Zenon Dev.

[IGP: Net Wanderer]

Well, last time the 3D Hair Model didn't go to well (Still have it, but haven't touched it)

As the thread says, I've decided to model Zenon from Konjiki no gashbell and at the end perhaps produce a mixed media FanArt - combination of 2D and 3D art.

I'm setting this thread to showing the developements of this for anyone who may be interested?

Anyways, probably some people may have seen this already:

So far, I've modelled half the face mesh of Zenon (But the mesh is abit messed up on the cheek...):

Probably see it more 3D here : P

Anyway, going to get some more of him done.

*Textures and lightings aren't applied yet : P (Can't wait for that ^^)

Hope you like seeing him getting modelled and finished later on : )

 

[Magical Trevor]

Wow hoy d'ya do that. it's soo cool. Are you gonna be doing some more?

 

[IGP: Net Wanderer]

Yeah, I'm doing the back of his head mesh just now, and possibly add in the hair and neck and see how it looks.

Just doing it just now.


[EDIT]

k... got the back done slightly : P

Somethings wrong with his hair at the back...

Some Bald Patches going to get that fix >_>; <_<;

Back tomorrow probably continuing on to the main body! : )

*Does anyone have his side views by any chance?



[My Update : P] [07/02]

Got the back of the head fixed with the hair : )
Got the neck modelled.
Got part of the bonnet done.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y109/Net-Wanderer/ZeonDev2.gif

Maybe get the rest done tonight XD



[Update] [07/02]

Well, got the Bonnet done now XD

I've darken the model to give some effects and ideas : P Still got the textures to make soon (Meanwhile he have to stay with the plasticy look... >_>; )

I'm left with the main cloak and hands (if needed) now : )

Man this thread looks darker than normal... Anyways...

Right now I'm deciding on a pose for him for the time being (I can re-adjust his pose later as well for later mix Artwork), so I wondering if anyone have a suggestion on what you want him to be like : )

I'm going to hop off again and finish the cloak and legs later XD

See yous next Update : )


*I've changed the above animations to URLs now, to save speed of loading this page : P Probably avoiding using up the Serebii forum bandwidths... ^_^o



[Update] [09/02]

Sorry, i haven't updated this model yesterday, been really busy : P

Anyways, I've created half of his cloak, and... somethings not right... Here it is (Both the Dark and the Light images)

Proper textures still haven't been added in yet. I going to try re-adjusting the cloak a little since the shadows seems rather odd... probably need to re-adjust the bonnet a little too... - -;

Anyways, I'll update it tomorrow if anyone's still interested.

*I'll have the cloak ready then, probably the legs and shoes too : ) Once this models finished, let see if I can really put an awesome look in the outcome : )

See yous then : )


[EDIT]
*If anyones looking for an actual overall animation, I guess I'll stick one in after the whole thing is created wit the textures, meanwhile, keep our figures crossed ; )

(The computers are slowing down cause of the detail in the head and cape, well... let see how far I can take this)



[Update] [10/2]

Got the rest of the cloak finished and adjusted, and it came out... pretty well : )

The back and the front part of the cloak is probably ok... (Could had been worst when working with the creases : P) but the overall breadth of the cloak is kind of out (Even though it's being blown like the way the animators animate him), I'll probably re-adjust it, wouldn't take too long.

Anyways, please take a look : )

Looking from the front and back looks kind of right, but here's the 3D view around him.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y109/Net-Wanderer/ZeonDev5.gif

Wonder what, he'll look like with the legs though, will the cloak look smaller : P

k, I'll see if I can fit in the shoes now, brb! ^-^


[Update] [10/2]

Got the shoes made, but don't know if it suppose to look like that - Haven't really noticed his shoes...

Anyways, that's pretty much the model finished. Oh yeah, fixed the cloak and hair too, show yous next update ; )

Since there was no suggestions on his pose for the Mix Artwork that's coming after this model, I've decided to model his hand as well for a pose, then get the textures on him now for the next up date.

Meanwhile, I'm going to go for the weekend,

See yous then ; )


*If anyone have any suggestions on adjustments on this model, you're welcome to post one : ) just before I go any further with the mistakes : P


[Update] [20/2]

Long time no see >_< been 10 days since my last update Oh dear...

Anyways, Sorry I've been gone for a long time, been working on some project and just finished the presentation today @_@

Oh well, I'm back now and going in... 10 minutes, but just to say, I'll be working on Zenon again : ) Getting the textures made now >_< So for only came on and spent 10 minutes on an eye, here:

Did it in photoshop, nothing impressive, anyway, hope it fits into his eyes properly, brb in a sec ; )


[EDIT]

On second thoughts... it's 10pm, I'm about to get kciked out of the Computer Labs... I'll catch yous tomorrow : )

Appears the eye didn't fit in too well, going to fix it >_<

 

[haruka~]

I think they look cool, but I don't know anything about this kind of art, so I couldn't help you with anything. ^^;;

 

[IGP: Net Wanderer]

Yeah Thanks ^-^ I'm glad you like it : ) To be honest, this is my second try on modelling Characters + Anime as well. I wanted to practice, so decided to give Zenon a try : )

[Update] [23/02]

Sorry I've been away for a while > >; got too much work...

Anyways : ) I managed to correct the eye textures, and filled in the Cloak textures. Take a look : )

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y109/Net-Wanderer/ZeonDev6.jpg

I like the eyes so much, manage to texture the detail into it with the correct glow XD Liked the strands of hair too : )

but the back of the Cloak needs work... (I'm still not satisfied... : P)


I'm going to try and get the rest of the texture done for the Bonnet and the Bell : ) Think the Shoes doesn't need texturing because it seemed to look fine : P

I'm planning to model the hand too, and (Yup, you might had guess the pose I have in mind) see if I can get the Zakeru spell going everywhere : ) Was planning to do the Teo Zakeruga... maybe if I have time ; )

See yous next Update ^-^

Once I have the Zakeru active, I get a 360 degrees view around him with the spell active (animated), see if I can do it... ^_^o Everyone cross your fingers! XD

[EDIT]
I might not be able to update it for a while - - either way, during some weekend I'll start working on the 2D stuff then for the final media, please check it out! ^-^

 

[latias]

That's looking pretty kool! I wish I could do 3D stuffs XP I cant wait till it's finished!!!

 

[IGP: Net Wanderer]

Thank you Latias ^^ 3D Modelling's pretty easy to learn and get use too : ) Just takes some time.


[Update] [28/02]
Yeah! ^^ I'm making his pose. Before I model his arms, hands and electricity, I thought you might like to see the Render, since the texture is put in : )

The atmosphere is kept dark. I thought the textures are quite nice, but probably still need some work ; ( Well, see how much I can smash it up ^^

See yous next update guys! : )

 

[haruka~]

The eyes are pretty. ^^ I like shiny things.
It looks cool so far. =]

 

[IGP: Net Wanderer]

[EDIT]
Thanks for your comment Haruka! : )
[/EDIT]

Sorry I haven't updated this thread for so long, had been filled up with projects T_T

Anyways... after these two months gap...

Yup, I'm hanging there, back onto Zenon ; )

[Update] [05/04]

Lately, I haven't got much update on him, manage to model his arm and hand, also every individual fingers (Meaning they can move). Also placed him in a newer pose. Added in Lighting effects, and trying to increase textures.

Here it is so far:

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y109/Net-Wanderer/ZeonStrikePose.jpg

The glow on the rim of the cape, I just photoshoped it, since the computer's about to break up, if the lightning and these glow effects are added in : P

Still needs a little more work right?

Anyways, in the above, I'm drawing Zenon in 2D, and will be put into the final outcome (not in the state he's in just now) - So far you can see the only part that is properly drawn is the hair.

I'm aware this thread's getting invaded with pictures and GIFs. I will have to start changing pictures to links soon, I'll sort it shortly.

Well, I'm off, and updating him on Friday, or depending, if it's going to spoil the outcome...

Going to get some sleep, see you then : )


[Out of topic]

I've noticed there were replies to the 3D Hair Thread that was posted ages ago. Sorry I couldn't continue that thread, because the thread went down a while ago, and I losted it. I'll probably restart the model again sometime, now that I've had more practice on it ; )

Thanks for your viewings and replies for that thread! : )

Meanwhile, I won't give up this thread that easily.
I hope this thread continues to interest people! ^-^

Later! ; )

 

[.Bambi.]

Whoa, that's excellent.
3-D = win. Seriously, I LOVE 3-D. How did you do it?

 

[IGP: Net Wanderer]

[Update] [07/04]

Back Again ^^

Was working on the 2D Stuff... and Zenon's looking weird...

*sigh* (- o-) = ()

Somethings definitely not right with the picture, I'm going to change it a little, brb... - -



[Update] [10/04]

There was something wrong with the picture I displayed of the 2D Zenon on the last update, so I've decided to redraw it...


(Image placed below)


And it's coming out better now ^^ (Used the old one as a template - had no pencil drawing scanned in for the last one... so I think I was abit out, also drawing with a mouse since I'm not at home... ¬_¬; )

The drawing is currently paused, and the constant update will continue on Wednesday

Hope you like seeing this drawing developing : )



The threads been here for long enough... guess it's about time this week, to end this...

He's giving me the chills now...

 

[superjolteon]

Oh brilliant stuff IGP! This kinda stuff is what i'm tryin to produce! 3D art is very cool and I swear this is the first time i've seen someone post 3D art on here!
What program do you use?
I use Cinema4D.

And also what kinda NURBS did you use for your character?
Sweeps, Lathes etc? And this is all you used pretty much to create this 3D model? That's pretty good work!
Have you tried doing point modelling? It's more time consuming but you can be pretty precise when modelling anything. Good for faces and good if you are using a photo or picture as reference in the background. Think I'm kinda waffling here aren't I?
Well, could you post the final rendered model for us please? Would really like to see the full outcome!

Nice 2D drawings so far as well! Good luck!

 

[IGP: Net Wanderer]

I use 3D Max at Home : ) but for this model, it was done in the university, with the 3D package their using, Form-Z : P (Pretty good, but can be abit a pain, prefer 3D Max).

I used U-V Nurbs to create the model, only the legs where out of Solid Cylinders : P

This is my second time using Nurbs... so it's not that great... need some more practice lol.

I want to try creating the Nurbs by points, seems pretty interesting, but because the way Form-Z works, its U-V Nurbs pretty much works as complicated as the Point Nurbs... ¬_¬; (The Nurbs here can't be editted in any ways as far as I know... and even the curves couldn't be adjusted easily else causes bad code and crashes...)

I've modelled one character before with Solids, and it was crazy... ¬_¬

My computer isn't all that fast, while the university has a server to render D), I decided to work on the package abit more to see what it can really do : )

Anyways, I'm back to drawing ^-^; Sorry for the delay everyone, I'll Update it just now.

 

[superjolteon]

Wow sounds pretty interesting! What university is this? I've never heard of "Form-Z".

3D Max is a good package though to use.

 

[IGP: Net Wanderer]

Update So far...

After the constant 15 minute update of the drawing, I'm sorry that I have to pause it for the time being. This will continue again on Wednesday (2 Days later).

Thanks for watching!
Please Visit again ^^


[Out of Topic]

Wow sounds pretty interesting! What university is this? I've never heard of "Form-Z".

3D Max is a good package though to use.

lol, guess I can't tell you that : )

I'm from UK anyways, not exactly doing anything related to 3D modelling and animation in detail. I'm a 1st Year Architecture Student (Actually going for a Craft, Design, and Graphics Teacher), so I mainly model my building designs : )

Other words, I do 3D Modelling as an interest : )

Form-Z's... an ok package, it's straight forward to use, just better than Auto-CAD in modelling organic stuff. Problem is compared to Max, the file sizes are massive : P

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y109/Net-Wanderer/Grass.jpg

I modelled some grass... and Max can probably store it with hardly 100Kb, while it took Form-Z 2Mb XP



[Update] [11/04]

Right... I think that's as far as I can go for this picture, the background won't be made since it will be transfered to the next picture. The lines probably need to fix a little, I work on that out of forum, since there won't be much change : )

So, I'll leave it at this for now.

Hope you enjoyed it!
Thanks for watching! ^^

The coming 2D Drawings I don't think will be interesting, but I'll probably put another constant update drawing again.

Well, that's all from me today (We're close to the outcome now! ^^)

See yous tomorrow! : D


IMPORTANT NOTICE

Due to an assignment, I apologise that I won't be able to work on this during this week. I'll be back to it soon. Sorry about the Delay...



Updating [18/04]

Just had my assignment done and most of my projects... T_T

Anyways, now back to Zenon ^^

Sorry I lack Updates in this thread all the time, I'm working on the outcome just now.


Due to the amount of updates, instead of starting another thread, I did a rough sketch last night for practice ( This time on a Graphics Tablet on a Random Design, Zenon was done with a mouse), and I thought it came out quite nice, so I decided to post it : )

Hope you like it, while I make the outcome just now ^^


[EDIT]
@_@ I'm never modelling figures or any kind of movable nurbs in Form-Z ever again... crashed 5 times today while Rendering... and the cloak for Zenon stiff : P

Next Update, I guess it'll be the last one. Sorry I couldn't put a live update on today > <


Off Topic

Well at least this brighten the dark atmosphere in this thread a little I hope : )

 

[haruka~]

Your sketch is really pretty! ^^
I like the wispyness of the lines, and the dress is very cute too. =]
I think the only thing that's wrong is that the background makes it look like she's lying on grass, but her pose doesn't really look like that.

 

[Tip The Waitress]

dang that 3d stuff is good, but that off topic pic is amazing ! nice work!

 

[latias]

Ooooh your sketch ish really nice! ^-^ I luff the way you did her hair! Now if only I could do that... X3

 

[IGP: Net Wanderer]

Thanks very much for your support guys ^^

Oh : ) The Off topic picture was just an idea I had in mind, so drew it out lol : ) didn't think of adding colour to it... Actually maybe in another thread I will ; )


Well my project presentation is coming : P and this determines all whether or not I will move to 2nd year or not... so I won't be producing any Developement threads for the time being. Anyways...

Nothing to say now, but just two words...


"Let's rock..."


[LIVE UPDATE] [24/04]

This shall be the last update : )

And yup, live update just now... 2D stuff being finished.

Finished one 2D drawing in Live Update ; )

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y109/Net-Wanderer/ZenonEye.jpg


[FINISHED! ^^]

Well, let's finish this everyone! : )

My final outcome ; )
(I can't believe I manage to finish this XD)



Sorry for all the delays and late updates due to some uni projects that I had to do > _ <

This developement had been fun ^^

Still remembering the first Zenon model with just half of the head done? It's still up there, and it had quite a change surprisingly! ^_^

This developement I guess I succeeded in one way of improving my anime modelling and graphics, however failed in getting the effect I want - In the Temporary Pose Version, one with the Dark looking Zenon, that was almost to the effect I was looking for ^^;

Anyway : )

I hope everyone enjoyed watching this develope to the outcome it is now ; )

Also if something turns down, keep trying, it'll eventually come out great! : )

Thanks everyone for your support and watching this developement ^^

I'll see you around guys!


This developement is now complete and will have no further updates - I'll place the 360 degrees Zakeru at some time though ; )

See ya ^^


*Got the animation playing now, but I can't do anything with the size of it unless I make it an AVI, sorry about that T T

Anyways now that the animation's playing, I've put a star which means this developement is completed*

Thanks for watching everyone ^^

Thanks in advance for any further comments too : )
Critism is ok as well : ) I'll try better next time ^^



*GIF version*

*Large JPEG version* - I thought it was a pretty nice wallpaper too ^^

Now I'll start cleaning up this thread : )

 

[Korimura]

Ah! I'm so jelous... oh well, since this is my first semester in 3-D animations class, I shouldn't be... Zeno looks good enough to be in a video game.
