During the opening trailer, I am guessing the crying zombie is a witch?
However, it gave me the idea for a survivor that really is a young girl locked in her bedroom ( safe room? ) crying for help.
Thought it would be interesting to make her a creepy goth/little sisterish type...
and easily mistaken for a zombie herself.

580 tris so far without the hand feet placeholders

oh man thats a nice idea. Would probably shit me pants if i ever pictured it right. guess thats your job eh? :d
She looks wonderful <3

this sounds awesome, claydough. Nailing the mood down will kick ass.

anyway nice shapes so far, man

more progress.. also blocking in some color ideas to help conceptualize...

890 tris, ( how I translate the rough in roughly )

Lovely shape!

Take out a loop in the hat and claw back 16 polygons!

thanks Rick. done. Really don't know what I was thinking?
probably lack of sleep cause I found a lot of bad geometry too..
after cleaning geometry with export and
further refinement I went down to 800 tris!
Celebrated by adding back 20 with more hair for areas that were really bugging me.

edge loop gremlins be gone:



hoping to spend 28 on a hand cannon and call geometry done at 448

Here's where the environment is at, supposed to be a loft conversion, think I might be a bit off with some of the scale so please pointers appreciated! Not really started safehousing it up yet, plenty of ideas just getting the normal layout out.

looks great man

Nice man! Like the character and environment design, looking forward to seeing how you fortify it.

Gibson SG
fact: Gibson SG is the evilest of guitars cuz it has 2 horns.

can u fit 3 humbuckers in texture?

Maybee I can pose her power chording some zombie brain explosion frequencies ala' Mars Attacks?

I wonder if environment as weapon cheat iz allowed?

Scale is looking great! ( skateboard and guitar size sells the bed as being sized for a kid )

Candles should provide an interesting/eerie directional practical light/shadow source

Bit of progress!

awesome !

wow... good luck...

nice progress, keep it up

great job islipaway
hope it looks nasty when your done

some deforrmation tests

down to 809 tris

Damn, thats neat. Environment should look amazing with the candles lit too.

Dammit, I had it my mind that the date was the 15th! AGHHHHHH!

Might as well give myself an extension and continue as a personal project.

islipaway? U still tweaking?

Just started a new job and been really busy getting Christmas stuff sorted. do wanna get this finished but obviously it's well past deadline! Sorry dude!

To bad I thought the room was perfect.

texture direction
still tweakin...

great forms on the girl, claydough. And really nice deformations on her. The room was looking solid too, islipaway.

This is definitely a fun one, so I hope you guys finish it off

Those are some pretty sweet animations you got there!

the only thing that's bugging me is the doors covering the windows, they seem incredibly small compared to the desk, skateboard, guitar, and the child-sized bed.

is this late?

the lace frills were a quick hackjob.

had a lot of z fighting with the alphas.. ended up using a
different alpha method ( sorting ) for the lace than the alpha blended lower skirt.
( this required another material for the lower skirt. however
both materials use the same texture. )

809 tris

started a new personal project so I am calling this done.
I may tighten up some lace painting latter if I have some time.
