Calco's Sketchbook: Now in 3D!!

[pOWERVANcLARK]

keep up the rad illustrations.

Thanks Will do.

Anyone noticed imageshack tells you not to use the direct link to the image on forums, instead it wants you to use the forum link, so that if the image is clicked it links back to imageshack.....well forget that.


A little more practicing, the face looks a little blurry cause I enlarged it:




Some photos from my recent trip up north to Brisbane:

The view outside our hotel room ..... amazing 


Some shots from the Roma St Park, that place was rad :

Well, been a while, I've been busy with lot's of other stuff that isn't art, so I'm sorta in a phase where I'm not getting much practice in.

I had a quick go at sketching out a dude for a picture I want to do about my favourite song, Rebellion in Dreamland by Gamma Ray:

A little concept work:

[Calco]

Ugh, I really need a better computer, my 3D work is killing mine :S


Anyway, a little update, this is a title page of sorts for a portfolio I have to do for college, I messed around a bunch with blending options.



Not fully finished yet, might be putting in more details.

Crits welcome.

Been a while....

Experimenting:

[Calco]

A few WIP's I've worked on today, I'm brushing up on my stuff because I start my Cert IV in 3d in February

[Pieter]

Great!

[Calco]

Wow, it's been a while.

Well in the time between my last post in here and this one, I've enrolled in and am now attending the Academy of Interactive Entertainment doing my Cert IV in Screen and Media.... which is basically just doing 3d stuff, although I've been doing it for 2 years prior so I know a little more than most people who are in my class.

Anyway, heres a work in progress shot of the character Im making. The assignment was to make a character based from the Victorian era, keeping it low poly.



Im not too sure, but I think that was about a little over 1 hours work, so it's still very rough, although it is the first time I've modelled hands that weren't retarded.

[Calco]

UPDATE!:



Something like 2908 tri's are in the model (including the cane)

[Calco]

And a little look at the unwrap next to the render:




Pretty messy

[Calco]

Wip...

[Rvd]

from low poly to higher poly do you just convert it to a subdiv? or is there something im missing? and i've noticed nurbs can't me unwrapped that way cause they dont really have UV's right?
are you gonna rig it eventually?

I don't know whether I would convert something from low to high poly, Id probably just plan the model to be high poly from the beginning.
As for Nurbs, Im not really sure about those, I only ever model with Editable Polys :S
Sorry I cant be much help

I did end up rigging the character to put him in his "beauty Shot", Ill put it up here tomorrow if I remember.

PS. The Colours on the wall decoration on my last post up there ^ look horrible on the monitor Im using right now, I hope its not what everyone is seeing.
