Oddworld Scrab Stage 1

It's been ages since I did any sculpting. I've been busy doing some other stuff.

Recently I got myself Zbrush as I really wanted to mess with the Dynamesh stuff for quick concepting. It works. This model was made with dynamesh, mesh extract and started as a sphere.

It's a Scrab from the Oddworld games. I got the Oddworld book for myself a few months ago and just had to have a go at making something from it. Those creatures are great.

Here's a picture from the book.

I still want to detail it a bit more and I'll take it into Mudbox for painting. I'll have to do something with UVs for that though.

Nemesis Textured Stage 3

New computer all set up and everything installed. Lovely. Loads more vram means it's much quicker for texturing. I finished off the spec and reflection masks in one sitting.

It'll be much easier to do a full length character on this machine so that'll probably be my next project.

I might also take Nemesis into Max to do a proper render.

Nemesis Textured Stage 2

Finished off texturing the detailed bits. Adjusted the colour of the skin to add a bit of warmth. Played further with patterning, but thought I was overdoing it and reverted to the subtler look I had before.

No spec yet. That's next.

Nemesis Textured Stage 1

First pass on the texturing. It's far from finished yet. I'm trying out some patterning right now. I'll probably adjust the colouring too. I might add more browns like the tip of the beak.

Nemesis Stage3

It's been a while since I had a chance to work on Nemesis. I've now finished adding the skin detail, worked up the spine and done a bit to the strap.

Next, paint.

Nemesis Stage2

Added asymmetry, refined the mid level details, added a vein layer and the mouth grill. Brought in a strap model.

I've started skin detail, but that's going to take a while, so I've hidden the layer in the grab.

Gollum High Res

Another high res grab for the article.
