WEEK 8: Business Card Design Roughs (Copyrighted)

After deciding a color palette, I decided to go with something neutrally colored, but with a satisfying gradient. Along the way, the gradient became a happy accident haha, so I went along with it. I am now working on making my business card, brochure, pamphlet and art card all compatible with one another. This color theme suits me very well. I just need to update my social pages, add a couple artwork on my art card, and should be good to go for now.

Below is where I tested my colors on a grayscale palette, and I chose a color theme and was satisfied with the gradient.

Tree Frog: Building Parts in Maya

[2-hours] I found it better to build the base mesh parts of the body of the tree frog in Maya. I began quaddrawing and extruding deminsion, and setting this up for ZBrush.

Retopology for Film / Animation

POLYCOUNT OF 499K TRIS.
Maybe I have too much, but I was doing some research, I notice that I needed to retain a polycount of no more than 800K for Film/Animation. I am both fluent in retopology for game and film, but my focus now is for film. I used Zremesher in ZBrush for retopo cleanups, retaining good flow and detail. On my next update, I'll project the highpoly detail onto the lowpoly retopos.

Revisited Arms ( Sculpted Platforms w/ TriDynamic )

BEFORE, IT WAS TOO ROUNDED AND HUGE

NOW, ITS MORE NATURAL WITH PLATFORMS.

AND NOW HE HAS REALISTIC ELBOWS AND TRICEPS.

PULLED HIM INTO PHOTOSHOP TO SEE HOW CLOSE OF MY 'HEAD-PROPORTIONS' I GOT: 7 TO 8 HEAD-SPACES THAT IS. (not bad for first try).

I AM CONSISTENTLY GOING BACK-N-FORTH BETWEEN ZBRUSH AND MAYA TO MAKE SURE MY MESHES ARE IN POSITION FOR RETOPOLOGY LATER ON. 

WEEK 7: Testing Print Tones ( Copyrighted by Audrey C. Everett )

Testing my color values for printing my business cards. I will post an update of my final draft of my brochure and card designs.

Quick Re-Sculpt of Base

My first quick attempt in sculpting out the BASE of the tree frog in ZBrush. I want to remake the base using ZSpheres and give this another shot.

WEEK 6: Intro to Animal Study ( Tree Frog! )

For my next study, I decided to study something different other than a horse or a dog lol. So I went for an amphibian! Started building my base mesh of my froggy with a dynamesh sphere.
