Modeling Process

This timelapse shows the process I used to model the crab. It is usually referred to as "box modeling". I used Blender, but box modeling can be done in most any 3d program..... Of course I am normally much more cautious when modeling, and spend a lot more time refining and detailing than what you see in this 30min session.

Photoshop Paintover

This is the look I will probably be going for when texturing the crab.... Think I may have a name for him now too. Snips!

Working on a rig

Here is my first attempt at a rig in Blender. If you care to see it, here is a 5min screen recording of me testing it out. You might want to skip the first half or so.... I am re-working a good bit of it now.... EDIT: Wow. Those knee controllers are all kinds of bad =p They have been fixed since the vid was recorded.

Sculpey Crab

Did this guy with sculpey several months ago. Colored with prismacolor pencils. I hope to do more with sculpey soon. It's a really basic sculpt, but there is something really satisfying about holding what you created in your hands.
