Update

Really starting to get excited about a lot of stuff lately, and I feel like sharing it for those who care :).

We are starting to get to the end of the production on the cinematic trailer we are doing for the game forced by BetaDwarf.
And in my humble opinion, it looks pretty damned sweet for a production done by 6 students working after hours.
Definately look forward to see this guys.
And if you are into indie games (they are a ton of fun usually) be sure to check out their website to learn more about it.

Also I will be enrolling on the cgtalk course called Rapid Character Development for Online Games, where I will be taught by John Deriggi, and I am super excited!
You can check him out here http://www.johnderiggi.com if you want.
 
I hope (and expect) this course to benefit me a lot as I am starting on my next semester of school in just 1 week.
The course focuses on getting a character modeled and textured for the game engine unity, which luckily is the same engine we are gonna use to make 2 games on my next semester of school.
Always nice to be prepared so you can push your part of the pipeline even further!
 I am still not sure quite how things are gonna work out, and what kind of games we are gonna do, but no matter what, I think it is gonna be a blast!

I also just managed to stretch my economy just enough to be able to enroll on the creature design course taught by Cesar Dacol Jr. which is an absolutely awesome teacher, and I was lucky enough that the course by John D. ends just before Cesars.
Here we should learn to "demystify" the whole design process so to speak, and go through all the aspects of it, something my former teacher Bryan Wynia pointed out to me I could use well.
If you yourself are interested in looking into the courses cesar just opened a new online school called phoenix atelier (http://www.phoenixatelier.com/) where you can enroll.


Plus I got a "small" job that can give me my first real experience in the industry, still not gonna talk a lot about it, as I am not all certain about all the details, but Just so you can see that: I got A LOT of stuff going on.


So that was all for now, hope you enjoyed the little peak into what I have going on.

Stay on top!

speedsculpt #009

Newest one from today done.
This time I tried using the clay tubes mostly for a change, I like how it makes a lot of happy accidents.
Though I gotta admit, I do like the clay buildup a bit more, it seems to give me better results.
But here goes.

Hope you enjoy.
I am not all to happy about how the top of his head ended up looking looking like. It just seems a bit off to me.

You can see a video of the making here:

Speedsculpt #008

So today My girlfriend challenged me to do a cute speedsculpt for once.
And I was like, Bring it girl!
So actually, this was harder than I first thought. And 2 times I started completely over with a new concept because it either didn't work or was creepy-ish. :O
But I ended up with a fairly satisfying result, so I guess it was good to get out of my comfort zone and try something new :).

You can see it here with a fast color layout:

 and without obviously

Speedsculpt #007

I made two slightly different versions, could quite decide what I liked the most.
this one was quite fun, though those leaves just wouldn't look right, I better look into how to the very thin stuff sometime.
besides that, very fun sculpt to do actually :).

I made a video for this aswell you can watch it here:

speedsculpt #006

This guy was done very quick, around 40min. or so I think.
I tried to keep it quick and rough.
And in the end I only had 120k polygons, So mission accomplishe.
Also another reason for keeping it quick is that I got another project we need to finish up so I will start on that now and get a lot done hopefully :) ..

If you want to watch this guy get done I made a timelapse you can watch.
And this time zbrush didn't bug out on me :)
