    Cartoon Minotaur

    (This section hasn't been touched in ages, so just to put it to use...)

    I haven't done much in the way of game development (Programming, or Graphics) in a while. So I made this little 3D cartoon minotaur (still pretty much WIP):





    Quick renders:
    http://members.optusnet.com.au/mnegent/Render_Two.avi [1.4mb]
    http://members.optusnet.com.au/mnegent/Render_Three.avi [1.4mb]

    I'm planning to do a short little animation with him (maybe 30secs or so).
    I just created him outta bordem, something to work on, so he's not ment for anything in particular, and I probably won't do anything with him.

    I mainly used Lightwave for everything, Super Cel Shader for the cartoon look, and SasLite for the fur. Total model and rigging time, approx 6 hours or so.

    So yeah, just what I've been up to lately, C&C welcome.

    Yeah, sorta kinda

    Here's a couple of scans:




    The first scan is the very first sketch I drew of him (very roughly on a scrap of old paper ), long before I even thought about trying to model him in 3D.

    The second pic is probably the 3rd or 4th pic I drew of him, looking pretty much finished. It was about here that I actually contemplated modeling him up .

    He did get modified slightly from the transition to 3D, most notibly his ears, a lot smaller and straighter. And with cel shading, he did lose a bit of detail around the chest area. I also decided to make him look fatter in the final version, with thicker legs and shorter overall; even though I had planed on him being skinning, just with a cow pot belly .

    Hey Kaz, nice job!

    Well you already know I'm a fan of your work. But this, I think is one of your best so far.

    Can't wait to see the mini-video...
