Spectacular 3D Entry: Jim Heathcott
Well as usual I will be building a bunch of new toys for this scene. This time I am going to concentrate on tin toys. Which is a pretty good challenge in terms of getting the UV maps and the textures to look decent. I have one idea about a possible scene but I am going to save that for now and just concentrate on doing some models and textures. I will be doing a sketch later but for now I can tell you that this image will have a cast of thousands. Images to follow shortly.
I decided to start out easy after totally screwing up an attempt at building a robot. Simple model but pretty clean. Needs to have the symmetry sides fixed in place and then the edges worked.
A little test to see how the UV map works. The textures for these tin toys will make or break how they look so I will be pouring a lot of work into them.
I decided to convert the birdy model into a Raven. I am sort of thinking of going in a darker direction. But for now I will keep it open and just build a bunch of stuff.
unique concept, wonderful ! I have nothing to say in this moment, just watching what you do !

Progression of a tin toy head. Early modeling, quick texture draw out, line art texture. I will probably go back in with bodypaint and rework some more. I am trying to learn vector drawing, but but I suck at it and getting the maps to play nice with the UVs is tricky.
Guess who?

Indeed…
