#23

That is neat base mesh for your Gnome.
What application did you use to create it?
Have you ever used Zbrush to generate and modify a base mesh?

#26

NICE! tell dave igo that jonah loves him and ill be there soon!

#27

It was more than a year ago I think. Back then I was creating base meshes with Maya, polygon modeling. But now I use a generic male body for most my stuff. If you need to change the amount of fingers, or shorten the legs (by removing geometry), zbrush allows you to retopologize.

Great stuff. I wanted to comment sooner.

I have a question, I noticed a lot more model with the arms down.

I understand this but how does it effect rigging? Are there special considerations especially rigging in Maya?

Again very impressive work.

Amazingg stuffs!!! 5* for shure…

Hello Mr. Jim McPherson,

I was a gamer of Golden Axe, running under Commodore 64 :slight_smile: , in the far years '90 :smiley:

And I love this game: good work :+1:

Al.Tintop :
"and another question, what is about Gilius Thunderhead, the little dwarf, do you also work on this one? "

Yep, I did at least 3 versions of Gillius, I will wait for Sega to show him.

roquelaine :
"did you sculpt some skecth before in clay? or directly with zbrush? "
No sculpting in clay for me on this, Scott Spencer sculpted a design that was scanned.

These sculptures from our Star Wars animated line inspired The Secret Level artists to ask for something similar. This line of maquettes was done by Steve Schumacher.

I did this test below…

I thought the idea had potential as I had seen the work of Stanislav Szugalski.

So I did a quick ortho

After doing the planar version at the top of the post we were asked to try a more traditional skin treatment.

I think the Giant was a last minute cut.giant.jpglukeBySchu.jpgplaneHead.jpgstanislav Szugalski01.jpgstanislav Szugalski02.jpggiantorthoTall4.jpggiantpersp01a.jpgGiant001.jpg

Well, I found the bits the giant was used in Scott Spencer’s book very helpful so even if the giant got cut, big thank you for letting him use it. :slight_smile:

#37

yeah.that’s cracking man.i can’t wait to see him.:smiley:

btw: what do you use to sculpt the sculptures for the animated films ? is it something like SuperSculpey ?

#38

Very nice!
