work in progress

Heres what I’m submitting. Not awful. Lots of tweaking I’d like to do.

Edit:
12:27:33 AM [광희]Saint Snorlax: looks delicious
12:28:33 AM karyblack: I never thought of it that way before
12:28:39 AM [광희]Saint Snorlax: big legs
12:28:43 AM [광희]Saint Snorlax: like hocks of ham
12:28:44 AM [광희]Saint Snorlax: mmm
12:28:44 AM karyblack: what are you thinking… sort of a chicken thing?
12:28:49 AM karyblack: hmmm
12:28:51 AM [광희]Saint Snorlax: well
12:28:55 AM [광희]Saint Snorlax: maybe too tough
12:28:57 AM [광희]Saint Snorlax: those legs look built
12:29:03 AM karyblack: biped, that’d be tough meat, tons of flavor though
12:29:03 AM [광희]Saint Snorlax: perhaps that fatty underside
12:29:09 AM karyblack: that could work
12:30:42 AM karyblack: well that gives me some material for the blog entry at least

What a interesting shader… finally done understanding it (it’s not -that- complicated once you realize there is a map in the wrong slot ).  Fun, interesting and time consuming

Learning a ton about SSS right now.  Fascinating topic as it turns out, and I look forward to trying it out with a human or similar, something easier to compare for results.

Massive flickering, it’s done with very quick draft settings, but I’ve got a start to play with:

Going to try to get the diffuse done tonight, but proof it’s rendering in max with displacements!

Did 3/4s of the cage and a quick set of useable UVs, really was motoring along. Then tried to pull the maps out… oh the nightmare, a good 45 minutes later I finally tried (what I thought was ‘another’) Xform and suddenly it rolled over. How frustrating to have it all be so simple… and come down to me thinking I’d reset it before I exported it the first time. Worked in the end, but when it’s a simple switch that kills you like that it’s so painful.

I think…

Haven’t got to the mapping yet… but so far this is a straight up fun way to work.

Coming along a bit, 650,000 polys right now, probably do one more sub division in some areas, it’s a pretty simple character so I won’t need to sculpt tons.  I guess it might be higher in spots for surface detail, but bridge cross to it come when.

Nice to do a non master copy for a change.  I feel like they’ve helped since I last did a photographic copy, but there is a ton to learn.  Also need to get environment practice in…  need fast persp grids.
