Lunch crunch and other doodles

[kremrhi]

Hi

I’m a character artist at Beenox, Activision, and with my coworkers we recently started to do lunch crunches.
I’m still quite new to work with this time limit, but here is the result of what I get for these few first weeks.
I hope you guys like them.
I’m open to any comments, critiques, or tips and tricks that can help to improve my result in this time frame.
I will try to keep this thread updated.

We keep the themes that we think have potential in an old box and pick one few minutes before lunch, if you ever have some cool theme to propose write them bellow, we might add them ;).

I love them all.
Fantastic pieces!

Hope you get something to eat nevertheless?!

My favorite definitely has to be the Squig so far.

Does someone pick the subject for you? I may begin doing this, as I’ve seen countless others do it here, and it seems like a real good way to concentrate and improve on fundamentals.

@Ugahbugah : For the subject, we put every subject that we think could be cool in a box and we blindly pick one 15 minutes before lunch. Most of time we are around 3 participants and we try to choose different character within the theme. We were wildly inspired by what Sony Santa Monica did with there lunch crunches.
It’s indeed a really good exercice to progress, as it force you to find some solutions to get some fast results.

@Jake Rupert : Thank you, and yes don’t worry I still manage to eat during the sculpt process

Really cool work .

You have done this in only 1 hour, it is impressive !

Here I made a mini Tuto on how to get some good transparence in your BPR render (I hope it will help), if you have some questions don’t hesitate.

[Dolikrane]

Thks for explanation.
You re not playing at all with BPR transparency settings in the render palette ?

[kremrhi]

nope, just the BPR transparency option in the tools menu.
I didn’t try yet to use the options in the render menus
