ICE Team project: George the treebeast |
|
This is George. He was my main test
character at Naughty Dog for all experiments while on the ICE Team.
These are the stills of the head that was created in Maya, then sculpted
and textured in zBrush. The premise of George was that he's a very old,
and large (30ft tall) creature, that lives in the forest. The sapplings
and large vines are growing on him due to seads dropping on him and
starting to grow due to his age and living conditions. He was used as a
complex test bed for techniques, and was never intended to be used in
any naughty dog game. I was responsible for sculpting, texturing,
rigging, physics, animation, shaders, and Progressive Meshing
technologies. |
