Mantis - W.I.P.

I created the model close to a year ago, I think, with the intention of making a short and simple clip. The model was never completed to my satisfaction, and much less the rendering. So I left it at its incomplete state.

But I have finally decided to just finish it. I did not improve on the modeling nor the rendering. I did try to tweak the lights and all, but it was still unsatisfactory. So I used back the same old file and continued to do this short clip, using After Effects to touch up the look and feel of it.

It's about 1/2 done now, I think. And I hope to finish this up in soon.

Mage

Edited the color of the iris to be brownish. I do think it looks better.


This is the 2nd character of the 4.

Admittedly, I don't like this character as much as the Shifter. But I cannot pinpoint what is it that I don't like as much..... But, overall, I still like it!! HAHA

Shifter

This is the 3D model of the Shifter in its full glory. Now fully rigged, skinned, textured with morphers. Done by Paul :)

SHIFT

This is what and why me and Paul has been staying until 9+ almost every night for the past 2 weeks.

The 4 humans were modeled, rigged and skinned by Paul, the 2D paint over for the landscapes were done by him too. I modeled the 4 creatures, model the environment, did all the animations and UI designs. Of course, all these artwork would have been meaningless if not for our programmer, Chris.


A lot of work went in compared to about 9 days ago when we had to show the old build to some people. But of course, the work is far from over. We'll still be improving the graphics and programming.
