Did some rigging over the weekend, using basic advanced skeleton. Much better results than using regular T-pose. Also the new Maya 2011 skinning system is pretty interesting, tho i didn’t want to go too deep into it at this point. Still needs some more texture work, but you get the gist.

update: Did more texturing, and just learned zbrush so playing around with some normal mapping on the details

update: started applying some new shaders

finally made some progress on the other character, who is supposed to be somewhat like a ninja, I’ve decided to keep the armor to a minimal and instead just imply shes wearing some sort of suit. UVing this will probably drive me insane, at least there’s less parts than my usual

thought these were cool and interesting, may look cool
