Zbrush o Rama

Here are a few updates of some of the Model assets that are being worked on, Its coming together and I'm liking the Z....Only wish now would to own a Cintique rather than my 4x5 wacom.....

Arm Update

Here is the torso with the arms being worked on, still much much more to go. You can follow my progress on the 3dtotal site here
anyhow here is an update if you, like me, are too lazy to click more than need be.

Armor Time

So I have been working on the armor for the new model that as you can plainly see I have been working on. So far its fairly low rez, nothing much in the way of bevels or anything. I will up rez it later, I plan to take into Zbrush and do some hard surface (or at least attempt to) sculpting to see how well I can get it to come out. I also want to explore using spec maps and other texturing maps to get more bang for my buck, I also feel its good to know how to do them properly. ANy how here is the progress thus far.

Right back at it

So with only a small delay (recover time) I'm back to the model I was starting b4 the4 dominance war. I did the head for it yesterday and I tried a new way of modeling it. I think it cam out pretty good and although its a longer modeling process (or maybe not considering the box modeling method had me restarting about 5 times) I used poly planes and did many....MANY.....edge extrusions. Anyhow here are the results, first the head on its own and then I attached it to the original torso I have done.

Dominance War IV.......Crunch Time is Over

Well It was hard going and I learned alot over the last little while about my work process and where it can be improved.
I also got the hang of a few new apps that are pretty major for the gaming industry, infact they are pretty standard now for most of the industry and its good to know. One of them being Zbrush, the other is the normal mapping genius of an app Xnormal.
I'm not likely going to even place in the top 50, there are some incredible pieces that have been produced by people. I am however very happy with the results considering my expertise level going into this comp. So here are the final Images (not in any particular order)

Baainling

Well been working away on my entry for the Forum wide Dominance War IV, I finally decided on the name and so this post is its name sake. Here is the link to my working forum that gets plenty of updates...Actually here are the posts for the other guys from 3dtotal also ( I would have put up just mine here but the forum is having issues right now and I can't get on to it.)

Two in the Hand

Here are a couple other images that I did for the Dominance War and I ended up going with the top of the two, the lower portion of the torso I changed, I also added tendrils. Hope you like em, will post more soon but I have a lot of Zbrushing to do (that includes learning it).
