These are great. Are thoses designed all by you?
How did you attached autoplay, looping vimeo video?

[Capital_G]

Berreck - Thanks very much!

SpiritDreamer - Thanks man, I'm glad you like it, I might try and put those two concepts together

Dman3d - Cheers dude!

/idkfa - Thank you very much

Derek Frenzo - Thanks for dropping by!

JoseConseco - The Elderbeast creature is based off concept work by the guys at Creature Box (creaturebox.com).
The rest of the character designs are my own, the two recent characters (Grounds keeper + Tourist) were more of a team effort. We discussed the characters as a group, came up with ideas, then brought them together as one - I then sculpted them in Zbrush.

Thanks everyone for the great support, I look forward to sharing more with you all!

JoseConseco- I just noticed I didn't answer your question, to upload a looping Vimeo video you can select a little embed button on your vimeo video page which pops up a window with some code and options, one of which is "looping' then its just a case of copying it to a new thread post.

I hope this helps!

Hi everyone, I have been away for sometime working on a short animation, good news is that I finished it, yay! ( More about that in my next post)

During the making of the film the team and I had a visit from the BBC, they were making a documentary about the animation industry in Belfast and wanted an interview with yours truly.
I am rubbish in front of the camera (and off it ) so to make up for my crap interview I agreed to create a sculpt of the presenters face, you can see my progress below.



The model has been entirely created, textured and rendered inside Zbrush4R2, I'm so impressed with the new rendering and matcap stuff.

I must note that the textures are about 80% from photos taken of the presenter, with the rest touched up with polypaint.

Have a great day everyone
