CG Character Development Session 21

Session Review
Checking each view port in order to make sure geometry is smooth and clean.

 Returning to the human head I created at the start of September, I have decided to simply finish what I have already created and the instructions are simple to follow so once I have created and edited the low poly head in 3ds max it will be saved as a n FBX file ready for import in Maya 2015.

Moreover, during this evenings session I have re adjusted the vertices and toggled out of the front view port in order to use my own common sense and observe whether the vertices along the head were evenly positioned and matched the front reference image without destroying the geometry such as the last I worked on step four of the tutorial.

Furthermore, I decided to skip creating the neck in the 3ds max head tutorial because in the Lynda tutorial and ninja turmoil I am both following they simply just merge the head to the torso and as I tested last
Tuesday in class as I merged the feet to the leg it successfully created the necessary mesh.

In addtion, under “Creating the Nose” step four in the low poly head tutorial where it instructed to create the nose geometry, by selecting the connect tool.; however, as I followed the instructions the connect tool created extra edges along the side of the face so in order to get rid of them I just simply hold Alt on the keyboard and select the front two nose lines to deselect them. Then remove the extra edges on the side of the face created by the connect tool.

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...

CG Character Development Session 45

Session Review Returning  to the nomad after experimenting with the available materials in maya ( figure 1) . The decision was made to return to make another series of uv mapping attempts and it was through the guidance of a classmate that I discovered a useful uv mapping tutorial that required time to observe in order to drink in the information. Figure 1 Moreover, the methods James Taylor used were simple and easy enough o intellectual follow as well as practically follow;however, I noticed that each limb of the instructors character was a separate mesh so I referred to auto desks website read their methods of separating areas of a model until the operated pieces are individual objects. Furthermore, while I was repeating the methods of un wrapping to the leg it was tedious but pleasing that I noticed several vertices in the leg were not merged together. In addition, I had to create a new foot purely because the previous version I had had terrible topology and at...
