This is a new character that I'm working on. He is a mechanic in the 1970s. I'm still deciding on the hairstyle. This is the most time I've ever spent on and the most detail that I've ever put into a head. I all of a sudden have a different perspective. Instead of seeing points that make up a head, I see a head made up of points. Anyways, this is modeled and rendered in Blender, and the textures were painted in Corel Photopaint.]]> Sat, 30 Jun 2007 18:33:18 +0000 http://mindblender.cgsociety.org/gallery/363019

This is one of my better characters. It was the first character where I actually stopped to think about facial structure, and I took more time to texture it. The texture was handpainted in Corel Photopaint. The texture was only about 400 x 400. Now I'm using textures that are 2000 x 2000. The lighting in this image isn't all that great. That is one of my weakpoints. I'm working on it, though. This still is part of an at-home interview animation. I wanted a create a cool(cool as in the temperature) feeling with the light. I also wanted all the light to be coming from outside.]]> Sun, 28 May 2006 02:26:01 +0000 http://mindblender.cgsociety.org/gallery/449065

This is my current WIP. It's Tony Montana, as portrayed by Al Pacino. It still is far from perfect. I still need to work on the modeling and texturing...and lighting for that matter. All textures were made in Photopaint. The fine details were drawn by hand onto a bump map.]]> Tue, 09 Jan 2007 03:35:36 +0000 http://mindblender.cgsociety.org/gallery/399815

This is a cartoony guy I'm working on to take a break from my Hank/Jimi Hendrix projects. This project is focused on improving my lighting/animation skills. Animating a cartoon gives you more freedom to exaggerate the expressions. If I do go on to make a short animation with this guy, it'll take place in an office. The head still isn't finished yet. It's modeled in Blender. The textures were made in Photopaint.]]> Fri, 01 Sep 2006 00:51:32 +0000 http://mindblender.cgsociety.org/gallery/359931

This still isn't quite finished. I need to work on mostly the lighting and the scene, but I'm not sure when I'll get around to it. The texture is only 400 x 400.]]> Sat, 20 May 2006 22:53:20 +0000 http://mindblender.cgsociety.org/gallery/359970

This is part of my current WIP. I am currently making a character resembling Jimi Hendrix and will afterwards make a Mexican for the same project. I will make an animated short featuring the three. This texture is 2000 x 2000. This is basically the finished character.]]> Sun, 21 May 2006 01:25:33 +0000
