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 combining some further programs such as Keyshot and effects in photoshop I am pleased with the new model and new renders which both colourful and clear of what the subject is.

CG Character Cont'd Development 4

Session Notes Reluctantly resuming progress with the modelling of the new head. I have only just discovered that shift right click grants me quick access to useful tools throughout the tutorial such as "Multi-Cut" and "Connect Components". (figure a) Figure A The following week later I proceeded to craft the vertices of the eye cylinder and forming the outer circle of the eye the "Oculus Orbit" was tedious (figure b) . Since my side reference was not completely accurate despite my measurement lines aligning perfectly in adobe photoshop. Figure B Moreover, after slowly transforming my cylinder into an eye I was confused once I had to refine the edges with the "Crease Tool". In order to smooth down the inner eye-ring, I had to drag the middle mouse button while the crease tool was selected. Also as a small temporary note, I will make sure all of my written production logs are coherent and readable once each project is brought to...

(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...
