say what?

Ok so got my marks back for the interim presentation to day via email. Turns out what I though was a shaky presentation to begin with must have gotten my idea cross rather well because I received an A for it, Woot! This is good because it's just another sign that last year i made the right decision to come back and give it another go rather than settling for what would have been a narrow pass at best.

Whaaaaaat!!....

ok so this will give you an idea of what the renders are going to look like. comparing them to my 2D vector stuff there is not much difference between the too which is great. this means come post production time it is going to be a whole lot easier to make them look like they belong in the same scene.

Ok insert random pic of the day here done by no other than me of course :D

Rig Update :P

As you can kind of see the rig is getting there, just a few more tweaks and some set driven keys and it will be finished. Then the weight painting will begin :(

Fun with rigging :?

As if lol, had a go with Setup Machine but it appears as if my model is too short and stubby for SM to weight paint it properly and because SM uses so many joints for some reason it would really confuse me as when it comes to fixing the weight painting. So instead i'm just going to make my own rig, should have it done by tonight, controls by tomorrow and weights painted by the end of the week.

Textured Ninjaz :D

Here is just a few shots of the ninja model now with the textures applied, not sure how much more work needs to be done to them but for now they are pretty much done. WOOT!!! :D

Guardian Cave!

Just a panel showing the cave in which the guardian and the magical feather reside.

Nightmares are a Bitch...

Another panel piece depicting the daemons that hunt the ninja in his sleep. Enjoy :P

I Hates UV's... lol

Just as small update. Finished tweaking the ninja model for now and have gone on to uvs and texturing. First attempt at the ninja's UVs is complete and have started blocking in colour on the textures. so far so good :P

the Guardian

another character, this guy will be 2D :P
