So this car finally has about 5 hours left to render. Either I don’t know what I’m doing or this car has something about it that makes the renders take FOREVER. Anyway, it’s nearly over, I’m thinking of redoing the smoke in FumeFX for Max (Because I can’t get it for Maya). But we’ll see.

My next project, dear readers (All two of you), is a YouTube channel.

I modelled that mask in Maya as a start using some reference from the movie, then pulled it into Zbrush where I did the final sculpting, UV’d in Headus (The new version is fantastic by the way) and then rendered in Element 3D. Didn’t see that one coming did you!!? LOL.

I’ve made myself a hat, a cowboy hat, to track my head movement. It’s polystyrene so it won’t move and I’ve used a permanent marker to place tracking markers all over. Done a test and it worked well.

I’ll only be putting stuff up later on once I’ve got the channel started. I’ll do a making of.
