Legs all textured and now in place.

This is a quick test render without any major lighting effects going on so I could have a look at how he is looking now his legs are textured. I’m pretty happy with his progress so far and now just need to pick the next part to texture.

Legs 11

Monday, January 25th, 2010

Updated test render. The mapping is working properly now and i’m building the textures up. The base metal is finished and I will dirty it up once it’s textured.

Ego-tastic

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

Ooooooooo-yeah! My website has climbed all the way up to third in google searches for ‘David Kirkby’ behind a website which has no content and a Dr. David Kirkby who has the same number letters AFTER his name as in my name. I feel like I’m in good company with those two.

I put it all down to having a blog that I fill with my random garbage as often as I can.

The joys of a nicely pressed UVW map

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Buggeration.

I thought I had got the hang of this mapping lark. There I am, happily trolling through the feet when I did a quick test render and found a load of seams which (for some reason I have yet to fathom but i’m sure there is a good excuse) don’t appear close up.


Can ya see it? yes? no? don’t care?
Its running along the toe area and up the plate above the foot and when I checked the UVW I had laid out it looks like I hadn’t joined them up properly.
*grumble grumble*
A quick scan of the axe I did the other day is clear, its just most of tonight’s work wiped out as I’ve had to redo the mapping. Its not a problem and, like most of the blunders I’ve made, its taught me a lesson. Quit being lazy and stop using the basic mapping tools in bodypaint. :p

moving on

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

This evening work has been slowed by the rather dull UVW unwrapping for the foot. It didn’t help having a DVD on the go while trying to do it.
AT LEAST I BLOODY DID SOME THOUGH!

Move on, move on…
