Bridge: High Res

 

This is my high res bridge. I fought for my life, my shoulders hurt but I think it looks pretty ok! I really like how the wood planks turned out. For the metal things in the wood, I used the mesh thing in zbrush and I edited it that way. For the bricks, I'm planning on using a normal map for it but the placeholder weirdly got affected by dynamash. Also one of my bricks just disappeared in zbrush but it was still showing up in my subtools? I don't know man, zbrush is weird. I also fought for my life to get those cracks in the rocks but alas, its there. 

Rifts of War: Concept Art

 

So this is a car for our environment. This is an asset that I got from the Fab store and then I recolored it in blender, I rendered it and took out both the raw render and depth pass and then I sent it to Trevor so he could put it in the compositor and put the kind of painting filter over it. 

I had originally modeled my own car but it looked like a lego so I scrapped it. I started to model it again but the proportions didn't look right. I'm in the process of modeling it again and its looking good because I finally decided to watch a tutorial. I will add it to this blog post when I'm done!

I am glad that I got feed back since I'm not done with it yet because now I can implement it while modeling. I WILL have that car done lol. I REFUSE to be outdone by an inanimate object that I'm making hahaha. 

Orb Bridge Pt.1

 

Look! It's a board!!! Pixar needs to hire me IMMEDIATELY. I struggled, I tried, and I gave it my best shot. I do like the overall composition of the bridge though! 

Tripod Color

 

This is my color pass of the Tripod. I started by looking at a bunch of different ratchet and clank enemies and I feel like even though they were enemies they were still somewhat brightly colored and so I wanted to translate that into my colors. I really had no ideas what colors I wanted to do. I just started with red and then I fiddled around with adobe's color scheme maker and then I settled on these colors. I wanted to keep all of the greys a kind of cool toned blueish grey, because I thought that just a regular grey would be boring. Trevor did help me with the vibrancy of it because in my original, it was looking a little dim color value wise.
