well, I finally had my first title published. bloodrayne 2. I worked as a character artist for terminal reality for 10 months, it was my second full time industry job.

Severin, the main male character. I took him from concept to final rig



Shadow Legion, hardcore ninja baddies. Design by Jesse Sossa, model and texture by me.




Lots of other updates from the game and from personal projects on my site

lemme know whatcha think.

I think they kinda suck, man.

Good work Poop!

I like the hair on the ninja guy - looking forward to the game.

Man that model is kickass. Would it be at all possible to see the flats for his face? It's my favourite part about the whole model.

The ninja guy is rockin' too. Kudo's to you and Jesse on a fine job :P

Congratulations on your first published title! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Cool that you put a Mathis sign in BR2 [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Character models look really good! How much time did you spend on for instance the Shadow Legion model and skin? Just wondering how much time you (can) use when making a model and skin on the job.

Nice one mate. So the game's gone gold then?

Cool. Get the other TRI guys (there were, like, 3 dozen on the old boards) to pimp their stuff too.

Can I ask you why you made separate geometry for the eyes on that ninja? by the looks of it, it could've been pulled off easily with just the texture...

I was checking out the BR2 forums the TRI guys post @ and noticed you guys put in a lot of easter eggs - thats awesome. Was starting to think that type of stuff is goin' out of style. Again, awesome job.

Sweetnessssss. Yeah. I didn't know that BR2 chars would have such a cartoonish style. Severin's face looks like his best feature. The Shadow Legion goon looks creepy-cool, but what's up with his skin texture? It looks almost procedural, not completely wrapped onto his geometry. Speaking of that, what's up with his right-hand strap? It's wrapping around his clavicle, or looks like it. I'm sure that's something you just had to deal with, but I'm interested in what you have to say about it. Cool hair and claws on him, though.

Kick ass stuff dude, I need to get that game some time, though I am waiting for the PC release, you wouldn't know when that may be, do you?

poopinmymouth, hey man nice work, is that game any good I am thinking about buying it. I never played the first one but was always interested.

Gorgeous Poopster! Mebbe his hands are a little small? Ack I dunno mebbe not. The coat could have used a little more shading perhaps? Maybe my monitor isnt doing it any justice.

Is the game worth picking up then?!

pretty nice work poopinmymouth. Its looking lovely.

thanks to all the kind words guys

Ikraan, most textures took about 3 days. Thats for color map, specular and normal map.
Skull splitter, I probably could have put them on the mask texture, but this way I was able to reuse a larger chunk of texture all 8 times, and they do catch a bit of light along the rims.

Jzero, they really were not supposed to be such a cartoony style. Thats my fault, and I am working on improving my texturing skills. They were all supposed to be as photorealistic as possible. His skin is hand painted, and I tried to make it corolate to regular muscle features, the strap is stretching because of his extreme pose. poor rigging i guess

pc release is Q1 2005 for br1 they released it at the same time, and it contributed to heavy piracy in the countries that didnt have the xbox or ps2 versions out yet, so now they are waiting till all countries have their console versions. Or at least thats what I heard/assumed.

Daz, I always made the hands bigger, then monster would make me make them smaller. *shakes fist at monster* The coat is totally flat shaded, but has a normal map made in zbrush. I should probably add a third panel for severin showing off his normal/specular maps. As for the game, I havent played it yet in its final incarnation. It seems to be getting mostly good reviews though.

Pretty wild, Poop. I had no idea that stuff like that would make it into the final game. With all the hard crits around here, it's got my quality sense all jacked up! I'll certainly keep that in mind as I start my art test...

Looking good, Poopy- I realy like the first guy's face. I should probably have this game..

Whaddap, turd. I personally love the first pimps face, it has a pinterly feel that seems like it would go great in the BR universe. His coat and pants on the other hand are lacking in definition. I know the game is a dark one, but I don't think I would be able to see him against any dark backdrop in the game. The second model is also impressive although I do agree with some previous comments about how the body texture is a little flat. I'm sure it pops out a bit more once the normal map is plugged in anywho. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Nice work! Now get me a job!
