Weekly Drills 061 - LEGO

Few days late for this drill. I started Zbrush last week, was busy playing with UI and brushes.

This was fun. finally creating a character. I never used lego, but have watched the movies in fact I learned about legos from the movies, so finding out how parts look and joints connect was fun. I had a lego figure in mind, Like a guy waving to his crew on the way to his office. I wanted to create something simple. Mainly because I cant draw so I have to make use of the limited PNGs from the internet for the emotions and clothes. Although I was able to use the alphas too for extra details.  Arranged my references for finding the certain reference fast.

Then after finishing the Model in Maya, Created a clone and then pose it for getting general Idea. Also did the final UVs. For lack of arm reference, I mainly struggled with this part.

Then comes texturing. I didnt do much, added a lit bit roughness and followed the references for glossiness. Main part was the clothes and face, which I was saved by PNGs. This took me a while plus I used few alphas and gradient filter to change the color. Used GIMP to adjust the PNGs.

Huge thanks to this https://share.substance3d.com/libraries/107. Was able to work smoothly.

Then finally to Maya for arnold render.

At the end this was fun and Everything was awesome.
Thanks and hoping I could be in the feedback video as I was few days late. Thanks
