Refresher Course

Hey it's not 6 months later! Score one for Emmet.

First day of ISACON 2011 today. Really good day. Neil DeBurch was brilliant and it was great getting an insight into games and game pipeline from Graham Gallagher. He also showed us a showreel which inspired me to get my butt in gear and get back into my 3D more.

Also, I needed a refresher in preparation for Production.

So here's what I've been doing this evening.

This is actually an old model that I started in October of 2009 (yikes) and keep coming back to to work on. There were a lot of problems so I deleted the head and the feet, gonna rework the hands and arms (yikes, look at those elbows) and completely remodel the head.

I got the inspiration to return to this model from seeing these: http://www.zbrushcentral.com/showthread.php?t=097394

And I think the whole Assassins Creed/Prince of Persia influence is pretty obvious. Here it is with a bit of a texture. Prolly change.

And from the back...

New lighting in Max is weird. But man does it make it look nice!
