The ones I am sorta happy with. This is building up to something in 3D. Also have been doing quite a bit of python at work, so expect some random maya/modo python posts in the future...<br />

Lots has happened. Got a new job, moved to Sweden, etc. Starting to push out some more content now, but should probably throw in a catch up post. Here we go:<br />

I have the detail I want and the rest of the micro stuff I will add during the texture process if I think it needs some more love. here be the image:<br />

Crunch time right now pretty much has me working 12-15 hours a day, so the amount of modeling I get done is minimal. It makes me sad, but I try to do at least a little bit a day to keep the rust off.<br />
<br />
Here is a quick render of my last High Poly shot. No real direction here, no planning (I fail I know), so I am about to head into the detail phase. The major forms are blocked out now it is time to finish this off then move to baking and texturing.<br />
<br />

Some things that I want to change:<br />
redo the pieces with the "wut?" text pointing to them. They are too smooth and don't really fit with the rest of the piece. A buddy sparked a cool idea where I sort of create a cage of mirror like objects that are used to bounce the light around and create the holo image in the middle. I will try some stuff and see what I can come up with. I am really really liking sub-d modeling though. Learning new tricks and using tools in ways I had not thought of before. More soon, work permitting :(z0ltanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01955729063706984346noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2353001382282042590.post-48070595206200844602011-08-31T10:02:00.000-05:002011-08-31T10:02:23.811-05:00Wheeew a blogSo I finally decided that a blog would be a decent way of cataloging my adventure towards a job as a game artist. One of those jobs I didn't even know existed when growing up, but the thought of working in an environment were every single person around you is creative is exciting. Much to learn, a long way to go, but I want it, bad.z0ltanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01955729063706984346noreply@blogger.com0
