Monsters!

Felt like fooling around in ZB some more. I got interested in trying to make some other creature sculpts.

This guy is some sort hunter beast. Maybe you can use it to eat your neighbor's yippy little dog that wakes you up at all hours of the morning...

This guy got started after looking at H.R. Gigers concept art for Alien. Fantastic stuff, if a little weird. So I thought I'd take a stab at making something in that direction.

So that was going well, I got curious what it would look like rigged up and in an environment. So I went into Messiah and rigged up a simple rig (spent most of the time trying to remember how to rig up the IK joints), then created a simple environment in Modo. First shot's darker with more detail (higher AA rates in the renderer), second is brighter to see more the background. The creature itself is not rendered with the displacement on, it's just the simple base mesh used for animating.

Then thought, "well everyone gotta get around, right? The Universe is a big place after all", so Voila! a quickie space ship to experiment with.
