Site Navigation Improvements

Paul Large — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 23:28:15 +0000

I jumbled around how the showcase on the main page, the portfolio section and the blog tie together to try and streamline the site a bitty and not have a wall of thumbnails on the portfolio page. From now on all 2011 work will be posted as full size showcase images until 2012 when I’ll truncate the section and so on. Hopefully this makes sense.

I’m in the process of creating a sheet for a character I did in June last year so that will probably be the next update…

Inspired by the wonderful work of Jordu Schell.

This image was created in Zbrush, 3Ds Max, Vray and Photoshop in 1 day ( about 8 hours).

Info

The Steampunk Brawler was originally created last year as part of a Ruffian drive for a new IP. That IP fell through so now he’s here.

The above beauty shots were captured from Marmoset Toolbag.

Below are the wireframes, sheets and captures of the WIP model in 3DsMax.

Launching New Site

Finally took the plunge and upgraded my dwellings to take advantage of WordPress goodness. Hopefully things will work as intended but there may be some issues until I get the hang of things. The portfolio section has been updated a bit, check out some of the new work I’ve posted.

Crackdown 2

All characters had a texture sheet size of 256 x 512 diffuse and normal maps and a tri budget of 4000. Exceot the metal suit guys which used the whole 512 x 512 sheet and had 5000 tris. These budgets were very strict due to the Crackdown engine not being able to stream – instead bulk loading all assets at once.

Updated June 4th 2011

I often throw things around in Zbrush to unwind when I don’t feel like doing full on work. I’ll keep this gallery updated as often as possible, so check back often.
