There's nothing normal about normals. In FACT i think the are abnormal.

Hi all.
Finally taken him out of bind pose. Im trying a few diffrent positions, but kinda like this one for the scene. But they may change. Nothing here is concrete at the moment, the lighting and background is all just experiments.
Basically im getting rid of the knife, cause its not cutting it. lol get it.. not cutting it.. ahh i crack me up
ok..
Im really peaceing this scene together as i go. Hes going to be in the city, but a city that has been dead for thousands of years. So now it has all overgrown with jungle, because of climit change. So i guess you could say the year was 4000 AD.
Theres going to be a mixture of old technology lying around, and hes going to be holding a rench in his hand instead of a knife... Now why is he holding the rench. who knows.. maybe he is fixing something up,... making something from the parts left over..
Theres going to be a elephant in the background, .. just because ive modeled the dam thing and im going to use it.. lol.. i was thinking of dressing the elephant up in some sort of harness.
The "Vine" that he is holding, is actually not a vine, but old powerlines, that he now swings from.

Well you guys are welcome to help me build the story, so i can build the scene.

Let me know you thoughts

been playing with the lighting a little, and now using fg with mr to get the more desired result. This is just a preview render.
Also, im playing with differnt poses at the moment. Cant quite work out what i want.

looking real good, nice lighting

his bent knee (on the left of the scene) looks rubbery though as if its bending in a slightly wrong place or the muscle above has bent a little too much with the joint.

ya thanks, i agree.
I had orginally only skinned him into that position, but now im not so sure that i like the pose, i went and skinned all of him, so now i can put him in any position i want. I will come up with something sortly.
Thanks for the reply

once uve modeled and textured everyhitn i recon u shud do a couple of shots, try a swinging thru air with a little motion blur random birds and monkeys sitting around

Wrench anyone? or is it rench? hmm.
Well this is what he will be holding instead of the knife. I could have added a little more detail around the edges but i really see no need to since you never going to notice it from the distance it will be from the camera.

Matt- Sure sounds like a great idea. I will probably make a monkey a little down the track. But knowing me i might get up in the morning and decide to do it, lol
I most probably will do a small animation after the scene. Might as well for all the work thats going into it.

P.S from suggestion from others, i have decided that hes going to be in a greek city. So that way i can model some interesting greek monuments.

Cheers All, and i appricaiate everyones interest

didnt realise they had jungles in greece

ahh you must read the post up higher

It is the year 4000 AD, and the city of greece is dead, and the climit change has caused the city to turn into a jungle. With a mixture of old and new technologys.

(u dont have to do water i was only messin about) :p yeah his pose is prety cool, u cud try erm, him in a squating position sat on a tree eating some kina fruit

eating fruits not bad. i did try him squating, but i kinda got work out i guess what hes doing in the scene before i can work out the position.
Heres just an idea.. Cause i cant draw for squat, i just merged some photos together.
