[PascalR]

mudbox + bodyPaint+ renderman

33

[PascalR]

zbrush + photoshop

34

[PascalR]

old stuff done for Kaena, design by Tarik Hamdine.
3dsmax + vray (all done using 3ds boolean union - no Zbrush or mudbox at that time!)

35

[PascalR]

Here is a wip render of this creature I 've done using maya +renderman:

36

and final render:

[gkaine]

wow really great!

[PascalR]

thanks gkaine, here are some unfinished / rougher things.

[PascalR]

and a quick one done with gimp ... at work ...:rolleyes:

[iskon]

Great models Pascal. I like your style you have in your concepts and 3d models.

[ianucci]

I don't really have anything to add beyond saying these are fantastic :notWorthy:.

[James 72]

Wow this is all really impressive stuff : )
and being pretty new to Maya and 3D in general it's a little bit intimidating at the same time lol...
Awesome awesome work
: )

[PascalR]

Thanks James and welcome to cgfeedback! :welcome:

[PascalR]

a quick one, used Corel Painter:

[PascalR]

Hi guys,

I thought I would try to do quick sculpts everyday and see how long I last :)

Here is a first one, from a cube in Zbrush, 1h30 min.

Thanks

P.

[Addictive/LP]

That's a cool personal challenge !! So...we're waiting for today's sculpture! ;)

[PascalR]

haha I am already late on schedule as I couldn't do anything yesterday:banghead:

I might have to move this thread to my doodles board, if I keep post poning these.
Sorry no update for today:(

[gkaine]

haha, great work regardless of your lateness!

[PascalR]

ok, here is a new one, taken from one of my all time fav movie scenes ;)
Lots of rough areas(don't look at the ears), but hey it's my sculpt of the day (started from ZB box primitive) :p

Cheers

P.

177

[collings]

nice feeling, i like how you shaped his facial expression quickly :)

[Addictive/LP]

Yes indeed, it looks very expressive. How long to sculpt this one Pascal ?

[fclem]

Wow !

Nice work Pascal, I am looking forward to see the next ones!

[PascalR]

Thanks guys, I spent 2h30 on this one, could obviously spend a lot more time on it but I am going to move on and maybe try 3dcoat as I am seeing more and more cool stuff done with this app.

Cheers!
P.

[tonytrout]

Pretty rough for a man of your standards...he he :) Still I admire the resolve for this mad task you set yourself clap. I nearly recognise the face but cant place it, whats the movie?

[PascalR]

yeah, very rough, I just want to try quickies for a change.
Here is a clue for the ref I used:
http://www.markta.co.uk/alien/screens10/alien_256.JPG

[mjackson126]

good job. Likeness is always hard.

[PascalR]

thanks!
So I just downloaded the 3dcoat demo and did this..thing... as a very first model using this app :)

Don't ask me what this is , but this software is a lot of fun for sure!

Cheers and happy new year! :beerchug:

P.

184

[tonytrout]

My guess was Cornelius in The fifth Element so wasnt far off

[fclem]

The surface noise of this model is very beautiful and realistic.

It looks like a walrus skull... but I think it didn't brush his teeth often enough :rofl:

[PascalR]

thanks guys, here is a new thing done in 3dcoat. I am starting to love this app :)

187

[tonytrout]

Good to see you are having some success with 3Dcoat, being able to build volume is its strength but I found it a bit uncontrolable and the viewport shading a bit vague for judging form shape. Looks great for freedom of expression though.

[Billabong]

that is some very impressive stuff Pascal. nice job

-B

[gkaine]

great sculpts! i have a couple modeler friends who swear by 3d coat. they usually start a model in it then take it to zbrush after the conceptual phase. looks like a alot of fun

[PascalR]

thanks guys! I 've decided to merge this thread with my doodles ones, as it is kind of a clone/parallel thread and I realize I won't have time to model a head a day:(

Anyways, will post my next sketches here!

Cheers:beerchug:

Pascal

[collings]

your first tests with 3dcoat are terrific pascal. keep them coming :)

[PascalR]

Thanks Nicolas! I must admit, it is very easy to get carried away with complex shapes in voxel, so probably something I need to be careful with :)

:beerchug:

P.

[PascalR]

I am missing the inflat/bulge brush for organic shape, but still having fun with 3dCoat, here is a new quick one:

http://www.cgfeedback.com/galleryPascal/newAlien1.jpg

[ViCoX]

This is my fav so far! I really like the feeling of weight&volume on lowerlip and nose. : )

[gkaine]

love the last 1, great character/stretched mouth you have going on there

[PascalR]

Thanks guys, another quick one (quite rough). :)

http://www.cgfeedback.com/galleryPascal/pilot.jpg

[MiguelAngeloCBT]

Really cool this thread!
Love the choice you made: not going crazy into details, and just keep in the frame a nice design.

Show us more! :beerchug:

best,
-Malanjo

[PascalR]

Thanks Malanjo!

Here is a new one, no symetry used here

Cheers

[PascalR]

Voxel sculpt of the day:

http://www.cgfeedback.com/galleryPascal/busteOld.jpg

[collings]

great doodles Pascal, dig the last one :)

how much time did you increase the resolution on those sculpts ? looks like you hit the button a couple times ... just wondering/

[PascalR]

Thanks Collings! (and thanks for updatng the reference thread)
For the last one I was around 4 Million polys so I clicked on that button quite a few times yes :)

Cheers!

[Billabong]

These are really fantastic Pascal. I really like the last one

-B

[PascalR]

Cheers guys, here is another 1h voxel doodle. Trying to practice wrinkles in 3dcoat (still missing a proper bulge tool).

Cheers

Pascal

http://www.cgfeedback.com/galleryPascal/fat.jpg

[oglu]

hehe the last one looks really funny...
i like your voxel stuff... for me voxel are really hard to control...

[PascalR]

Cheers Oglu!

Here a 2 sketches done in Painter and gimp, never had a chance to finish them, one day maybe ;)

[sebcravoisier]

good jb pascal nice sketchs

[PascalR]

Thanks Seb, just started a paint over on this voxel sculpt.
Still very WIP

Cheers

P.

http://www.cgfeedback.com/galleryPascal/wip.jpg

[sebcravoisier]

great paint!

[arun nagar]

Incredible workclap

[mjackson126]

I'm glad this is the one you are painting. It's one of my favorites:thumbsup:

[haikalle]

This is my favourite too. It's really nice to see your way to build and work with your sketches. THis forum has helped me a lot to improve my workflow. Just keep us updated, please.

[PascalR]

Thanks guys!
:beerchug:

Here is an update on the skin detailing, still wip :)

http://www.cgfeedback.com/galleryPascal/wip1.jpg

[Manuel Poehlau]

A lot of crazy sculpts in this thread. And your renderings are great!
3dcoat gets more and more interesting with every release. Just the feel of the brushes are not as good as in zbrush or mudbox.. not yet ..

Great work! :thumbsup:

[PascalR]

Cheers Manuel,

Here is a quick mudbox 2011 sculpt started from oglu's base mesh, available from the mudbox download page:thumbsup:
I've been recording this one for autodesk, we'll see how it goes.
Still symetrical, based of Beethoven's face :)

Cheers

Pascal

1373

[PascalR]

a few tweaks :

1375

[leslie.button]

Very nice Pascal :) No crits here yet, he's looking great! Is this going to be Beethoven, or just based on him?

[phrenzy84]

Very hard to work generic features into a model. Your doing a good job of it. Look forward to more.

[Storm]

Looks great! Very nice shapes, looking forward to seeing some more ;)

[Manuel Poehlau]

Good start! I would flatten the temples a little bit.
Unless you´re working on a sneer, I would pull down the outer edge of the nosewings.
I also think that the skull is too small compared to the face.

[PascalR]

Thank you guys! And thanks Manuel for the notes, I totally agree on the temples, something I wanted to fix anyway :thumbsup:

I'll probably open a WIP thread for this one :D

Cheers!

P.

[oglu]

i like this one... keep on working...!
and good to see my head is usefull... :D

[PascalR]

Found some old stuff, while cleaning up my hard drives.
These were done with 3dsmax boolean operations in 1997-1998 :D

2749

2750

2751

2752

2753

[PascalR]

and some more Kaena stuff :)
2754

2755

2756

2757

[PascalR]

an unfinished drawing... oooollld stuff :)

2759

[PascalR]

oldies...

2760

2761

2762

2763

2764

[PascalR]

and more Gaina 1997 nostalgia :P

2765

2766

2767

2768

2769

[collings]

an unfinished drawing... oooollld stuff :)

2759


Oh pascal, this concept drawing looks great. it would so kick *** to see this one in 3d, cool mixte of organic and hard surface element :)

[Eidan]

great concept man! :bouncy:

[Storm]

Sweet, some cg history, hehe :D
I especially like the concept that Collings mention.
Hope you are gonna trow out some fresh doodles as well in a near future ;)

[majid_smiley]

great works man ! and nice history here...

[PascalR]

thanks guys!
Here is tonight quick Painter doodle
cheers

3636

[sebcravoisier]

i like the design specially the form!
it must be something but what?

[xada]

veeery cool to see old stuff. :drool: (you said "boolean"? wow! at these years, i was still working on Mac Draw!!)
I do like too the 'something' from tonight...but i found 3 heads...which one?? :D

[CristianRio]

Hi Pascal,
Great works here! Very nice concepts!:thumbsup:

[sebcravoisier]

the hold good tech for modeling boolean and smooth your the best pascal!
do you found it?|sculptor|

[ShamsArt]

crazy works here ! excellent !

[maurodelia]

Great concepts :)
i agree with collings, it would be cool to see that old concept in 3d

[PascalR]

Cheers guys, Mauro and Collings I am afraid it would take me too long, but I had that rough idea of a short film with this fellow riding the beast. At some point the rider would fall from the cerature, the beast would get rid of the tech stuff and we would realize they belong to the same species :)
Thanks for the kind words guys:dance:

[PascalR]

I had fun with doing some 10 - 15 min speed paintings yesterday.

Here they are :)

5397

5398


And a timelapse of the second one :rofl:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ituViwoYhyk

[maurodelia]

Love the mood of the first one.
reminds me that i need to paint o little more

[Kel Solaar]

Cool seeing some speed paintings ! We need more of those now :]

KS

[PascalR]

Cheers guys,

here is tonight sketch, spent a couple of hours on this one

5470

[Storm]

Nice design man, love his expression :D
Any plans on converting him to 3D maybe?

[PascalR]

Hey Cheers Storm, nah I am afraid I don't have enough free time to do 3d stuff these days, but who knows one day maybe :beerchug:

[BrettSinclair]

Very cool Pascal. I'd love too see what you could do in zbrush using the paint tools on a plane. Its great for just slapping shapes together and getting some ideas.

[sebcravoisier]

nice scketch,
Pascal R alien design what else!
hope you will find free time to make some 3d for you!
and for share to each of us!:bouncy:
(baka seb that's not english ??? baka???)

[PascalR]

Cheers guys, yeah I'll Zbrush a go Brett :)
Merci Seb, here is another sketch I did yesterday.

5490

[sebcravoisier]

great composition and colors but the "lair" seem a bit to luminouse nevermind i like it!clap
i have seen the interview section of CGfeedback what a good idea!:notWorthy:
here is a question for you pascal:
you seem to préfér painter to photoshop, why?

[PascalR]

Cheers Seb, I agree with you there is a disconnection between FG and BG.
I prefer Painter mostly because blending colors in Painter is sooo easy and fun :)

Here are two others :D

5575

5574

[sebcravoisier]

that's crasy! your so talented!clap
great to see your have time for drawing:
i like the suit the line is fluid and the smoky alien is pretty cool.:thumbsup:

[Intervain]

yeah I love the last one - full of attitude

[Faddledog]

Very nice work Pascal :) clap
It's amazing how well you paint ( the translucent effects !! )
The last one looks just great...beautiful lighting too.
I see you've been using 3dc - just to let you know that the latest versions are much much faster to use - but you probably know this.

Thanks !

[PascalR]

Hey cheers guys ,and thanks Luc for the tip.
Here is another one, like my 9 year said this afternoon: "that's the seaweed guy!"
:beerchug:

5606

[Ken]

love this one!
yeah looks like "seaweed" :thumbsup:
would be nice if we can see 3d version of this guy! it reminds me of character on Spiderwick.

[adamlewis]

Yeah the face on that guy looks so cool - gonna have to steal that idea ;). But seriously though, that would look amazing in 3d with a fancy shader setup for the translucency/subsurface.

[sebcravoisier]

you'r all right but,
don't forget the undersea atmosphere!
pleeease pascal!clapclapclap allez!

[ianucci]

Love those last two characters Pascal. clap

[Storm]

Love the last character as well :D
You've really gotta find the time to do one of them in 3D!

[CristianRio]

Hi Pascal!
Very nice Painting! Yes, I agree with Nishida, would be nice if we could see a digital version of this character:thumbsup:

[PascalR]

Cheers guys, will keep on doodling as soon as I get more spare time for sure! :)

[PascalR]

another rough one
6550

[BrettSinclair]

Nice depth and framing Pascal. Would be cool to see you take one of these further. Adding in more details and colours. I'm in the astronaut exploring other worlds phase. So I really like this last piece:)

[valerio]

all of them are amazing!

[PascalR]

Cheers Brett, I know I should spend more time on each piece, just need to do things quickly these days :) It's a shame you didn't enter the First contact challenge with your current project, bad timing :D
glad you like them Valerio :beerchug:

[BrettSinclair]

Hey Pascal, Ye I would have entered that challenge. But I already entered the cghub one hehe.

[PascalR]

Hey Pascal, Ye I would have entered that challenge. But I already entered the cghub one hehe.

hehe no worries man, our next challenge is going to be something people will probably like and it's almost ready to go :sw:

[PascalR]

Photoshop sketch of the day...

6587

[sebcravoisier]

nice color cool!

[PascalR]

merci Seb :)

[BrettSinclair]

Looking great Pascal. Will you ever build one of these in 3d?

[PascalR]

Cheers Brett, not sure at this stage I'm just playing around for fun And 2d is much faster than 3d ;)
:beerchug:

[PascalR]

another doodle, Painter for this little pet :)
6600

[BrettSinclair]

That things got one bad a$$ hang over >_<:beerchug:

[PascalR]

:rofl:it is not what you think Brett:rofl:

[CristianRio]

Hi, Pascal!

Excellent new sketchs my friend!:thumbsup:
We could do a challenge for 3D artists. The idea is to create creatures made ​​in pencil (traditional) or in photoshop!
That way we can know the artistic side of each artist.
What do you think?

Cheers!

[PascalR]

sounds good Cristian, will keep that in mind for future challenges,
cheers

[Grandizer]

those 1998 meshes look pretty insane for those dayz - no ZB :D - very cool
and I agree with brett - that dudes cooked ....haha

[sebcravoisier]

hehe no worries man, our next challenge is going to be something people will probably like and it's almost ready to go :sw:

you 'r talking about the Mass Effect challenge?
i want to add my french touche :D but i don't have any idea!

[PascalR]

come on Seb, I'm sure you can come up with a creature or a robot for the challenge ;)

Here is another painting using painter,

cheers

Pascal

6749

[ianucci]

Love the colours in that one Pascal. That guy looks very poisonous!

[PascalR]

hehe thanks man:beerchug:

[Storm]

Love the colours in that one Pascal. That guy looks very poisonous!
+ 1 The colors are awesome!

[sebcravoisier]

Thanks Pascal maybe i can.
you are drawing very well better than ever this one is really good!

[Kel Solaar]

Really liked the palette on the last one Pascal, colorful and yummy :)

KS

[idkfa]

Your work just kicks ***! Crazy sculpts and paintings :notWorthy:

[PascalR]

cheers , here is a real quick one from last night
I wanted to play with meshmixer but it kept on crashing as soon as I hit the shift key, so I went back to 2d :)

6796

[sebcravoisier]

it must be a SF alien with high-end technologie!
great! pascal!

[Kel Solaar]

alienoidSamuraiBorg :)

Are you planning to refine it more (Not necessarily now but in a later futur)? Could be a great creature :]

KS

[ulf]

ui, i like that last one a lot!

[CristianRio]

Hi Pascal!!! Crasy concept!!! Cool!!!

[Fess1001]

Very cool sketchbook! I really like how unusual everything is :D Also diggin the colors in your 2d works, particularly in the later concepts.

[PascalR]

one painter sketch + 2 3dcoat ones :)

7084

7085

7086

[Kel Solaar]

The sketch is neat Pascal!, Its maybe a bit right centered at the moment, some light splotch or something on the left top third would maybe balance and help the eye circulate a bit smoothly.

Cheers,

KS

[PascalR]

good point Thomas, at some stage I was actually considering extending the frame to the right side but got lazy :D
Cheers mate

[ulf]

i like the second birdish sketch a lot. cool concept!

[sebcravoisier]

Good alien's stuff!
Can't make anything good with 3dcoat, got V3.00 and i'm only using it for unfold uvmap, I' think i don't have the logic of the software.

But it's cool to see you making great models pascal.
Sorry for my unfortunate english!

[PascalR]

cheers guys, here is last night blob :D

http://www.cgfeedback.com/galleryPascal/blobRender2.jpg

[sebcravoisier]

a alien clamps for eating alien nuts! lol
great concept!
i like the dof effect.clap

[PascalR]

thanks Seb, a Photoshop sketch today

7188

[sebcravoisier]

Great lght effect i like the color.
You 'v got a lot of imagination Pascal.
love the inking really "réussi" cool
"c tres soigné aussi"
ps: i'm learnig zbush hard sufface, and it's very slow to render displacement object in vray.

[rasmusW]

great plant/alien creature pascal. the bird head you did earlier, was cool too. would love to see that more refined.

-r

[BrettSinclair]

saved into my astroNautica folder ;). Anytime you feel like doodling a cool alien forest please, go right ahead hehe.

[max-tx]

Great work Pascal!

[PascalR]

Cheers guys, here is another weird plant :)

8680

[sebcravoisier]

very nice!

[PascalR]

Cheers Seb, here is a real quick one :D

8932

[sebcravoisier]

thanks Pascal!
really original! I like the form.

[PascalR]

another quick one

9294

[Mrguy]

I really like the edge quality and opactiy at the top of the shot. Though not a big fan of the airburshy quality of the close buildings.

Also like the warm and cool contrast and how it's not overly demanding.
