[bendikslyngstad]

good evening!

Im dropping by with a little wip screenshot, i started when i saw the challenge announcement, and this is what i have so far (its partly based on a self-constructed female basemesh) :

[bendikslyngstad]

a small uppdate, did some rough posing and created a quite simple shark model. I hope noone feals offended by the presence of nudity in these shots, im going to make it as discreet as possible.

[ashras99]

good going, hopefully no problem with nudity to anyone.

[chaitanyak]

considering its for siggraph i don't see nudity being a big problem here (just a hunch)

I love tha shark, great job with the lil anatomical details.

[bendikslyngstad]

another uppdate, did some detailing on the shark and made a better render.

[bendikslyngstad]

started sculpting out the main character. feal free to suggest changes, additions etc

[bendikslyngstad]

allmost done with the shark now, some final touches left though, + i forgot to add gills xD

[Artys]

It's beautifully... nice modelling and texture of shark. Want to see full pic.

Any update, as you know 2 days added in the deadline so like to see your finished entry

[bendikslyngstad]

Im still hard at work on it, been having some problems lately, but I'm sure I'll solve it some how. expect an uppdate in a few hours

[bendikslyngstad]

Ok its finaly done, a lot of sweat blood and tears went into this
I really learned a lot though.
It would be awsome if anyone had stereoscopic equipment to test my work on and tell me if it works allright.

Btw, Did u get my email ashras99 ?

[ashras99]

yes, we received your entry but you must cover the nipples with snake like in your concept and must send the 2 images separately and not combining in one.

Your hard work on the whale texturing is also not shown in the final image due to change in the whale's position

[bendikslyngstad]

Ok I will fix it right away

can u tell me approximetly how many hours i have left ? it takes some hours to render and compose it

[bendikslyngstad]

Finaly done rendering the uppdated versions, here is a lowres sample

[PoopaScoop]

Wow thats very cool, if we get and extension you should add volumetric lights piecing the water!
