Project Q Part 3

So the texturing is finally finished and I only have to set up some shaders and glow maps and then all done. Rigging is almost finished as well, only some skinning left and then the animator, Camilla, can start animating next week. It is going to be exciting seeing the creature finally coming alive!

And one rendered from maya with some glow shaders. Still have to work on the glow maps on the antlers and bark.

Projeqt Q Part 2

Just a little update on the project. The sculpting is close to a finish and the model has been retopologized and uv'd as well. Next is texturing and coloring. 

Here are some work in progress pictures!

Project Q Part 1

Finally semester 4 has begun and our first project is to design a four legged creature with an animator, mine being Camilla Pedersen . The pipeline is to design, model, texture, rig and then adapt an animation into a background which is a photograph.

An early design:

Turnaround:

Silhouette:

Color Sketches:

Finished Design:

And finally the finished design with the background:

(Be aware that the background has yet to be edited since we want it to be night)

This was the first week with Mateo Dineen and Rory Mcleish which both helped us along the way. I am very pleased with the result and can't wait to start modeling it in 3D in Zbrush which we started to learn how to use this week.

The Trailer Project Part 1

This semester is all about one project, The Trailer Project.

The goal is to work in a group of for and make a short trailer for a movie that was picked for us. The twist is that we had to change the genre of the movie.  We ended up getting the movie City Lights which is a romantic comedy with Charlie Chaplin.  So my group decided on a horror instead. 

Below are a few character sketches. I basically ended up doing the design for Virginia, a young ghoul, and the Alchemist, a crazy spider kind of guy that lives in the sewers. I mostly had the design for the Alchemist until Mads, a group member, took over and took him to the next level.
