Adventures in Zbrush

First post in an age (due to work commitments) and last of the year, playing around with Zbrush and working it in to my modo workflow. Zbrush sculpt, modo render and photoshop clean up.

Edge of Tomorrow Concept art

I was very fortunate to spend most of 2012 working in Oliver Scholl’s UK based art dept working on Edge of Tomorrow. Taking my lead from Oliver I produced concepts and illustrations for vehicles and environments. Due to the combination of the people in the art dept and the subject matter of the film it was one of the most rewarding and creative experiences I’ve had working on a movie. Most of the below visuals are a combination of sketchup and photoshop.

J-Squad Barracks 

Working with Vehicle Art Director GaryTomkins, I worked on a military vehicle that could be the same from the waist down but the top half would be reused-redressed from a manned jeep to an unmanned supply drone

 Playing around with the sculpting tool set in Modo 801

Snowmobile!

A little bit of quick sketching in photoshop lead to an idea I wanted to follow up with a modo model. Finished visual is a modo render with photoshop paint over.

Helmet sketch model

No new personal work to post at the moment to work commitments but here is something I knocked out earlier in the year. Modo and Meshfushion. I didn't mean for it to look like  Kidney bean from the side! just happened that way

Flintlock Grapple Gun

Because…you know…why not?

Modo with just a hint of photoshop

Car Sketch

More playing around with Modo and Meshfusion, a very quick and simple sketch model in modo with a little more time spent on the render and touched up in photoshop.

Modo / Meshfusion practise

I recently bought the new Meshfusion plugin for Modo and needed a quick project to get my head around the software. So I went back and built an old design for a blaster I did for season 01 of Doctor Who back in 2004. The model is 50/50 Modo and Meshfusion and render in Modo.

Cyberman re-design

IN 2008 I wrote a tutorial for ImagineFX magazine on rendering a Cyberman in photoshop. As a modelling experiment I took the design and built it in Modo for practice and these are some of the renders.

 this was the old design I drew up that I based the model on.

Here's a finished visual taken from the modo model I posted a few weeks back.

Modelling and re-modeling in MODO

First blog in an age! (due to work commitments). This is an old design from last year which I have re-modelled in MODO which I've been learning since last November. It's still a work in progress and needs a full UV map with break down and rust.
