Week 13

For the final project, I added the outer robe for my character and also did some detailing on the cloth.

However, the robes were jaggy so I had to redo them. Instead of only redoing the outer robes, I decided to entirely redo the whole attire. Below is the result.

Next, is to polypaint them. I paint them according to the color palette I had for my character. I also posed it and below is the result.

figure 1.3 Poly Painted

I had to omit the attire between the outer robes, because something went wrong with it, due to some reason whenever I moved that piece of clothing, it stretches and the cloth became distorted. I also changed my pose into a much more simple one because my Zbrush keeps crashing whenever I try to rig them. The pose looks awkward because I ran out of time thinking about a suitable pose.

Here is the original pose my character is supposed to have.

Next, I created my character's weapon. Below is the process.

The next thing to do is to polypaint the sword and below is the result of it colored and rendered.

However, I couldn't put the sword so that my character can hold on to it because of unknown reasons, whenever I moved the sword it distorted, this also happened to the piece of clothing I mentioned before.

Lastly, after the rendering has been converted to Photoshop, I exported the file into png and send it to Procreate as I am more comfortable with that program. Here, I added in the details.

Below is the rendered version of the sword in multiple views.

REFLECTION

the process has been tough for me, I really am not good when it comes to sculpting. there were a lot of errors and trials. I am really not that satisfied with the result, I ran out of time and my program keeps crashing, which makes me feel like reaching the dead end. I had to do the pose for my character manually and it looks very awkward. Although, I really like the process of creating the sword, compared to when creating the character I feel more pressure. However, I could finally reach the end, and I hope to be better in the future. There's a lot of practice to be done.
