Isaiah Ferguson: Project Overview

Session Notes

During my meeting Isaiah commented on the feet of my character and said it needed further definition such as defining the toe and heel ares as well as showing the boot was something that looked like my character could take his foot out of not something glued to his foot.

Furthermore, I refined the clothing and armor further by studying the military standard uniform of a roman soldier and took elements from tha ans well as an English medieval ranger and predator. (figure a)

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 Cont'd Development 3

Session Notes Resuming progress with the new nomad head model. I finally adjusted my reference image to have accurate measurements for the eys, nose and lips in order for me to accurately use the tutorial and model a geometrically clean head. (figure a) Figure A Furthermore, during the past sessions of creating the old nomad model I found the tutorial by James Taylor to complicated to follow although using cylinders to create the eyes and mouth area is a faster and more efficient approach to creating a loy poly character head. (figure b) Figure B Interestingly as I slowly adjusted the vertices for the second cylinder to form the lips. The multi-cut tool (figure c) as used in James Taylor's guide, was extremyl efficent at creating intricate edge loops. Figure C However, I had to delete some o the additional vertices the tool created and simply reconnected the vertices together in order to form a clean line with three verts on each lip line.

(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...
