So there’s been quite a few updates.. none on the building phase but on the procurement of the full aluminum r2 parts. First I got the Teeces V3 lighting kit for the dome this past Monday. I was really lucky with this, as I had found out about this run, I got the last set …
It’s no secret that many things interest me. 3D modelling, photography, TV, Film, miniatures and board games… but there’s one thing above anything else that I have strong found memories of… and that is Star Wars… Some of my oldest memories are of my dad and I, in the middle of an electrical storm going …
This Fine specimen of a man is the star of my still unnamed short film about… a caveman. I started box sculpting him in Maya 2012 just pulling and pushing vertices everywhere. Once I was satisfied with the look, I brought him into Zbrush where I started working the details. The colour was simply added …
Started giving him some new clothes more suitable for an evil overlord. I found a new technique to make clothes using the retopology tool with a zsphere. Basically you append a Zsphere with your model, then the Topology menu shows up under Tool. You then start the retopology process as you would normally… but instead …
While trying to create the concept for the crew’s ship, I ended up modeling a hover/hotrod/jet car. I like the concept and will probably finish it, however… it doesn’t suit the feel I want for this Space Opera… not to mention I’m having tons of problems with the engine’s faces… I select them and delete …
Here’s an updated pic of the Lizard Overlord. Imported into Zbrush and divided a few times, I started adding the quills to his face and then had to give him SOME sort of clothing. This is not the final wardrobe, however I did learn a new technique in order to make flowing cape.
So after being mostly done with Al, and not being happy at all with the base mesh for Mr Buns, I decided it would be cool to make the main villain so I could make posters and all. Well… all I know of the villain so far is that he’s a bearded dragon. So …
Aloysius Livingston Mouse The 14th. Things left, Add the ray gun, finish the hands, texture the jacket and then finally… Rig him.
I’ve been working on this small prop for one of my models and it seems like it’s taking way more time than it should. Heck, I’ve already spent twice as much time on it as I did on the character so far. Every time I do anything, I hit more stumbling blocks. First it …
So more progress with the ray gun… I was finally able to export it, but Zbrush was acting up when importing it. Still have the cooling tubes to model on it in Maya first though. In the mean time, here’s an actual screenshot of the character I posted a turnaround of the other day. …
