Totally agree. I think Barbult would make a great 'Childrens Book Illustrator' and 'Storyteller'.
The clothes are a rework of his cowboy pajamas. The pose really stretched the shirt in difficult ways. I needed to add some corrective morphs, but I couldn't remember how to link up a clothing CBS to a figure bone rotation. In the end I just dialed my morphs by hand. Maybe body paint via geoshell would have been an alternative idea to investigate, but I was all in on the clothing fitting.
Edit: In the light of day, I realized what I was doing wrong with my CBS ERC Freeze. I was freezing from the clothes, not from the rotated Richard bone. So now I have it working.
Please take no notice of me. The clothing looks tailor-made and absolutely top notch.
I was just being witty, me being a Brit :-D
The stripes look great, a pattern like that is often very distorted once you start stretching and morphing clothing. It would be great if there was some utility available for Studio that could relax UV's ( not moving vertices, but instead changing the UV coordinates of the mesh to compensate for the difference between the initial mesh shape, and the current mesh shape, to keep the relative sizes of pixels across the mesh consistent ( if it worked it would correct the texture distortion on large vs small breasts, for example).) I've done it in external programs with mixed results. The edges of each UV island have to stay fixed, but the UV coordinates within an island can move to even themselves out. I can see it in my minds eye, but turning it into words is difficult.
Yes, barbult, that is indeed excellent and entertaining work.
There is Curious George. I could have Reckless Richard. I like alliteration, and he does seem to throw caution to the wind.
Yes, I think I'll work on a Reckless Richard render.
OOF!
That little bike was still too big for Richard. Once the pedals reached the neutral point in the stroke, Richard had no more leg length to pedal. The onion sack was way too big to balance on the little front basket. The sack leaned against the handlebars and as soon as Richard tried to steer, everything, including Richard, tumbled to the ground. His black beret went flying. Onions rolled all over the place. Only Evil Onion stayed within reach. Mice came from all directions to gather onions for dinner. But there were no tears. Richard is not a cry baby. He will face his next adventure with as much confidence, bravado, and recklessness as ever.
(Thanks again to Other-Richard for the useful flat cat pose used here.)
You know your onions! (is that an expression in use in the US?)
LOL!
Hmm, perhaps I need to bribe other-Richard to do some triumphant cat poses. And hope they don't come before a (prat)fall.
The explanation for thefal sounds all very plausible, but I do have an excelent sense of balance so I suspect the truth is that Evil Onion threw its weight to one side to trigger the tipping point.
I'm always amazed at how you capture all the elements. We have an extra beret. Maybe they are multiplying like mice!
The shifting Evil Onion was my first thought, too, but when I looked at the untenable pose I put you and the onion sack in on that bike, I decided there was no recovery from that. More Other-Richard poses would be very welcome. I've found a good use for several of his poses already. I suppose we could work some triumphant cat poses into the stories. I remember that you were quite happy with the seafood feast after Rob slayed the specimen. Not every adventure ends badly. You did meet Lola in jail after the hosta heist with Jack, and you did get to demonstrate your many excellent skills. So there is all that.
Oh, I have no doubt that in the long run I will have many more triumphs than debacles. It's just a question of how fast the long run needs to be.
Every day you stay out of jail is a triumph really
. Perhaps an appropriate wall chart is in order 'Richard xx days without being locked up' where the xx has those little hooks that you can hang number cards on. I think two hooks would be sufficient.
if not over-generous, at least if we are talking about taken in for questioning
Richard Should Have Been Home By Now
Lola: Where is Richard? He should have been home from selling onions by now. I sure hope he doesn't bring any of them back with him. We have way more than enough here already. Gosh, I hope he hasn't been arrested again! He's got 3 police-free days under his belt. It would be a shame to have to start over again.
That's a strange image, my first thought when looking at it was that it was AI generated, mainly owing to how Lola looks, but then I can se legible writing on the cans, so that makes me think it's a 'proper' render.
If it is a pure render it's extremely well done, the lighting is perfect. I see Richard has his count up to three "Well done lad!" as Wallace would say.
On different topic I was searching for something yesterday, I searched everywhere and wouldn't you know it, it was in the last place I looked! That got me thinking that things will always be in the last place you look for them, unless you keep looking for them after you found them, which would be weird.
I had sort of hoped we would see more of Richard hawking his onions on his little bike, since the first image was so engaging, but I realise it would probably take up a lot of time, Still it might be nice to make more use of the effort you put into getting him dressed up and on the bike. It really felt like the start of a mini adventure ( by which I mean not involving explosions, police, or chaos, but a nice charming story. But of course it's your story, and I'm only here as an observer)...
I in turn was inspired to mention it because I was thinking about those safety signs you see in films 'XX days without an accident'. Why Richard would get me thinking about accidents I have no idea
Maybe Richard could get 'stabilizers' for his bike, those little wheels on rods that stop a bike tilting sideways more than a few degrees, the kind of thing you use for children when they are learning to ride.
Lola looking tasty as ever I see, and I truly mean that even compared to fried onions!
Lola should know that I always land on my feet - it's just a matter of how many times I bounce first, and what is under my feet in the end.
Original render, before Lola got the AI face and hair beauty treatment.
I like the original as much as the modified one.
It really was a subtle change.
I like the expression best on the original, which does appear to have been lost very slightly in translation to AI.
That said, I think the AI made the mouth look a little prettier.
