It's been an extremely busy Holiday break for me.I've gotten a lot of things done but I'm not quite at the place where I can show all of it yet. I have gotten 2 projects just about finished up and ready for my portfolio out of the original seven that I hoped to get through.
I'm just about done with 3 more, although I've put down my robot with all the gears and I won't be touching it until I'm done with the other two. I spent far too much time on it this week trying to get the materials working right and the lighting/rendering done. I haven't been too successful and I have decided to just walk away for now before I get too frustrated with it. Hopefully I can pick it back up refreshed and ready to try again in a little bit.
I'm hoping to finish up King today, even though there is so much more I want to do with him. My problem is that I am such a perfectionist that I have a hard time ever calling something "done." It's a blessing and a curse. But I have decided that for now I need to put my nit-picking tendencies aside and call it. I finished up his textures yesterday by fixing up his pants and adding dirt and stains to his shoes, scarf, and hat. Ideally I'd like to add more to his jacket and some dirt to his pants, but I think that if I kept trying for my ideal vision of him I'd never put the project down.
My hope for today is to get his renders redone with the new textures and a turn table going. I have a second computer set up to handle my renders so I can hopefully finish up the textures for my piano, but I may have to do some of my class assignments for school today instead. Either way I'll be continuing to get stuff done.
