Ghandi wireframe

From Mudbox to Topogun to Max. I had hoped, after Topogun, I would have the perfect mesh. Turned out, I needed to tweak the mesh a lot. The eyes and glasses are a bit bigger, than intended at first. It give this Ghandi a bit a cartoony look. I kind of like that. Also, after sculpting it will get a more realistic look.

So, this is the beginning. I have a good wireframe now. Back to Mudbox to get detail and paint. 

Will this one get animated?

New Project

I gave up on Van Gogh. Stupid me. Mostly, because I couldn't get the paint-strokes right. Also, because I really wanted to start on something new.

Again, it's someone famous. He has glasses and a mustache. Can you tell, already?

This time, I'd like to do some facial animations. I've got some vague idea for a scene, but I know me.... I might not finish it completely.

van Gogh meets Rembrandt

So, I played around with the lights. That was fun. Hopefully you can tell the lighting is based on Rembrandt's paintings.

The weird thing was, it was really hard to get this jpg to look like my rendering in Max. It kept changing the colours and messing up my dark-light-balance.

Gogh: a diffuse after all

I decided I want a diffuse map after all. This is it. Well, I am planning on improving it. Especially the lines between the hair and the skin are way too tidy. Also, it doesn't have a specular map now. The eyes could use some depth. And I haven't even touched the clothes. Shaders, lights, background, ....

Still, I am happy with the progress. I kind of like the painted-3D-effect.
