I named this project White Death. I putted a lot of work in to it because i needed it to prove my skills for a fantastic job and i wanted it to be perfect. I have both of the models on sale for the ones that are interested.
-the non animated seal is 195$
-the animated seal 295$
-the non animated shark is 250$
-the animated version of the shark is not yet posted but it will be soonI made the seal in zbrush 2. The difuse map is a huge 4096 by 4096 tif image Please note that i studied hundreds of images and many seal documentaries so that i get a perfect anatomy of the model. All the features that you see on it are the result of many hours of work and study. The seal looks exactly as you see it in the gray background images. Those are just screen captures from zbrush...not even rendered images so you can imagine that it will look stunning in your renders Please watch the images that i added for a close look at the model. The rig of the seal is extremely simple to use. You dont even have to see the bones. I created helpers and sliders to maximize the workflow. I used 3dsmax 8's skin wrap so you can animate on the low res model(2110 polis) with maximum speed and when you're ready for the render you can just hide the low res mesh and unhide the high res mesh(134560 polis) wich inherits the movement. The movement of the spine and neck is adjusted with bezier curves so you're model will always be easy to pose. Please watch the preview video to understand the rigging better |
