New personal project, I call it "wise guys"
Going to be done in a family photo esque setting.
Each is a tough guy, I'm thinking of giving em torn suits and knocking the crap out of each one. it'll make the photo that much more intense.

This is just to show off each one, and doesn't represent the final composition.

Looking for some comments



And a quick zbrush render:

Next to being pretty amazing, it also explains how rendered light maps are used to get the Sub Surface Scattering!

Banner change proposal

I figure that since we now use maya and lightwave, we should adjust the banner to reflect that.

how you doin?

Okay well I tried...I really did. I was adjusting my head modeled I made by hand and thought, oh well I'll just pop it into zbrush for texture painting...

I really tried to keep this as hand made as possible...

I really did..

so anyway about an hour and half later I got this(click for full size):




I'm thinking about maybe putting him in a mugshot and calling the piece "Wise Guy"

oh and here he is before I adjusted hime and he got the crap knocked out of him...well sort of:



I'm smelling the beginnings of a portfolio piece!

On a side note: My body rig is acting a wee bit funny, I might have to reweight some of the joints. poo...but the face rig is working well. I was hoping to have them working well together, but no such luck. I guess I'll just try to merger in class tomorrow... that should be funnnn.....

mental ray gone wild!

woo! actually What this guy does with mentalray shaders, procedural textures (all of them!) and displacement are unholy haha. Check it out: link

Hatter Boned...hard

Currently I'm setting up IK and FK controls, so that when clicking on that little box the arm becomes IK yet selecting the joints leaves it FK. I'll have a motion test up tomorrow.

maya redesign

Textures (31 MB)

I'm uploading my head with textures and skin shaders. I figured the intro class could light it and stuff and have a cool looking shader react. This is a rush job, just something to help me relax in-between facial rigging and cloth tests.

Just place textures in there respectable slots when asked. Actually when you link one, it automatically links the others, isn't maya great? :)

Interesting.
