This has been one of the most laborious retouching that I have carried out. the crackled surface prevented me to simply deform the factions, so, in essence, I need to repaint the entire face, hair and some parts of hands

Posted in Muy Interesante spanis magazine, to illustrate an article on anti-aging therapies.

... or, if you prefer a common name, this bug is the Fantastic Green Lacewing with Diogenes Syndrome. The insect is a extinct specie of 110 millioms years ago, preserved in Ambar. You can see the details in http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.pnas.org/cgi/doi/10.1073/pnas.1213775110

Two years ago I received a proposal of R. Pérez, paleo entomologist in the University of Barcelona, for make a illustration of this beast. I offer to make a 3d model because is a better way for make a detailed recreation and we can also try a motion scene.

It was a free of costs work, because they don't have budget for, thus I model the insect in my free time. I need two weeks for the sketchs you can see in this post, and two months for the finished mesh. Working full time I suposse that I could have done all the work in three weeks.

Mesh needs 83000 polys, 31 layers and 52 weightmaps

ALso you cant see a little vido of this beast in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldIZSQcZONk

This is the first of three splash pages I make about urban legends, for the Muy Question and Answers spanish magazine. In this image you can see the next legends:

– Energetic drinks increase the body muscles
– Frog and toads can produce warts
– The nose grows if you touch it too much
– To eat carrots improves your night vision
– Dead's hair and nails continue growing
– To take a wallet in the pocket can produce sciatic

3dModel of the Sevilla's Mosquee I made for Muy Spanish Magazine. 1.4 m polygons and procedural textures, except for tree leaves.

Today, the Cathedral in Sevilla includes the mosquee toqer (La Giralda), the trees square (Patio de los Naranjos) and a little part of interior (Capilla delos Reyes Católicos)]]> Tue, 28 Jun 2011 12:02:03 +0000 http://japa2.cgsociety.org/gallery/984413

I model this woman figure for one historic project, a exhibition about 1808 May (for british people, the Peninsular War; at Spain, our Independence War). The maja version was the narrator of the story, and the marquise version was a supporting character.

As usual, model/weight work (subpatch) in modeler, rigging/motion work in Layout.

Maja version has 4600 polygons, and marquise needed 5500.]]> Sat, 04 Jun 2011 06:46:06 +0000 http://japa2.cgsociety.org/gallery/973986

While it tried to surprise a young dacentrurus, one ceratosaurus discovers that isn't a good idea to approach these animals by behind. You almost can ear the voice of dacentrurus, shouting, Eat my thagomizer, you butthead!

You can see in my gallery the basic ceratosaur and dacentrurus I model for this scene. Background is a composition of various pictures. I render two times the scene, with two blurmotion levels, and compound in photoshop.]]> Thu, 21 Apr 2011 09:41:26 +0000 http://japa2.cgsociety.org/gallery/973779

The big game! I use the 3DCat Rex http://3dcat.net/shop/shop.html and the DR Pentaceratops http://bit.ly/eopoZc .
I add feathers with sasquatch, and make a remodelation of Penta's head for adjust to Torosaurus style, because Pentaceratops don't live at same time than rex.

I need to render the scene three times, each one with different motion blur, and compund the three in photoshop. Next, I adjust shadows and lights for integrate with the background.

My new dinoseries, hunter and prey. I try to recreate the death of famous Gobi's Dinofighters. The two beasts are of my own hand. Model, texture and scene in Lightwave, feathers with Sasquatch. This image was published in Muy Interesante Spanish Magazine.

Velociraptor was a little dromeosaur, only 2 m tail to nose. Protoceratops was a little ceratopsidae, maybe similar in size to a wildBoar]]> Tue, 19 Apr 2011 20:15:55 +0000 http://japa2.cgsociety.org/gallery/957724

Dacentrurus was a mdium size stegosaur from later european jurassic, very similar (but bigger) to kentrosaurus or Jiangjunosaurus. I model this beast like a prey for my ceratosaurus. The subpatched mesh have 7542 polygons. Like in ceratosurus, I buy the Dinoraul Kentrosaurus (http://www.daz3d.com/i/3d-models/0/kentrosaurus?item=6774&cat=&_m=d) for use the color map, and add my own bump, displacement and specular maps.
You can think, what the hell you simply don't use the dinoraul meshes?. Problem for me is that they are frozened Poser Models, and it's too hard to morph and to modify for use bones and weight maps. To model my own subpatched beast requires more time and work, but the finished mesh is really more usefull, mainly for animate.]]> Tue, 15 Feb 2011 05:06:57 +0000 http://japa2.cgsociety.org/gallery/957469

For my dino project, I need to build a scene with the theropod ceratosaurus and the stego dacentrurus. As usually, I work in subpatch mode: my mesh have 7276 polygons. For save time I buy the excellent DAZ Dinoraul ceratosaurus (http://www.daz3d.com/i/shop/itemdetails/?item=7409) and adapt his colour map to my own UVmap, with changes, mainly in contrast area.

You can see, top from above, the side polyflow and the UV Map, the model with bump and displacement maps and the full textured version]]> Mon, 14 Feb 2011 05:01:53 +0000 http://japa2.cgsociety.org/gallery/947340

I try to show in this image the weapons and clothes of Ramses II and one egyptian infantryman in the battle of Quadesh. I use the excelent warrior pharaoh pack of adh3d
( http://market.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/index.php?ViewProduct=79906&keyword=pharaoh ) with the Michael 4 mesh. First I open two michaels in Poser, and modify for obtain two different male types (the medium egyptian male and Ramses, that he was a very high man), load the basic clothes (Crown, hat, soldier skirt and ornaments) and weapons (sword, spear and shield) and finally export all meshes to obj. Next I open the obj. in Modeler and add new parts: the bow and arrow, breast cover for soldier and complex tunic for Ramses. Finally I render the scene with some radiosity and hard area lights.

This illustration was publshed in Muy Historia spanish magazine, Pharaohs issue (dec. 2010)

The Maison Carree (the square house) of Nimes is one of best examples we know of vitruvian roman temple. The temple was builded for Agrippa and dedicated to Augustus, Livia, Gaius and Lucius (Agrippa sons and Augusto grandsons). I make the model and renders (5000 pixels sixe) in Lightwave. Mesh has 1285114 polygons. I only used procedural textures and loaded the soldier models for size comparison.

For interior details I loaded some commercial sculpture meshes.

The image was published in Muy Historia spanish magazine, Imperial Rome Issue.]]> Sat, 02 Oct 2010 02:40:19 +0000 http://japa2.cgsociety.org/gallery/918246

The new star of Spain dinosaurs: Concavenator corcovatus (Pepito, for friends). I work for this model with the paleo team that discovered the beast, seven years ago.

As usual, Lightwave subpatched model (7200 polygons) and multilayered (six maps for color, bump, displacement, specularity…) UV texture]]> Fri, 10 Sep 2010 14:46:47 +0000 http://japa2.cgsociety.org/gallery/913737

For this scene I look for a nesting king crane image and erase the bird. Next I pose the dino models (dinoraul Citipati mesh http://market.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/index.php?ViewProduct=77984&Start=31&vendor=65979 exprted to lightwave. I dont like Poser models, but dinoraul is a good modelmaker) and prepare a sasquatch layer for feathers. I make the scene composition in layout and the postrender in photoshop.

I look for bird pictures with telephoto lens, for see the blur effect when you make a picture to a big distance, and try to obtain the same effect.]]> Wed, 25 Aug 2010 10:24:19 +0000 http://japa2.cgsociety.org/gallery/913531

For this image I use my own velociraptor model because commercial velos don't like me. Model, render and feathers with Lightwave and Sasquatch. Postrender work in photoshop.

I start another dinoseries, this time is Feathered dinosaurs. For first image I used the classic 3dCat rex with sasquatch feathers. I used a forest background for play with lights and shadows.

This was the cover image for Muy Extra winter magazine. I use the V4 model of DAZ, with the Valeria/Roxanna morphs. I render in LW and make a big, big post render work because the client required a lot of changes respect to the basic Image. For example, I need to make grown three times the breast size. Personally, I think this isn't a good idea, because a female vampire don't need to look a Las Vegas dancing girl, but the client is the client.
]]> Fri, 11 Dec 2009 18:55:51 +0000 http://japa2.cgsociety.org/gallery/831890

I make this splash page for Muy Extra Q&A winter issue. You can see the internal anatomy of a female vamp, with atrophied organs, osteoporosis (blood hasn't too calcium),saponificated skin and other details.

I use the V4 DAZ model, morph, export to LW and render in Layout. Next I make a lot of postrender work in photoshop.

Of course she is impaled. I think this is the better way for convince a vampire for to remain quiet.]]> Sat, 05 Dec 2009 18:53:08 +0000 http://japa2.cgsociety.org/gallery/825724

I make this little joke for illustrate a real behavior. When a giant hornet explorer locates a bee colony, the bees jump and envelope his body. Next, they use his flight muscles for generate a lot of heat and kill the invader, because they can resist higher temperatures than hornet.

I make this image for a cover page in MUY INTERESANTE spanish magazine. The article was about compulsive and unnecessary purchases. First I modeled the market trolley (I dont find any good model in commercial sites and decided to make my own: 6 hours work) and next adapt my neanderthal model, morphing his head for a cromagnon look and add a polylines layer for sasquatch hair. Fibally model a flintstones style cloth and render with a hdri image in ambience lights. Some little adjusts for shados in photoshop and voila!]]> Fri, 30 Oct 2009 17:30:16 +0000 http://japa2.cgsociety.org/gallery/819609

The last image of dinosex series. I use for this scene the Dinoraul Pentaceratops, because this model has two texture styles, and I want to make a dimorphic mate. I imported the mesh to Lightwave, next I modified the head for make different hornes style for male and female and finally I make the sex position (I decided to use a mammal style, similar to rhinos or elephants). For render, I loaded the background image in layout for ambience light. Thus, the integration was easier.

In photoshop, I modified the background picture for erase the grass and replace it by ferns (no grass in cretacic, you know)

When one of my friends see the image, she says "you know, he puts will and impetus, but by the expression of her, he fails the technique".]]> Mon, 26 Oct 2009 11:09:30 +0000 http://japa2.cgsociety.org/gallery/819208

Pelecanimimus was a little ornithomimid, size similar to a crane. Thus, I decided to use a pure bird-style copulation pose. During mating, male crane mount over female back, and balance his body with the wings. My male dino hasn't wings, but uses his arms to maintain itself. Female bend back his neck for caress, since cranes and storcks do

This is the fourth version I make of my old pelecanimimus mesh, with a little arms adjust and a feathered layer in back. I use two different colour patterns, for sex dimorphism (usually, female birdas have mimic colours, and male birds have a showy livery) ]]> Sun, 25 Oct 2009 05:10:31 +0000 http://japa2.cgsociety.org/gallery/818997

The client wants a image with sauroposeidon (the bigger brachisaur) making water sex, for explain that floating in the water can helps to avoid the weight problem. Personally I think this is a bad idea, because the male needs a strongpoint for elevate his body.

Maybe the answer is only a question of sexual sizes: if female sauropods are bigger than males, the weight problem isn't a big problem.

The sauroposeidon mesh is a lightwave morphed version of expressionimage camarasaur, a model cheap and useful. For scene, I compound a background picture with a 3d water displacement mesh.
]]> Sat, 24 Oct 2009 09:50:38 +0000 http://japa2.cgsociety.org/gallery/818868

I also needed to make four images about dino sexual behaviors and decided to start with the rex couple I maked in my love scene.

I suposse the theropod used bird style positions for copulate, but T-rex have the problem of weight. I think this can be a reasonable option: female lie on his abdomen and male is squat down. Thus, the male's weight is mainly suportted by the same male, counterbalancing head and tail.

As usual, lightwave scene and render]]> Fri, 23 Oct 2009 18:20:14 +0000 http://japa2.cgsociety.org/gallery/818477

I make this cover image for Focus, Poland edition. I use the magnificent 3DCat T-rex model, adding a feather layer with sasquatch. Render in Lightwave and a little postwork in photoshop for adjust lights and shadows.

Ahhhh, what a wonderfull autumn (cretaceous) day!. Love is in the air, and the rex feels how his blood boils in his heart! (you know, they are warm-blooded beasts)]]> Thu, 22 Oct 2009 16:34:12 +0000 http://japa2.cgsociety.org/gallery/817446
