A Cast of Characters

The characters are finally finished. The rigging has certainly been a challenge. Also finished are my two contest winners. Tjebbe and Rene with their skeleton look-a-likes and their bikes. I'm really happy with the way the came out and hope you guys are too! (Check the posts below for their real live versions) For the final animation the textures will be adjusted slightly for the best results. These are just some quick renders so you guys can see what I've been up to.


(Tjebbe your crazy frank version was probably the hardest bike to make!)


Rene and his sweet slabside!




And these are the regular characters.

Ok, except this guy, he was added in last minute. (He really twisted my arm for it)

The Bikers!

The 3 main bikers are now complete! I just need to finish up the 2 contest winners and I will basically have all my characters.

Patches Created For The Bikers

Still Workin!

The 3 main characters are finished. It was a lot of work, I can't believe I have another 4 to make yet. Hopefully things will go a little faster since most of the kinks are worked out now. Back to work, I'm already behind schedule!

More Character Modeling

I got a good portion of my characters modeled this week. I have a few more extras to make out of Jack and Avra and I should set. Next I'm planning some scenery modeling and start rigging the characters.



Skeleton bikers with facial hair? Strange? Yeah, it works though!

Some modeling on Jack

Jack is just about completed. Needs a few more adjustments and the rest of his details will be brought out with my own UV texture maps.

Character Work Finally Under Way

I finished my skeleton mesh tonight and I'm very pleased with the results. I only needed to model the upper portion because the rest will be covered by clothes. Avra is the only character utilizing all of this mesh. The bikers and Jack will only need the head, spine, and hands.

Very pleased with the skull.

I also started the meshes of Jack, Avra and the Biker. I'll post those later when they're a little further along.

Texture Test

Okay, got a few updates coming...

This character is not for The Requiem Ride, but I used him as a test for my pencil shading texture. I want my characters to closely resemble the style of my storyboards and I think using this texture helps. Theres a few things that need tweaking but its not bad for the first test.

Some 3d work to come next...
