Fury From the Deep Recon

[james]

well I was think of doing fury from the deep

except  I allways thought victoria's wardrobe in  FRTD sucked

so as a form of artist license have her in he EOTW  wardrobe  and let her hair down as a sentoff to  evil of the daleks.

otherwise else if any here is interested in such a project ,  id say let it happen.

well here some screen caps   of  the model  WIP




FYI

Iv'e just started college last week  taking some sketching classes  , and  a girl in my class looks like circa 67 deborah wattling .

anyways  look forward to some of you joining my project.

Very cool, what does she look like  rendered?

[james]

well I final managed  merge the head  to the body   and  clear the non deformer history.

I also created  seperate  partition sets one  for the head  and the other for the body.

anyway the head still  has the original uvs , and for the body I just used automatic mapping.

the body texture   ( for for the hands legs and feet)   a single color texture   sampled from  the head texture


that came with the mesh

anyways  I post some updates soon

[Colonel Barker]

Cool. I think you might have some trouble with the shirt texture. It might be easier if you use some more 'cloth' looking material then add the fuzz as a noise map.

Keep your updates coming boy!

Cheers,

Coming along well, you should post a render.

[james]

been doing some test renders with nvidia gelato  , which the pro version now  free,  it's a  renderman like renderer though it uses the python based pyg format  instead of rib  and gsl in place  of sl.
 
Aaron you should  check it out as i'ts awsome for rendering hair.

oh I went on youtube   yesterday and I watched some clips of the enlightment SE  you worked on 

the cg looks kind of like the style  from dune miniseries  the scifi channel did  in 2000.

anyway now that  Im able to render hair curves  I'll post some renders in the morning.

Hi James,

The model is starting to look good, I can't wait to see how the full render will look -- If you are looking for a background for your character, check out the piece I'm working on for this missing episode  --

Later

victoria rig wip

http://www.sendspace.com/file/19glsq

heres the .blend wip  though I just need to sort out the cloth sim  on the clothing and rigging the jaw teeth , eyes ,

toungue.

[james]

 completed rig ready for animation

though the hair seems give somewhat long rendertimes.  and geting  the hair shaded quite right is somewhat of a problem.

so might try rendering the hair in aqsis  , and victoria with the internal renderer.

Really cool, I love seeing this project come together James.

[james]

well I ended up switching back to maya 8.5 had  autodesk transfer my license.

I also purchased prman academic from journey-ed back in october  though only recently had my license transfered
to a my new quad core machine.   as for now   here's two new renders of my victoria rig  which used mentalray for maya.
though I did not use sss instead I used stallbergs old sss fake shader which I got  off creativecrash.
the rig is rigged in advanced skelton with which proved with to be a success with some tweaking and autoweighing with pmheatweight frontend to pinnochio rigging library.

and ways heres some pics





cheers
