Zergling WIP

[Freespace]

Hey there everybody!

It's really cool to have a gathering ground for Mudbox users. So I'll celebrate the public opening of the forum by posting my current work in progress at the office, a Zergling for a cinematic we're going to make.

It's nearly finished, there are a few final touches it will get, and a scene.

Let me know what you think about it. :)

Looking good Freespace. When is the film coming out?
I think the tail needs a bit more curvature no look natural. But that can be done by rigging but still.

I love the look of the spec on the deltoid.... I'm very partial to that look. Its a very intersting creature without doubt.

Hulahuga: Hey Oskar! The first cinematic should come out in about 2 months' time. There's going to be a series of them done for the first fan-campaign for Starcraft 2. I agree on the tail looking stiff like this, but I'm counting on the rigging ( which is going to be done by one of my fellow artists here at Tractormedia ) to make it all come alive and look natural ( as natural as a zergling can be, :P ).

Wayne: Glad you like it! I extracted a specular map from the diffuse map ( paint from within Mudbox, thank God for that feature! ), and then worked on it in Photoshop to control the areas with more or less reflection value.

Hia Chris!

Are you already building a Starcraft 2 campaign? :o Nice!
But the map editor isn't out yet? Or is it?
Well either way, if you need a story writer (or assistant) count me in. ;D

Hey Oskar,

The Editor's gonna be out once the game is out ( hopefully this year ). I'm not doing this particular fan-campaign, it's called Legacy of the Confederation ( it was quite successful for SC1 - now they're doing it for SC2 ), and the cinematics are worked on now so that once SC2 does come out, all the work left is to build the actual levels. There already is a cinematic for it completed, but we didn't do that one. :)

[Hulahuga]

Allright.
ooh about the confederation, nice subject!
How long have you guys come on this cinematic?
How many films will it be totally?

Whoa snap ! This is sweet!!! Is that subsurface scattering on the spikes!?
