Madamme Lupanari (CLOSED) (CLOSED)

You are not wrong, it is a madame

Now, a femme fatale dress....

Thanks Cosmic! i changed it a bit... she needs walk!

I need fix the feet... UV problem????

Hey beachlegs, I'm glad you like it

This character is shaping up beautifully! I can’t wait to see your final animation with the music. : )

I agree, I'm also really looking forward to seeing the end result! And nothing is lost or wasted, this is a showcase of your talents, and your character is still great as a still image, if that is what we end up being judged on!

It's a disappointment after a month of work, I really like Madamme, but I made it thinking entirely about animation, maybe I'll make some adjustments after the video, but right now I'm not in the mood.
Thanks to both of you, I hope to surprise you with the video and good luck!

Rigging and topology should count in the contest, but you're right, animation doesn't really count. Maybe you should've asked this at the beginning of the contest (this may've been asked many times).
You are saying, ''I really don't know what a character is for renderhub; I don't have the slightest idea... wouldn't it be better to call it a figure contest?''
Don't you think the title of the contest says this exactly, Character Contest (Figure Contest)? You're going for things not really asked for as an extra step and expecting everyone else to do an animation? Some people may not have the resources of a top processor or studio teamwork to do voiceovers for their characters, nor the time for making an animation, being just individuals participating. It looks like you have free time on your hands and looks like you were determined to do an animation in the first place. So you can do it as an extra step. This contest may be an opportunity for some, trying modeling for the first time, so wouldn't it be unfair to expect everyone at your level up in animation to come up with one (as clearly seen from your publicist experience in your gallery)? Sorry, but I wanted to point this out. There could probably be an animation contest if you request something of this nature. But then again, that would be an animation contest, not really focusing on individual modeling process, but rather a scenery, with more elements including props like spaceships flying in the utopic world.

I'm sorry my comment bothered you so much, I think a character is something more than a figure with a simple pose, but it's just my stupid opinion... Honestly I don't think what I said is meant to offend anyone, but I've seen it all here.

I also don't really understand why rigging and topology are used if it's not to animate the character... but that's also another stupid thing of mine...

Thanks for your valuable comment, mate

Ah, i work with a amd ryzen 7 and nvidia gforce 2070, i haven't more resources, I have used my voice for all the characters you have seen in my videos, the girl who is going to be the voice for my character this time is just a friend, my recording studio is a 50 euro microphone connected to the computer... bandlab cakewalk is a free program like blebder because I am poorer than a rat and I can't afford to pay for licenses or more modern equipment. What I do is very hard work, champ.

I agree.

But I don't think even Rigging and topology matter that much. Maybe it's about the design or the production skills. Maybe a mix of all the above.
I have made a complete character with rigging because I want to pose it. Also because I want to practice a new workflow and learn my new tools. This event has served my own ambitions as well .

What do I know!!
I thought reflections mattered in the last event but they didnt .

Forgive me for putting another answer here, but since this user accuses me of being a professional publicist with a great team behind me, so that there are no doubts I leave you the links to my galleries. I think that seeing what I have published here and on other platforms you can see very clearly that I do not make a living with this, I would like to, but I do not even earn enough for coffee.

I agreed with drjivago as he made some good points. The only important thing is getting the job done, nothing less or more.

I'm not talking about that, he's unfairly accusing me of being professional, of having a team behind me and of having resources that I don't have, a guy who knows nothing about me...
sorry, but what he's trying to do is screw me over

Some misunderstanding on your side.That wasn't an implication of you as a studio teamwork, I wanted to point out as in general speaking, making a whole animation is a burden on one's hand. There are many people involved behind an animation which may be seen like a simple process. Art director, background designer, animator, character designer, lighting artist and so forth. Besides, some other people have also made animations with their entry and they seem to be content. You seem to be almost halfway with your animation with a good model. Perhaps the wisest course of action at this time is to complete your animation. I would wish you good luck with your entry. Even having done this much is even admirable.

I accept your apologies, but I thought it was a full-blown accusation and I hope it is clear to you that I am not a professional and I do my work alone
As I said, apologies accepted, as I see that you work in Blender, if you need any help do not hesitate to ask me. I am not a professional but I know a little about Blender...

and forget about the animation topic because it was already a forgotten topic for me...

That's okay. Thanks for the offer too. It's important to realize that not everyone would enjoy devoting two months on an animation other than their model.

What animation?????

Animation, if one decides to do so besides their render. It would probably take that long. Meaning it's not an easy task. That's why people stay away from this.

for render... https://www.sheepit-renderfarm.com/home

Haven't seen this. It might work fine.

Works!

Thanks! Cloud based rendering should save you time and looks you wouldn't lose your renders halfway through being cut off, since there are machines along the way. You need to render other people's stuff to get points which give you priority on your own renders and if you have a real slow machine, the points you earn might be harder. Other than accounting for this, it appears to be a reasonable choice for a slower machine.

This is how I render all my animations... try it...

Thanks! This should be helpful with heavy scenes with longer animations. ....Good luck in the contest:)

Thanks!

Thanks Bonj!
I will finish the animation anyway, I know it's useless, but I've finished it... so...
I don't know if I'm going to make some modifications to enhance it or maybe add another character, I have plenty of time, the animation issue is what it is, it's my mistake and I don't give it any more importance, I've been pissed off, but I'm not one to look back, I hope you enjoy the video, it's very funny

Looks fantastic Vix, Awesome work
I don't see why it can't be used as proof of your technical ability. It shows the rigged character in motion.

Well done mate, enjoyed watching it, top notch funny Vid.
Watch out for those dementional dart boards

Hahahahhh, this is so enjoyable to watch! It truly adds a spark of joy to the contest. Well done!

Thanks Cosmic and Sen, I'm glad you had a good laugh. That's the point I've learned a lot about dangerous darts and little birds...

Good finish for your model creation. Well done.
Madame Lupanari's hair movement in this animation was just as good as the tentacle movements on the blue alien girl's head.
About the Negocionistas series. Stellar Denialists - The monolyth.
The part with homeless moonwalking guy was funny as he says ''You are (*mustards)'' rhyming swear word. Though I didn't get why he got so angry when he threw the bottle beside the monolith on the moon. It might have some connection to Space Odyssey I think. You've made a well determined presentation of your work.

Thanks. I'm glad you like it. And yes, the monolith episode is totally inspired by the monkey scene from 2001.

You're welcome. M. Lupanari really made a good addition to your space theme. We might see more characters joining in to the stellar series in the future too, maybe with some mischievous kids, gnomes, astronauts or even a practitioner. Best wishes with your future work.

Thanks Dr.

Good choice, thanks Jamie
