Well, it's the last week of the term and the character and process book is done. It's been a good learning experience and although I like the concept of the character, I'll probably start working on a different character soon instead of improving this one. I would have liked to upload a PDF of the process book for you guys to look at, but it seems this website doesn't allow for that. I'll have to figure out how to put it up on my website. I'm no web designer but I'll figure it out.
Well, thanks for reading my blogs (the few of you that actually did). Keep checking back because I'll be updating this blog with current projects I'm working on.
I'm Eric Swarts and this is a blog of all of the modeling projects I am doing, whether they are for college or just stuff on the side.

D&D Modeling Project - Week 9
Well, the term is coming to a close. Next week is the last week. Thankfully I'm ahead of schedule. My model is finished and I've created a turntable animation for him that I've included below. Next week I'll try to put up my process book for you guys to look at. Don't worry internet, this isn't goodbye. I'm still going to keep blogging and keep you informed as to new projects I'm working on. So keep checking back, everyone!

D&D Modeling Project - Week 8
The end is in sight! The character is fully rigged and I've begun to texture him. However, although he is fully rigged, I have not yet posed him. I'll save that for when he's done being textured. As of now, his body is almost fully textured. Just two weeks left and I think I'm in good shape. It's pretty exciting how it's all coming together. Keep checking back everyone!

D&D Modeling Project - Week 7
I think I mentioned earlier that I had never worked with ZBrush before. Most of this week consisted of me learning how to use it and experimenting with it and I've just started on the Zbrush model for my character. It should be done before the end of next week. I'd like to have started on the texture by that time as well, so I will keep you guys posted.

D&D Modeling Project - Week 6

Alright, my model is almost done. From here I have to start adding more detail and refining him. I have 3 days until the modeling portion is due. After that, I'm going to unwrap him, bring him into ZBrush and then texture him. So far I'm fairly pleased with how the project has been going. To be honest, I didn't think I would be good at modeling characters at all. Don't get me wrong, I'm no character modeler, but it certainly turned out better than I expected.
Well, next Saturday I should be posting again and by that time I should at least have the character unwrapped. If I'm lucky, I may have had time to get him into ZBrush and have some screen captures for you guys to look at. Stay tuned!
