building mileage

Some sketches from over the weekend. Coat guy was done for fun at work, the girl is from a live model, and the guy on the bench was done in a park by my place. Not much to report.

Vincent... i mean Victor

I’ve buckled down a little more recently, and the Victor model seems to be ready for texturing. I think the hair will be a displacement but I’m not sure yet. That way I won’t have to model it all. I think since work has been slow I’ve had more energy to work on personal projects. I had a discussion with Luc about how I might be able to animate the soccer shoe below, similar to this spot http://www.theembassyvfx.com/asics_movie.html . It went along the lines of a thief beating up an old lady and taking her purse but all you saw were their shoes, a ski hat, purse and a babushka. I think this is going on the backburner for the time being, although I would like to do some short simple spots that poke fun at what’s already out there.

Note: anyone can leave a comment as anonymous, but if you put your name at the bottom of the post I will know who to thank latter.

level annoyance

I think this is as done as this model is going to get. I could tweak this for days but the changes are so minute at this point. The image looks great on my large monitor but when I copied it over to my ancient one all the blacks were super dark and all the detail was lost. Leave a comment if it seems too dark, I would like to know how people are viewing the art here. P.S. I wish I was going to E3.
