This is the final shot for my Wacky Races contest entry at CGAUTO. The idea is that the shot was taken from an old 1970's cartoon reel. It aged along with it, with its colors worn out, the film grained and scratched, and the photo itself getting shoved into drawers and under books. Like old cartoons that rerun on TV ad nauseam nowadays, without any sort of care given to the picture - or even sound, for that matter. ]]> Fri, 22 May 2009 08:50:26 +0000 http://edureboucas.cgsociety.org/gallery/765295

Yet another Wacky Races car, now for #7, the Bulletproof Bomb, driven by the Ant Hill Mob. Initial modeling was done in XSI, with some extra tweaks, texturing and rendering in 3ds Max. ]]> Tue, 19 May 2009 06:06:31 +0000 http://edureboucas.cgsociety.org/gallery/763545

This is a side project I've been working on for a contest from CG-AUTO, one of the websites I posted my Ecto-1 model on. The theme is Wacky Races, the 1970's Hanna-Barbera cartoon, and my car choice was the Covert-O-Car, #3, driven by Professor Pat Pending. Basic modeling was done in XSI and the rendering is being worked on 3ds Max.]]> Thu, 14 May 2009 07:12:29 +0000 http://edureboucas.cgsociety.org/gallery/761577

Hello everyone. I'm a native XSI modeler from São Paulo, Brazil. This is my first time posting anything to CG Society's CGTalk Gallery.

As a person who grew up in the 80's and 90's, it's hard to imagine who didn't love the action, adventure and fantasy movies from that period, like Back to the Future, Terminator or Ghostbusters.

As a challenge to myself, I decided to model to the best of my ability the Ectomobile-1, none other than the Ghostbusters' car from the film!

The Ectomobile-1 was born off a 1959 Cadillac Meteor Ambulance, bought for 1400 dollars by Dr. Ray Stantz (Dan Aykroyd) in the film. After extensive remodeling, the Ghostbusters finally got their ride!

As a learning experience to 3ds Max in order to expand my 3D programs knowledge, I took my initial model from XSI and imported it to Max for UVW unwrapping, texturing, lighting and rendering with Vray. I then took the rendered image to Photoshop, where I was able to bump the crispness and sharpness.

The result you see here was reached after two (almost three) months of work - and hair pulling. Good thing I got a fair amount of hair!

You can find a lot of the XSI WIP images I took in my CGPortfolio as well!

Comments are very welcome!

This is another one of the angles I rendered my ECTO-1 model, now in 3ds Max, fully textured. Now showing the roof details.]]> Fri, 08 May 2009 06:32:50 +0000 http://edureboucas.cgsociety.org/gallery/759614

This is the one of some work in progress slides for the Ghostbusters' ECTO-1 3-D model I've been working on for the past few months. The model itself is finished, but I wanted to show the process of building it.

Modeling was done in XSI. These are screen grabbed directly from its viewports.]]> Mon, 04 May 2009 07:23:10 +0000 http://edureboucas.cgsociety.org/gallery/759610

This is a side project I made in late 2008, using one of my favorite CAPCOM characters in his classic style.]]> Tue, 07 Apr 2009 14:56:39 +0000 http://edureboucas.cgsociety.org/gallery/679192

The base mesh for this cartoony Einstein was made in XSI, and the overall modeling, detailing and painting were made in Zbrush. The background was later applied in Photoshop.

This was made during my Zbrush modeling course with Alex Oliver in 2007. The main idea for this character was based off the many caricatures found on the web.

Comments are welcome! ]]> Fri, 26 Sep 2008 21:48:33 +0000 http://edureboucas.cgsociety.org/gallery/679060

This drawing was based off Jordu Schell's Scary Movie Monster sculpture. I took the liberty of chaging it a bit of it in my drawing, adding different feet since I felt that the original feet were a bit "too human".

I added a finishing look on Photoshop, with a bit of brown over the graphite pencils' gray finish.

All comments are very welcome.]]> Fri, 26 Sep 2008 14:56:15 +0000 http://edureboucas.cgsociety.org/gallery/679054

This is the same cartoony Einstein, but with an old photo style finish using Photoshop's brush set and color tones. The original Einstein had a base mesh made in XSI, with detailing and painting in Zbrush.

This was also submitted as my final project for Zbrush modeling class in 2007.

And comments are very welcome, yet again!]]> Fri, 26 Sep 2008 14:47:57 +0000
