ianrite Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Hi Francisco, I like very much your concept image with mental ray. I'm working in a short film in a very similar way that you do. I would like to share impressions with you. This is from the proyect i'm working on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakky Posted October 12, 2006 Author Share Posted October 12, 2006 ikinman----> The idea of mixing old and futuristic buildings is a good one. Thanks! I begin the low poly modeling of Woolworth Building... thanks again! ShaunDon----> The scene is not yet complete. I've sunk Governors Island, sorry... but Staten Island is far enough to appear in that shot, I hope... And about Jersey buildings and Brooklyn, I upload an image with some notes... Sorry for the spanish text inside the tags... Free translation: "I've to put some buildings at the rigth bank of the Hudson Glacier" "I´ve to model some bridges across the East Glacier" "Buildings at the Brooklyn riverside". AJLynn----> Next level of detailling buildings is to break them. I'm not sure about the glacier pulling effect I want to achieve; the glaciers flowing on the river beds or glaciers invading the Big Apple... Thank you for your comments! ianrite----> Hi, Ian! Are you in Seville, Spain? I studied my carreer as an architect at the Seville University, you know? Are you talking about the toon concept with Mental Ray? I'm testing the final look of the project... wandering from cartoon to reallistic... I'm still looking for that. The image you've posted is pretty and suggestive, but too tiled and repetitive, IMHO. Keep It up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bovehein Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Hy everybody, I´m one of the fools that thought this was a good idea....... I´m in charge of modelling the ships that will fly all over this frozen manhattan and the landscape between NYC and DC (the name of our actual city, deep down the oceanic surface). Thanks for your advice, it does improve some of the ideas we had in mind. The actual look of the city wont be decided until we had some very basic elements finished. This project is gonna take some time to finish so bear with us and we will try not to let you down........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianrite Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Hi again Drakky, this is an more advanced version of my city. This is with greeble plugin and photoshop. I like your toon image very much, i'm interested in that look for my project. Me gustó mucho tu imagen con los contornos y mental ray, es una de las posiblidades que estoy barajando para el corto en el que participo. Pero no se como se realiza eso con Mental Ray Efectivamente vivo en Sevilla, y estudié en la ETSA. Tenemos la misma edad, así que es muy probable que nos conozcamos, aunque sea de vista. Ánimo y suerte con tu proyecto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drakky Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 I'm working on a new Manhattan concept. I'll show you the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pit Matson Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Hi Drakky, nice work all DC_project members team are waiting you (sorry, my english is bad... bad... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom_up Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Wow looks like a lot of work. It is looking good and very interesting. Good luck! How detailed are you going to get with each building? park? etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nazcaLine Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 i can't see the video, it says the user erased it. looks very interesting to me. one thing i can think of is that, being a city of the future, and being in what appears to be an "Ice Age", you could consider covering with a dome to protect it. this idea is no new one, it was proposed by Richard Buckminster Fuller many years ago. you could do a quick search in the subject and see what i'm talking about. very interesting job indeed. drakky, pit matson...correct me if i'm wrong, but i don't remember seeing this WIP in 3dpoder forum...

Drakky Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 all DC_project membes team are waiting you I know, I know... I’ll try to update as soon as possible... How detailed are you going to get with each building? park? etc. Shots won’t be too close, so we’re not modelling with detail. Large shots for environment at a city scale and landscape... I mean... windows are made with bump maps, not with geometry... and so... i can't see the video, it says the user erased it. Youtube videos are no longer available... sorry. Next updates are coming with some videos... be patient, please... looks very interesting to me. one thing i can think of is that, being a city of the future, and being in what appears to be an "Ice Age", you could consider covering with a dome to protect it. this idea is no new one, it was proposed by Richard Buckminster Fuller many years ago. you could do a quick search in the subject and see what i'm talking about. very interesting job indeed. People don’t live in the Future Manhattan. That city is a “dead city”. Inhabitants leave NYC looking for the heat of the Earth at Deep City. This is the story we are trying to build. drakky, pit matson...correct me if i'm wrong, but i don't remember seeing this WIP in 3dpoder forum...

Spooner04 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I imagine you are pretty far along at this point, but I would also suggest looking at the movie "twelve monkeys", which sounds like it might be a similar situation and also the work of the artist lebbeus woods. He did alot of futuristic conceptual drawings, I posted a few. Might be good for the DC stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
