Bautta & Samson

Bautta & Samson:

So here is My 3rd Character of my Venetian Masquerade Project!

Bautta!... which is from the Mask famous from the Venetian Carnival.

I used my Samson Horse model based from the Disney Sleeping Beauty Movie as part of the knight style and design i wanted for these model in which I implemented my own designs and life reference for the Armour and pose of Samson




So here I have a one shade of color version of the model,to better appreciate the Model details.
I used Maya and Zbrush to make and do these model that was Designed by my friend Robert Barros, who took all my suggestions,ideas and reference and came up with these awesome design for the Bautta character and took even further the already cool design of the mask to an even more bad ass look!. Thanks Rob...WTHM!




So here is the Wireframe of the Models at different angles where can be appreciated all the different details as well as the structure of how I made the models.




So here is the Samson horse Wireframe by itself.. with the purpose to show, the topology of these model, and show that these horse can be rigged and deformed to pose and yet is possible to keep good detail on the areas of deformations.
These is something I wasn't really paying attention and implementing on my previous models, but is something I learned while at Disney to build models that are not just good looking when rendering.. but that can be actually used for animation and able to deform well.




Was these part of the Disney training....???

Bautta without Bautta...???

Bautta character Without Bautta Mask!

So here is my 3rd character from my Venetian project, which I re-did from almost scratch. That was because while at Disney I realized of certain things I learned and was doing wrong, so the logical thing was to put into practice what I learned and fix the many mistakes I had on the topology of the original model which found it easier just to start almost all over again!.. which wasn't a bad idea at all.
I certainly experimented with these one on the Head and went a bit too Hi res.. but it was a good practice to do more organic modeling.
Also these is just the character itself.. which was designed by my friend Robert Barros, and soon enough I will be posting "Bautta" as it should be with the Mask! and rest of the costume.
I will be showing it on my next post!..

Can't wait to get these done and move to the Doge Palace, while I apply for jobs!

until then.. hope you guys like these new model! and come back soon for the other version!

cheers

Sleeping Beauty: Samson

So here is the Samson Model I have been re-doing!

These has been an awesome, fun and challenging model to do. as I tried to figure out the best possible way to have a good topology that would be good for deformations for rigging and Animation.
I had the Great chance to see Stuart presentation at Disney about Horse Anatomy.. which solved many of the mysteries and confusion about the pectoral area of the horse, which I had tried to figure out before.. but never truly understood why it changed soo much the muscles on that area, but after the presentation and trip field to the Burbank Equestrian center.. now it does make sense.

I will in the future try to explore further the horse anatomy.. but for now.. hope you like my Samson Horse that I did in Maya and Zbrush.











Here I am with the rest of the Disney Trainees! .. I am the one with the Mickey ears.




Resistance 2 Models:

So here I have posted more Resistance 2 models I did during my internship at Insomniac Games!
I also did Many of the multiplayer maps found on the game and strategy guide of Resistance 2.













with the upcoming release of Ratchet and Clank a crack in time later these year.. you might be wondering where he has been...
well he was on a short vacation in the Panama Canal with VIP access during his visit! lol XD



I will have more Disney and Mickey Mouse pictures on future posts! :D WTHM!

My Dad 3D model!

Hi so here is a Model I did of my Father! who's birthday was a couple of days ago.I wanted to do it as a present for him, since Thanks to my Dad and the support of my family I am grateful that I have been able to study and pursue my artistic career and accomplish many of my dreams as a kid!, which it wouldn't had happened if it wasn't for their belief on me, as well as their support.
So Thanks! DAD I am dedicating these for you!

So I did these model in Maya and used Zbrush to sculpt the proportions, although these model looks more like a younger version of my father.
It was also a good exercise to practice my organic modeling skills, which is an area I have to keep practicing to keep improving.
hope you guys like it!
I will have more work up pretty soon!
