I am doing some exploration of Disney Characters this week. Just something for the old portfolio in case I get some toy makers on the line.... asking for some printable characters and -ish. Oops Jasmine, I didn't mean to spy on you while you were being sculpted (LOL!).

Added the helmet. After adding the zipper and the tread to the boots, I should be ready to head into low poly work sessions.

Emmanuel C. Flint @ September 10, 2014 3:09 pm

Finished up the head sculpting along with some other portions. Next up is the zipper construction, along with the addition of a treated (damaged and aged) set of goggles and the helmet.

Currently working on detailing the face in a manner which will make the necro-flesh more evocative. This looks like it's on the right track. I should be able to wrap it up on this portion of the character tomorrow and move onto the hands tomorrow - to make them look more decayed.

Emmanuel C. Flint @ September 8, 2014 7:13 pm

After assembling all the pieces back together I got rid of the majority of the character's body and kept the essentials, since the suit covers almost everything. Now, I'm really diggin' into getting that necroflesh feel on the zombie's heads and soon the hands.

Taking the weekend to deliberate about it while doing some cooly-hi-harmony. Later...

Emmanuel C. Flint @ September 5, 2014 5:33pm

Created the boots, the laces and other details. Also placed pants pockets with a leg sash for accessories. Tomorrow I refine it all and start on the belt buckle area. Perhaps some work on the zombie's face to make him look more DEAD! LOL

While working the last of the zombies series for Ominous Entertainment (formerly EXM Games) I strive to sculpt some kick bu$$ SWAT gear. The image above is a SWAT vest that I was sculpting today. Soon, I'll have all the gear sculpted and ready for low poly baking. More updates will follow.

Emmanuel C. Flint @ September 1, 2014 6:54PM

Remember that beast of a tank that I posted in the 3D Modeling Section a while back? Well now its in low poly and still lookin' awesome. This shot features how the low poly model looks with Normal Mapping and Ambient Occlusion. Diffuse, Specular and Emissive are next, before I port this metallic beast to UDK! Each texture is 2k, by the way (A 2k occlusion map and a 2k normal map for everything - treads included).

Emmanuel C. Flint @ July, 29 2014 7:30 pm

Almost done with this one and soon I can start modifying it to meet the specifications of other zombies that are needed for the feature that I am working on with Ominous Entertainment (an indie game team).

Emmanuel C. Flint @ July, 15 2014 6:30pm

Here is an assembled collage of the current progress. I am pretty much wrapping up all the detailing and am ready to give all the geometry a once over for integrity. After that It's time to wrap it up and use decimation master for making a combined mesh that I can use for creating a low poly asset in Maya.

Emmanuel C. Flint @ 10:23 pm July, 11 2014

Yeah, yeah happy 4th of July and in the spirit of Independence let me work on my freedom fighting kick arse tank, why don't I ?! Yup that's right - today I was adding some paneling and refining a lot of the kinks on some of the surfaces of this beast. Gonna add more awesomeness of course. See ya, I'm off to see some pyrotechnics.

Emmanuel C. Flint - July, 4 2014 - 5:17 p.m.

Today I built the underbelly details to support the visual impact of the tread system, for a more realistic look. Next seesion I will address the sections of the tread pit that are overlapping (as I've marked in the image.) After that I can start with finalizing various details like adding rivets, scribe lines, etc.

Kind regards,

This is the previous games asset I displayed in the Zbrush environment. Here you see it fully textured in Maya openGL (simple viewport with hardware shading). Next it's off to UDK. In the material editor for UDK. I will be making the emissive portions of the missile parts glow in and out. Cool huh? When I have a chance I will be rendering these with the other icons I am working on for EXM Games.

Added a closeup shot

Emmanuel C. Flint - June, 18 2014 - 10:15pm

This is a classic build of an in-game character in opposed to the upgraded build that I have here >>> CLICK TO SEE<<<. It looks like a really good option to have both types in the game. I created both in Zbrush and then did the low-poly work in Autodesk Maya.

Emmanuel C. Flint @ June 6, 2014 - 2:30 P.M

Update for May 27, 2014.

This update is for the tank tread - I constructed the prototype piece and Maya and did an animation snapshot in order to get the circuit. I still have some minor teaks to do but when it's done I will combine the treads with the tank below. Emmanuel C. Flint @ May 27, 2014 -3:53 P.M

Update for May 21, 2014.

Yeah come get some! That's what I like to see in a CG model -> More and more detail! This is the most recent addition to the V-tank. I added the tire pit, the shock mechanisms and then the wheels themselves. In a while I will create the tire tread after making some structural changes to the tire-pit along with the under-belly of this mechanical beast.
Emmanuel C. Flint @ May 21, 2014 -1:19 P.M.

Update for May 20, 2014.

Starting to work on the lower sections. Soon, I'll be working on the treads in Maya with an instance along a path for duplication. I will also be adding the shock mechanisms in the wheel pit too. Pretty soon all the major forms will be completed and then I can start on the first detail pass for paneling. That's going to be FUN!!!! When it comes to the "insane attention to detail" requirement on a 3D Modeling job - dude - I'm there!!!
Emmanuel C. Flint @ May 20, 2014 -1:02 P.M.

Update for May 15, 2014.

In the last couple of days I added some side panels and the rear vents. There are a few cuts in the main body that I added as well.

Emmanuel C. Flint @ May 6, 2014 - 6:03 P.M.

Update for May 5, 2014. Looking Good!

Emmanuel C. Flint @ May 5, 2014 - 2:57 P.M.

Another update for the tank. It's beginning to look at lot like wartime!!! I have more work to do on it though. But it looks nice right?

Emmanuel C. Flint @ May 2, 2014 - 6:31 P.M.

After about 20 hours into this project I am doing some nice sculpting in zbrush using the very simple base geometry I created in 3dsmax. Most of the work was done using booleans and Dynamesh tactics. There is a long list of subtools in the mix but I can handle it. More updates coming soon! ;)

Emmanuel C. Flint @ April 30, 2014 - 2:05 P.M.

The V-Tank from Network (Virtus Studios)! This is a current project that I am working on. The previous two characters from January have been halted for now. I will continue with them later though. I am taking some time to model the concept in 3DSMAX for starters in order to rough out what will eventually be subtools in Zbrush. Yes, I'm going to do the high poly work for this tank in Zbrush 4r6! That way I don't have to worry too much about edge looping and beveling in a standard 3D app. Once the basic meshes are done I will export them all as .OBJ extensions and then Dynamesh them in Zbrush. This will allow me to work with them more intuitively in Zbrush to get nice hard edges, cuts and bevels. There will be a combination of techniques but mostly with, trims, slices, finely tuned masking that is worked over with hard surface brushes, etc. I'll post more results soon.

Emmanuel C. Flint @ April 17, 2014 - 1:36 P.M.

These are weapons asset indicators in their high poly form(s) for the FPS game titled Slaughter Maze. I decided to create Zbrush hi-poly sculpts for all of them and what you see here are two types. The one on top is a x-form ammunition icon and the one on the bottom is a keycard. More to come soon. Later, for now. ;)

January 27, 2014 - Work in Progress - 8:31 pm

Ok it seems that my portfolio could do good with a few devaiations from the realism that permeates it in regards to 3D modeling, texturing and or digital paiting. I'm going to try making some liitle cute characters or perhaps the type of characters you would find in an animate like Dragon Ball Z or something that is drawn in the SD style (Super Deformed).

Kind regards,

Emmanuel C. Flint
