Wow man, that's just amazing!!!

You make it sound so easy!
Maybe you could share the technique you've used to acheive this masterpeice!

If possible, in Maya with maybe MR or Turtle, or even with simply Maya Renderer!

Anyway, I give it 110 ou of 100 man! :eek:
Cheers! :lol:

Great work. Which software was used for the animation/ map-blending?

[ilusiondigital]

Great model and awesome animation.

Which software was used for the animation?, the base mesh is made at ZB or any other 3d software?

Greetings

Amazing work gabe .... your skillz are growing so fast ...

Can you do a little explanation about your blend displacement method ?
I suppose this is done in XSi ... how did you manage to have so beautifull result ... In my own test i still have some steam or wierd geometry problems.
Without the fur how long to render for a single frame ?

I have read that XSi 4 have some issus with displacement.

Anyway really impressive work dude.:lol:

[kostas_mavromatis]

i agree.i still havent solved all the issues with xsi-zbrush...
can you post some rendertree and setings?(if you realy did it on xsi,that is)

[stuh505]

Jaw dropped...this is REALLY impressive I've never seen anything like it!

I wish there was a tutorial for this kind of stuff!

You made such a cool movie though I have to wonder why you didn't bother even doing the eyes

[AdamT]

Incredible! Add me to the "want more details" list.

[sadicus]

.....wish i could be a Werewolf.
the arms and face design look great!

[bluebanana]

thank you all for your reply ,soon as i get back to office after holiday , i will make some image and explanation of my progress , happy x-mas and happy new years to everyone one .


And some detail , the low res mesh is about 5000 poly and done in xsi , displacement map was generate using zbrush , rig anim in xsi , render using mental ray . see ya soon

[kostas_mavromatis]

thanx,man!have fun and merry christmas and a very happy new year to you too!

[sumpm1]

those animated displacements kick ass. A1 on the animation job too. I love how he jitters as he flexes. It seems that this should make it's way into any pro pipeline since I think this character is almost of big screen quality.

Is there any way to rig the displacement animation to say the bending of a joint?

[nerdyneo]

a tutorial about how that was done would be fantastic

absolutly wounderful work

well done !!

[tranimatronic]

Ive just noticed the rib cage section of the model and was wondering if this was a morph target or something special in XSI ?? do tell .......

[bluebanana]

Hello , sorry be late , im totally busy at job , i post some image that i hope with be helpfull , i have try to explain a bit how my procedure , if you get any other question dont hesitate . sorry this is maybe a bit more xsi then Zb , i hope it ok .

sumpm1 - look for tension map(tensionmap.xsiaddon) on www.xsibase.com (http://www.xsibase.com/) i think its what you want .

Frenchy Pilou because im a modeler and not a sound editor ;)

tranimatronic its some animated displacement map , i post image now to explain it .

I have just made a plugin to allow you to do this kind of animation in Max very easily. Check it out :)

Hi this is the best forum i have ever seen. I saw that werewolf anim quite a while ago and when i set about making a model for my first attempt with zb it was with that inspiration in mind. Then, not only do i see this on my first day on the forum, but someone chucks a max plugin into the mix to help make it happen. Its amazing. I just wanted to say so. Great forum.:tu:
