Vast Space Project Update

This has been a truly tumultuous time for me. I have been trying to move to another house and doing work to make the odds & ends meet. I am so sorry I haven't updated in a while. Hopefully, when the move is done and I am all settled in, I'll be able to continue full steam ahead on the Vast Space Project. Until then, I will be thinking about all the wonderful work I have yet to do on this project!

Rigging Hugo

Arrgghh!!! I have to repose Hugo into more of a t-pose for easier rigging! I'm going to try and use Maya's HumanIK system to rig him. Hopefully, that will make things easier.

Spartan-Flower Re-texturing

Here is the first part of the retexturing process. I decided to re-texture the Spartan-Flower in Maxon BodyPaint. I needed the ability to paint across models and use masks accurately. Hopefully, I can integrate this into the workflow effortlessly.

Yep, it she looks all new and shiny now, but wait till she gets a little banged up and scorched!

Extended Ladder

I'm still in the process of moving, but I started working on the "Vast Space" project again. I am going to attempt to repaint the textures for the Spartan-Flower in Bodypaint. Hopefully this will be easier than it looks.

Here is a render of the gantry ladder extended:

Survey Holo Table Textured

Here is the Surveying Holo Table with some textures added. Textures are preliminary (I haven't designed the final output yet.) I added a version with no lights at all to show the tables self-illumination.

 

Survey Holographic Table

Hugo needed a survey holographic table for mapping out areas on a planet's surface that also doubled as a regular meeting table or utility table when not in use for surveying.

Environmental Tests

Playing with Vue Xstream (software for creating environments), trying to pin down the look for the moon that the Wutes live on.
