Ziva Game Model/ Maya Fun

Ziva/Website

Modeling progress, retopologizing over the decimated sculpt. We're using the initial Finley proportions for rigging efficiency.

Also started playing around with Wix again http://www.wix.com/uberkudzu/portfolio

Ziva - Radiant Enemy

Update to concepts. Also started working with 3dCoat for retopolgizing our base sculpt.

The bottom right idea is what we mostly settled on. We were wanting to keep the half-mask, tall boots and 'jacket' ideas. Ran into a few problems with the character looking like existing characters so some changes were in order. Added the separate cincher/corset over the jacket-esque shirt for a unique appeal. Poofed out  and laced up the sleeves for detail opportunities. I'll probably be adding extra adornments for portfolio, post game implementation. Yay modularity!

2nd Project

Character/Creature  model/sculpt. Possible place for cloth dynamics in UDK/Maya for accessories and/or appendages. 

Outline

• Concepts (In Prgoress)
• Modelling/Retopolgy
• Sculpt
