Having fun updating simple props. cup and ball. 

Football guy updates.

some wip updates on football guy.

Football guy

Working on a design by Soon Sang Hong. Still very much WIP. I really liked the design when I first saw it as it reminded me of the anime Eyeshield 21.

Sets

Cleaned up my drive and found some work that was done sometime ago. The props and set were done in Maya, the couch, speaker, lamp and creature head were based off Cory Loftis Concepts. Still wip.

importing rigs

Constraints broke when maya 2015 rigs were imported into maya 2014 and found this go around online and wanted to share this if anybody encounters it.

ChrisEvans3D blog

It happened due to a new flag called -DCB. Oh Maya.

A-Man

Anatomy Man in A-Pose sculpted in ZBrush.

hands on

Aside the self-portrait assignments artists have to live with, hands would be the topic when an artists have really no subject to go to, generally. And of course, great acting is supported with great hand gestures, so we need good hands. My friends know I have always been intrigued by hands and have placed great importance on them, sometimes obsessed but definitely not a fetish. Let's get better!

TOP ROW!

I visited CGfeedback today and to my surprise.

TOP ROW! Thank you so much CGFeedback for this honour! You complete my day!
Here is the thread.

Another Pirate?

Yes, another pirate. I guess Pirates are a cool subject to design. This time it's a design by the amazing Randy Bishop. Took a break and did a first pass at it. Just found out about the release of Zbrush 4R7. Did this on ZBrush 4R6 though.

Giacomo Turning

In the new age of 2015, wireframe rendering is still a bane, After 10GB of files and hours of mental ray contour rendering, good old playblast is the way to go. Of course it's not the best. but all other methods have their flaws too.

Also I have compiled a page for Giacomo on the projects page.

Giacomo 2.0

Some of you may recognize the model used for the 3D printing tests. The same model was reposed and some cleanup work was done. Concepted in ZBrush, retoped in Maya, rendered in Arnold.
