WhoSprites: The Lost Who Animation Project

[garrettgilchrist]

Radiation Suit from The Tenth Planet. Ben Jackson, Barclay, Dyson and Haines are seen in these suits during The Tenth Planet pt. 4.




The cellophane-like texture all over everything is something I originally created for the Tenth Planet Cybermen.

The base figure is DAZ's Michael 3 [invisible here]. He's wearing Raider Pants, an Alligator coat made to look oversized, Lourde's Normans tabard and gloves [free item at ShareCG], and a work helmet by Appleyard [Free item].

The Normans outfit also works very well for Mavic Chen [from The Daleks' Master Plan].

Resistance .... is ... useless.

My revised Tenth Planet Cyberman for Poser and the free DAZ Studio. Somewhere underneath that is DAZ's Michael 3. Adam Bullock sculpted the headpiece, shoulders and chestpiece using Anim8or. I sculpted the face in ZBrush 2, and sculpted wrinkles onto the shirt and pants. All textures are by me, done in Photoshop with some help from ZBrush.

The pants were originally the Xurge 3D Raider Pants. The shirt was an M3 Sweater by Uzilite. Both were resculpted for this purpose. The facemask was originally Sharby's Spider-man mask [which isn't widely available].





Sculpting the face was a dicey proposition for a relative amateur like myself .... the eyes were easy enough to do, but the way the polygons of the mask were set up, the mouth didn't want to happen. The sculpting overall is a bit messy, though the way it's textured you can't really tell. The mouth is a bit too large and I probably ought to do a few morphs for the head to allow him to speak.


You know what? Here's a download of him, for all Poser users. I think that everything you need is included in this pack, and more. [Although you'll surely still need Michael 3.] Don't use him without credit to Garrett Gilchrist, Adam Bullock and WhoSprites. Do NOT pass him off as your own [as others have done]. DO inform me if you're using him for any purpose. The ideal purpose being to animate The Tenth Planet 4.

Chris Batten has been doing 3D heads of the female companions, using Facegen. They are animatable, using various morphs. He's done Polly, Zoe, Peri, and .... Mel, for some reason.

Here's his Vicki.





My render, with sort of dumb hair.



He also attempted a Susan based on my WhoSprite version 1 of her .... Not quite ready for primetime due to black lines on her face ....




But the geometry of the model is quite good, as you can see ....

[garrettgilchrist]

Here is Chris Batten's remarkable interpretation of Jean Marsh, created as usual in Facegen.




I've dressed her as usual in Kirwyn's EZ Casual set with my "Kingdom Casual" texture, with Morphography boots and Kozaburo Long Hair Evolution [all free items]. Rendered in Poser. The character is DAZ's Victoria 4. Sorry the hair is digging into her a bit at the front. Will fix that. Would also like to improve the eyes a bit.

I am very, very proud to present two new animations. One is a rough cut to just show lip sync, one is finished with moving bodies and all that.

Happy Christmas [season] to all of you at home!

Since I began this project, one scene has been requested for animation much more than any other. People always ask me if I'm going to animate this scene, to the extent that I mentioned it in the original WhoSprites DVD.

I always say, probably not, as it's a terrible episode, a silly scene, and surprisingly complicated to animate for how short it is. I'd have to create tons of new finished characters, and ...

Well, hm. I seem to have spent the past couple months creating tons and tons of new finished characters.

Including all the ones needed for this particular scene.


So on a whim one day, I decided to animate it. I'm very proud to present the final scene from "The Daleks' Masterplan: The Feast of Steven."

Happy Christmas [season] to all of you at home!

The episode I've gotten the most requests to animate is The Tenth Planet 4. I had usually avoided it, since Aaron Climas did a decent CGI version of the episode, and by far it's the most likely episode for the official folk to animate themselves. But at the moment they're not doing it, and I like the episode, so you know what?

Here's a rough version of scene 1 of The Tenth Planet, pt 4. Characters do not yet have moving bodies - the heads are just placed on a temporary background to show what the lip sync will be.

Very well made. I could watch an entire episode like this. Great work as always!!

[garrettgilchrist]

We so rarely get a chance to celebrate, but this time we must.

Happy Christmas, everyone.

[Greg H]

Its always interesting to see how your project is getting on. The new animations are the best yet. Looking forward to seeing what you do next

[garrettgilchrist]

Thanks Greg! Several happy holidays to you!

I'm pro-3D Myself and see that there's potental with it.
