Count Dooku Model?

Does anyone know if anyone has worked on making a model?

no I don't know

 

i havent seen or heard about one, but thats not saying too much... google? not that it would be an easy thing to do a search for...
i'd like to see one, if its accurate at least.

 

ILM probably got one... ok, enough joke. What I mean is if you can't find a star wars stuff on Scifi3D, you'll hardly find it somewhere else, except stuff from expended universe. Zoo is always seeking for new meshes (sometime I tell him when I see great stuff, like this amazing yoda on CG talk last week), and if he had found one, it would be on the site, or the autor didn't want to share it (very often). Of course, maybe he missed something... good luck

And, also, this kind of stuff isn't very interesting to model if you're not making a fanfilm. If you model just for fun and want to make a star wars character, you would make vader, or jango fett, or yoda, not dooku... so if it's not on this board or fanfilm board, I don't think yo can find one sorry.

However, if you can proove I'm wrong, I'll apologize.

 

You're probably right Dr.Jones. I just needed a shot of him for my fanfilm. I wanted to mak e him a hologram...alwell I'll find a way.

I think you could probably find a production photo of the actor with a white background or something. And you could take that and make a hologram out of it.

 

What do you need a CG model of him for? Just call Christopher Lee up and ask him to help... duh!

Okay but how to I make his mouth move? Do I blur the crap outta him and just make is mouth move?

Shoot him from behind!

You've never seen South Park?

 

LOOL yeah but I dont want a Count Cartman!

I like the behind idea!!! Thanks


Does anyone know where I can find some full still shots of him?

~Rory

 

you could try the Conan O'Brien approach...it looks rater primary but in a holographic effect and for short shots it might work.

All you would do is mask out his mouth with an alpha matte in Photoshop. Then video record a close up of an actors mouth that has a beard and layer it in behind your alpha matted Christopher Lee photo. It's a crude way to do it but it might be effective.

Excelllent Idea! THANKS! Now all I need is to imitate his voice!

~Rory

 

Depending on what you want him to say, take lines from the film.

or in fact any film starring christopher lee! Try and check out all the old hammer horror movies, there must be a ton of good lines in there.

 

The problem if you animate mouth only, it will look fake, because it will be emotion-less. When you speek, all your face move. and a bad actor is someone who just say his speach, whose face is emotion less. It's also very hard in CG

 

I wouldn't do anything. I'd use good hologram techniques, and interference to hide the fact that he isn't moving. Also... this guy is very sublte and doens't move much anyway. I think you could get away with alot on him.

 

You could always try this: Get a good clear picture, crop it, and use the bud-lite making faces thing to make it come to life. Record the screen a voila, instant semi-realistic Christopher Lee.

Personally, I'd get an actual movie clip and dub over his voice though, but that could be legally pressing.

I know...I have been looking for some good Dooku shots but I have been unsuccessful...I will keep you guys posted.! If I find I will share with all!
