Okay did something in this flat style that looks like it’ll have a bit more ‘point’ then the hats. Unfortunately no Dragons, as you thought that was old. And none of the same mesh copied all over.

Buffer shadows again help with the perception of depth. And I know [Kothe] would like me to make new images the normal way but that’ll be for 2.44 (which is just around the corner) so I can use the new SSS.
Everything is made from flat objects, even the wall was made by arranging flat objects in a pattern then using the P.E. tool to curve it.

I’m not going to comment… I’m just going to sit here and wait for the first people to come and notice that none of the paper folks are wearing any pants… :stuck_out_tongue:

We should probably edit the title then to include the possible nudity warning.

Hey Dragon: I like it. Looks like a shadow box from construction paper. I like how the curve of the subway train echoes the face shapes. 5*

How could nudity exist on paper people? As long as they don’t include the you-know-whats in the meshes. Besides, Donald Duck doesn’t wear pants.:stuck_out_tongue:

looks like an elementary school kid’s arts and crafts project. the shadows confuse the image.

i was jk, CD. Chill.

To me that is almost an invitation to make a graphic demonstration on how paper people can have nudity, luckily I’m too lazy to do such a thing :stuck_out_tongue: And if they do not include genitals it’s supposed to be called ‘mild nudity’ or something…

but on a more serious note, I like the colours but it still misses something… mainly detail I guess, but it is an improvement, certainly concerning your previous work…

nude (nōōd, nyōōd)
adj. nud·er, nud·est

  • Having no clothing; naked.

The operative word here in your statement being ‘Duck’.

StompinTom: Yes I guess you could say that, same with all images in this flat style. And the nudity definition, they do have shirts, so you could say they’re at least half clothed.
Sandrew: At least you like it better then the hats.
PapaSmurf: I could’ve guessed you were joking, but sometimes I don’t get jokes too well.

i like it!

good textures

also i think they must all be wearing 1 piece bathing suits or something

I really don’t like this style, sorry CD.
I prefered your 3D art to this.

same
:spin:

I think this shows you got the style. Your next step from here would be a small animation, as this kind of style would work best that way.

Well i disagree with Microwave and Jeepster: i think your images are much more attrative since you took that “flatness” direction. Id like to see that particular piece devellop into an animation where we could see those frantic people moving…

Care to think again about that? http://espanja.org/system/files/images/donduck.preview.jpg (warning explicit content)

CD: you should move one of the arms and one of the legs of each person behind the main body segment. As they are right now is a little confusing visually.

I like the image. The shadows in particular make it feel like a good render. The only thing I don’t like is the people- They’re just a little too simple. I still have to think on a rating, so I’ll get back to you on that.

hey CD could you write a small tutorial on creating and lighting scenes like this?

I’d appreciate it

Wert: I’m not sure if it requires much of a tutorial, just follow these tips.

1). All meshes of any shape generally lack depth, they can be rotated and such if neccesary but that’s it. Some may have partial shapes or curves but not be closed.
2). Spotlights with very soft buffer shadows are used to give depth perception, and more for that then realism.
3). Avoid textures, for added detail add new faces.
