Back in September, I posted concepts for my original character, Lucas. After many weeks of modeling, Mudbox-ing, retopogizing, unwrapping, and texturing... here is my final. Unfortunately, we weren't able to pose our characters this time around, so Lucas is in a default T-pose. I may experiment with posing him and polishing him up over the Christmas break.

I went to the Humber 3D site today, as I often do, and noticed something very encouraging: the hallway I created was featured on the front page! Congratulations also to (in order of appearance): Andrew, Jacques, Sean, Michael, Brandon, Alex, Patrick, Ben, Stan, Charles and Michael. This compilation of hallways was created by our instructor, Paul Neale.

I apologize for the lack of updates; school has been crazy-busy for the past few weeks, and it will remain so until the last day of the semester (December 17th). Can't wait until Christmas! Over the past five weeks, I've been working on quite a few assignments, the "big one" being my 3D Graphics Production Boiler Room.

After seven eight weeks of learning, stress, and perfectionism, my hallway assignment is finally complete. 352 polygons, 666 (creepy) triangles - I managed to keep it under the 1000-poly limit. I think that I progressed a lot over the eight weeks given, and although I'm not entirely happy with the final outcome, the feedback received in class today was generally positive, and I am proud of my work. I'll definitely keep the criticisms in mind: floor material is too large/perhaps tone down the light in the foreground/add an ambient occlusion map. We received our next assignment in this class (3D Graphics Production) already! Time to get started...

There is a very large watermark on this that you may be able to spot. I hope it doesn't distract you/detract from the image.
