Month: February 2016

i built a new rig for this guy after getting some feedback on the last one.. the last one was horrifically janky. this one is only tremendously janky. Also spent some time learning about mental ray and got a much nicer render out of it, even if it did take a half hour for the single frame. I need a better computer.

 

Maya was being a real pain in the butt, but this thing got done. Concept, model, texture, rig, pose, render- a learning experience. The concept work was all photoshop, as usual, and the 3d is 100% Maya. Modeling this thing out was way fun- rigging and rendering in Mental Ray were time consuming though- that Physical Sun/Sky button is a dangerous road to travel.

 

here and there they make it into the third dimension
