Lazee Boy has finished his head sculpt.....!

Well I eventually sat down and stopped running away from my modeling , I am actually quite happy with it , the hat could do with more work ,but I will sort that when I sort the textures.I really need to get my head around displacement mapping and get this into the unreal editor.I have 5 pieces of work to get through for my portfolio and this is the first so will be the worst.I am hoping ot have it all done by Santa time ,but with a house move on the cards it might get a bit hectic. Not looking to bad though...onwards and upwards.......till the next time.....davo

MMMMOOOOOHAHAHAHAHA

Needs hair to finish!

It lives , after the most stressful summer vacation ever......I have actually got stuck back inot my showreel.I have been doing a bit of high res sculpting in Mudbrush , and it is actually starting to look good enough to show the outside world.This is hopefully going into Unreal ....havent tested that bit yet but I am hoping ot have it all finished by Crimbo......fingers crossed ,though there is a lot that can happen between then and now.




I have tried to get him out and all the maps seem to work in Maya , I am going for the classic Karloff in a fifties diner situation , very Norman Rockwell . Getting there .......Davo.

At Last .....all the marking done and on with my stuff!

Been far to busy to do any of my own work for weeks and weeks.........had a nice little break up in Scotland and came back refreshed and ready to get back into work. So I have managed to get some Hi Res sculpting done ....it is ok but will get better as I keep grinding away.

A new Teashirt for Davo and all his Uvs to sort........overall happy with his shape and silhouette , will be doing two versions of him an Unreal version , and a cinematic one.........displacements and everything,might even some hair on his beard! Hopefully posts should be a bit more regular.....

Just testing all the bits of the pipeline , got the Unreal bit to look into as I am pretty confident with the modeling and texturing bit......though my new camera really has helped with the texturing stage,I hopefully should have some textures on them shorts and a teashirt texture by early next week....
We will see......I is enjoying it though and looking forward to getting on to his vehicle....


 Davo..

So I did say I was going to post some work on my blog.....and I am today,yeehaa!

I have actually been doing some proper sculpting instead of my normal mindless

nine to five......and It is looking ok....

So this is my base head in Maya with a series of other Morph heads so I can blend between my characters so I only have to make one amazing set of morphs! The idea is to get my character running around in UDK , and also have a high res one in Maya for rendering purposes.I have done the initial base sculpt in Mudbox and have applied that data to my mesh in Max.......so this image below is the initial sculpt for UDK,I havent gone over the top with the sculpt at the moment as It will loose a lot with the compression.

At last some actual work done,

It has only took me about three hours to get back into this page....and I still have no idea of what the hell I am doing.....someone said it would be a good idea,not bleeding likely.Without doubt a right waste of time......needless to say I have managed to have a massive argument with my missus....as she couldn`t remember I had a gmail account....doh! well actually I guess it is all my fault then...anyhoo, it is to late to upload anything now so I will do it tomorrow,honest guvernor.

Bonjourrrrnoooooo

So this is it......my first foray into bloggin,haven`t a clue what I am doing , but nowt new there then!

Hopefully this will be where I update all my current work and show the sort of stuff I have been working on over the current weeks.

If I can remember to update it .....it should be a bit of a laugh,if not it will be utterly boring........

see you soon

Davo
