The Knight GN Custom Wires

Here are some wires of the high resolution model. Note that I applied polySmooth to the mesh (I accidentally deleted the construction history :P). Currently gathering references for a compact assault rifle, I have my eyes set on the G36C by the famous Heckler & Koch.

My Game Art Workflow Simplified

No in-depth information on modelling techniques or normal map baking yet though. More wires to come soon.

Knight GN Custom - WIP 1

Hey everyone, it's been a while! Early this year I've been keeping myself busy (and my wallet sufficiently filled ) working on freelance jobs from a bunch of very different but cool people. Through this I get to work on a variety of subjects, including animals, watercraft and interiors.

Even so, I still wanna have some fun working in the game art category. I browsed through some of my old work and realized that the Knight needs a makeover. Hence I decided to edit it and create a GN Custom version of the Knight. 'GN' stands for Gan Ning, a Wu general in the 3 Kingdoms era, who shares the same family name 'Gan/Kam'.

I'll be giving him a different set of weapons that include a chinese 'dao', grenades, and a compact assault rifle. His role will be of a raider's, similar to his character in the Dynasty Warriors series.

Here you go.

Swamped

As of late, I have been extremely busy working on jobs I took up to bulk up my portfolio and fund some 'improvements' to my home. I shall not reveal any details, but I can say that I have been working on subjects including watercraft (think 300m in length) and small animals.

I won't be indulging in any game art for the time being, as professional opportunities are scarce and there is simply no time for personal projects. Calvin out.

B1 Battle Droid WIP 2

I'm back in action! Completed the hi-poly torso today after a few hours of Maya love.
No sculpting work at the moment, so no eyes on the head yet. Ready to work on the arms!

Red Wolf Tech Logo

In the blink of an eye the CNY season nears its end. Time to get serious and get work done! Recently revamped the Red Wolf Tech logo, gave it a more intimidating pose as well as some depth by showing all four legs. Awaiting feedback for this one.

Someone called for updates, and I shall deliver. Been working on the team logo during my free time, I've been doing a lot of cleaning around the house lately.

Out Of Commission

Been really sick recently, fever + vomitting + diarrhea + nausea really sucks. Even the thought of turning on the PC gives me a headache and a sudden urge to throw up. For the first time in a very long time games too,  made me want to barf. Okay I'll stop here I can't really compose sentences properly anymore I just thought that I should let you guys know that there won't be any major updates soon. Calv out.

B1 Battle Droid - First Look

Started work on the lovable and oh-so-killable battle droids of the Confederacy. Modeling purely from photo references is a challenge; I have to rely solely on my observational skills to get the model look as similar as possible.

Windows Live Messenger Woes

For f***'s sake Microsoft, fix the damn program already! I was amazed by the amount of hits I got with "can't sign in MSN", 260 million to be exact. After hours of searching, I finally viewed the log file generated using MSN, and pinpointed my problem : MSN was disconnecting itself everytime.

Messenger:Zone_Contact_Platform_Errors Contacts store failure, forcing Logoff

Armed with specific information on what's wrong, I searched yet again, and hit the jackpot.

This solution works for the problem where MSN does not return any error message after failing to sign in, and simply leads you back to the login screen. Go HERE to read about it.

For other MSN problems, try MSN Errors, salvation might just be around the corner.

Cheers, and have a Happy New Year.
