Did I say that I hate the Russian education system?
A few days ago I learned that my animation is not an important thing -.-, much more important to write a note on 60 pages. And another awful thing that the committee doesn't understand anything in the animations and films. They are economists, lol. This is all because of my institute was attached to the Higher School of Economics and now we are surrounded by economists.

Anyway, my work continues.
This weekend I spent in searching for a rig and i chose the "FREE RIG&SETUP AUTO v2.2". i didn't test it much but looks like it something that works really good.

I think textures are done. Sometimes I forget that the boy is bald, haha. I hope I will do his hair soon.


I started to work on the monster. Here a rough zbrush model. I still have much work on it.

I decided to make textures in a painting style. Boots and eyes are not finished I just added some base colors. That is why it looks so rough.

back to texturing.

Watched “The croods”! =D Oh this is so emotional film! So epic!So many cute animals! Dreamworks amazed me again. I don’t remember how looks this cat, so I peeked from Chris Sanders’ drawings ^^




And a bit about my project. Сurrent stage pretty boring and slow but UVs finaly done!

I played with this method of the whole week and I'm not sure that this is what I need, it is pretty slows down my computer =(. So the textures is still in progress.

Here super quick sketch just how I imagine the environment haha =)

back to work ;)

So, after three weeks of hard work, I got this. It is doesn't look like the previous concept, but I think it works better.
Clothing so difficult for modeling! I just remodeled it a million times, thank God I have topogan, it makes the retopology easier.


I'm going to simplify the whole work, because I totally don't have time and I want to try 2d render like this

Also, I think the monster will look different, sadly I do not have time for all those leaves =(.

Quick update!
zbrush+topogun+maya.
not a good mesh over the lip, but it's enough, maybe I'll fix it later.

Also, the clothes will be done soon!

Hey! I'm caught a cold so I have time to make a post ;).
I'm working on a very short 3d animated film and I have only 4 months before deadline -.-
I decided to post here the progress at least once a week. I think this is a good motivation for me and nice practice in self-discipline.
Here, a small part of a very rough storyboard. It's a simple story about boy and monster. i think i am bad story writer, heh.

Concepts of boy:

Here concept of monster. I want a creature without hair because hair hard for render and dynamics. I think it will look something like this, though not sure about colors ^^.
