Rigged Mesh Adventures

Rather than solely using this blog to announce work that is out and available for purchase, I’d like to start using this blog as a, well blog. So I decided to give everyone a glimpse into ZBrush to see what I’ve been working on: some rigged mesh boots.

Both Tobias and I have agreed that we’d like our brand [Handverk] to be associated with ‘handmade’, or custom-made products. We’ve spent quite a bit of time learning different programs and techniques to allow us to create truly unique content for our customers.  It has been no small feat to say the least, I have spent months and months self-learning ZBrush while Tobias is still creating a workflow that incorporates Maya. And just when I finally get a handle on techniques that I like, Linden Labs rolled out mesh. So I’ve been spending some time learning new tricks to get something fun and fashionable out there.

Though these boots are probably a bit of a ways off, they still need to be textured, different sizes need to be made and I have to figure out how to rig (which can’t be done in ZBrush! boo), I thought it would be nice to give everyone a peek.
