Thank you! I am glad you like it that much!
I know it is Na'vi. But it is not allowed to have that as an DA title....

Could you explain foreshortening for me. I found no understandable translation to german!

Sepapa-san In reply to mike-reiss [2010-01-08 00:43:04 +0000 UTC]

Foreshortening is making the form of the human figure into a 3-d form on a 2d plane ( such as paper)

kiesu In reply to ??? [2010-01-07 21:20:35 +0000 UTC]

That's pretty amazing, but you got some parts wrong: Na'vi race has only eight fingers and eight toes, not ten. The ears are misplaced, they should be higher (ears lower part to eye-height and upper part to eyebrow-height. His waist should also be way more skinnier, he looks like he could gain a bit height too. Plus the light dots are not symmetric and do not follow as strait lines, and there should be way more of them in his face. Dig a bunch of screens out of the movie and you'll notice.

Thank you!
It is a 3d rendering. And it is a concept. It is not easy to transform a regular human male 3d mesh into a Na'vi. I had great help and support... We will try to fix fingers, ears and stuff for future versions....

Thank you for your detailed comment!

it's a 3D... not painting... it's not easy to make body morph... M4 character have 5 fingers... not easy to change for 4 fingers...
so when I created my character ... I put "avatar"... and not "NA'VI"...
but this picture is great ... no ?

I know. I'm not blind.
And excuse me, but there is both Na'vi and Avatar words displayed in the title, so how the heck was I supposed to know which one this was then? Avatar could have been either the sleepwalker or just the movie title. Duh.

Shure!
I just started with M4. I have some V4 renderings in preperation. But no final versions.

A Na'vi couple would be a great image. Face to face. I can nearly see it...

first time in three years?? oh my gollie ollie goodness!.. anyways.. my girlfriend and i snuck into half of the 3-D version it was SO amazing so much depth and detail and the animation was just fantastic! if you live near an I-MAX theatre they're showing it in 3-D there as well or.. at least they are in portland.(I-MAX has a half dome screen and the so the picture is amazingly huge, so huge it takes up nearly all of your peritheal vision AND it's in 3-D! i wannnaaa gooooooo!!)
