The Invasion

2009-09-10T06:54:00.000-07:00

a small 'Invasion' experiment with some pictures from my Thailand trip. the invader thing is rendered in 3dsmax and lighting, reflection in After effects were done using the normality plugin.
whats so boring with this is the blob mesh or the meta particle things in 3ds max take a long time to render, even without lights and textures.

It was really pain retopologizing a model .. this is far from perfect, but this was the best I could do restricting myself to a time constraint ..

exp1

2009-01-20T21:36:00.000-08:00

Tried to follow a time lapse video that I downloaded somewhere long time ago .. This is where I arrived after 2 hrs of sculpting .. I should say I really had a hard time sculpting the lips .. happy sculpting :)

First 3ds Max, then Maya and then zbrush and now having touched After Effects, Im really confused which one I should be sticking to .. Every software is tempting in its own way .. Lets see which one ends to be my professional career :)
Happy fxing :)

These two are my submission in yayart.com .. If you really like my work click on the images and vote for it .. and there are lot more beautiful works of others too, have a look, admire and vote ..

I wish I could spend more time sculpting in zbrush, but now and then new things keep popping up that I loose track and go elsewhere .. Now am learning after effects, dont know how long I will be involved in this wonderful software ..

Happy painting, happy sculpting :)

Sharaswathi WIP

2008-09-21T10:27:00.001-07:00

after retopo .. still a lot more to go, a lot more to learn .. after spending all those time in retopologizing I still cant get enough polys for making the fingers, a very big mistake which I have to learn from .. I think I cant put more details on fingers.. lets see :)

Sharaswati

2008-09-18T12:17:00.000-07:00

made the base mesh in maya and then did the sculpting in zbrush .. topology is lot messed up and I cant proceed any further with shaping things which left me with painful process of retopologizing the model ..
not yet done .. still lot more to go :)

PS painting

2008-09-09T02:15:00.000-07:00

ho .. why am I doing this .. I should be sculpting in zbrush :( after getting the tablet phototshop attracts me as much as zbrush .. hmmm.. am learning some new tricks in photoshop :) hope you all find this painting appealing ..
C&C are welcome

Key Chain

2008-09-07T04:28:00.000-07:00

this is actually a key chain in my house, thought of modeling it .. and this is the first model which I started from zsphere and also enjoyed playing with the pen-tablet .. zsphere is indeed powerful :)
happy sculpting :)

Bamboo Fun

2008-09-07T00:27:00.000-07:00

atlast I got hold on one of those hitech chisels for sculpting my models in zbrush .. hope I bring out some satisfying works with this Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet 4x6 :)
happy sculpting :)

Archangel

2008-08-01T09:41:00.000-07:00

Hmm.. I did this for the Archangel sculpting challenge in threedy forum . Sure this is nothing compared to the rest of the final submissions in the challenge but am happy with what I got in 3 hours. Probably this may look much of a biker with wings :) as my mind dint work too well to think on something new :) Here you can see other entries of the challenge ..

Happy modeling :)

The making of something :)

2008-07-26T13:23:00.000-07:00

Decided to make a character right from the scratch but I dint have any sketch made . I made a simple base mesh in maya and imported to zbrush, could have started using zsphere but am not familiar with that yet. The problem with starting like this without having a topology is you go on sculpting in zbrush loosing track of time. Once you start sculpting you can never probably end it :) because you are not easily satisfied with what you have got . This is what I got after some 2 hours sculpting, and really am not pretty satisfied with it :)
Have to retoplology this one and take that to maya to stitch UVs and to add more details in zbrush. Actually I dont know what detail to add more than this, lets see how this ends up. And really I dont have a name for this character yet if anyone of you reading thsi can suggest one, it will be more of a favour :)

For a better view click on the image. Your comments and critics are welcome :)

Almost completed !

2008-07-25T03:32:00.000-07:00

Thats it .. I think am done with the biker, I have been riding on with him for long, but now its time to switch on to some other character .. Am not satisfied with his beard though, but lets have him like this for now and later if my knowledge on zbrush improves may be I will touch him a little bit .. And his body too needs a lot more detailing compared to his face, which I have to look on later ..
Happy modeling :)

Your comments and critics are welcome :)

Just for fun :))

2008-07-16T11:09:00.000-07:00

no serious modeling .. actually tweaked the biker base mesh, just for fun :))
happy modeling guys ..

Biker Boy

2008-07-12T11:25:00.000-07:00

I sculpted this model in zbrush, followed a tutorial to bring this.. I could have never done this with a 32 bit OS. Two days back I installed Vista 64 bit and it helps a lot with zbrush, apart from it its a lot annoying than xp. I dint even get an 64bit supported driver for my Ethernet adapter :( so to use internet I had no other option but to dual boot my system :( any way Im happy that am learning something in Zbrush :) happy modelling guys :)

your comments and critics are welcome :)

Its interesting :)

2008-07-07T14:00:00.000-07:00

At last I made something :)

The base mesh was provided in the tutorial cd and I pretty much followed the tutorial to achieve this ..the basic red wax material

with mat cap material applied

even though this is the fifth day am using zbrush, I feel confident that I can bring out some good models in the future .. ho . am feeling sleepy .. hope I will come up with another model tomorrow, till then happy modeling :)

Do click on the image to see full details of the model.. Comments are welcome ...

the great Zbrush

2008-07-05T16:17:00.000-07:00

Finally am into the great zbrush ..
this software is so powerful that nothing is impossible to model, if u can imagine .. I sculpted this model in zbrush right from the scratch, that is from a cube in about 10 minutes ..

Knowing is half the battle :)

2008-03-12T20:12:00.000-07:00

These are my human anatomy studies .. First it starts with the 8 head proportions and then goes with the every part of the body .. Now my brain has pretty much learned to draw a human face directly from my mind without having any reference images in front of me ..

Knowing is half the battle :) Once you know the skeleton structure of human being, you will start realizing how the muscles fit into it and eventually the better your model will be with all those anatomical details .

Many think traditional drawing is not necessarily a key skill in todays world of digital arts but my belief is as long as you are good in traditional the digital is easy to come by ..

If you want to master human sketching, I cant recommend you all a better resource that this http://the-structure-of-man.blogspot.com/

Worthy Investment

2008-02-28T05:46:00.000-08:00

This is the costliest writing instrument I ever bought and its best and worthy investment I ever made.. It costs 300 rupees .

I love to draw with this lead holder..

Hope many beautiful works come up with this ..

Happy Sketching :)

My handworks :)

2008-02-26T09:27:00.001-08:00

These are my works in arts class. These sketches were done really long back, may be last August or September.. Were done actually to gain some shading knowledge and it is always said that once you know the traditional way then its lot easier to do in digital way ..

I have also sketched Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter and Johny Depp as Jack Sparrow. you can find those sketches in my previous blogposts .

I have sketches two lead characters from Beowulf film .. Will show those to you all in my next post.. Happy sketching :)

Benz Almost Ready .,.!!.,.

2007-10-03T05:54:00.000-07:00

Everyone knows about the sleek Benz SLK 230. So famous for its retractable roof .. But my model doesn't have one . I promise, I will complete the car with the retractable roof, but not right now as am I have got other things to do ..

I have almost given it a general look. But still there are some finer details to be added, like audio system, gear leaver, speed dials . I have plans of doing those after completing the roof..

I have also modeled a dinosaur, but still dint finish it completely. There is some work to be done on the head part.. I think next week i will be posting it ..

I accept there are some tweaks here and there .. That is because I really lost my patience in doing this model and dint go back to give it a finer look ;-(

Occlusion Does Wonder !!

2007-10-03T04:47:00.000-07:00

Many of you asked me why I'm posting my works in simple grey scale and many suggested why not use the occlusion pass shader ? And here I'm guys with my 3D models rendered in Ambient Occlusion Pass Shader ... Thanks for all your valuable suggestions, for without those my models would not have felt the three dimensional depth :-)
