Showdogs This was an early test i did at Lipsync on showdogs to let the client know we are on the right track on delivering a cg dog to them. Done in Yeti and Maya and rendered with Arnold. I will see about getting some turntables out for you guys. Meanwhile here is the trailer.

Bear WIP Worked on this over a couple of weekends. A test of yeti fur system. To be honest, yeti’s clumping system is very limited compared to Xgen, Houdini, Furtility (MPC) and fcHairFilters (Framestore). But many houses use it in London so i might aswell, keep pushing it as much as possible. Although Ornatrix is making better strides in the grooming departmnet so i’d like to take a look at that soon.

Helena Modeled in Zbrush, retopo’d in Topogun, textures in 3DCoat. The above style done in Houdini and Blender. Shading in Houdini/Mantra, along with eyes (procedural). Working on two costumes and more hair styles. Soon to be featured in a tutorial covering Houdini 15.5 hair features. Using the new SSS model in Houdini 15. The eye is completely procedural, both geometry and texture generation. Here is an early version of it. The body has colour, displacement, reflection, glossy, attenuation (for SSS) maps spread across […]

Hitchcock An old project i picked up and reworked to make somewhat decent. Modeled in Zbrush, texture 3DCoat and Bodypaint. I also tested some blendshapes on him (old shader). I really learnt a lot modelling and texturing, the breakdown on this is in my opinion more interesting HERE. (maybe because i like breakdowns). The project on the whole was a test, on skin, hair and lighting, shading in Houdini. I also wanted to do try some cloth sim but was […]

Virgil Created for a tutorial to show off Houdini’s hair capabilities. Modeled in Wings3d, Zbrush. Texture 100% hand painted (8 x 4k Tiles). Lighting and shading in Houdini. Learnt a lot on this one, what to do and what not to do. Eyebrow, chest and body hair was all driven by skin attributes. Head & beard was custom guides sculpted in Blender. Along with his robe. I based the character on Dante Inferno’s from the Divine comedy but I then […]

Helena: Breakdown The model was sculpted from a base mesh that was re-topologised in Topogun. And then projected back on the model. Where it was sculpted further. It was then split into two models. So i could push the poly count high on the head (around 10 million polys). Textures were done in 3D-Coat. UV’s done in UVLayout

Astronaut I have not textured this but the model is complete. It is one of two costumes i am making for Helena. Cloth is hand sculpted in Zbrush. The model is built up of over 200 pieces. Many of which are compound objects merged. Most of which was modeled in wings3d (i also bought it into Silo a few times). And yes, I have renamed those objects now.
