks too happy. I always thought black knights would be sinister and look miserable and dare to make you feel the same.

Pretty much charming and very good (erm... evil actually) looking - are you going to do more?

I hadn't thought about doing more. Although I have gotten that question from others. Perhaps the bishop.....

Hey my chess board looks like that just not with such a good polished reflection, and definitely not with such a cool looking black knight. She looks like shes about to kill the opponent. I like the skulls and the hilts of the blades.

Wow, beautiful knight!! I love the angle and perspective of this piccie! The designs and colour scheme are also most awesome!!
^___^ The texture on her clothing are also really cool.

She looks like she could kick the Queen's ass any day. Love those textures on her outfit. Hey, weren't you gonna send me those?? The wood looks great too. Hey, I see a rook in the wood!

I need to clean them up a bit. But if you would like them, sure.

Why yes! There is a rook in the background!

ken1171 [2006-08-31 01:24:47 +0000 UTC]

I was wondering where did that outfit come from, and if this model is really AnimeDoll or Madoka (people are not making much new outfits for AD nowadays)? That flowing hair looks really good, and makes me wonder if it's entirely 3D or postwork? Amazing how good AD (Madoka?) looks good here, good job! ^^

Lokai2000 In reply to ken1171 [2006-08-31 01:39:02 +0000 UTC]

Sorry, she's a V2/AnimeDoll hybrid.
The V2 body has had the Sarah Spriteling deformers applied to her.

I've gotten addicted to the hair. It is the A3 Mitsu hair from DAZ. I shouldn't use is so heavily, but it's just soooo anime...

ken1171 In reply to Lokai2000 [2006-08-31 04:12:11 +0000 UTC]

I will have to take a look on that hair, or perhaps create better morphs for the ones I already have. ^^
Where did this V2/AD hybrid figure came from? That's one I haven't heard of before.

I like it a lot. Though I would have had the chess piece looking up into the camera. I like the angle you set

I tried that, but it made the pose look artificial.

AreeElf In reply to Lokai2000 [2006-08-30 22:37:15 +0000 UTC]

On second look it does give the Black knight a kind of distance and separation from the viewer in that you can't see her eyes. I love all the textures and reflections
