Alien

rene — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 20:18:27 +0000

NEW – Did an alien in Zbrush, inspired by Aaron sims and invasion of the body snatchers.

Based on a body “taking form” which is not through the process yet.

This main shot here is from the rear, base of the skull to the mid-section only. The model itself is quite tall.

Video Game Art

I found some of my old models from like 2009 ish and are posting them on the web Heres one of them, a boar, probably useful for a game title. It was never put through the end stage but having an 4/5 asset doesn’t mean its unusable.

What is this and why do I want it?

Hi guys,

I found this in my old models and decided to pull it out and render it.

Could it be a bike? could it be a tank? Im still not sure what it “should” be. But all I know is I like it.

Nowadays with a large focus on trying to shock the viewer, adverts ignore that just good design can grab attention.

I think the world will advance with tech and good design- Despite what the climate is economically. Creativity should be encouraged and sustainable. But right now its not. It’s relying on youth and the internet.

I have a vimeo!

finally after 10 hours of rendering and a whole bunch of tests I got something out of it. I am alot more familiar with removing flicker from animations now.

Check it out on vimeo

Will probably write something on water rendering for waves/ocean. Its alot more involved than I initially thought. Going through essentially a significant portion of the gamut from-

Animated rolling waves
Displacement ( Mapped and or with an applied modifier)
Procedural mapping
Noise
Animated gradients with noise ( moving affecting wave)
Views – Difference in overall look above and below camera,
Interpretations through different software packages ( 3dsmax vs Softimage )
No use of third party plugins ( mental ray and stock 3D packages only – so no dreamscape or odd noise generators)
Rendering and compositing of elements
Mesh advection ( making water actually roll off and around objects such as rocks)
Particle simulation ( in PFLOW or its respective counterpart, the ICE enviornment)
and then switching and porting scenes between the two ( say I am a comfortable rigger in Softimage and need to send datasets to Max)
Some reading about scripting in Python
Point Cache usage between packages ( never did it before but figured it would be somewhat easy ) using the PC2 format.
Going to NY for the weekend – More after the Jump.

This is the “merman with bird” sculpt. It’s also part of the “MUSEO” idea I have for all of my sculpts for this year.
