Knight of the Lionheart Order (Work In Progress)

Hey everyone, so its been a few days I last uploaded anything and thats mostly because i've been working on something big. Well complicated anyway...

After all the weapons and props and monsters I decided to try something a little more difficult in Mudbox, a full human character in armour. I've started with the base Mudbox human template and worked from there.

2 Days later and heres how he's looking so far. I'm going for a Knight sort of look, heavy plated armour with some nice ornate details on it. He's a member of the Lionheart Order so a few Lion insignias too. Anyway take a look let me know what you think.

Octo Brain Pt 3

Hi All,

Been hard at work with this all day and the modelling and texturing is just about done now. Painted the Diffuse map, reworked the Normal Map a little and finally got my head around Specular Maps.

In total i've spent about 3-4 hours modelling the base shape in Max, another 3-4 hours creating the higher poly version in Mudbox and then around another 4 hours painting and texturing it. Its starting to look pretty cool now. If I can be bothered i'll be rigging it next, then maybe creating a scene with a few of them swimming around in a tank.

In the mean time I wanna do a decent render then touch it up in Photoshop.

Octo Brain Pt 2

Hey everyone,

Remember the Octo-Brain yesterday, well here's how the high poly version looks. I just need to figure out a way to transfer all of that detail onto the lower poly model now it has a different (better) UV layout from the bigger model.

Pretty amazing how quick I can take a base model and make it look details and cool now I understand how Mudbox works, just hope I can transfer that detail across.. or atleast hopefully recreate something as good if I have to start again from the base mesh.

Mud Monster

Just a little taste of how the monster (which I still need to name) looks in Mudbox at the moment. Obviously right now i've only focused on detail around the face for now but its starting to come together.
