Well it is called 5 hour energy for a reason I suppose. lol
For a high dollar program like Maya acting up, that can't be good.

yea, but my teacher will figure it out. The priciest programs are mudbox and inferno. Mudbox is about 600 I believe and my teacher said inferno is a mil. I'm kinda skeptical on it though. Must be an amazing program and artists for it hard to come by.

Well Maya is still messing up so what would have taken an hour took 3 since it froze every 10 seconds for about 5 and 'fatally' crashed once. Anyway, I have the coloring done now. All that is left is the rendering... but I'm not sure if the settings aren't right or it's because of the freezing, but its glitched. The high definition texture is acting weird and some places aren't showing up colored... so I'm getting my professors help in the morning tomorrow... and hopefully I'll get to post them then.

The project is turned in, but still need to tweak the texture more before I post shots here. I'll get to it tomorrow, lol. Anyway, new project is a 3-d character. I took a request from Kaze and will be creating a touhou character called Parsee Mizuhashi. Current task for tomorrow is to prepare reference images. I've currently drawn a front and back view. I needed the practice. sweatdrop Should be fine. All he wanted was something to start with so I'll be good. I'll complete the rest tomorrow.

In class break... guess what... today we had to model in 30 minutes what we had to model for the final the first year, a pod racer. lol. I almost finished, but no one else did either so meh. He was proud of us though for what we accomplished in the short time. I basically made a missle for the engine and a chair for the pod lol. I had duplicated the engin over but didn't get the cables to the chair or the lightning set up... and the chair was unfinished as well... but hey 30 min from what would have taken 5 hours last year.

I'll figure out a way to display the car in a bit. In another craming session to finish the character model. The lag has gotten worse and I'll be staying up again... even though I was trying to avoid it.

Well I grabbed 4 hours of sleep (5:30 am to 9:30 am) and now have to go to work... then i'll be coming back and staying again... Best thing is... the hours fly by... maybe a little too fast. I would definitly like to get a job modeling though. I would get to listen to music all day and mess with my characters. ^.^ But with my work like this... would that be considered a work-aholic? Even though its fun to do?

I'm really not sure if that would make someone a work-aholic or not...I guess it could...depending on how far you let it go...

Well I need to stay up again but I'll be getting it done. Watched a few 3-d things and need to stylize more of my characters geometry. Still need shoes,socks, arm cuffs, and finish off the sash with a ribbon. Then various little tweaks to make it look better. When everyone brought up their characters though mine was one of the best again. If finished it would have been the best.

It basically comes down to this. there are people that seem to always shine. One is best with realistic, one is artistic, technical, stylized, and unique. I'm the stylized one since I obtained my drawing style from a how to draw manga book. Anyway, here is the progress so far. In Maya the ones shining are the realistic, artistic, and me the stylized. Render shots of car (plan on making a flash turntale for it later)   Character progress (texturing will take care of the the various X stuff)

Shiny for the car. It's a lovely looking Pontiac I might add.
The character, is the scarf you having to do it that way?
The eyes are freaking me out. lol I know it is still rough, the face just surprised me a little when I first went down to it.
The middle scarf/belt like thing seems misplaced since it is not shown waving outwards like that with Parsee.

They are just stretched out so I can uv map them easier. When I rig them for animation I'll curve them and such. As for the lower part, the sash, it isn't shown on the game screenshot, but 2 fan art ones have a kind of bow for it. Do you just want it not there though? As for the face, its just that the eyes don have pupils yet and with them as a focus with stylized characters... it throws it off. I'm lowering the poly count now so I'll be deleting most of the underlying areas that aren't seen. The uv mapping is due monday which shouldn't take too long... Ima estimate 10 hours. Plenty of time to spread it out and get my sleeping back to normal. sweatdrop I'll be deleting the skin/body areas and such later on in the night though... Too many lecherous guys around in this class. >.>
Thanks for the praise on the car ^.^ As I think I mentioned before, it was the best regular car there. The artistic girl did a futuristic hovering slug bug and the realistic did some sci fi mole driller thingie... None of the others really stood out from each other.

I figured as much. I do remember seeing a few with a bow like style at the waist but I think it looks better as just a sash like in the reference image you have next ot it. At any rate, good job. Σd(>口<)
One thing to point out, coming down from the sash, the lining for the blue part of the dress is white. You have it blue like the rest. I would also shave off some of the black part for the bottom of the dress since in the ref. image, it doesn't extend much farther from the rest of the dress.
Not all that surprised about the lecherous thing.
Even if it hovers, I wouldn't drive it because it is a slug bug... sweatdrop
the drill thing you mentioned makes me think of Gurenn Lagann. lol
Good luck on the completion, hope you can let the sandman do his job soon. wink
