Major Creature 3 Walk Cycle and Reflection

Creature 3 Reflection:

Creature 3 being the first creature I had fully finished in this project, was a coming together of ideas and goals for myself as well as this project. setting myself the goal of a fulling rigged model was one thing, personally I found it a greater challenge to create quadruped creature using Zbrush and its own methods and work flows to mimic the process of creating these character. I became aware of may of the problems as I proceeded through he pipeline i had set out. many of the problems where self inflicted through no knowledge of the effects they would have later on, however because of this I am more knowledgeable. Overall I really like how the creature looks. On the other hand its design doesn't allow for a whole lot of movement around the legs. But I can see how standing the creature taller may reduce some of the problems I had while animating the walk cycle. Quadruped are strange in how they move but I thing I found a good middle ground for this creature.

Maya Texturing class: Substance 3

Maya Texturing class: Substance 3 In this class we went through the process of texturing this dumpster, recapping the use of fill layers and masks in Substance before being introduced to a few new tools that helped create the look of the textures. first we used the brush to paint in height information using alpha's and different brushes to create dents and parts of pressed metal. We then added anchor points to these layers allowing them to be used is functions that use the curve texture maps generated by the software. This means on the stamps we can use generators like edge ware or light as if it was modelled geometry. We then used the projection tool to project textures onto the dumpster and push onto the paint layer, this makes it easy to add images onto the texture maps for an object. This is seen with the spray can an the Graphic Graffiti on the Dumpster. Maya Render AO Pass Final Composite
