Set props: Fantisy/D&D stuff.

Gibbage

Just as a background, I have been a vehicle modeler for over 15 years. If it drives, fly's or floats, im sure I modeled it. The thing is, my job is getting outsourced to South Korea or Vietnam! So adapt or die...

Recently, I went into a mentorship at 3DTI to learn Maya and Zbrush to try and expand my portfolio. This is one of my first non-vehicle models I have done, and one of the first products out of that education, so please understand that. I am still looking for critique's, so let me have it!

These peaces are based off of the very popular Torchlight concept art located here http://img.neoseeker.com/v_concept_art.php?caid=13811. I plan to do a small set, with a table, chair, this candle, and a few more decor peace’s, but here is the first peace so far.






Hows things looking so far? So for there is about 2 days production time in this 1 peace. I know I need to get it done faster. Here is the brakedown.

3DS modeling base object = 2 hours
Zbrush sculpt = 2 hours
Low poly re-top and baking = 4 hours
Texture work = 8 hours

Would love to get some feedback on this peace! Thanks in advance!

Snader

Too many triangles in the candle and the wick, not enough in the skull. Those teeth are way, way blocky. The flame could be optimized more, too, but it's not too bad - then again it can be fixed really quickly because it's such an easy shape and you just need to cut 2 loops or so.

Adding to what snader said, The eyes looks alot blocky too, even more than the teeth imo.

Gibbage

Added a table for the skull to sit on. Overall, not much going on with the table. Will need more set dressing I think, like cobwebs and such. I will be adding chairs next.



Table is 2400 tri's, all on a single 1024x1024 with norm and spec. Also sculpted in Zbrush. The blocky eye sockets are stylized and are in the original concept art.
