This is a collab between one of my fave modeler pals Victor aka dogmaD. He did the model which I tweaked a bit and also the smoothing groups victor had setup in Max were lost in the .obj file we use to transfer between our apps...so they were rest on my end. I also Unwrapped and textured.

This is a still taken from cellshade themed animations done within shirowproject.com. You may recognize this character...he's a Fuchikoma and is seen originally in the GITS series of books.

3 of us worked on this in our spare time.
It has taken approximately 2 years to get to the stage you see. Almost 1 year of that time was spent on a VERY complex, realtime IK animation setup.

The realtime setup allows this character to be animated in "takes" via a computer mouse and keyboard with keys mapped to the various body parts and actions.

This is one of the scenes we are working on for our collab project- Models are by my awesome team mates. I do the texturing and some of the rest of the work up to comp and delivery for viewing.]]> Tue, 20 Jun 2006 14:32:59 +0000 http://softdistortion.cgsociety.org/gallery/372252

Unwrap and texture for another collab team working on a PC based game called Petals of Pandora.
They finished the game on time and it looked quite good, especially considering the small team did the whole thing in 2 1/2 months.]]> Tue, 20 Jun 2006 14:04:17 +0000 http://softdistortion.cgsociety.org/gallery/377653

Another view of this character. They called it the Colossus since it is in a similar style to the SOTC PS2 theme. It's 25' tall although in game it looks to be taller.
Todd on the game design team did a really good job at adding some originality to it by creating some fun motion sequences for this character. ]]> Tue, 20 Jun 2006 14:20:29 +0000 http://softdistortion.cgsociety.org/gallery/372272

Shirowproject is also doing cellshaded scenes and clips.
Again, models are by our talented team mates (the set is a lo res model I did).
Also thanks to Jaques^T for working on this with me as he helped form the main part of our "no plugins used" cell look and allowed me to ellaborate on that. What you see in this render is what we call Type3 cellshade. It includes some standard cell techniques along with UV and imagemap layers integrated as well.]]> Tue, 20 Jun 2006 14:40:08 +0000
