Two Loveable Characters

[DBH]

I've updated the original post with some new renders of the device. Enjoy.

Nice work!

Now do GPengu

...and so I did, so while I am padding out my portfolio with some more work I modelled these two little munchkins from the 2D artwork that PEA created. Most of you will obviously recognise him from people's avatars.

You can find the duo on the first page of the 3D section on my site.

If I get time I might do variations of them (sunglasses etc), but for now enjoy them in vanilla flavour.

EDIT: I have now updated the section with a 3D object VR of the penguins ! and for those who couldn't view my website one still is included below:

Nice job again! They look like toy figures.

 

[Yono]

How about a spin view so that we can see front, sides and back?

 

[reaper79]

Very nice, Very nice. If you do another, please let him have a scythe and a hood. I could use a new avatar.

 

[Paradox]

when i click the thumbnails the tennis ball image just flickers and comes back, using firefox..

by the way that mech looks nice, if im ever making a mech game your hired

 

[krosfyah]

Very cute.

 

[g4m3r]

Would it be possible to make a 360 degree model of a GP2X?

 

[Azalin]

Man, you have SKILL.

 

[DemonStar55]

damn flash, please make your website more accessible to non-windows users, or at least make it use flash 7 instead of 8...

 

[stormyandcold]

the yellow 1 is my favourite!

Sooo cute!

Nice work dude!

 

[garengarch]

nice job

why do I keep reading site as nicholas.PRISONonline.com
was actually scared to use the link heheh

 

[nickspoon]

I can't navigate your page on Linux

I'm sure it's very nice Flash, but my cursor disappears when I mouseover it. Maybe a direct link to the image would work?

 

[Parkydr]

I can't see it on Windows at work because I haven't got administrator access needed to install flash 8.

Flash sux, HTML rules!

 

[Eso Rimmer]

I'm using Opera with no problems.
The renders are amazing. I always admire admire people who can do things like this. But it shows me how lame I'm.

Sorry I'll look into seeing if theres a hard coding way to use the Flash 8+ options I used in version 7. If your still seeing a tennis ball on the thumbs, clear your cache please as I replaced those images with the Pengu stuff.

I could possibly do that, but my current model is too hi-poly to be used for that. I need to make a decent low poly mesh if we wanted to spin the device around in real time.

 

[BenScar]

You could cheat... Just allow rotating on one axis then take hi-res stills of you model ever degree
Load them all up and cycle though them, could even allow the user to conrol the spin rate...

Or I could teach you to suck eggs, which ever

 

[Jarska333]

Nice job again! They look like toy figures.

I'd buy a plushy.

 

[Guyfawkes]

I was thinking about adding the characters to a new game I am working on after DOND, the idea of the game would suit the characters spot on. Who was the original designer of GPengu as I would like their permission and possibly if they could draw the sprites for the game.

 

[DBH]

Im not too sure who the original guy is but from what I gather from the archives it is "PEA".

Anyhow I am rendering a 360 degree spin of the two together. I should have this on my site later tonight. Long render times...
