Spurred on by Patrick's awesome SD renders

It's a lot of old stuff, but there's a couple of snippets of some tests from Minty WIP, which might be of interest to the boarders...
Cheers

Thats really cool. The JD stuff is looking particularly good and Rojaws nearly brought a tear to my eye. So you're a Max user?
Steve, that is stunning mate. And the last 30 seconds..... WOW!!
Cheers guys,
Patrick, yeah - I've been using Max since it came out, and 3DS DOS before that.
Did try Maya once, but couldn't get on with it that well.
I do use ZBrush and Mudbox occasionally for detailing, although not a huge amount lately.
The paying work I've been doing usually involves little time/budget so I just keep my hand in with the personal work, it's also fun to see them translated to a 3D world.
The Dredd stuff is still WIP, but it's the most recent thing I've been working on...
thats some real quality there, the stuff at the end is espicially good, i really liked the judge speeding through the city. That Mega City 1 looks spot on.

Just had a watch, bloody brilliant - the Dredd stuff was fantastic
was there a bit that was used for monkey dust?
Cheers,
The Judge was a real guy (the one playing Minty, sat on a blue box with handlebars in front of a blue screen in a back garden), it works OK as long as you don't shift the camera that much, and it's fine for our purposes...
yeah, I worked on a few sketches for the third series of Monkey Dust, the b/w sketch was a war-room sketch about trains, there was a recurring character called Flashback Danny, and a couple of other bits.
My mate Nick did the 2D animation, I was just doing the compositing and 3D backgrounds.
Cheers

Gorgeous work Steve. I love that POV of Minty looking up at Dredd with buildings and a craft in the bg... How many working hours does a shot like that take to put together (even if you're calling it a WIP)?
It's probably a little under a day, although I probably spent a bit more on it since it's re-using assets which are built to a higher quality than needed for that shot (since the b/g is out of focus anyway)
Getting it roughly right is easy, but you can end up fiddling with it for ages...
Cheers
Steve
The last 30 seconds, my god has the new Dredd Movie got a benchmark to live up to. Steve the Dredd scenes are amazing, well done.
Well, my girlfriend was certainly a lot more impressed by me looking at that, rather than at the pictures of Goth Girls earlier(!)

Glad I could do my bit Matt :)
Wow, amazing work Steve.
The Dredd footage looks great!
Fucking amazing work!
Loved the robots and the poor cops who all get blown away except one. The Minty stuff of the H wagon coming in firmly smacked my gob with awesomeness. Really good and what a variety there was. Ace! Great music as well. :D
That is something. How's Staples' accent?
Cheers,
I'm afraid we've done a Dave Prowse on Greg, but he knew about it beforehand :)
Don't tell me he's form Somerset?
No.
;)
We've got a guy called Jared doing the dubbing for Dredd, he's done a lot of v/o work in the states, does a lot of work for video games.
Cheers
Steve
What'll be the final output resolution of the film?
Excellent.... I will be sharing the link
Garageman, it will be 720P at least, possibly 1080P
Fantastic stuff Steve. My boys were utterly rapt by the dredd-stuff and Ro-jaws. My wife is your biggest fan, and kept saying 'how can he be so good at all that, and so nice at the same time?'.
Which implies all talented people she's met previously are gits.
Which implies im a talentless fucktard in her eyes.
Hmmm... Wife! A word!

Cheers mate,
That pic of you in costume arresting her always makes me laugh...

Fabulous stuff, there are several things there that make me want to see the full length versions. Love the big robots and Rojaws in particular, and I can't wait till Minty's finished it's looks absolutely drokkin brilliant!.
Stunning work Steve. A really great mix of stuff but the last 30 seconds, YOWSERS! I'm even more excited to see the finished "Minty" now. MC1 looks spot on.
Cheers,
one of the benefits of doing it for ourselves, we can make it exactly how we want it.
There you go:

Cheers Emperor,
it's a tricky balance what to show, especially since it's a short - trying to get some interest but not showing so much that you've shown all the best bits.
Cutting a trailer's going to be interesting - I think we might end up doing something which doesn't include film footage for it...
Some how missed this thread until I saw this over at Bleeding Cool this morning. Chuffing hell that's great!
Thanks Colin, it will get better...
That's mindblowingly good stuff, Steve!
Thanks Matt,
personally I'm a little surprised you don't see more Tooth material being done in 3D, there are so many strong designs.

I agree - but there's a growing number of us now! Perhaps we need a dedicated thread, or one of those group blog thingies of which artists are so fond? We could exchange tips, show off, challenge each other and so forth. I've been at this for
years and I still consider myself a novice, but I've found that I really only learn something when I'm chasing someone else - jealousy is a great motivator!
Cheers,
Mike

A group blog sounds like an interesting idea.
There is also a general thread here where people can post WIPs, tips, tutorials, questions and the like (it'd be a start in drawing together the folks working in the general area and you can take it from there?):

As well as more specific threads looking at its of 3D work.
Cool, hadn't noticed that before.
