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.

Nomad Production: Finishing Touches

Session Notes Taking a moment to resume progress with the character I have made sure each part of the model's vertices, uv mapping, textures and topology areas clean and organised as possible before attempting to pose the character in Zbrush. using a plugin named Transpose However, while successfully importing a clean model of my character into Zbrush using the spheres to rig the character proved challenging considering I am still new to some of Zbrush's features and thus proved far too time-consuming for the academic deadline. Nevertheless, I have downloaded KeyShot 5 and attempted to render features of the nomad such as the tribal mask and truly show it off by making the render look as detailed as possible. Browsing ArtStation once more and observing others renders I pasted and edited a lovely forest green grunge background along with applying subtle lighting effects I learned from Photography to create a colour and vibrant render sheet. Henceforth, after combini

Week 1: Class Introduction and Character Development Session 1

Session Review Returning from the summer holiday, during today's introductions session,. This session as I assumed was simply an introduction to the rules and regulations of th module and workshop session where the class and I play around in Maya and reacquainted ourselves with the tools and interface. Thankfully I had remembered and learned the majority of the core modelling and editing tools in Mayas interface in order to continue my progression and experiments with 3d modelling. In adoption, I can now compare Maya to what I learned in 3d Studio Max from my time in college and over the summer holiday. A useful tool in Maya used to save your object selections Furthermore, the moment the real production began the moment I got the green light to  produce a series of sketches and contemplate on the series rough sketches and produce my first design  of character by the third academic week. The reason why it is essential to create the character illustration is  in order fo

(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
