Next clue ;)

Hello again!
Here is the next clue in the following images. Got the the rig and controllers done with a couple of hours in my spare time! I'm sure you can tell what it is by now :P But if not im not telling... yet.
Just the weighting to do and then this model is complete and ready for animation. Once that is done all will be revealed ;D

Dinosaur Work!

I started out doing a dinosaur project, just doing some dinosaurs and pushing my skills. This project taught me a lot and all the work was done by me.

I first started with a base mesh, which was simple and very very low poly, which would later become my proxy for animation and my hit box if i should want to put it in engine. I then imported that into ZBrush where i sculpted in a lot of the fine detail and painted on the texture. I went for simpler almost cartoony style textures.
Instead of exporting out the base i went to the 3rd subdivision and deleted the lower ones, exporting this as my new base mesh. I had to create UV's which i did using maya and reimport it in before i could export both the Diffuse and Normal Map for my Model.
After i did this and got everything back into maya it was a case of rigging with controllers and animating my T-Rex in order to get some of the pieces you see here on this blog!

This is both my very first rig and very first animation i have done!
