An article on the importance of reference by Laurens Corijn. Mostly related to automobile design but still worth reading.

The Importance Of Reference by Laurens Corijn

Kuantan, Here I Come!

The title might make me sound enthusiatic about it, but i'm not the least happy about it. I'll be there for my sister's 2nd wedding reception on Saturday, and should be back on Sunday.

As for work, a model got approved by the director/client last night at 10.30pm. Now it's time for the rigger/animator to have fun. :D

Where Art Thou, Updates?

Sooo sorry I can't provide any updates for the time being, I'm currently working on a TVC so there won't be any progress on the Knight for another week.

Red Faction : Guerrilla belongs to THQ

The Knight - WIP 16

Trying a military green on the rubbery parts, and a tertiary grey for the armor.  Also added some paint stripes. On the other hand, the UT3 test was only half successful, it's such a sensitive engine where a slight mistake in the import workflow could mess the whole thing up at the end. The rigging was done in Max, so the weights weren't exactly well done. Will do more tests and do this again soon.

 

Unreal Tournament 3 belongs to Epic Games.

The Knight - WIP 15

Texturing for the knight is almost done, gonna get some feedback and make some changes. Will finish up the weapons a little later, I'm excited about playing this model in UT3.

The Knight - WIP 14

Sorry for the long delay, been modelling the low polys and testing the bakes. Now the normal maps are done and applied on the low polys for viewing in Maya. 9869 tris were used.

The Knight - WIP 13

Shield's done. Might need to add more bolts though. Entering lowpoly modelling mode soon.
