The legacy of Wonderboy

I totally realize that this title has nothing to do with anything at all. however, despite all this, Ive been working on this for the past 2 and a half days, and I have to finish it by sunday so I'm losing the few straggling bits of sanity that I posess on a good day, and I therefore decided that I can call this whatever I want. I'm also listening to Tenacious D which of course has absolutely nothing at all to do with anything, of course.

Anyways- this is a mother's day present. in the works. Just felt like posting osmething / procrastinating. later folks!

I would also like to make a formal announcement: Vestibule. That was it.

Problems in Game Engine

Hmmm - I got really close, but I'm now having troubles with the model. For some reason when I bring it into the game engine, there are some holes appearing. All of the Normals are pointing in the right direction, and I'm not sure what it could possibly be. Here are some screens demonstrating the problem while the mesh is loaded into the conversion tool to bring the model into POTC.

Please help me- anyone. any suggestions?

If you're not half as excited as me about this - you're not coming to my birthday party - so there.

*Phew!

I absolutely love doing this model - but after starting 6 hours ago listening to the same 30 min Ramones CD that I have on repeat - I think that if I hear another Ramones song - I just might... I don't know turn it off... I'm also super hungry because I have only eaten an apple in this time. SO that means I'm going to go eat. Make some kind of big meal - I feel like I deserve to take the time even though this model is not homework, and from that point of view - a waste of time. My goal is to finish this by the end of the night so that tommorow morning Mike - our 3D teacher - can help me rig it so that I can import it into POTC. Man - once I get to texture this thing it's going to be the most rewarding thing EVER! I just might have to import him into every game I own. I mean - can't you imagine Grand Theft Auto 4 with Davy Jones? I'm feelin' it...

There's always a post and a warm cup of coffee on thursday. mmmm

Right now I'm taking blatant advantage of human nature. The reason I am posting this abundance of life drawings is not because all of them are fantastic - some of them are pretty good - yes, and I've started to comprehend how to use line weight properly. but really. really, really this post is more to cover up the pictures that I uploaded a few days ago while caught in the excitement of the movie. So if you defy your human instinct to scroll down the page, or to read all of the words written here - consider yourself a deviation. But I guess I'm just bitter 'cause you can make fun of me now.

Animation time!

Arrrr there be a Davy Jones in the House?

HOLY CRAP!

I love 3D modelling. I can't wait to make games. I can't wait to make games. I can't wait to make games. How am I ever going to ever get any kind of homework done now that I have this incredibly awesome tool at my disposal. this is the head of Davy Jones for my POTC mod. Body yet to come - this better freakin' work! I can't freakin' wait. I love life! Make video games love life!

Spare time you say? What is this?

Well - I have decided to undertake a project to import Davvy Jones into a pirate game. So.. naturally I've been doing a bunch of art to try and figure out how his head ... is... and I figured I might as awell post it. As I type, I'm still working on a side view, and a front view for it, but I figured that I might as well take a break for a good sketch dump since I neglect this site far too much. So here you go - sploosh!
