June Challenge - jonkelis - Noobie
 

I'm finaly in a challange.:banana:
But i don't have any idea what i'm going to build.
Hope i'll get a idea later today.

Good.
Best of lucks mate!

thanx,
but no ideas yet. Maybe something like a spider thing with a drill's , on his feet.

I was thinking... and thinking... and nothing came to my head,
so i just sat down at my PC , turned Maya and this is what came out after a few minutes
Well what do you think? :D

This is how the feet will look.

Oh and the "thing" will have 5 leg's.

How did you get that spiral effect?

in the Animation panel(or what is that called) then Deform>Create Nonlinear>Twist

A little more.
What do you think?
Should i leave those spikes on the torus?

woohaaaaaa....what a great idea. and a great start.

arghhhh this is what was gonna go on the front of mine!!!! :( well I'll have to make mine a bit different!! ;) looks excellent though. I like the way the mechanism looks already

Alan

:D
Pure_Morning, if a noobie like me can do this , then a normal like you could do something better

not necessarily...... ;)

Well , this is as far as i goot today, after school i will do much more.

how do you get the wires to show up on the model ?

Look for Wireframe on Shaded in the current window menu.

and also mumbo, that is not a render, but just a screenshot from within maya.

happy birthday jonkelis! a little late but still!!

good start on your challenge to

Problem
 

Yo, guy's I have a problem, i can't put a ikRPsolver on my bones.
The ting is that when i try to put it there the bones just strech (or smth) out.:banghead:
You can see that in the pic. 1 - is before and 2 - is after

Well maybe you didn't knew or didn't want to say :) , but i figuret (or what is that word) it out. The sulution was that i had to Freeze Transformations, cause the upper bone was rotated 45°.
So...
That's all(for today) folks.

i think you can set prefered angle as well - no need to freeze transformation.

This thing kinda looks like the drill they used in the matrix reloaded

realy? I haven't yet seen tha supa movie.

Well i think i will finaly leave alone those little feet around the drill, cause i think i am finaly happy with them, and it's right about time to do the upper leg and oh my god .... the body ....

Whel what do you think?
Any C and C ar welcome.

this is very interesting "noobie" work, i can't put my finger on how, but i really think its unique. I think you have a clear vision on what you want, and that can really help.

thanks vectorman,
but i dont have any vision :) or idea (well maybe something , but not much) of what to do, i'm just trying to make it look good and just keep on doing until it look's good enuogh.

Well i saw that everyone post's there pic's lit up with GI_Joe, so i (some how) install'ed it and here is da pic.
It took 04:06 min with my
622 mHz Celeron, 192 ram, Radeon 7000 SDR 64MB :( and WinXP pro.
So i hope that i can get (find) a 1000 mHz Celeron for my old PC this week.

Just wanted to see how it look's when it's lit up with a good light.
Oh , and my bro is in town so i think i will not be able to do any modeling this weekend, you know ... :beer:

you dont have to use gi_joe for your process. i am not using it - but then maybe that is why my renders look so crappy - lol. you might want to check out realfakegi - that renders pretty fast. my last animation on here was done in 10 minutes total - that is 7.5 seconds average per frame. only added to the realfakegi a directional light for shadows.

but then the resolution was only 480x300 and was done on:
1.3 ghz tb with 768 mb sdram

still faster than if i would have used gi_joe.

nice render by the way ;)

Well just a very, very small update.
I just had to have a little break from maya, but i'm back , and i hope i could do something, cause i have no ideas
:banghead::banghead:
Any C & C are welcome

ahh its cool, there are some shader based Fake GI things realfakeGI is one.. well i think its shader based, no lights i can see in the scene, look at highend3d.com.. it may be kinder on your system

it is shader based but it also adjusts the shader if the object moves. and for just real fast showing off wip w/o proper light is easy to do with realfakegi. i just added today a detail shot with realfakegi - and if you enable hardware shading, you see the gi in real time in maya ;)

Man, that's cool, it took me just 47s to render this one.:bgreen:
Although it rendered quite good, but i couldn't get a shadow :mad: , maybe because i'm a newbie in mel :p .
Well maybe later i will talk to some one on the irc or smth.
Oh... and see you tomorrow , i'm going to bed now, it's 23:59 my time :sleep: :sleep: :sleep:
So cya...

Nice............................................Ve ry Nice...........................................Ama zing

What does it mean?
 

When i try to install GI_Joe with the help, it says "Source the script and execute it.". Please explain it like you would explain it to a dumb guy :D which doesn't understand about mel .... cause i don't get it.

Well, finaly a little body.
Just a try of the body, don't know if i will leave it this way.
