I love it! style finesse and great presentation!

Great collection of characters…:+1:

I like the concept in post #86 alot…Maybe have the kid with the camera in your last post,…as a tourist visiting the tribes that are in the concept in post #86:smiley: :grimacing:

Terrific characters:+1:

ElderBeast is killer :smiley: Coolness all around!

Looks good!

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

Berreck - Thanks very much!

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

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 :slight_smile: ) 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

Great work! Please let us know when the Documentary will air. Cheers. :smiley:

I just came across the Elderbeast … I guess that’s what they mean when they say an older person is “long in the tooth”. LOL! :lol:

I also love the way the Grounds Keeper is sweeping off the turntable!

chalkman - Haha Thanks man! I will certainly post up a link to the documentry when its online, everyone can then see me splutter my way through an interview :smiley:

Thanks for stopping by
