Current version of the textures. I'm still intending to ask more people for feedback but I'm not hating it anymore! :D





Also this just happened! :D Too happy to not add this in. And TFT is coming to mobile soon! Sleep is overrated anyway :'D

PROJECT 3: Basemeshes & ZBrush

-

For the past week I have been mainly working on the three main assets for my SoT scene and well, it's been a ride. I've forgotten a lot about hardsurface modeling and in retrospect, I probably should have not picked such diverse subjects for my matrix -> picking organic character, 2D concepting and then 3D prop/hardsurface meant that I had to switch into different modes every few weeks and remember different things about all I knew in each discipline numerous times and that took way more time than I had at hand. Good thing is, for my FMP I've chosen a pretty consistent topic so I have hopefully already learned from this mistake! :D  Anyway, the stage where I had to prepare the basemeshes for Zbrush was by far the most difficult at the start. Meeting the old friends called NGons, rat nests and control loops was a memory I'm not eager to revisit; nevertheless, I pushed through it, frontloaded my meshes as much as I could to save myself some certain tears in Zbrush...

FMP: Kled - Pedestal

I admit that over the past few weeks I've gotten a little tired of my Ashe project. Fortunately I had one more project to finish presentation for - the dear Kledward Teach, which I was looking forward to get back to. Unfortunately, my laptop did not share my enthusiasm :D I think the continous daily overuse of it (ZBrush + 3dsmax + PS + PureRef + Hannah Montana soundtrack on Youtube open at he same time) caused it to get slower in the past few weeks, so much so that the textures which normally loaded in a minute in 3DCoat took 15 minutes to load (+ 2 crashes) and subsequently also took 15 minutes per each autosave :D Well, I tried to use the time strategically and write this blog during the loading time. If Hannah Montana taught me something, it's that Nobody's Perfect and I definitely can't blame my laptop for not being perfect - everybody makes mistakes, everybody has those days and " If things don't turn out the way you plan, f igure something else out!  D...

FMP: Ashe - Bow, quiver, arrows

This week I got back to the Ashe sculpt. I am liking how she looks more and more as she gets closer to the finished stage. I really want to do her justice, so I decided to take the bow feedback I got from my tutor a little further and revise the shape design I had in mind for it :) At the start, I was following the in-game version almost to a vertice but as it was pointed out to me, I have reworked a lot of her areas to fit the Wild Rift visual target, and in the end, the bow should follow that path too.  I made the following gif to illustrate its journey :) I did some fun shape design exercises pre-overpaint which helped a lot :) With the increased budget compared to the in-game Ashe model, I decided it would be a good idea to add a prop which was not modelled in the original - the quiver, which I saw on the Wild Rift Ashe model: Unfortunately I could not see it in its full view, so I had to improvise :) I did a rough concept, trying to include elements, curves ...
