Hello,
This is my first post, and my first experience with Zbrush.
My name’s Jamie and I have recently finished studying 3D. For my final project I focussed on a modelling and texturing project based on a famous moment in Scottish history at the battle of Bannockburn. I used 50% Zbrush and 50% Softimage XSI for the modelling. Here are some stills from the final result.
The background story is as follows:
On the 23rd June 1314, the first day of the battle of Bannockburn, the Scottish leader king Robert the Bruce was involved in a clash with the English knight Sir Henry de Bohun. The incident is said to have happened when a section of the English army were involved in a skirmish with the Scottish forces. Sir Henry caught sight of the Scottish king and started a glorious horseback charge with lance in hand to eliminate the Scottish leader before the main battle had even began. Bruce, caught unawares and apparently not fully dressed for battle remarkably stood his ground and waited for the advancing knight. As De Bohun thundered towards him Bruce, armed only with a hand axe, evaded the knights lance and struck an almighty killing blow embedding his axe-head in his oponent’s helm. Bruce emerged victorious and when told by his advisors that his actions were foolish and that he should have fled he is said to have only expressed regret that his axe had broken into pieces upon impact. This small triumph against the odds prove to be a symbol of the spirit of the Scots, their army emerging victorious despite being outnumbered by 3 to 1 by a better equipped force.
