I spent this week modelling some final things i needed before i start my animation in the coming weeks. I only had to create a stand for the gem my character will steal, and the gem itself. I feel like they have pretty simple but effective designs that show what they are at a glance. … Continue reading Final Animation – Week 4 →

I just beveled and extruded some of the faces to make it look like a coin, then booleaned a cube shape to create the dent in the … Continue reading HD remaster – Coin →

My character is separate in design, so the rest shouldn't be too difficult to complete. Using the smooth and crease tools, i … Continue reading Final Animation – Week 2 →

Currently, my character is still in the design phase. however i do have some ideas about how i want the character to look based on how i will rig and model them later on.
