Gas Station Random Project

Recently I have been working on a Gas Station. Didn't really plan to do this, but it's already pretty far on in development. Here are some screen shots:

The model is built in high-res with the aim of its surface data being baked down to a low-res game mesh for the final scene. With the gas pump and some items around it being finished, I have already started to construct the low res geometry, which the last image shows.

Also, just a random update on the helicopter model from my previous post; this model is still being made, and has progressed a bit from where it is shown there, but not by enough for me to bother posting any news on it yet I don't think. I also have an urge to make a kitchen scene for some nice interior design renders, but I probably shouldn't start a 3rd project on the side....

Soma Yakihira - Low Resolution Model

While I'm still finishing Lord Beritra, I have decided to start what I want to be another fast project. This time, I will create a low resolution model of 'Soma Yakihira' from the popular anime and manga, 'Food-Wars'. 

This project has a few goals that I wish to address:

• Low poly

• No normal maps or specular maps, all just hand-painted colour on a single texture

• Easily animatable (such low-res that it skins easily and moves well)

• Possibly paint directly to texture map in ZBrush, instead of Polypainting?

This is the progress so far. The hands are not yet sewn onto the arms and the shoes have not yet been fully modelled. The arms also need some work while I try to get them in the right position. His face has no detail; all the facial features will be drawn on in the texture, with the idea that it could be animated using a sequence of 2D frames. Also of course parts of his model are not made at all here either, which is the next step of progress.
