Zbrush 3


Ok, so now that the Halloween contest is over, I've decided to start learning Zbrush. I have to say, the program is incredibly easy to learn. The picture I have included in this post is a head that I previously modeled in Lightwave, but sculpted using Zbrush. The sculpt didn't take very long, I'd say 30 minutes to an hour (being new to the app, I'm still learning where all the tools are, and what they are).

Scarcity


My posting on here has been scarce. I've been busy with a lot of things in life, mainly improving my modeling, texturing, lighting, blah blah blah skills. I've entered a mini challenge on http://www.spinquad.com for fun, there's no real prize, just a model to be used in the next big challenge, everybody who enters the challenge gets that model though. The challenge was to model a toolbox and three to ten tools to go inside of it, this image is just a test texture/lighting/render job I did while bored. If you want to see the actual models, go here:

The challenge ends on the 30th, I might get some more models done up before then, or not, depending on my mood.

Hello Kitty


As a modeling exercise to improve my skills, and after much searching,
I decided to model Hello Kitty. This was a very fun character to work on,
and has turned out nicely. In the middle of modeling my version, I found out
about a 3D animation currently in the works, check out their blog, it's very interesting(http://blog.sanriotown.com/3danimation:hellokitty.com). I have to say, I'm finding toon modeling to be very fascinating. :)

Me

Hello, This is Banished, I also go by another name on computer animation forums; Animasta. I've been teaching myself how to do computer animation since August of 2001. It hasn't been an easy process, but it seems to be working out. On this blog, I will be posting my works; feel free to comment on them.
