Oh! "Silver Tray of Cookies" so has my name printed all over it! What kind of cookies? Mmm cookies...

I'll also make an attempt on some pictures and picture frames, just tell me what the pictures should be of.

Anybody got that spider?

You get the cookies and tray. Any type will do. Yoop isn't fussy.

Don't worry about pictures for the time being. I have an idea to alter Yoop into her husband for a picture of the two of them. But if you see any landscape/sea pictures that might fit in then it could work. I'm also thinking of images of characters with moving/blinking eyes.

Here's a quick silver tray. I'm no wizz at texturing(<-Greatest understatement of all times), but I could try'n add some ornaments if that's preffered?

Now to make some cookies... First to model an oven, then some dough, let it render for 45 min and *pling* I'll have some cookies to show aswell.

-----------------------------------------------

EDIT:

Added cookies!

Now for the ornaments...

Nice tray. Scrollwork would be good.

Great to see you in the TWO project Joakim Nice tray. How about some chocolate chips in those cookies? I just love chocolate chips cookies

I can't help myself - How about more more cookies on the tray with LOTS of them with a bite taken out of them ? - as if Mrs. Yoop has tryed them and put them back...something, of course I would know nothing about.

Great to be here! Now about the cookies... I thought about making chocolate chips, but I ran out of cocoa... Ok, so they were just too hard to model! >.< I spent one hour and ended up with a sugar-cookies instead.

Nancy - more cookies to come, if I can get the grip of cookie-cutting and such to make bites, then bites shall be added... or removed... or... you get the point!

Sorry, I could not resist (can't get chocolate chips cookies out of my mind... yum ). Anyway, I got this idea of testing a Dark Tree material. Made a really quick cookie model just to test it out. The model is attached

Stian

[attachmentid=19752]

[attachmentid=19753]

I'm with you Ken,

I cant seem to get to the wiki "Internal error"

pics and frames my speed for now.

Still stuck in V12 for the moment...shouldn't matter for this small stuff?

Tasty cookies you have there, Stian... I tried to load the project, but it kept asking for a few files I couldn't find anywhere on my computer, so I'm guessing you didn't embed everything?

Anyways, here's the tray with some ornaments added to them:

PS!
The silly decal decided to create some visible clipping somewhere, but they seemed to kind of fade out with the specularity, or are my eyes cheating me?

I think I will try to model a mirror.

hmmm. Try this one. The zipfile contains the model and the materials


[attachmentid=19758]

Here's a first start.



Hand's will grap around the mirror.
I think it would be nice if the eyes open up when someone passes and than look at them.

Still a lot to tweak.

Russel

FABULOUS MIRROR! FABULOUS!

Wow, sweet mirror Russel! Love how the creature "wraps" itself arround the mirror.

Stian, found the problem, I'm not hooked up to SVN yet (if I'm going to be, I don't know), so I don't have the darktree materials.

Anyways, it's not like the cookies and the tray has to be in the same project, do they? So just slap them trough to SVN and they'll meet the tray sooner or later.

Ok I'm starting the spider tonight. Are there any concepts already for it? Do we want Tarantula'ish, Widowish or like the one in Lord of the rings. Sinister or friendly. I guess I'll start it and go for semirealistic and adjust when I see a reply. Thanks.

That is in fact outstanding!
Should fit right in.

You make me wonder if as the mirror's eyes open we might see in the mirror the view of our heroes from his perspective? It would be dim... cloudy... through a glass darkly type of thing... you know what I sayin'?

Just a thought inspired by your wonderful model.

I could also handle that bug (beetle, Mantis?) since I have all these legs laying around.. and if there are any concept sketches on the stair and stone walls I'll take a crack at it. If that's not being a model hog!

Did you watch the animatic and design links in the first message of this thread? Or are you asking for more designs? We could ask Alain to sketch something up if you need it?

Sorry Martin, I leaped before I looked more carefully. I'd like to take a crack at that stairs and stone walls. Didn't see any ref's of the spider (not sure if I am going too realistic). I'll go study it some more.

In the animatic there's a bunch of scary creatures that surround Tin Woodman, Scarecrow, and Woot. There's also a flying bug that Woot's cookie turns into. I'm not sure what exact "spider" Ken is referring to? I'd say, pick any scary creature that might be a "spider" and do that - it counts.

Just downloaded all the animatics. I just saw a spider on that list and thought "that's me" I'll edit those images of the spider and that post as soon as I get a better idea of where I'm going and have something to replace them with (soon). Thank's

How is this for a rough wrought iron picture frame
(frame only)

[attachmentid=19797]
More trim?

Or did you want wooden frames..?

Good. The "wrought iron" look isn't coming through?

Are those eyeballs at the top? If so, use the "Uber Eye." The chains look good. They might be a good opportunity for you to learn how to use dynamics to make them wiggle, (or not, if you think you'd be over your head). Maybe somebody else would like to put dynamics on the chains?

You could try both; post them here and see what other people think?

Experiment.

OK.... Just to show that I'm finally getting on the right track. Still moving things around to look more like the one in the animatic. Hopefully you guy's can take a breath of relief!

Ken,

After watching animatic, I'll try the simple candle stands throughout the castle... and perhaps one of the pix frames and pic...

kay?

Charlie

Awesome spider Scott

WHEW!!! Thanks Jage, Here's a color shot just to see how it looks blackish. I seem to have normals that keep getting flipped on 5 point patches. You can see an anomaly in the left eyebrow (like a crease) and I have'nt had this problem before. I can try some sparse hair on this thing and it's also gonna get a decal for the spot on the abdomen as well as a bump for the body texture and facial textures.

Here is version 1B

[attachmentid=19818]

c&c ?

OK, here's a first textured version of the mirror.



I have to find a way to get rid of those artefacts next to the eyes. I think they are due to the displacement map and the 5-point patches. But strangely the only appear at these 5-point patches and at none of the others.

Russel

I was out of town for the weekend - so just now getting to respond to this. I would be willing to take the stool and wardrobe.

Any special directions for these?

Thanks.

Go.

I have a design suggestion if you'd care to implement it.
It's something to subtley effect the the viewer's mood.

Its the old 'Is it a vase or is it a person?' illusion... and I think it could be used in patterns throughout Yoop's Castle. Think about it...

Candle stands.
Vases.
Columns.
Bannister supports.

This theme would in effect add thousands of 'invisible' faces to effect the mood.

I did a few simple tests as a proof of concept.
I'll refine a bit and post them here.

If you're looking for another assignment, the first message has been updated which lists the models needed. Please post what you want to do and your progress here.

Here's the proof of concept.
Obviously there would be a lot more variety in shapes, textures and shadows.

Top is Ken's original set.
Bottom the basic idea for face shapes in columns, bannisters, wall enclosures etc.
The scale of 'invisible faces' wouldn't necessarily be as large.
The real trick would be in the staging, lighting and position relative to our heroes.

Edit: Russel that Mirror is looking sweet!

Yep. The mirror looks cool, Russel!

I love your mirror Russel -

it would be funny if there were a scene that when Mrs. Yoop looks into mirror or passes by it either:

a) the mirror cracks & screams in horror and puts it's hands up to hide its eyes

EDIT: and maybe the mirror part crashes to floor with a loud noise as the hands release it

or

B) mirror reflects some sexy thin babe (like a funhouse mirror)

Hi people:

I feel very happy by being able to participate in the project

I would like to model this (by now):

- Winged, Horse-Legged Demon
- Ogre on Pedestal

Is this the Ogre?:
http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?act=A...st&id=10592


Regards,
JM.

Got it.

Yes

Cool!

Russel, That mirror is cool!

Not just an Ogre... That's Mrs. Yoop's relative frozen in stone!
So you can use the Mrs Yoop model as the basis for that one.

No special direction (did you watch the animatic?), just go.


What's the blue? Is that where a picture goes? If so, find something ghoulish and put it in there (no copyright violations, please), or paint something yourself?

Does the wrought iron have it's "specular" value set?

Hi,

i would like to apply for the hooded demons. They seem to be quite interesting creatures.
Cheers,
Heiner

I am not quite sure what Yoop Castle Interior 4 (Outside Kitchen) means. Is it the set in front of the kitchen door?

Any way I was a little bored during lunchtime and so I start modelling this:



But I thinks this would fit better into the set thread.

Russel

Another great model! Where have you been? Neat stairway.

.... yeah, a little bored during lunchtime .... that was a good one ... ^^

Yup, that's the right set. I think the door will have to be larger to accomodate Mrs Yoop. Alain's drawing calls for a well but some kind of enchanted fountain would fit in there.

Nice result for a lunch-time project. Keep it up
