Current Updates right now :

• Scrapped doing the Jurassica Previz for now, i need a new way of tackeling it more Effectively, still got far with it
• Retopo going well for Yoko Ruby, almost done with her Body and can get her clothing and everything else done fellowed by doily´s Retopo, once i got all my models retopo done
• we´re appoarching the 100th Video and im unsure what i wanna see for it become, im planning to make a teaser for one video idea tho that´ll be done after tomorrow when i have seen JWR.

as of now im not sure what i´ll do for my 100th video but, im getting more Fixable and i´ll likely upload a few more video´s on YouTube, the 100th one gotta be something Special to me, either it Be Future wildlife OR A challanger to Goji-center´s Bloop will remain to be seen.

WELP, Got more done on Hercy than i had Orignally Planned, YAY

it dose mean i´ll get to work on the rhomaleosaurus.

also after a bit of Trail and Error, testing and Rejecting,

i think i figured out the Best Workflow Regarding the Scales as far as the little ones, idea will be Put into Pratices when i do Hercy BUT here is the Plan

• First im useing the Actual Texture brush´s used for the multires Sculpt(mainly a Bird Leg Texture whice works fine enough for dinosaurs here)
• 2nd i´ll than use Normal map Online Dot com to Create a normal map and than i can use overlay on the normal map

Sadly i didn´t have an image of the setup i did for the normalmap online so, tired to recreate it here.

Hopefully when i do the Actual model prepwork you get to see the resluts.

OK SO, Thought i would Wanna Get the Multires done for the allosaurus AND Also Akira too.

Going to get Hercy Done tomorrow and i´ll likely take a little longer than these two, the only Reason im Re-doing Hercy´s Multires Sculpting is because of this Allo here

Tho one thing i´ll likely do agian here, i´ll leave certian areas scale less as im planning to do smaller Scales in Certain areas with Textures i found out with the Allosaurus it might actually work better than just Sculpt All the Scales, i think now im working on Jurassica, Doing All these models and everything i should keep an open mind regarding Such things, for Multires outside that of People, i think im kinda Still learning what i wanna do tho new Tricks have opened up the door to new ideas and new better models.

for Akira tho i did Do a bit more work but, only becuase i had a clear idea and wanted to do it that way. like with Real Sculpting, there is a million ways of doing it in alot of these steps, tho im haveing kinda mixed feelings of it tho, this is mostly because i haven´t Yet done Textureing for a Creature like Hercy or the Allo model.

anyways After Hercy´s Makeover, i´ll get back to the Previz, already done part of it

and atleast animated This bit.

ALRIGHT SOOOOOOOOOOOO,

WHAT IS THE PLAN FOR NOW? Welp,

• Going to get the previz done
• Getting Retopo done for the 9 models Retopo done

YEP, Here we go Agian i guess, another round of Multires Sculpting for Hercy here

this is mostly due to

1 - NEW UVMAPPING FOR HERCY, Yeah wasn´t too found of the last one and it´s mostly because i had a hard time getting it right IDK, just thought his toes needed a new one

2 - more improtently after doing it a bit more with a few other Reptilies (Reggie, Khan AND at the momment an allosaurus) i think it would be neat to do Hercy one more agian

3 - i figured out some new Tricks for how to do the Multires sculpting Today at most BTW

SO yeah might have to Delay Hercy a bit but, That´s OK for now atleast,

hopefully getting the new multires done for Hercy shouldn´t Take too long, also interesting update regarding the Teeth Textures, outside Hercy and Reggie, i don´t think i´ll be multires sculpting the Teeth on my models anymore, IDK feel like i can get away useing Textures, we´ll see.

anyways after This Allo it´s either Hercy or Akira, doing a Poll Akira´s Winning out right now tho, who knows

Link to Poll

on that note, THIS TIME i´ll likely Sculpt all Hercy´s Scales, reason been i think i might be able to Pull it off, if not welp i can do Texture scales tho, i have found out that smaller Scales are better off with textures while BIG Scales should be done in Multires sculpting simple as that.

also note to Self, YES im well aware i got a Cool ass Rapturak here and i wanna sculpt it alongside other models right now and i want to Sculpt that NOW to kill time and get it done BUT LIKE...

i Got Three models to multires Sculpt right now and also 9 models to do Retopo one (AND who knows? maybe also get Multires done on those) so YEAH that is also on TOP of the Previz im currently working on for Jurassica.

so, best to wait a bit, maybe even for a little longer, gonna take a little bit before but might wanna feel it out a bit, i still think it´s Best to get Hercy and Willa Brown done FIRST! ATLEAST UP UNTILL BOTH THIER TEXTURES ARE FULLY DONE

MAYBE EVEN ALSO GET NAT, DOILY, KITUBE, GRUMPY AND SKITTLES DONE TOO we´ll see.

i´d Love to just do these models on the Fly and as of doing this Blog Post, im getting there but, still not there yet.

OK Got Grumpy done today,

NOW i can get back to the previz for Jurassica

Well i did plan out other things too but main focus is Jurassica´s Previz for now,

but here is a list than

• i shall now Try to complete Jurassica Safari Park´s Previz
• to save time, sculpting for a few models will be tackled just before the ending battle, these models are for Jurassica Safari Park so, i think it´s for the better if i do that right away.
• might aslo be a good idea to maybe get the allo´s multires Sculpting done tho when IDK we´ll see.
• Retopo for 9 models shall be done JUST before the post ending, it was gonna be 14, but i think it´s better if i save Alex, Conner, Masie, Terry and Biggie Cheese for AFTER Willa and Hercy are done. in edition i might get the Dryosaurus dome later tho we´ll see

i did Plan to also get G.P.N´s Script done but, i´ll save that for when the time comes for it, now i gotta figure out the right ways to get these projects done. SO Tomorrow animatic for this scene and than i can animate it all... wish me good luck.

i got this, Willa Brown AND Hercy too who are almost done, animated Content is still a bit far away as far as im wanting it to be.

YEP, missing Skittles and Grumpy than back to the Previz agian.

been getting a few eyes done too

and i´ll likely get alot more done too.

ALRIGHT, Kitube´s Looking good, missing his body and paws THAN to Skittles, than Grumpy and than Previz for jurassica agian whice as planned will be fully completed besides post bits as i´ll than get Retopo done for all the models here (10 models)

Akio and Alex Been planned to at some piont(most likely after getting the major scene with The two done in Previz)

so that´s mostly why they are are on the Retopo list.

becuase i feel a bit Stuck today and have gotten a Really bad case of "i can´t do jack shit" regarding Scripts lately.

i actually thought of doing This blog post.

so, i´d like to start off with, YEP Done Khan´s multires and did it yesterday and i was either going to get Nat Done or Jurassica´s Previz done, going for the Previz, i did get things ready for animatic but got kinda stuck.

so to help myself to break down the things, breaking down what it means for Makeing characters and Useing the Characters if i ever wanna get off the ground in the best way i can, as well as a run down of how far i have gotten

Makeing the Characters

makeing a Character is the part where i sculpt, Retopo, Multires sculpt details, Textureing, rigging and so on.

i often like to do some Prep work every step, like blockout models in advance, getting the basic textures and some textures ready for bakeing post multires, i like to make sure the models look great every angle and roteation.

Useing the Characters

useing these Fully Rigged, textures and groomed models for something like a movie Requires a Script, Previz, the right Audio, VA from myself or people elsewhere(B-Sky, Newgrounds and Hopefully Via YouTube some day) and of course the fully rigged models, this will take time to get it smooth and look life like, thus Previz is key to get it right as a good refence, to find out how long a video is and what´s going on.

Current status

to end it off, i´d like to say i have gotten more Effective at makeing my characters, useing them Effectively is something im currently getting back to too, with Jurassica helping me out getting better tho i do think it´s best i gotta get it done fully done before moveing onto the models fully.

However the momment i Stopped Deleteing models i have Gotten pretty far SO here is the update so far

19 - blocked out

9 - sculpted

7 - Retopo done

6 - done multires

2 - Texture prep work

1 - Textureing done : Willa Brown and that´s just for Orgnaic shaders like skin and such

the thing i do think im kinda Stuck at is the Textureing side of things(tho i have gotten better and leaveing a link here), still missing models i have rigged and are ready for animation.

on the side of useing characters, i think im getting a good workflow, by makeing a kind of animatic useing the same models for previz, due to how Long Jurassica is going to be it might take a bit but, i think once done i might be able to do the same as i have done for the models and make some prep work for projects, i have had a few Problems to get Scripts off the ground, outside a few videos abotu Certian hybirds whice are pretty boaring to work scripts for and alot of Quoll Alone projects, always get some funny ideas i shit out and i got 4 scripts done.

ALRIGHT So given the current status, how quickly i can get models done and how big Jurassica is going to be, i think the best Act of Action here, i think because i had Thrown myself into this matter and how i feel regarding getting the Quolly Gang done now, THAN i can focus on the Previz fully for Jurassica or get Very VERY Far with it, maybe getting a few models Retopo´d before i get the ending done.

OK Got Willa Brown´s Main body skin shaders done and same for belty

now back to the Previz, i should also plan a bit ahead tho today, gotten Khan done up till his Multires and im also planning to Sculpt The Quolly Gang before i do any Retopo work on Yoko Ruby and im currently doing Nat now, thankfully his Head is done, still tho i think i Gotta Feel out if It´s a good idea to keep the Yoko Ruby Retopo on this list or not.

is it Easy enough or still a huge task to overcome for a human character, tho we´ll see about that

but anyways Back to Work on Jurassica´s Previz animation tomorrow i guess tho makeing a YT Poll to see what i should do first... feels like a good idea and i´ll also feel it out a bit about WHAT to do and think over it a bit too.

i did get Doily´s Sculpt done between textureing Willa Brown´s body and alot of other things too so might be something to think about.

Haveing gotten the SSS Maps ready, tomorrow it´s time to get Willa Brown done

also today worked on another Well known Gal of mine, Doily´s Sculpt is almost done, im just missing her shorts and shoes THAN i can prep her Up for Retopo, than to Nat, Kitube, Skittles AND Grumpy, once they are ready i think we´re ready for everything, sculpting them is a good thing to do now.
