CG Character Development Session 5

Session Review

Continuing from the previous sessions, I sought to make my characters clothing and other affections as functional as possible making each line or shape have a purpose for being besides just looking good to both the audience (class) and myself.

Moreover, I read an article from the magazine 3D Artist and this issue was dedicated to character design and I found satisfaction and slight surprise when the artists follow similar patterns and working processes to myself...

(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 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.

CG Character Development Session 24

Session Review Continuing from yesterday’s session, I have finally finished the nose instructions in the 3ds max tutorial; however, I have noticed while following the tutorial instructions I have created a few creating triangular faces. So I will have to consult the Lynda character tutorial by Ryan Kittleson and see his methods of creating the head. If not I will simply clean up the topology of the head and make sure each face is a quad (square). Furthermore, I selected the second vertice on the bottom nose edge and selected a tool in 3ds max named Chamfer, which made a face a four-sided face out of that selected vertice. By Sebastian Jones
