3D Week 08 – Assignment 03: part 3

Hello there!
This post is just a visual update on the Assignment 3.
Here is how the final body mesh looks:

And some details:

Here is how far from the concept silhouette I have modelled. Notice that the front pose concept art is not symmetrical and therefor the differ on the left side:

And last a comparison side by side with the turn around:

As you can see I have tried to stay as much as I can to the original silhouette, […]

3D I: Assignment 3 – Update

We are supposed to have a finished mesh by now for UV on Tuesday, but I am far from done. With all the school work we got on the game design course right now, I simply can’t keep up with everything. I also feel very unsure about both the head and the body of the model, as this is my first time modeling one. We ran through a wholly different technique in modeling faces (covered in my previous post), so […]

3D Computer Graphics I: Face Modeling and ‘Photogrammetry’

Human faces has always been my favorite motif when drawing, so learning how to model a face obviously strikes my fancy right away. When looking at the theory behind a good edge flow in relation to actual anatomy, it’s very logical and therefor easy to grasp. But nevertheless, it’s not easy to master. I’ve only scraped on the surface of face sculpting and it’s very complicated in practice no matter how much sense the theory makes.
We got to try on […]

Assignment 3 – Character Modeling – Palo'h the Shaman

Week 6 started off with prepping for the new and final assignment; Character modeling. 
The objective for this weeks was to find a concept (your own or taken from the internet) and write a character background for it. 
Unfortunately, with a lot of assignments pressing, I chose to take a interesting concept I found on deviant art. 

This concept (consisting of an action pose and turn around) is created by user Asashi-Kami and can be found here. I’m new to character […]

Photogrammetry and Stuff

I read Andrzej Poznanski’s article; ‘Visual Revolution of The Vanishing of Ethan Carter’, and was quite fascinated with what they could do. However, I am wondering, getting the model to render appropriately was quite some trouble, the main pro of this method was to get believable wear and tear etc, and the model must still modified to reduce poly count and get a nice edge flow. Would it not be just a easy to just take reference photos, model the model yourself, […]

3D Week 8 – A Facial Like No Other

Greetings!
Most of the week has been dedicated to pick myself up from last week when it came to 3D modelling that needed to be done. There has been a load of work to do in school, and still is, I might die soon. But this week is done and I can take a new breath and slave on!
So this week in class we went through face typology and how to build it. Luckily for me, typology of the face is […]

3D Character Update

I have finally finished the mesh my model of Strauss. It sure took some time, but I am quite happy with the final result. I think his large head and collar might be making the rest of his body look less fat, but I think making the head smaller would make him look human, which would not be very good, so I think the balance I have got now is pretty okay. I am also wondering if maybe should have […]

3D I, Week 6, Part 3: Assignment 2 Update

This is, again, a late blog report on my Assignment 2 necklace. Following up on my previous post, this is a short and simple post on my final model and its textures.

Above is my final model rendered in UDK with the diffuse, specular and normal textures on.
My diffuse texture has the simple patterns of each of my pearls. To go with my simplified cartoony style, I kept the colors limited, and used a lot of contrast between […]
