Time for me to start on a new personal project, and this one will run and run and run.

I decided to go back, peel away the normal maps and high resolution models I am used to and work on my low poly modeling and texturing skills.

So what to do? Well I thought I would bring some of my favourite comic book heroes and heroins to life, as if being created for the Wii, PS2 or iPhone maybe? but with my own stylistic twist.

So, below is the first WIP progress shot, can you guess who it will be?

I thought it was about time I updated my showreel, so here it is -

Unfortunatly I can`t yet show any of my work on SEGA & Sonic All Star Racing untill the game is released later in the year, but watch this space for a massive update when I get the all clear

Nevercenter, the guys behind the 3D package Silo have just posted an interview I did for them early this week.

There is a great link on their homepage www.nevercenter.com but you can go directly to the interview here - Silo Interview

Managed to get some time in to work on her recently.  I have been adding hair, tweaking her skin etc. and this is as far as I have got…

Still needs lots of work, and I havn`t even touched the wolves yet

I havn`t had much time to work on my female pose recently but here is a minor update anyway.  I have playing around with flesh tones and also working on the face and hair.

When I am happy with her main body I will move onto her clothing.

I have had a few people asking where my Real Time Character tutorial lives these days. Well, you can find it under the links section or directly here Tutorial Link.

I just uploaded a new animation.

This is something I worked on a while ago but has just been completed by Finger Industries. I created and animated the main character while Finger Industries worked their magic with the rest, including a nice render job

You can view it here - VIEW - or just download it directly here - DOWNLOAD.

Enjoy!

I have been concentrating on the final piece, giving the modeling a break for a while to focus on some basic shaders.

Here is an early render -

Its in no way finished yet. Once I am happy with the base shaders I have decided to brush the dust off my graphics tablet and hand paint alot of the smaller details in.

Oh, I decided to merge the two projects so you can now see the eraly wolfman in here too

I thought I would update you on a couple of projects I have on the go. The first some of you may know about, its the posed female I have been working on in my spare time, you can see a ZBrush render of her below.

She started out as a base model, one I could store and use on future projects but I thought I would pose her and place her in a scene. She isn`t finished yet, I still need to dress her and add some more scenery.

The second project is less human. I fancied working on a werewolf and here is where I am up to now -

For both these projects I have created “Work in Progress” threads on various forums so if you want to follow their progress please go to the links below, or under my Links menu. I will however post key stages here
