Character & Scene Development



I finished my alien and the cell, but once i brought into Maya it crashed/froze my computer every single time I tried to use the Legacy High Quality, I had my lighting done and everything.... 
UPDATE
You said it was ok to just post the low quality render so here it is
You basically can't see any of the sculpting that took forever or even the pants but it's there.

Character & Scene Development

Video 16

Video 17

Video 19
Finished texturing the ear things, back of the head in video 16 and moved on to making the aliens eye and adding subtleties to make it appear more realistic in video 16. Since you said we didn't have to do every video to save time, I moved to 19 where I'm texturing the cell using projection painting with a concrete image/stencil.

Character & Scene Development

I'm still on video 16, where I'm coloring and layering shades on the alien to create texture and to make the skin look better/more realistic. Since its a 1/2 day I didn't finish 16 yet

Finished sculpting the alien's pants in video 15 and started on video 16 where I began painting the alien's body with a base green color and started using the airbrush to add variety/other color/texture.

Character & Scene Development

Finished Video 14 where I continued to add details and wrinkles to the aliens face in places where it would bend/actually wrinkle, added texture and bumps to the hands and feet, and made the aliens mouth to add to their expression. I barely started 15 where I'm beginning to sculpt the aliens shorts to appear more realistic.

Finished Video 12/sculpting the head, and went through all of 13 where I used stamps to sculpt and pinch the ears into the right shape/texture. I started Video 14, where I started adding wrinkles to the aliens eye and sculpting them.

Character & Scene Development

Video 11

Video 12
Finished Video 11 once I exported everything correctly and went through Video 12, where I began sculpting the body, I still need to finish part of the head since I spent half of class trying to figure out how to change the sensitivity/speed/input threshold for the 3D mouse (which I was able to do) and how to get rid of the inverse controls (which I couldn't figure out how to do so I just physically turned the mouse around)

Character & Scene Development

Video 11
Got about halfway into video 11, exported the Maya files into Mudbox, but then it didn't match the tutorials and I got stuck, and spent basically the rest of the time trying to figure out what happened/how to fix it so all my meshes were still individual.

Character & Scene Development

Video 11
Finished Video 10, where I worked on the UVs for the aliens body and cell but I think I messed up really badly but I'm not entirely sure what happened, so I'm using the project file for 11 so the UVs are correct, where I'm beginning to transfer to Mudbox.

Video 9

Video 10
Finished Video 9 where I duplicated and extruded faces out from the alien's body to create his shorts, as well as adjusting points to make it look more realistic and give it more thickness/depth. I started Video 10 where I began setting up and adjusting UVs with the hardware texturing on the head, using cylindrical mapping.

Finished Video 5, where i created the other half of the leg, bridged the two parts of the leg, created the foot and shaped it, then bridged that to the leg. Started Video 6 where I began connecting the leg to the main body and turning it to create the correct post, and bridging it to the body.
