I created an outline for him in Mental Ray. I guess it adds more depth to the shape and creats a better contrast with the environment (background). But… I am not really sure about this style.

Giuseppe 3d paint over
Friday, August 27th, 2010I did quickly paint over my 3d rendering. The only 3d shaded things are the shoes and the trousers. The rest is added in Photoshop. I did this to develop the look for the 3d shading. I will try to reproduce this with Mental Ray.

Mafia WIP
Monday, August 2nd, 2010I’ve began the modelling of the main character but it is still in progress. I also started a shader test for the 2d look. In the first place I used a simple Lambert. But the image below is a Maya Toonshader. I kinda like the result. Especially in the darker shadowed areas. But I don’t really like the handling and the usability. Maybe I’ll use the Lambert again.

Mafia envi design – Houses
Monday, July 5th, 2010I sketched some houses for the italian village. I guess they do not match with the character colors. I guess I’ll go a stepp backward and work on the character colors again..
eRig Animation
Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010
eRig is the teaching rig for the University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Hannover.
Its development (character design, modelling, rigging…) was part of Marian Sandars Bachelor Exam.
In this early stage it has some lack of features. But the design of the rigging interface is very beginners friendly and I tried to demonstrate the usability with this simple walk.
Mafia character comp
Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010This is an early chracter comp. I did these to get a visual feeling how this two characters do work together. This isn’t a final result. I still see here alot of development to do…
Mafia second character design
Monday, June 21st, 2010The second character is called Gionfranco il Cativo. He is the cook in the restaurant and will be murdered by Giuseppe Grosso.
He has a very strong character and a big ego. Gionfranco loves to eat and hates everyone who isn’t digging his meals.
As always I did 20 drawings to shuffle them around.
