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

Ralph, I particularly like the armor detail/style in post #39... did you detail out the thigh and shin armor like that as well? How about the backpack, did you touch it to?

Update: Sorry Ralph, for some reason I was not able to see the image on post #38 until after I typed the above. I am able to see it now which basically answered the above. I love the armor on this guy!

Thanks Steve and everyone else! Again, your feedback and support is what keeps me wanting to make this project as good as it can be! :) More significant updates this weekend!

- R.
 
Looking forward to the next update. When you do this do you render everything together as a whole or as separate parts? I have no idea how this gets done.

I just left Steves build of his foam bio and now I see this-- I am wondering if I am even worthy to be on this place anymore!!!

The talent here is beyond  good, beyond great--it is stand alone the best around. 
Fantastic work here. When I get my machine we may have to talk about getting some files. Imagine this cut out of metal?????  HMMMM
 
Thanks so much for the support everyone!

Here's another update:

Starting to rough in armor :) Things I have yet to add:
- netting
- dread rings
- gauntlets
- gloves
- shoes
- elbow and knee straps
- tubing
- bone trophies
LOL...long list, but he's getting there! Definitely think the likeness is getting much better!

@ Eaglewood: It'd be awesome to see a full on metal version of my model ! :)
 
Sweet!! I have been looking forward to the next update. It just keeps getting better and better. Amazing work Ralph. I wish I had a better understanding of how to do this sort of thing but that is why we have you to do it and not me.   :)

Thanks so much Steve! Big update :)Imported the main meshes into 3ds MAX, and am starting to lay out (and redo) a bunch of his armor parts. :) Still loads to do, but it's taking shape!

I should have a movement/animation test up shortly after Xmas! :)
 
Thanks so much!

Here is the first frame of the Predator's facial rig test animation sequence (which hopefully should be done rendering tomorrow; in HD) :)

Instead of rigging his face with bones, I did all of his mandible and facial expressions using morph/blend shapes created in Zbrush. Video soon!
Also, yes, he is still missing a bunch of armor, bone trophies, and dreadrings :p I am working on it! :)
 
Okay... this is officially way beyond cool.

You need to just say "to Hades with anything else, I'm going to make a Predator fan film", lol.

Seriously. I am amazed at your work buddy. That is some high quality wow!
 
Thanks so much Reyals! I was thinking about doing a Predator animation. It would be a P1 origin story; showing how he became a hunter (Predator rite of passage on the Predator home planet) and lead up to the events that take place in Predator (87) when Dutch's team arrives.

I reuploaded the HD render of my Pred vid (plus a little background) to Vimeo. Quality has slightly improved :) Please check it out here:

Youtube's quality sucks, hopefully this is a bit better :)
