looks like u guys is having fun here.

Yeah lah.

still there.... aiii....
getting old... can't go anywhere else....
cough cough....

oh...

sorry lah. that time too bz for crunch time.
sorry for not getting to know u guys before.

paiseh.

hope u learned stuff that u are looking for.

how are u doing?

oh...
good luck on that mate.

Here's my 2 cent.


the typology is too messy at the moment. It should be evenly spaced. it seems to be too densed at certain area like hands. And some division seems to be keeping too close together and next to it is a big gap between divisions. This can easily resulted in to unwanted crease here and there. and u'll also have problem later on for texturing and rigging.
Proportion wise needs a little more work.
Overall it seems like u are putting details at the wrong place. if I were u, i'd scrap this and start over from blocking stage.
get the proportion right in the blocking stage with as little divisions as possible. Then only starts adding details along the way. u'll have better planning for your divisions by working this way.


I've attached a work in progress that I'm working on to show u what I'm talking about.
sorry if I sounds a little harsh.

I'm working in codemasters.
Started the base mesh in 3dsmax (doesn't matter which anyway, I'm always a maya user) and scultped in zbrush.
there's a lot of highly capable 3d artist in malaysia. Don't sounds like Malaysia is a back water country.

Thanks mate. well... there's really alot of "sifu" around in KL. but due to the nature of business in 3d industry, a lot of us are not allowed to post our work online unless being ordered to. Most of the time, artist like us are too bz to tackle the projects in hand. Hence, there's less chances for personal work.
we used to have more time for personal work when we are working as freelancer or students.
Met cymon yesterday for lunch. He did robot concept designs for Transformer 2 and thundercats. He shown me his work, it's really impressive.



Yeah, that's the one. I had a chance to work on that game. Still proud of the outcome.

I didn't have chance to work on characters in that game (characters weren't under the spot light anyway). But I had more chance to work on the characters in the up coming OFP2.

Thanks the met up. Appreciate the time and willingness of sharing ur knowledge in our conversation. Too bad that I was out of time and unable to show u anything.
Anyway, glad that u saw this.
My main toolset for now is mainly Zbrush and 3dsmax (due to requirement in game industry). I usually do animations and special fx in Maya and XSI. I also use motion builder for animation purpose. It's all depends on the job requirement.

allow me to shamelessly post a few more works.


another work for fun, sculpted in zbrush


Rendered in 3dsmax. WIP.... going to complete it when I got time later.


This is an artwork I did a while ago. Did the concept design on my own. Modeled in 3dsmax, Modo and zbrush.

U can find my older works in my website.

Oh.... I thought zbrush is well known for most of the 3d artist.
Sorry for being ignorant in not including a link in advance.

U can call it a 2.5d vertex pushing software to aid our detailing jobs for 3d models.

enjoy.

going to sleep soon.

rarely have freetime like tonight.

wanted to work on something but don't feel like have enough time. that's why just lepak here lah.

It's in my signature.

Originally I just use my macbook pro.
I've bought my new i7 system on xmas. feels better with my workstation now.

hey dude,
I think u can try to lit the scene with dimmed light source from environment first.
try to use cool colors for the environment ambient.
Then, start to illuminate your scene from inside of the interior. after that, place an area light for the street light.
for the fog, I think it can be casted from effects panel in 3dsmax.

HDR is useful for the relection for the scene but make sure that the intensity from HDR is low enough to fit the mood u are going for.


if u need any more help just feel free to drop me a msg.

when are u guys ever going to finish the animation?
i've been waiting for it.

u sounds a little emotional in your blog.
are u facing any problems in the production?
pm me if u need help. i think u guys need some serious help to get the stuff rendered.
