Possibly my last post but don't hold your breath.

Cause you might uh, well, maybe this was the wrong title for the post. Oh well, it's up there already.

The texture is in a state of done...ness. And the model is 100%. I really like how the model progressed and came to life. I think it's a near spittin image of blizzards style.

The texture looks great with awesome lighting but by itself I think it still need help. Maybe I'm to hard, lol, on myself.

The presentation is done and lookin good no thanks to power point that whore of program can die and rot in the bowels of Hell for all I'm concerned and may all it's programmers butts get infested by the fleas of a thousand camels. gooooooood times.

I never thought I'd see a resonance cascade...

Let alone create one!

Uh, I don't know how that title fits but it's up there already so what can you do?

Got some progress done on the texture. I now have up to the face mask doneish. I know time is ticking away but I'm sure it will get done.

Youtube vid!



Also, here is that same video but with a 512x512 texture. I think it's looking very WoWesque.



If I've learned one thing in this class it's that I don't like to texture characters. Will that change in the future? I hope so.

I haven't forgotten about you love...

Time sucks and I think the world is conspiring against me. Reguardless I do have an update.

The texture is coming along, it looks really clean because ist 4k x 4k and when it's reduced to 512x512 it keeps its detail fairly well. Good times. Sort of. I see more than a few sleepless nights in the next couple days...... Justin doesn't like sleepless anything......

Dear Diary, Pie is good.

Pie is really good when Amanda Lange makes it for you with love in every berry.

Modeling is done, textures have begun!

The model is finaly done. It's nice having a day off once in a while to get stuff done.....

I rendered up two vid's. One shows the model with no lighting and just ambient occlusion where the other shows the model in the lighting rig I got from http://thenexusforums.com/index.php?showtopic=109258&hl . There is also a very basic base texture on the model.

Finalish Models

The tri count after creating joints for the model to be rigged jumped up a little over 2050 and then after as much optimising as I think I could do I couldn't get it back down under 2000. So I decided to change the weapon to a more tri friendly weapon. A two handed broad sword. It's now at 1996 tris and I think I like the look of the sword more than the mace.


MOVIE TIME!!!

Something didn't look right....

Looking at the model, spinning it around, and making childish fart noises, I noticed something didn't look right. I made some more noises and listened to Bitches by ICP and then it hit me. The tail was down too low. I raised it up and it looks much better imo.
