Owady: Pchla (flea)

[Claud]

Czesc Boys Im Cloud I work with Tesaurus. Im not polish as im sure u noticed but thought i would enter the contest too.

 

I wanna make a flea (Pchla) Spoko Spoko[rotfl]

Here is the ref image that i will be using (sort of).

 

[giorgione]

O, i`m scared!!

This can be a very nice model:D

good luck! (and sorry for my anglish):D:D:D

 

Giorgione

[Tesaurus]

Ok, Claud is my friend. He will be using Softimage XSI for everything. I though that it will be good if someone from the differnt country will compete with you guys. So, be scared, Claud is comming ! [killer]

[Pablo]

Hi,

tell me Tesaurus, why You and Claud will not make separate models in different threads ?

 

 

 

 

[leander]

I understood that Claud is working alone on this project. He -works with- Tesaurus in other, for example commercial projects...

 

Good luck Claud! [piwo]

[Claud]

When I say I work with Tesaurus I mean that i work in the same company as him.

 

But I will be working alone on this Flea Project.

 

I wish I could write in Polish but unfortunately i only know a few words (like 4 words mabye [mruga])

 

Anyway all the best to all of you.

[Tomasz Kucharz]

Excellent choice, interesting I am how final effect will look. I would like to see first update soon. Time flys - show something. Do you want to put a picture as a background or you will model piece of an animal she is going to bite ? .

I will be more often here.

 

 

Wybór świetny, ciekawy jestem jak będzie wyglądał efekt końcowy. Szkoda, że nie ma upate. Czas ucieka - pokaż coś wiecej. Pchła będzie coś gryzła (jakiegoś zwierzaka) czy dodasz tło ze zdjęcia. Chyba będę tu częściej zaglądał

 

Pozdrawiam

I Greet

 

[Claud]

Ok i have started to model the body.

here is the link.

 

 

Not much to look at just yet.

 

As for final render ...well Im not quite sure yet.[hmmm].

 

chat soon

 

 

[adek]

Hi!

 

We are very happy you had join us! :)

 

I\'ve got hope you will have a good fun and you will show us something interesting :) Tesaurus told me you are very good :) ...

[RK]

Hey, I can recognize this one ! Claud, if I\'ll ever see Your dirty hairy hands close to my flea circus again, You will regret it !

 

Good to see You in Poland, mate :)

[Claud]

HA HA! Thankyou for welcoming me all of you.

[piwo]

 

i will post next WIP tomorrow...

Czesc Wszystkim.

[Gotham]

Hohoho... Welcome onboard :>.

 

Hope to see work as good as Tesaurus lost time.

[adamkos]

i do not know if you saw it, but the best flea i\'ve ever seen was in the movie\"The City of Lost Children\". It was made in softimage, but not xsi - just 3d. anyway if you will make it simillar way, you\'ll win this challenge for sure :)

[Tesaurus]

Adamkos:

 

I\'ve seen that flea. It\'s very good, but as you can see on the ref picture but not in the movie, the flea is a bit translucent or transparent. I think, claud\'s flea will be different to that one from the movie.

Let\'s wait, we\'ll see :)

 

[Claud]

Thats right guys I would like to make a more translucent looking flea mabye a bit more microscopic look to it.

 

I will post updates soon.[nauka]

[Claud]

Ok here is next update.........

 

[Claud]

ok he needs legs .....

WIP

 

[Blooddragon]

[Pablo]

Hi, nice work :) Do You have any images of thiese insect?? if not i have some...:)

 

greetz

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Claud]

Wow thanks ...those images are awsome...really cool ...i have shitty references...Thanks Alot .[soczek]

[Claud]

Since Pablo was nice enough to give me such good reference images Im gonna rebuild parts of the Flea so it will take few more days before it will be the way i want.

 

Take it easy boys.....[nauka]

[RK]

Work, black man, work ! :)

[Claud]

Ok I modified the body so that it is similar to the ref image...And I remodled the head totally.

 

I have also strated to shade his head cause im bored of modeling and will model his legs later....

[leander]

I wrote some poem.

Claud and flea, ooh Yeah !

 

Polish version:

Claud zrobił kurde niezłą pchłę !

[oxygenn]

that\'s impressive...

[Blooddragon]

that\'s realy nice work man! I wonder what kind of texture you would create:) the orange one, or those like from the electron microscope?

[Gotham]

Hi,

 

 

Great.

 

And about flea visualization. I very like Grzegorz Jonkajtys work (by the way, his in the Jury ;) ).

 

 

Animation

[Claud]

Yeah I saw grzegorz flea , it looks great -im not sure what mine will look like yet as I have not had much time to work on it.

 

anyway hopefully i will have some time and do some work soon.

[graf_zero]

Really nice work. I\'m waiting for upadetes

[Claud]

ok guys here is a test renddr of my flea...im not quite happy with his legs yet.

 

anyway i will keep u all posted.

 

[KAIN]

Model is perfect.

 

I think that this textures are too dark.

Try to render on white background.

 

 

KAIN

[graf_zero]

Theres something starnge about the leg material.. Maybe try giving some details in color textures. BTW I would like to see the body texture (beacuse I think it looks great). Could you place it in here?

[Claud]

I agree the legs need work... I have seen many ref images of a flee and they dont have that much texture on account that they are so small...but i think i will make it more textured anyway, just because it looks better.

 

here is the body texture for graf_zero

[roball]

Cloud.. [wow] i want to be like you :D

 

great model.

[Gotham]

Uuu very nice :>

 

Keep on!

[klower]

looks gr8, but what about the environment . Do you have something on your mind? or just the black color ?

[Kris_R]

You\'ll need some nice falloffs on the textures... but nice work so far :D

[saygon]
