Tryforce Vs. Kalango

[TryForce]

Ok, so we both have a match now.
The main theme is: Godlike Animal

You can compare it much with the "Bigsize" competition wich was here at GA, only that this has to do with Animals beeing like a God.

The Polylimit will be 6000 tris , 1x 2048 sized Texture with only normal Color and Alphamap. The maps can be Split into different sizes or can be even lower then 2048.


Ok Kalango :D good luck :lol:

[Kalango]

Yeah! nice :)
Loved the specs...thanks God no normal map yet since i have no sculpter here -.- or off board video card...
Question...concept is neded?

[Vikkie]

good luck to both of you :D

[TryForce]

Yeah! nice :)
Loved the specs...thanks God no normal map yet since i have no sculpter here -.- or off board video card...
Question...concept is neded?


Hehe same here, im just not ready to do Normal mapping.

Uhm just as you like, i will do a few sketches here and there maybe show off, but its not that needed, hopefully you will finish the model :P

Thanks vikkie :inocent:

[Gavin]

Good luck guys, I'll be watching this :D

[Kalango]

Heh nice :)
Nice to have vikkie and gavin here so far xD
we'll do our best...i think xD

[butt_sahib]

Even though the specs ARE nice- i really have to warn you of the dangers of having just a simple diffuse for a 6k model. At that high a count- youre going to find making the simple difuse both tedious and difficult (very difficult-from personal experience) At that count, i think you should have a normal map or maybe decrease the poly limit. BUt i guess thats just me :)

Good luck guys :0

[indian_boy]

oooh another one.

this is gonna be fun.

[kipiripi]

Hehe,really its gonna be fun.Good luck guys..

[free-willy]

good luck both of you,sounds like a fun challenge youve set.

[izuka]

gl guys, ill be cheering for you TryForce :)

[TryForce]

Haha this is so cool :) thanks ya'll * wubless izuka xD *

I choosed the Panda as an Animal-God , I got allready some nice sketches and decorations :D just loving this theme, <3 Kalango!

Sketches soon!

@Butt: haha dude, for me the 6k are good enough to make a smooth silouhett and something more then just a "model" :P

[ShadyD]

Go Go TF!
Go Go Kalango!
Enough talk, Show time! :)

[Amethyst]

Looking forward to your concepts and models...

[TryForce]

Enough talk, Show time! :)

True word!

Thanks amethyst.

So here is what i got, studied abit the Panda and sketched his decoration so far, nothing special though something to show off i think:

[HntrLuc]

Haha cool. So it's kinda like a mix of Black and white and the current mini comp?

I'll be watching this :)

[ShadyD]

Haha cool a panda with a bamboo stick of death! :)

[Kalango]

Hah! Panda!!! Loved it :), hope its not a god of peace too...

Heres Tokobo, the god of eastern peace:

Haha thanks guys for the cheering!
Butt: Man if you knew that i love to texture haha!!! For me normal maps can ruin a lot of good pieces....the most of them btw....

hope you like it...cuz i'm enjoying it so far hehe...thought the college is eating my time up i wil finish this for shure...
Oh and btw...i'll maybe finish the concept one day...

[TryForce]

No time limit dont worry,

Dammit this look great Kalango!
just here are my crits and suggestions:
the Pipe looks more like the thing you eat from, and not the one you smoke from.
he has 4 arms.. maybe 4 legs also?

that it, haha kinda feel worried now how to handle mine ;D though i will try to gett something good now! 2morow i got 2 hours of art class, gonna pimp there somethin.

@hunter: yeh kind of that theme :D

@shady: haha xD bambo stick of death!!!

[Japhir]

that is a great concept! you really captured the peacefull feeling! and he's cool too :D his upper left arm (view= upperright) seems a bit small in comparison to the other arms though.
keep it up!

[Kalango]

Hah :)
TryForce: Yeah man it looks like a hot pot of soup doesnt it? i will fix it when finishing the concept and modelling. :) thanks. (no, no four legs...pour boy, but he has a tail!). Cant wait to see the DEADLY PANDA BEAR! xD

Japhir: Thaks man :D, yeah proportions were made quickly, but i will reduce the upper arms and stretch the lower ones to add a different feel to it. I can also do the opposite, i will think about this when i draw the orthos.

lets keep it up.

[Marcus Dublin]

This ought to be good, keep us entertained guys!:)

[TryForce]

DEADLY PANDA BEAR! xD


He aint gone be Deadly ;D , Panda's are "chilled" animals :P just let you get surprised by the update 2morow.... i hope :doh:
Btw, You should join the mini comp maybe aswell, but its just a tip ;P its like a warmup of what to come later!

[ShadyD]

Senile Mutant Ninja Turtle!
Nice!

[TryForce]

dammit, just cant get a good concept up >_<

[Japhir]

i like em!
how about you make him a bit more "beefy", panda's tend to look pretty big because of their hairs and mass, yours looks a bit skinny.

[Kalango]

looking nice tryforce :), i like the upper one more. Yeah and you could add more fat to it, since pandas are fatty bit lazy boys.. :D keep it up.
Oh and i wont particiate the mini comp -.-....not in tha moooooood.....

[ShadyD]

lol Sad jedi panda =3..
Yeah, make a fat little baby panda! :) With Diaper!!
seriously though, maybe just a naked fat panda in some robes?

[TryForce]

hehe fine Kalango.

Took your advice; i guess now i can feel more safe with this concept:
http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k35/TryForceX/Drawing/pandabear.jpg

lol, his weapon looks dead, dont mind it xD

[HntrLuc]

This is looking much better.

Get some fat BoBo proportions on him!

[Kalango]

looking nicer man :) he is quite mystic hehe, loved the "killer" bamboo.

[ThatDon]

hehe, he looks like he has to go peepee. Keep cracking away at it!

[TryForce]

hehe, he looks like he has to go peepee.

Hahahahha xD muhahahhaha, thanks , made my evening hahaha thanks xD

Drawing aint my skill ;D though thanks.

thx Kalango and Hunter, Fat Bobo? hell yeh! Kalagno, gonna get a new idea for his stick! something !BIGGER! ;D

[ThatDon]

Just takes time, like anything else, honestly I need to sharpen up my own 2d skills too!

[tef]

Way to go, I really love friendly challenges like this. What about introducing a little more chineese elements in that panda? You have dragons, rice hats, bamboo and lots of other stuff that could fit this guy really well.

Keep up the good work, both of you.

[Beartastic]

I like that last concept, tryforce.

[TryForce]

good idea Tef, may try it out the next time, thanks.
;D MBT, here is a small proporation change:
http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k35/TryForceX/Drawing/pandabear-1.jpg

(yeh, school painting, was to excited )

[Twindragon]

right now the new proportions look too ape like I think..maybe take a picture of a panda into photoshop and start painting things onto him. too see where you want to take it.

[Kalango]

little update on the concept:
http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b185/Kalangossauro/3D%20art/Personal/Animal%20god/tokobolol.jpg

Looking nice tryforce :), i am a bit busy with college but soon i will start modelling.

[Marcus Dublin]

One direction you may want to look into is an old man of the woods feel. Maybe your Panda God is a mystical being who has lived since the dawn of time? Possibly a Large saggy/crusty over weight beast who lumbers through the forest, this visual direction could lead to plenty of personality come modeling and texturing time. I have to say that you guys are doing a nice job fleshing things out and since this is little tounament doesn't have the pressures of a comp it would be wise to play with more design iterations. I think it'll lead to kick ass models when all said and done. Keep up the good work guys!:thumb:

good idea Tef, may try it out the next time, thanks.

[Gavin]

That's a really cool idea and the concept looks interesting. You could really play up how ancient the creature is (not just for this, but in real life)..maybe give it a mystic or native kind of feel, if that makes any sense

Looks cool man,
Gav

[ryuju]

looks great kalango, but am i the only one that sees a turtle mounting a half body of a turtle in this pic? :)

[Frozan]

ahhh! i like the turtle idea. man the things u can do with that shell in normal maps and how pretty it would look with spec ahhhh! i like!

[funkdelic]

where are the updates? this is getting more and more interesting ;]

[TryForce]

Hahhahahaha xD Panda's rooockk thaa World!!!!!

Just messing, still cant thing of something.

[Kalango]

Hahhahahaha xD Panda's rooockk thaa World!!!!!


O.O'''
Hey...nice to see that you're still here! HAH!...Just for the record i'm fixing my orthos(cleaning and shading to model)...hehe sorry for the delay...i have a theory:

Time: More you have it, less you have it...when you have it you spend it doing senseless and stupid things like trying to find secrets in mk3 (¬¬') and trying to find out if johnny cage morph is real -.-'...But when you dont have it...you can actualy do stuff...like model...or making money -.-'

heh...with my school on strike i'm not having class...so i will try to acomplish the work :thumb: forgive me HAH!

[TryForce]

;P nice to hear, well im based on the main idea of this Magic-Circle i call, and the Magicals flying cloths and broken stones around him, just not the character design though. I will see more, anyway here:

http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k35/TryForceX/Drawing/pandasrocktheworld-1.jpg

[Kalango]

just not the character design though. I will see more, anyway here:
