anyway have an updated crystal:

http://omicronwanderer.deviant...283790#/d5j9d0l

for those who want to check it out in blender, the file's there in a zip folder to download.

I've been busy and I have a ton of simultanious stuff I am working on for frixion incuding a really neat map that's coming along very nicely.

Looks good.

Extraordinary...
...

My name is Deborah Schneider abbreviated or Schneider45 on deviantart, I was the creator of character model "the legend of spyro"

Hello Schneider45 I am OmicronWanderer on Deviantart. I am glad to see you post here.

How is the modeling going?

anything to report from anyone?

I am currently working on the modeling the malefor statue for the temple. progress is slow.

No worries. Progress is slow for all of us. For me, things actually went backwards. I lost my copy of the script when my flash-drive got damaged beyond repair.

Aww...
Disaster here...
But there's miracle beyond disaster...
Don't lose hope...
I'm still waiting for it...
Even it finish next 2 year...

Aw man, that bites. Right now I am working on an art piece where spyros egg had been found and some different things. This will be done in a little while

Alright, good to know.

anyway bump

His head looks a tad wide, but all in all it looks great.

Ok was playing with the node editor and some textures and created a rather interesting looking eye for spyo.
It's somewhere between toony and realistic in appearence and I'm rather proud of it. My work with textures and materials is improving so I am rather pleased.

anyway will post it to DeviantArt tomorrow afternoon because I need sleep.

Cool! Can't wait till tommorow!

Same here, looking forward to it.

Hey, sorry... I haven't seen the film progress... So, how's the film?

About where It was last time you asked. We do have some new stuff... but not much.

alright created a new folder for the group called finished models:

http://projectfrixion.deviantart.com/gallery/40576341

in other words where any models that are actually finished is going to end up.

currently we have: an egg, some mushrooms, a spirit gem and the dragon temple exterior.

models are going to be in zip folders with all the textures packed so we can all download and use without much fuss.

I am going to redo the raft tomorrrow as it has some funky seam issues that no one has discerned how to solve which seems to be a rare enough occurence that it either isn't getting fixed due to that OR it is somthing that I'm doing wrong.

recreating will not take me long however. plus I am going to make it a bit higher poly to start with, which should cut down on the levels of multires that I need for the sculpt.

texturing it and working out the normal map will take a while so expect a link up late tomorrow OR a progress update.

Oh and if anyone wants to go ahead and plan out the areas around the dragonfly home that would be awesome.

just a basic sketch would be awesome.

and I also need to work on the malefor statue.

I have so much work to do........

Just dont do it ALL at once, take a break OmicronWanderer. You have committed a lot of time to be doing this, so take a break

Oh don't worry the so much work to do was a comment on my coursework.

art is actually how I relax.

Really, me to!

If only I could say the same. >.>

It's quite here...
Where did everybody go?

We've been working.

anyway uploaded the eye model to deviantArt and moved it to the completed models section



also made a new and improved raft model complete with textures and normal map made from a highres sculpt.

next up is a short squat mushroom.

and then comes this thing:



which is a major must because the original krome art crew regarded it as the symbol of the trilogy.

this should probably be the center of the grove where sparx meets up with spyro.

also if anyone has any experience with fluids or faking fluids with blender I would suggest starting to find a good material for the silver river.

Owh...
Hey, I remember that mushroom tree...
I remember it when Sparx say dragon with weight issues...
And Spyro reply with Saprx turned into lantern...

I've also see it scattered across the area. along with the squat mushrooms with the orange-ish cap.

Which the base model is done but I still need to finish sculpting it.

I am not going to work on it until about 2-3 hours later from the moment I post because....

//lame excuse ahead

I am going to study the modeling and animation techniques used by disney in wreck-it ralph.

Studying others techniques is never a bad strategy.

I have been going through rigging tutorials

Aww the Dreadwing looks so cute!! (Well they allways are!!) :3

So? There is absolute NOTHING wrong with that! Sometimes I look at others concept art or watch speed painting videos and see how the techniques and coloration and drawing and shading they do!

It is not a lame excuse because of that.

it's a bad excuse because I was going in order to see all the cameos.

all of them.

who DIDN'T?

a couple relatives of mine actually.

I want to see it just for the Sonic cameo.

I just want to see it.

Wait..Is this project still going on? I thought it died!
Do I need to repost my voice acting reel?

It's not going to die, not on my watch.

but anyway I have no idea on if you need to repost your VA reel.

I suggest Pm-ing it to Skijarama

It died for a little bit because i had some things that came up for 3 months, and ate up all of my time.

I made a little shutout video on Youtube just to help out a bit

anyway worked some more on the short mushroom which just needs to be textured and the sculpt to be finished.

fo some bizzare reason the comps at college handle sculpting better than my laptop. better cooling? more ram IDK either way they can handle a million polys easy whereas my laptop crashes and burns.

and the mushroom tree is still being modeled.

I also started on the adult cynder model which is going way better than I though possible. look like all the sculpting I'v been doing in real life has been helping a great deal.

she has this great sneer which looks menacing even without teeth

Well, it does depend on what kind of laptop you use and the kind of computers they use

Hey, guys... Wew... I'm sorry if I haven't seen the progress again... Anyway, I'll have an final exam tomorrow... So, maybe I'll be really seldom to online... So, how's the progress?

Well, you tomorrow, I'm yesterday...

About what you'd expect. We've got a couple new models, and some new members, but that's about it.

I seen it...
Shouldn't he already see it?

This project is still alive?

Damn. I remember when this was started almost 2 years ago. I was suppose to be a VA.

Yeah, I remember seeing that on a table on the website.

Gogo, I'll see forward for the movies...
Or...another trailer I suppose...
