week 9 123AUTOCATCH

so while investigating photogrammetry we were encouraged to try and create 3d models using the autocatch software, the issue is that it does not work well with shiny surfaces

a very useful tool for quick model creation based on actual texture/reference which is also given to you in a nice little texture sheet like this - not the greatest but if more photos are taken the quality of the texture sheet can be improved

. the problem unfortunately is that it isnt very optimised, which means tri/poly counts sky rocket wile using this service

this can be optimised a little better using the ZBrush's decimator master, easily reducing the polycount by around 90% with only a little loss of quality of the mesh.

week 1 portfolio inspirations Krogan and Tuschanka

one of my portfolio pieces were originally going to be of a ship, out on the water being buffeted by the waves however since these have changed my inspirational images have changed as well

these are the reference images for the character model

these are two images of tuschanka itself.

Accelerated technological growth meant that the krogan quickly weaponised and began rebelling against the other members of the galactic community, much technology is left behind which is unusable.
