3d still collaboration - looking for training partners

#61

Had a couple of hours today while the boy was sleeping and there was a raging snow storm outside, so I started on my “male character blank” model; which will eventually be saved out in a neutral state and then developed into the male character from the story. I didn’t get enough time to keep working from the side. Did most from the front and in a user view.

Please excuse the file name. The character concept artwork is from an art exhibition on real life pirates.

Retrospectively, I have way too much detail in the mesh at this point. I think of how I spent my time and a lot was pulling individual verts or small selection sets with soft selection. I probably could have a better base mesh by sticking a bunch of hexagons together. I may play with that. Basically start over. We’ll see.

Hi guys, I’ve read this thread through. Is the project alive? Is something going on?
strange, that you’ve started to develop the characters before the whole storyboard is created. I think you should really prepare storyboard - it will make further work much clear and easier. Example: Maybe we don’t see some character in full length in any of the shots - so why to model his legs? Or the props: there are certain parts of them seen in the frame, so why detail the whole building/item, if it won’t be seen in final movie?
I am 2d artist, have basic knowledge of Maya, Aftereffects, Word :slight_smile:
I suggest to make storyboard.
