Monster sculpt

What started out as fat head doodle sculpt turned into a full body. Having fun with it, after watching some hard surface videos of Vitaly Bulgarov on youtube It's made me want to attempt some hard surface modeling which I'm going to attempt to do for the armor for this sculpt.

I made low res topology for the head and then the torso and imported them into Zbrush and had fun.

Doodled in less than 12 hours

Run Cycle

My run cycle for the Eli Character. Glad I got time to redo, from what I did the first time around. First time I had an Ik Spine and found it limiting and made it much harder to control the rig. I created some FK controls for the lower back Lumbar area, and a chest control which made animating the twist a lot more controllable. FK love it :)

Walk cycle

Eli experiences walking for the first time. Found some limitations with the setup, but that's great news, as now I know what to do for the next rig I make.

Animation Exercise

Animation Short Short, learning how to shift weight. My learnings + some nCloth learnings :)

Enjoy my video on demonstrating the artful tack on how to deal with the female mind.

Lighting Exercise

After viewing some inspiring lighting tutorials, I decided to go ahead and do an exercise to see what I could do with my new knowledge, I love the ambient occlusion hack I've learnt, It's great.
Render took 40sec's, with a decent computer it would come way down. Pretty happy with the quality for a 40 second render. Having problems with the shadow casting...

Main Character Model.01

Almost complete model for my nursery rhyme. Need to add some things like buttons, hair maybe some pockets and a tie? hehe. Really enjoyed making him so far, total of 2 days, estimated 16 hours actual time.
Very pleased with it so far. Only the head got Zbrushed, thinking at the end I might do minor adjustments to the body for more interesting proportions, we'll see how it goes.

Face modeling/topology 2

Here he is again with eye sockets and cleaned up cheek lines.

Face modeling/topology

Here's my face model for my new character on the nursery rhyme short.
Mostly modeled in Maya and a few overall large changes in Zbrush. Thinking of making a high poly version in zbrush and normal mapping detail on.

Eli Character modeling/texturing

Here's the next progress picture from the Eli Project.
Texturing is not my favorite.

Project Eli

This is my first 3D character model done in Maya. Real Fun and time consuming, the way I like it!

Here are some pictures of Eli.

Teeth tongue and the lips.

Quite happy with the results for a first attempt at lighting and rendering a scene.
