18/08/2011
Been asked by alot of people for a breakdown in the cloth sculpting, I try to turn it into more of a modelling exercise by working very low and using topology to define the cloth work. then when you go up in subdivs it really holds the shape, lots still to do to this to make it look nicer and once the seams are in it will look 10x better
17/08/2011
Bit more cloth work, scrapped the huge horns too
gives him more presence this way and also means closer renders ![]()
17/08/2011
