CG Character Development Session 10

Session Review

Throughout this session,
Chaos Maunder from Warhammer Age of Reckoning.
 I have begun to contemplate on the 3d dimensional shape of the model and browsed at various 3d game models from games, mods and various other sources in order to observe how they have created the robes and armour.

In addition, one of my main two sources for armour both iron man and the various spartan armours from the Halo game series. I mostly like the bodysuit underneath the armours and the shard or puzzle-like arrangement of the amour and how each piece of armour serves a functional purpose.

However, In order to make sure the character does not possess a heavy science fiction influenced appearance. I browsed through numerous fantasy concepts art and one in particular that I always admired was the art from Warhammer: Age of Reckoning and different characters classes such as the blackguard featured a similar cone-shaped helmet as the African mask.

Halo Reach: Noble Six Concept Art
Whereas the marauder class an art possessed excellent barbarian clothing and other small tribal affections. More importantly, I like the maunders design because the characters clothing is influenced by the character's culture which is how I can make my character look unique and not a generic science fiction character.

Moreover, I have placed all of my selected images on a 3d model mood board which will be used as an additional pool of reference in case I need to make alterations to my characters design.

In addition, Issue eighty-five of the magazine 3d Artist as highly appreciated since the artists in the magazine offered excellent workflow and concept development advice.  Furthermore. I made use of my FileSilo account and proceeded to download the tutorials images from the issue since I should think both the tutorials and my lecturer Jaime will both be useful sources should I consider to make my character into the program Zbrush.

(OLD) CG Nomad Final Session Log

Session Review During the events of this final academic session of the nomad, my current concentration was focused on applying more detail to the nomad's helmet and creating a new skin texture. Moreover, the reason for me creating a new skin texture from the previous face skin was because of the previous skin had a harsher completion on the character and a fellow classmate found it unnerving. Moreover, browsing through my photography CDME module folder, I used a portion of my skin an d re shaded indigo in order to create a smoother and more tillable face skin for the nomad. I must say I was very impressed with the quality of detail with the final skin render (figure a). Furthermore, returning to the class I continued to face difficulty successfully, uv mapping the characters head.  However, thanks to constructive criticism from both the lecturer and fellow classmates I proceeded to follow a tutorial from Vimeo, which I personally felt was much simpler to follow a...

CG Character Development Session 39

Session Review Continuing issue of dotted lines on smoothed model Proceeding from the previous session, I started right where I left of and merged my new head model. To the rest of the body mesh and it was a tedious task indeed. For,I had to insert new edge loops on the the lower section of the neck in order to appropriately snap the lines on the new head model because if I ignored the additional edge loops and merged the head to the body it would not fuse it self cleanly to the neck. Furthermore, I browsed the internet shortly afterwards to discover why my model had dotted lines covering the model when smoothing was applied to the model. I soon located an answer on cg society and thankfully one person had ther nerve to ask on the site's forums. Converting faces of ear into quads However, the method they suggested was simply changing the display of the edges and did nothing to fix the issue of my model having dotted lines covering the face of the mesh.  I beli...

CG Character Development Session 30

Session Review Continuing from yesterdays session, I have created the eye sockets using the same techniques I followed to shape the mouth hole. Furthermore, I simply adjust the anatomy of the nomad body further by pulling in vertices along the chest area to create further muscle definition and make it look less weak and wimpy. Moreover, after following Ryans tutorial where he creates the box for the ear, i had to return to following the 3ds max tutorial and follow the steps to shape the ear In addition, duplicated the head I had so far and combined it with the African shaped head.
