Zbrush and Polypaint

These are my first real attempts to work with Zbrush and its polypaint tools.





This is the wolf model from the rig video I posted a while back finalized with its texture. This was modeled and unwrapped in Maya, and then normal mapped and painted in Zbrush. Texture and normal map sizes are 256 x 256.



The dragon was done in the same way as the wolf, model and unwrap in Maya-paint and normal in Zbrush. With this model, I was trying to make it as low poly as I could. Right now it's at 1881 faces, which I could probably get down if I simplified the wings more. Texture and normal map sizes are both 256 x 256.

Morwyn's Texture




This is the girl from our senior short. Her model was a group effort, mostly between Marisa and myself. I unwrapped her, Marisa Erven sculpted and textured her. She also design her body tatoo.

Terrwyn's Sculpt and Texture




So here's Terrwyn with his normal maps and textures on. I did the model and character concepts, Marisa Erven did the sculpt and textures.

Low Poly Quadruped Rig Project

Low poly wolf and rig. The rig is a much simplfied version of the dog's rig from our team short. It also seems to be much more flexible, and has a lot less bones. Work in progress. Done in Maya 2009.

Cimmerian (Senior Film Project)

These are early animations for the Shiny Object Studios senior film project Cimmerian. I did the concept, models, and rigs for all of the characters, except for the girl whose modeling was a team effort between myself and Marisa Erven. All done in Maya 2009.

Aldwyn, the dog, has a pretty intense rig, and it's a bit stiff, in my opinion, but the animators seem to be dealing with her.

The two humans, have more or less, basic rigs.

Dorobo (Junior Short Film)

This is stuff from my junior project, Dorobo. The first is a posed shot of my character, and the second is the short itself. Everything was done in 3D Max, and the character was rigged using biped.
