Buoy Texturing

Finished Last but hopefully not least.  Buoy project for Joe Gardners texturing for games class.

WIP Buoy

I am currently doing textures on this buoy model and have not completely finished..I plan on generating a normal, ambient occlusion and specularity map after completing the textures.  I plan on rendering the beauty shots in Marmoset tonight and having a finished composite.  Current progress is:

Agrimac Game Texturing Model

     This model is one that I made for game texturing class so I can learn how to unwrap and texture models..This is a work in progress so the geometry on the model will change.

Sculpting for Animators: Rodney Allen 2009 Art Institute of Atlanta

    I have never tried my hand at Sculpture until I got into Rodney Allen's class;  I am hooked.  Super Sculpey is a very unique polymer and works well for holding detail before and after baking.  I found that kneading the Sculpey would help to resist cracking by working the air out of the polymer and that obtaining form is easiest by "petting" the tones with your fingers.  To smooth the skin (even though I went for the rough look on this guy) 70-90% Isopropyl Alcohol works like a charm alongside some cosmetic q-tips.

    The Idea Here is that this guy is walking into some industrial complex and a sniper put a bullet through his head.  The moment I wanted to capture is right after the muscles start to react and when his body is actually starting to realize the magnitude of what has happened.
