Fishboy Model updates

Still working on this in whatever free time we can get...

Nadia's initial basemesh, based on our initial concepts and proportions :

Once that was agreed upon, I started roughing out the basic forms...

..and once that was given a greenlight, more details were added in. Still missing all the tertiary details [skinfolds, wrinkles, scales, webbing, etc.] and the resolution is still too low to hold up to close-up shots, so there's still more work to be done. This render was provided to Nadia & Azman to start doing concepts for the clothing and equipment that he carries around.

More to come, hopefully sooner than later. Looking forward to the texturing and shading phase.

Something to look forward to next year!

123D Catch! - Free App from Autodesk

Maybe you're more familiar with it's old name when it wasn't released yet : Project Photofly. Anyways... now it's out... and it's FREE!

123D Catch is an image-based modeler... basically snap your subject matter from different angles, and it is re-created in 3D. Works well with people, environments, objects, and your pets.

Below is the official promo video, followed by some older Photofly videos to show how it works.







Just imagine the possibilities for this... visual archiving of objects from any angle, reconstruction of scenes for matchmoving, accurate reconstruction of historical venues... woah.

Wacom Inkling

This has been out for a few months already... but it's still freaking brilliant. Below is the promo video, followed by an actual demonstration of the thing at work.





 A lifesaver for those who hate constantly scanning their doodles? :P
