Some recent creature shots for my next showreel. Trying to focus on body mechanics and attitude and also tackle an unconventional 6 limbs and snake like body. The head tendrils took a while to keyframe. I would probably look into a procedural solution next time.
I’ve been trying to get a good quality previs look with maya viewport 2.0 playblasts. I want to incorporate this into my concept art process in future to negate the need for longer pre rendered solutions.
Hope people like the shots.
I did all aspects on this clip apart from rigging. the audio track is taken from Bear McCreary track “Storming New Caprica (From ‘Exodus, Parts 2’)”
