"Captains Log 6/3/03"
Well this week I started off by creating the base textures of the Mother alien. Once that was completed I was about to start the caging process in Maya to get better normal maps but we had a class meeting and one of the issues brought up was the fact that everyone in the class seemed to want to have the grunt alien redesigned. So this week I also went about creating a new design for the grunt which involved the concepting phase and then I also had to rush through and get a new placeholder completed for the grunt as well.
So enough chit chat and lets bring on the images of this weeks art from my side of the world.
First up is the base colors for the Mother. Just to reinforce the fact, these are the base colors painted in ZBrush. What I then do is use these base colors and then paint all the detail into them in photoshop.
This is the new look for the Grunt Alien. It was designed to fit into the theme of the aliens more as well as allowing for customized weapon arms. Similar body parts can be seen such as the Reaper style legs, the exploder style head and the Mother style weapon arm. The image after than is of the Grunt ortho drawings for modelling purposes.
As usual the placeholder has be colored in Bright pink for awesomeness XP. The image after that shows a wireframe for the place holder model since ive heard many people are actually reading these blogs I thought id just put that up for a little extra eye candy.
Next week is setting up for the kind of hand in so it will be a mass exporting week. Ill also perhaps get to start on caging the Mother. So until then... Farewell
-Michael
