Anatomy Studies: The Skull

 



I decided to start a doing a series of anatomy studies to help with my character modelling. Below is an image of the skull done in zbrush, the idea is to sculpt each body part and then in the end do a full anatomically correct model using zbrush.

 

I have a time-lapse of the sculpt but unfortunately there were errors when uploading so hopefully I can get that uploaded soon.

Wolf Rig

I have been taking a break from modelling to do a bit of rigging. below is an image of the finished wolf rig for the film papa.

Showreel 2012/13

Thought i would post a link to my showreel which i created last year for the BFX competition unfortunately we never got selected but it was a good practice at putting a showreel together.

Dark Cabin Interior and Exterior

3D models of the exterior and interior of the dark cabin for the film Papa.

Multiple Sclerosis

Here is a link to the Animation I worked on when i was over in Ireland last month. I did everything from modelling to the final composite. The animation explains the process of multiple sclerosis and how it affects the body.

Photoreal Portrait WIP

Finally started one of my personal projects!:)

The plan is to take this right through the pipeline and to make it as photo real as possible. Ill be uploading the various stages up onto the blog so I can see my progression. The modelling in Maya is nearly finished just need to finish the mouth then onto uving and then detailing in zbrush.

Modelling Update

Been a while since my last post so I thought it was a good idea to post an update of how things are going. I've bee a bit lazy the past couple of weeks didn't get things finished as soon as I liked. But I've found my motivation again this week and hopefully I can get some more stuff finished and out the way. Below are some of the things I've been up to.

This is an image of the finished Anna model. The hair will be added to her once the animation is done. But its good to have one of the main characters finished. The model is in the process of being textured.

The wolf model is about 99% finished just need to clean the scene up and tidy parts of the geometry. But other than that pretty much done. Hopefully send that of to be UV mapped in a couple of days. We are also going to be using maya fur so once its uv'd Adam can start doing fur tests on it.

As for personal work I finally started on Iron Monger from the first iron man film. Above is a WIP screenshot of the leg. I would like to get more of it done but my first priority is finishing what I need to do for Uni. So this will have to wait.

That's all for now

Anna hair test

Spent most of the day working on Anna's hair. Anna is one of the main characters from one of my degree show films next year 'Papa'. I quite enjoyed the process on making the hair I thought at first that it would be a gruelling experience but found it to actually be enjoyable. Below are some renders of what the hair is looking like at this stage. The model overall is about 99% finished just need to do minor tweaks here and there and tidy up the scene. After that is done it should be ready for texturing. :)

Ok so i created this blog for personal work only but have decided to share everything 3D related. Purely on the fact that i might not have time for personal work as iam busy getting stuff modeled over the summer for my degree films. Hopefully if i can get these models finished in quick time i can start on at least one personal project!

Got my first character modeled for one of the films iam working on. Quite pleased with how it turned out took about 3-4 days to complete it. 1 down 3 to go!

Summer is almost here

Not posted in a while so i thought i would post a quick update with whats been happening. So the end of third year is approaching, only a couple more days until the hand in, yikes!!. This semester was spent in the pre production stage of our film which went quite well. Iam really chuffed with all the work that has been produced by myself and my team mates. I have a great team to work with and cant wait to start the production stage of our film next semester in 4th year.

 Also a group of us decided to enter into the bfx competition which is run by Bournemouth University. Its a competition where we are required to produce a short piece of work in 6 weeks. So I've been working on my showreel this week trying to get that polished in time for the submission date. Iam hoping we get selected as its a great way to meet and and get mentored by professionals from the industry.

Since the end of the semester is nearly over and the summer is approaching I can finally start working on some personal projects. i have quite a few ideas so iam just going to pick my favourite one and get started on it. So look out for updates on that.

Thats all for now.

And so it begins...

Right then since iam approaching the end of my third year at university i thought it would be a good time to start my own personal blog where i can share my work and thoughts as a 3D artist.
