Back to the basics ! October - November 2017

This is batch 2 of my figure drawing routine, done in October and November. 50 x A4 rendered pieces, about 500 quick poses and some studies of Torso/Pelvis perspective, Proko calls it Robo Bean. I highly suggest buying Proko resources and stock images and also his courses are fantastic.

Some extra drawings

These are just part of some of the anatomy studies I've made. Firstly I'd like to mention of how important Glen Vilppus anatomy dvds are for me. The guy is amazing, and the fact that you get to see the way he approaches building the figure is an invaluable work method. Drawing on top of forms and not actually interpreting contour is one of the best things I`ve learned so far, not to mention some heftly little details as to where eye attaches and how much of a space there actually is from the corner of the eye to the start of the nose and so on. Follow this link here in order to get his dvds, the guy is amazing and the dvds are totally worth their weight in gold :)) http://anatomytools.com/products/dvds?show=dvd On a side note I`d like to take a few moments to explain my research methods and how I currently apply them in my own practice, and why I think that the way I work is really beneficial. One of the most important thing we, as game artists, must be careful and cons

Blurgha - The Beast (Real-time model)

So I`d like to present my latest real-time creature model done for "The Beast" competition hosted on Polycount by Allegorithmic. My attempt was to bring a creature from concept stage all the way to production level and test out Substance Painter`s baking and procedural texturing capabilities on dense meshes with multiple UDIM`s. After low poly was done, pretty much everything else was done in Substance Painter, baked perfectly in one go by playing with the Near/Far rays , then texturing was done mostly procedural (minus a few masks I had to paint myself) . The mesh has about 100k triangles, re-topologised for animation with proper UVs, spread on 4 UDIMs at 4k texture-set each. I`ve used Pixologic Zbrush for concept and sculpt phase, Topogun for retopology , Maya for mesh cleanup and UV mapping and finally Allegorithmic Substance Painter for Bake and Texture. Rendered in Toolbag / Marmoset 3 Beta. Rigging and skinning done by my amazingly talented workmate Perry Leijt
