Thanks guys!  I had a lot of fun with this guy, I think after I finish my freelance work I'm going to do some more 3d renditions of my favorite indie game characters.

hurry along now

hurry along now

Hehe, I know which character I want to do next but first I have to finish some hi res work for my portfolio so I can find a job.  Sadly the only freelance work I've had is from the same studio that just laid me off, strangely enough.

I love those velvet shaders (the one that gives Galaxy-like highlights to the character).

[Chris Z]

It's really just a fake Fresnel term where you highlight based on the result of an inverse N dot Eye to some power.  At least that's how I do it.

I was having some fun coming up with a crystal like effect for the staff of the character I'm working on (the lizard guy I posted earlier):



And here's the actual geometry:

I needed a break from all the high poly work I've been doing, so I took some time out to do some fan art for one of my recent favorites:

and here's a slightly different version where I was playing around with some real time shaders to get a Mario Galaxy style rim lighting:

I used the games loading image as my character reference, but took some liberties with details.

Looking pretty good, love the second one, but what's with that yellow circle on his chest? I think a manly tuft of chest hair would fit better.

[Chris Pavia]

It was supposed to be a pendant or necklace of some sort, but I agree that a tuft of hair (or at least a hint of it) would be better.

Thought I'd post an update to my lizard guy from earlier:



Still got to finish his hands when I can find the free time.

Chris(t) that's pretty

[Chris Z]

Wow nice job Chris!  Did you author the scale texture manually or generate it somehow?  I like the off-color scales and the larger and less frequent rougher looking ones.

[Chris Pavia]

Here's a view of just the normal map:


For the scales, I took a picture of snake scales that I got off google, tweaked it in PS then set it as a stencil in Mudbox so I could paint them on quite easily.

Wow such talented artists here! This is my best 3D. Lol subdivision and wood shader.
