HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!

Hope you guys have passed a good XMAS day! Don't forget to love people who loves you. Not only today, but every day of your life. <3

Oh, you wanna know what I'm doing in this period? so sweet! :3

It's a period of big changes for me, I've a lot of new projects and commissions to work on.
I Win the TROFEO GROG @Lucca comics and games for the best digital prototype and this event has given to me a lot of visibility into toy design business.
I'm very excited and also scared at the idea of fail, but I still go on! Fail is better than avoid new challenge in my opinion, am I right? Of course I am!

Me with GROG trophy!

Thanks everyone for the support, continue following me on Instagram! And don't stop to send me email, always happy to chat with mind liked people!!

Again,
MERRY CHRISTMAS GUYS!

FREE Human skin alpha

I've found this Free pack of human skin alpha by Celito Moura Filho. Super nicely done and released for free, you can download it here 

Almost ready

I'm very excited! This is my very first character concept for a miniature. Now it's time to refine the edges for a better 3d printing! Wish me good luck!

Posing

I'm very bad in posing...
so I've downloaded Mery rig from Meryproject.com (you can download she for free) to figure out some compositions, I had a ton of fun, maybe too much....will my next step be...animation?!?

Mery leg pose

This was my first attempt in animation...4 months after I start a Maya course...I was pretty happy :) dated February 2017

Displacement map TUTORIAL! Thanks Akin Bilgic!

I always have problems when I generate displacement maps...so I usually use GoZ to bypass this problem, but with Maya2017 you can't use this life-saver plugin...so I have the necessity to understand   the full process behind the generation.

Google brought me here to the amazing website of Akin Bilgic (...the name is so similar to Anakin <3) that have a tutorial section where he explains perfectly how to create and use a displacement map in Arnold for Maya, Vray in 3dmax, Cinema4D and Maya. Don't miss it!

FREE SKIN ALPHA

Anatomy study, best routine?

Hey guys!
Actually I'm studying female anatomy, it's very difficult to create something acceptable that makes you say "ok, good job" that's the main reason why I'm not very active on the blog, but I often use Instagram stories to describe this frustrating days.

I'm trying to draw every day to bear in mind the muscles position...10 min every day of anatomy image study + 10 min of gesture drawing...I feel like I'm understanding a ton of me and how I work!

What's your routine to improve your skill set guys? :3 let's share!

Female Android

I've used my female body study as start mesh for this quick concept I've realized.

Hey! Jackpot!!! 777!!!
Thanks everyone!

Let's stay in touch on my INSTAGRAM profile or just pass by to talk with me about Maya and how cool is this crazy 3d world! Always happy to find enthusiasts!

Darkwing duck - cheap 90's plastic toy look - close up rendering

My next goal is create a little video of presentation of this never existed cheap toy...maybe will be part of my first reel...hopefully!

Darkwing Duck - final shot

So, here we are. Got some hours to spend with my lovely MtoA. In this rendering I've try to recreate the cheap plastic look for my maquette. Anyway I need to retopo the jacket again.

RIGGING is about passion

Rigging isn't easy, but can give you lot of satisfaction 

Not a very simple model for my very first test..........

Zbrush practice

Sci-fi glove - Final (fast) rendering

30 min keyshot+arnold+photoshop
Improving my economy workflow concept/time

Sci-fi glove WIP

Maybe someone of you don't know but I'm an old school industrial designer. I've ever used paper to concept at work but Zbrush makes me feel so powerful!
I hope to improve my self and became even faster and precise in creating 3D concept.

Self imposed brief for today: create something for power up the hand sensitivity
Probably this will be a long glove for a sith concept or something like that.

:) Hope you enjoy it!

DARKWING DUCK - final model

Hello everyone! Finally today I've found some hours to work on my darkwing duck model! Here is the final t-pose before rigging
