Description ** Please do not copy, alter or use my work without my concent! **

-----------------------

Woot? It actually looks like a drawing! Does it mean I can draw...?

Just for the fun, I tested my Sora modell with the shader called "Ink'n' paint" in 3dsmax. Some minor photoshop work had to be done to smooth out the glitches with the toon shader. Combining this shader, with a ambient/reflective/occlusion shader, the result became unexpectedly nice!

This is just a test render I did, so i didnt look at the colors so much. Im aware his hair should be less red, and his shoulderpads more blue/grey.
Anyways I hope you enjoyed this shading as much as I do!

wow really nice ( does max have like an "anti-alias" option? the very edges of the model look a tad rough)

Yes it does. However.. I dont know how much that is going to be in help in this kind in this shader (its not a really good toonshader)... It looked a lot more jagged and messy before the photoshop cleanup

Ive barly touched zbrush or any other sculpting programs. There are a lot of neat stuff you can probably make with it... however I dont see the need of learning this yet

i really want zbrush... and maya for that matter.... i have absolutely no money....and because i'd want to bublish my stuff and can't just "find" them...

mogcaiz In reply to Legends-of-terraII [2007-11-10 02:04:04 +0000 UTC]

Yes yes.. they are popular^^ However I see why, so there is nothing to make a fuss about there ^^
I want to remake all of them, as a tribute to the good times I had with those games ^^

Nah.. Blender is sure a good program to be free, but using that now would probably be a step back for me.

Ohhh I felt sure I had commented this one... maybe I was in a rush and had no time?

Anyway it really does look like its a drawing! Hehee.
Did it take a long time because of Soras insanely detailed clothing?

BlueFireThade In reply to mogcaiz [2007-10-03 18:53:34 +0000 UTC]

From what I have seen, you have done WAY better than I could ever do. The animation would look nice, but don't over due yourself, last thing you need is to loose your sanity...though it might be interesting...

Ha, I doubt it, I'm more of a procrastinator than anyone. I'm still putting off an assignment in media, it was due monday We get the chance to turn it in this monday, so I'll get to it that morning. Besides I don't have the patience for 3-D animation. 2-D, maybe, 3-D, I'll try, Procratinate, and probably fail

i just kinda gave up on it... >.< i dunno.... nurbs kinda failed... :s his skeleton was really strange i d post the animation up for people to laugh at if i knew how to post avi s :s i dont think you can on deviant tho :s it was such a strange animation... he kinda moved a foot really awkwardly and then shook hands with someone random :s O_O ... i need to have another go at some point >.< trouble is i dont think my laptop is cut out for maya... :s eep... and i thought i wouldnt have to model this year... and i do O-o guh... >.< at least i only have to do low poly models... they re easier... ish...

yours looks cooler than mine XD i didnt have good reference images for mine >.< i did however model a low poly desk as an art excersise in class recently from an image which looks kinda cool :3 i should post up a render or something for a comparison i m quite proud of it and it s under the tri limit by miles... i have to say i prefer modelling objects to people :s i m not good at organic models :s
