Updates, Keyshot, and Daleks

Rendered in Keyshot

Finally, I have created an official website for my work. Now, this blog can be made into just a dump for artwork not worthy enough to be put on the portfolio, real reason is the limited space available with a free account under CarbonMade.

I'd like to take this chance to post up some experiments with Keyshot. This was the first time I've tried assigning multiple material IDs and so far has worked. Tried out several materials from the massive library and stayed in the brass metal category, with a few exceptions like rubber, frosted glass, red glass, and some steel materials.

Eventually I'll try adding textures on top of the materials to see what effects I can get. My main goal is to make models where I can utilize both the high and low poly meshes; this is causing me to be more considerate of how I model a high poly and to try making the low first, unwrap, then create a high from that. That'll be the next model though, but, the idea is there somewhere along the way.

Also, worked on this Dalek in celebration of the 50th anniversary approaching next month, love to see some old faces again.
