This blog was more of a focussed journal when I started the first version back in 2003. At the time my two main missions with the blog were to record my progress as I revamped my site, and for it to be a notebook of my adventures with learning how to create 3D graphics with […]
I submitted an image for last weeks Weekend Challenge over at Elysiun. I was thinking of putting it up on this blog when I realised that I have not recorded my previous two etries into the WC either. So here, for my own reference more than anything else, is a list of my last three […]

The materials and shader settings are now done, barring any unforseen tweaks and adjustments required as this project progresses. The hair has been made a little translucent, and specularity and translucency are set to vary between the fringes of the object and it’s central surfaces, using a gradient/blend texture to provide the template for the […]
With this hair, I thee complete … well, modelling at least. I’m pretty happy with the result. The hair is wild and wanton enough while maintaining the comic stylisation of the character. The very apparent surface polygons I have left in on purpose, because I think it adds a good deal of techiness to the […]
Hair today? Unfortunately not. I thought it would be much more useful to model the loin cloth first as it gives a better idea of the final look of the character’s body. Now it will be much easier to model the hair to the correct size and proportions to go with the rest of the […]
The feet are complete. I’ve tried to keep the mesh as light as possible, but some areas are bound to be heavier simply because there is more form to describe. The feet are on the dense side, but I have tried to compensate by keeping the toes as simple cuboid shapes. Since animated deformation of […]
