Click for full-sized image		Milestone: Final Image Date Submitted: Tuesday, 15 June 2004 Title: Final Image Notes: OK this is it - the finished product. AS ever there's loads more i'd love to have done but you guys know how it works :) I've opted for a simple, light background to best show off the model and after a couple of small touchups in Photoshop and it's all done. Must rush - i'm catching a plane to Portugal in a few hours. I'm off for Euro2004 Football finals - C'mon Enlgand :) Thanks for all the support and comments - it's been great fun. Bring on the next one. CGTalk: CGTalk Thread | CGTalk Post

Click for full-sized image		Milestone: Rendering Date Submitted: Friday, 11 June 2004 Title: Tweaking Notes: I've made lots of subtle changes mainly to the eyebrows, plug and bulb. I've also ramped up the Sub-Surface Scattering and tweaked the lighting. Some things are for the better and some are not. I'm going to leave the hair I planned out simply due to the short amount of time left, nevermind I think he still looks pretty good with a skinhead. CGTalk: CGTalk Thread | CGTalk Post
Click for full-sized image		Milestone: Rendering Date Submitted: Monday, 07 June 2004 Title: Improved eyes Notes: I've worked a lot on the eye area by imroving the eyeballs themsleves and adding eyebrows and eyelashes. I've also imroved on the wire conectors and textured on his shaven head. CGTalk: CGTalk Thread | CGTalk Post
Click for full-sized image		Milestone: Lighting Date Submitted: Friday, 04 June 2004 Title: New Lighting Notes: I've altered the lighting, using a new HDRI map along with two omnis. I've also made a displacement map for the hand to give it all the wrinkles - anthing to put of making the hair :) CGTalk: CGTalk Thread | CGTalk Post
Click for full-sized image		Milestone: Lighting Date Submitted: Tuesday, 01 June 2004 Title: Lighting and compostion experiment Notes: I've spiced up the composition and used an HDRI map for the basis to the lighting. It's rendered using Brazil with a sky light (HDRI), a key light and a back light. I think the lighting is effective on the head but not quite so on the hand. Plus it's all a bit short on colour, so i'll be looking at that. CGTalk: CGTalk Thread | CGTalk Post
Click for full-sized image		Milestone: Texturing Date Submitted: Tuesday, 01 June 2004 Title: Hand Texture Notes: I've also textured the hand (I love these bank holiday weekends). Once again i'm using Brazil to achieve the nice translucent look on the fingers. Now i've posed the hand I feel I need to model in some more detail where the skin would scrunch up.

Click for full-sized image		Milestone: Texturing Date Submitted: Tuesday, 01 June 2004 Title: Head Texture Notes: Here's the colour map for the face along with a render. As well as bump and specular maps I'm using Brazil to add translucency and skin cell detail. The t-shirt is currently proceedural. CGTalk: CGTalk Thread | CGTalk Post
Click for full-sized image		Milestone: Modeling Date Submitted: Tuesday, 01 June 2004 Title: Most elements modeled Notes: The hand has been boned and skinned and positioned to hold the plug. I've added wires and detail at the base of the light bulb. I've opted for a t-shirt as opposed to the suit I originally planned. I still like the idea of him wearing a shirt so might revisit that time-permitting. The hand has moved from the left of the character to the right for no reason other than I prefer the composition.

Click for full-sized image		Milestone: Modeling Date Submitted: Tuesday, 01 June 2004 Title: Hand Notes: The hand is pretty basic at this stage. I'll be adding more wrinkles and the like later. CGTalk: CGTalk Thread | CGTalk Post
Click for full-sized image		Milestone: Modeling Date Submitted: Tuesday, 06 April 2004 Title: Rendered Head Notes: I have spent some time adjusting the right side of the face to make the head more asymmetrical and hopefully more life-like. I have also added a wry expression. CGTalk: CGTalk Thread | CGTalk Post
Click for full-sized image		Milestone: Modeling Date Submitted: Tuesday, 06 April 2004 Title: Head Wireframe Notes: I've made good progress in the modelling of the head. I have moved the ligtbulb to sit more on top of the head, reinforcing the 'idea' theme to greater effect. CGTalk: CGTalk Thread | CGTalk Post
Click for full-sized image		Milestone: Concept Sketch Date Submitted: Monday, 29 March 2004 Title: Bright Idea Notes: OK, so this chaps a bit short on ideas but, fret not, he's been fitted with the patented 'Bright Idea Creator'. Simply plug it in and relieve that mind block at the flick of a switch - now where's the socket... CGTalk: CGTalk Thread | CGTalk Post
