Heil Buk-buk. This is brilliant on so many levels.

Kinda wish we'd gone with something a bit more whimsical now.

Thanks a ton, everyone!

I had family down for a few days, but oglemeanimations has been hard at work behind the scenes and I'm back to work too with chicken-plane! Pride of buk-buk's airforce.

Here's the hi-rez with floating geo in Max, possibly doing evasive maneuvers in a gif?
Who's to say what goes through the minds of a nazi chicken-pilots of doom.



P.S.- is there any way we could get the thread title edited 4realz?

Egads! Second page already. Tons of stuff in progress not ready to show yet, but to tide the thread over here's a preview of the normal-mapped and textured chicken statues on a wip base.

Very cool silhouettes on all of these assets. My biggest gripe would be the textures feel very inconsistent still.. Some feel close to photo refs like the brick sidewalk and the chicken texture, where the wood planks seem much more fitting to the original concept. I know lighting will play a huge role, but it doesn't feel like you're quite sticking to the color palette that you originally concepted; it should be closer resembled to the brightness of the untextured chicken plane right now (which is my favorite part so far) so the colors really pop once you throw in some faked HDR goodness. Keep it up!

Definitely all handpainted, no photos will be used in this scene. I think what's throwing off the textures thus far is temp lighting schemes and the diffuse of the cobblestones is too dark atm. What has been done thus far on the diffuse textures for the buildings is the same color palette as the original and will be for sure. The temp lighting just killed it..I'll update tonight when I get home from work with some unlit stuff.

Thanks for stoppin by Kovac and thanks for the crits, I'll definitely take a closer look when I get home tonight.

Excellent, I really look forward to seeing it. I agree with the self crits, everything just needs to feel soft and bright. Sure that counters the whole 'evil' thing, but aren't Nazi chickens evil enough??

Thanks for the crits, Kovac. And you are quite right. Any further attempts to augment evil in our nazi chickens have to be very carefully planned as to avoid threatening our very existence.

we're putting a statue of his eggcellency Buk-Buk in the center of the cobblestone bit.
I've got him up to this point, but I'm really not too sure where to go from here to be sure that he looks like the dictator of the other chickens. I've been toying with a few ideas, but any ideas for pose, accessories, etc are certainly welcomed!
