Shadow Mech

[eyeinfinitude]

I was bored to I grabbed one of my mechs and slapped on a pair of cannons. I hope you guys like it. =)

[nobody]

whoa-oa!
Shinay!
I like that a lot electrongeek
Any chance of us seeing a different view?

btw, do you have like.. ya know.. a real name? It gets wierd when you really admire someones work but you have no idea what their name is.

Hold on a sec

never mind, you is being hai/timothy

[Soul]

I hate you!!! :P

Very sexeh :beam:

- Soul :s:

[eyeinfinitude]

Sure I can render it at another angle. By the way, my friends call me Tim, but you can call me EG. muahhaha j/k :P

[nobody]

haha.. very fun

you are now forever eg, i shall never look up to you again.

[Soul]

I like the beams! Can you show it blasting something to pieces, like a wooden crate or something? Or a sheep? :P:P

- Soul :s:

[replode]

Thanks Alexis, I'm glad you like it. :P

[eyeinfinitude]

Here's another angle.

Having it blow up something isn't a bad idea, I'll see what I can put together. =)

[mdipi]

how i hate you so...to much talent! man...this is fuockin amazing.

i kiss your hand.

[Alex]

Hey tod,

thats even better.

great job!:)

[ahmed]

Just love it! =)

[eyeinfinitude]

Just flattered. =)

[nobody]

Just love it too!=)

[Soul]

Yay, can it blow up a sheep? :bad:

- Soul :s:

[eyeinfinitude]

um......



no....:sleep:

[Soul]

Why, too challenging for you? Aren't you man enough? :P

[Alex]

i could make it blow up a sheep

[eyeinfinitude]

Soul, you're right, sheeps are too challenging for me. :P

[mdipi]

that angle rocks! did you do the beams in PS or c4d? they and the gow on the helmet look so cool.

kiss your hand...kiss your hand

[eyeinfinitude]

The actual beams itself are C4D, but the particles are photoshopped.

kiss my as$? :P

[awligon]

Man, you have so much talent and skill it's sick. Your site is the most seamless and utterly impressive of its type that I've yet to see. It's hard to get a realistic interface like that and have functional content as well. One thing has always bothered me though, that one top piece just doesn't fit in. I know it's off topic, sorry about that. The mech kicks ***.

[eyeinfinitude]

awligon, thanks for the kind words. Now, I'll be sure to make an even better layout with my next version. =)

- Soul :s:

[awligon]

how about it blowing up another one?

[cybergold]

That looks really great! :beam: What program did you make the particle blast in? C4D?

[Soul]

That'll be too easy! It needs to be a different object :bad:

[awligon]

metal sheep? or rabbits :bu:

The laser beam was created in C4D, but the particles are photoshop.

[mdipi]

do you mean teh wraping things too? anyway are you still going to make that mech fight?

[eyeinfinitude]

I'm learning how to animate in C4D now, eventually all my 3D stuff will be in motion.

[Emperor3434]

*smirks and hides his flimsy little drawings and flash-animations*

Woah...you are awesome! (And you site rocks, electrongeek!)

[eyeinfinitude]

haha thanks Emperor3434, never seen you around before. Welecome to the forum. =)

[mdipi]

oh cool eg. your render times are gonna sky rocket, but its gonna be sweet!

[Emperor3434]

Hehehe...thanks, electrongeek! Yeah, I'm a super newbie...I think I registered about an hour ago. :azn:

[jay-em]

Man that just totally SUCKS... It prolly took you more time to post that than render it....
:P D@mn I'm jealous !! Great job man !!
Animation coming up huh? Kewl, can't wait....Take it sleezy

____:battery: jMkM

[eyeinfinitude]

haha thanks guys. I'll make sure I'll blow up some sheeps when I animate these mechs. :P

[JK87]

Make sure to stick on a "No animals were hurt in the making of this movie." notice at the end :P.

EG, you just get better and better. It's sooooo not fair ;). I can't wait to see the animated versions...


JK.

Don't you mean 3 letters? hahah :P

Thanks for the comments everyone. =)

[mdipi]

no the ment three words.

3 words
WOW

thats three words. :P :trout:

[eyeinfinitude]

Dipi, you deserve to be taken out back and smacked around with a trout. :evil:

[Soul]

A spoon would be more appropriate

[mdipi]

or a sheep. or souls head, then i get beat and soul is gone.

[eyeinfinitude]

Ok I did a quick render of shadow mech blasting it's twin. =)

[awligon]

sweet, it's no crate of sheeps but hey, it's still awesome

[replode]

cool. it would be sweet if you did a stop motion battle. look at him go down in pain... :P

[eyeinfinitude]

haha why go through the trouble of a stop motion battle when I can go all out and do a full animation sequence. :P

Well atleast I'm trying, animating in 3D is a bit more complicated then I thought. =)

[Soul]

Yay :beam: Do a crate EG :thumb: Do a crate

[eyeinfinitude]

Yay :beam: How about no?! :thumb: No Soul

[snaxs]

hey very cool. ! love it

i am very very new with photoshop , and drawing in 3d etcetc.
so can you tell me whats C4D and how did you make does blast particles in photoshop ?

thanks alot. and excellent work !

[Sauce2k]

eg, sick render as usual, but in your animation, make it so the cannons are fired, and once it hits the other mech, have the camera circle around both mechs to give it a matrix feel, and then have the mech fall to the ground and kinda power down :crazy:

[mdipi]

hmm the eg doesnt fit there, and his feel look weird, i think a better angle is needed imo.l

othewise thats sick!

[morse]

the cannons look like water guns :P

[Demonia]

That is amazing work, just like everything else that you do :beam: . Out of curiosity, how long did it take you to put one of those mechs together and did u start with a sketch (i.e reference pics)?

D :beam:

[eyeinfinitude]

snaxs, c4d is a 3d modeling program and those blast particles are just white circles with an outer glow applied to each in photoshop.

Demonia, I made these mechs a long time, the ones you see now are just updated versions. The originals took me about 4 hours to piece together and rendering time varies from 5 min to an hour. As for references, the only references I used was from my imagination.

Sauce2k, that's a pretty good suggestion, I'll keep that in mind when I do the animations.

Thanks for the comments everyone. =)

[Sauce2k]

Glad to of been a help :s: I know its off topic, but did u end up working on that flash audio player again?

[eyeinfinitude]

haha it's just one of my many side projects. :P

[Millad]

I love the blasting thing :)

nice and good job EG, I like it

So every new 3d model u make u creat a new site ? :P

but I love this one
http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/attachment.php?s=&postid=271300

maybe make a background scene and creat a movie :trout:

[kei]

i think u should add motion blur on the one flying back!
it'll add some more impact on the scene :)

[crazysniper22]

Timothy Tran is the mans name i think? he's bloody good! but, i still prefer his 2 old versions of his site :P

[asphaltcowboy]

*cough* digging up old threads *cough*

[Gecko]

Wow, thats one fantastic mech! Any chance of a tutorial?:P

[valay5]

DUDE!!! That thing rocks! How did u make it. U have been known for such good work but man... I wish i could male something like that! Good Is there a free trial of that program though? Thanks! bye!

[eilsoe]

asphalt: there is absolutely nothing wrong with digging up old threads, then we might as well forbid replying to posts at all :m:


Man I have GOT to get into 3D again.. I've spent the last year in DW and Photoshop... :(

[asphaltcowboy]

no no, this is the second time it's been dug up :beam:

[reverendflash]

so, does it harm anyone?

and why is it your responsibility to point it out?

are you the new hall monitor?

Revhttp://www.aulman.com/rev.gif

[valay5]

Yea REV!

[asphaltcowboy]

lol. I said that some time ago :sure:

nice work EG :thumb:

[.soulty]

nice render there eg !! :!:

What method are you using to render these? I can see the nice reflections so im guessing HDR but i remember you said you couldnt get that with the version of Cinema you had. Is that just using a reflection map?

[eyeinfinitude]

Thanks for the comments everyone. :geek:

Soulty, you're right, I still don't have HDR so since I don't have it, I decided to come up with my own method that sort of mimics the effects of HDR rendering. It's not as good, but it is close enough for now.

I will be moving on to Maya soon so keep an eye out for new stuff. =)

[Voetsjoeba]

Heyhey, long time no see EG ! :)

Cool, Maya rocks ! =) *can't wait*

[eyeinfinitude]

You finally have seen the light!! Go forth to the HDR lighting, go to better and greater things, lol. :P

Your gonna hate Maya at the start, especially coming from Cinema, but give it time and you will love many things about it. the navigation and the hot menu when you hit the space bar are two favourites. ;)

Can't wait to see your models rendered with Mental Ray!!

:: ohh i should mention that there should be a plugin for models made in cinema (probably DFX or OBJ export) to be able to import into Maya.

Take care::
::soutly:::smirk:::

[Makaveli]

amazing **** EG!! I remember back in the day when you were new here and sucked at this stuff..........

=)





no wait, it was me who sucked and you were the one who was/is very good....

I went to your site and *drools* i'm very impressed :P

[eyeinfinitude]

Soul, just because I plan to use Maya doesn't mean I'm abandoning C4D. I'm just experimenting with something new. =)

Mak, when did you come back!? I haven't seen you in 499387349287392 years or so. :P
