Few updates of many, have to get the rest organized first....
i grew myself a proxy forrest
if there ever was a miracle, MR proxy certainly is just that. forget walking on water, forget feeding the 5000 (unless it was with MR Proxy high poly fish)
obviously not finished just yet, need to play around with some textures, some better lights, some more grass here and there etc.... - rendered in 2 minutes flat top quality, and theres another half of the forrest behind the camera after that, mahhhooosssive stretch of running space
and a dagger for the love scene. sorry about the kack lighting i just dragged it into my watch scene and changed the colours, and it didnt like the reflection on the blade much. i decided to go abit greecian/romanesque for the dagger. seemed to fit the whole scene genre a little more.

Character updates/lighting test
Character update: Face = final
happy with the design, i cant afford any more time tweaking his face. also sculpted a waistcoat, going back to the origional few designs. works much better for me as a character. still working om the shader.
Lighting Test: First scene. spoke to Martin today, quite happy with the feedback. all seems ok, only improvement is to put a slight highlight - very faint, on the bannister just to bring it out more. image has NOT been fusioned so hopefully when its all comped together it will look so much better after. quite pleased so far though - time to render the passes....

anyways after having the weekend off to spend some time with the mrs ive been powering through yesturday and today and been churning out some little dodads for my film. updates so far:
we have... arrows, bout 100 polys each. i can max my pc out at about 1.3million, and i dont need THAT many so all is alright for that. shader is just quick but what id like it to look like-ish
a shiney sword, just on doing the map for the cross guard
and a bearded character. not too sure about the beard though, its going to stay until i can see it with the hair and if it doesnt impres me il shave it off.
done with hair and fur, not too bad from a far, really obvious from extreme close up...
also, tattoos anyone? i got the inspiration from constantine - keanu reeves, not the biblical figure. i felt the character itself needed something to add interest and a little mystacism, even more so.
quick clouds test using afterburn. i wont take credit for this il admit i used a tutorial file and just played around with the settings, but just an idea as to how id like the roof of my war scene
