Just something i whipped up

[Harquimm]

Hey all,

 

Just thought I would share some more fan art that I did in my spare time.

 

The first is an animated png image and therefore needs to be viewed in either firefox or opera. Also thankyou frans for permission to use images from your site.

I have also attempted to create a Firefox SQ persona. I have submitted it and am waiting their approval. this may takea couple of days.

 

Hope you like

[Sledgy]

Nice.

 

It's better than firefox persona version, because there'snt any menus on the top and other things here.

[Harquimm]

Trying to learn how to use Daz3d and was wondering if you wouldnt mind reviewing an image for me.

 

It is my first attempt at recreating the ape men from sq2. I know i still have work to go but any feedback would be good.

It's very good, I think. I'd like to see it with animation (Y)

 

Beautiful 3D picture.

[Cosmic Castaway]

The watermark makes is a little difficult to see, but I understand why you have to put it in. I'd like to see some more of it, it looks pretty good.

[jocolloman]

This is really nice! Keep it up.

[Harquimm]

For those who asked it is now available without watermark.

 

Thanks for the feedback.

[Harquimm]

Up late and bored so here is attempt 1 of the kerona swamp at night hope you like.

Not bad, a little bluer than I remember.

[Sledgy]

Generally it's nice 3d version of the swamp. But one moment is a file of the picture somewhy contains the 'kerona' word.

[Harquimm]

yeah i know i stuffed up. BT pointed this out to me on the infamous adventures forum. It was meant to say labion.

A ten second video of my Daz3d rendered apeman talking. The voice over was from sq4 and worked into the render using mimic pro.

 

The original version of this file is extremely large in size.

Rendered @ 2688 x 1258 and 62fps it was 317.52MB and took a total rendering time 17 hours 32 minutes 37.31 seconds.

 

Using Windows Live Movie maker I dropped the resolution to 1440 x 1080 and dramatically reduced the file size to 5.71MB. However due to restrictions on deviant art wmv are not allowed so i have converted it to flv via Adobe media encoder and the file size is now roughly 8MB. This in turn had to be converted to SWF via flash.

 

Processor: Intel Core2 Duo T6400 @2.00Ghz

Graphics Card: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330, 512MB DDR2

Ram: 4GB DDR2

OS: Win 7 ultimate x64

 

I seriously need a faster system to do this sorta work.

[Cosmic Castaway]

Damn, nice work. Hearing Garry's voice with the apeman's face made me think of Planet of the Apes. The old one I saw when I was a kid, not the new one.

[Datadog]

Ouch, man. 17 hours? You have double my processor power, and yet I could probably render something like this in 10 minutes. Check your render settings. For the purposes of this animation, a 640x480 render (or less) at 24 fps would suffice.

 

Otherwise, I like the model. Now I'm considering using some of Gary's work for my own reel when the time comes. The animation looks automated, though. I'm guessing you just drop the voice file in and the program does the rest procedurally?

Your link is break. New is http://wilconologist.deviantart.com/art ... ogist&qo=0

 

But it's buggable (it doesn't play to finish). Maybe you better to post this video to Youtube?

Thanks for pointing out the linkbreak to every1. :P Just curious where does it play up to on your system.?

[Sledgy]

Hm, now it works normally in my Chrome.

[Harquimm]

Just set up a new youtube channel and posted another quick animation.

More of the monkey men, dancing this time. There are a few flaws and no audio but as a learning exercise im happy.

Come and have a watch and tell me what you think.

 

Also check out my Tin Duck http://wilconologist.deviantart.com/art/Tin-Duck-V1-218488721

This was done using a modified version of the .obj file posted in the missing sq stuff thread. Thanks pcj.

[Sledgy]

Apemen 'girls' :P Superstars, etc.

 

Both stuff are cool. Can you post speaking apeman to Youtube?

[Harquimm]

alright

[Harquimm]

Just added one more to the collection. Tell me what you think.

[Cosmic Castaway]

Perhaps it's the color scheme, but the background makes the whole image look very busy. The pulseray model looks a little chunky, and the Sarien's skin appears a little too scaly. SQ1 VGA made their skin out to be relatively smooth, if slightly muscled. The armor looks good though.

[Harquimm]

thanks for the feedback. I'll give em another go and try to smooth out the skin

 

**update**

 

There are now a few different images with a smoother skinned versions.

 

Also just incase anyone is interested it was this picture that i was trying to do a modern remake of.

That dancing monkey-men video is by far the strangest piece of SQ fanart I've ever seen. Good on you, sir! ;)
