ZBrush power, activate! I’d still like to work on him a bit more, as there are some unfinished parts, but here’s a work-in-progress for now!

I need to figure out how to put eyeballs in these things :)

(According to CalArts). Here are some screenshots from a Z-sculpt I made last night (errrr this morning) of my main character, sans eyes and hair. This was somewhat inspired by James Gurney’s visit on Friday– he suggests that if you want to get realistic lighting/foreshortening/etc of a fictitious character, make a Sculpey (or in my case, Z-brush) maquette of them to work off of. It really, REALLY helps!!!! oliviazbrush1oliviazbrush2oliviazbrush3oliviazbrush4oliviazbrush5oliviazbrush6oliviazbrush7

Tonight I made a model in Zbrush, saved 3 facial “states” (static, pleased and amazed) and exported them as .obj’s, which I opened in Maya and put together using blend shapes. Not only can you seamlessly morph a chunk of polygons from one state to another, but you can even combine states! Here’s the result.
blendshapesstatic

The “static” facial state, also the original model that the others derived from.

blendshapespleased

The “pleased” facial state (smile’s a little quirky, I know) :P

blendshapesamazed

!!! Amazed !!!

blendshapescombo

And to my great surprise, you can COMBINE facial states– as you can see, the mouth is partially open (attributed to ‘amazed’), but smiling (‘pleased’), and the eyes almost look like they’re laughing, yet the brows imply that they didn’t quite get the joke. hehehe. This is FUN!

Hooray for moving sets! :D

Along with the new 3D page and that monsteroid, here’s a couple of commissions I just painted:
