New Member - Predator (p1) 3d Animated Project!

[R Sutter]

Hey guys!

I've been lurking in these forums for quite some time now and finally decided to break the ice and create an account today. While I am initially looking to begin my Predator costume sometime soon, I also just started working on an animated project of the Predator and I wanted to share it with you guys.

My plans are to model, rig and animate the original Predator (as seen in P1). I was thinking of making an animation of the final battle sequence from the original film through Arnold's point of view. So in the short, you essentially are Arnold battling the Pred.

Here's an older character turntable:

Here's a more recent turntable:

And here's the latest image:

Still very early on in the process, but your crits and feedback would be greatly appreciated! Also, I'm looking forward to being an active member on these boards and starting my costume soon!

Oh wow!!! I love the digital animation stuff. Really great comparison.

With those skills, you have open opportunity to create a custom too. Great work none the less.

 

[JehdinThwei]

Agreed. Killer stuff!!!!

 

[R Sutter]

Thanks guys! Glad to be part of such a cool community!

I'll definitely keep this thread updated

[botman]

[R Sutter]

Thanks gentlemen! Glad I can share it with a group of hard-core fans like myself

Ok you didn't break the ice you pulverized it.......welcome to the lair

i love the textures that zbrush allows you to sculpt on the, can you render out a translucent version?...i would love to see the displacement and refraction behind it.

excellent work overall.

yes i am a 3d artist as well but i work more in the architectural and retail environment

 

[R Sutter]

Firstly, thanks so much for the kind words! And it is cool to see another 3D artist on here

I'll definitely have a translucent shader on there once I pop him into MAX. I was actually planning on doing an initial rig/map/shader/animation test this weekend to see what he looks like in that 3D package. So I'll sneak in a shot with a translucent shader for you

Here's a pretty significant update:

Hope you guys like it!

 

[JehdinThwei]

That is amazing. Great work!!!

 

[R Sutter]

Thanks so much! I can't wait to finish him up and make him move

 

[JehdinThwei]

Thanks so much! I can't wait to finish him up and make him move

And I know I am speaking for others as well as myself, when I say that we can't wait to see that as well. It's looking killer!! Animated might be too much awesomeness for us to handle lol :-D

 

[R Sutter]

With so much awesome-sauce in this forum, I highly doubt that! Ty though

Here's a fully body WIP shot:

 

[REYALS1]

Whoa, whoa, WHOA!!!

Did you say animated???!!! Man, if you did that I am quite sure this place would erupt into a total chaotic frenzy of PREDATOR geekdomism... or something like that.

In fact, I am geeking out as it is from the pure awesomeness that you have displayed.

 

[R Sutter]

Thanks so much for the words of support! Glad to be able to share this with you guys!

Here's some more progress:

 

[REYALS1]

You're lucky i'm not the Kool Aid Man... you would have some repairs to do to your walls from me busting through them and yelling... "OH YEAH!!!!"... at you.
