Twininator - Liam Davis


Kohjuma trailer for 3D assignment, thought i'd post it up so that the Kohjuma's progess on here is finally complete starting off from a quick sketch drawing to a finalized trailer.

Edit: Sorry for the quality, not sure why its so fuzzy.

eclipse temple update

Twiniator - Liam Davis

For this lesson i was working on the camera footage for the temple, not much to say but walla, that is all.

Swamp Temple accessory Concept drawings

Twininator - Liam Davis



Model all done so just did some concept drawings for the Swamp Temple level, the tools are just a come to mind drawing.
Got a spear which could be used for hunting, the blade is made of bone and tied down by some vines onto a carved wooden pole.
next to that is a hammer used to build things and next to it is a stone chisel for things like shaping out stones, both made from rock the hammer being tied down onto a wooden handle.
Last is a knife that could be used as a cutting tool around the village, completely carved from a bone, tied around the handle is some animal pelt to improve gripping.

Kohjuma complete and animation

Twininator - Liam Davis



Sup people, had a bit of a rollercoaster this week at home but here's final Kohjuma which i have no idea why that white ring has appeared around its hair, tried for a few hours to get rid of it but sent it to michelle to see if she can fix it but apart from that, walla.

Ji Gumo Complete

Hey people. The process of the Ji Gumo creature is completed with texture and animations all finished. Did always find some error on the creature especially with the movement and it was always around the webbing part between its arms and body and boy did I have fun fixing that throughout the holidays but in the end I'm pretty sure I got it and looked okay, so walah! 8D. (If theres is any need for enhancements to it then give us a shout)

P.S Also to explain the absences of myself and Liam (Twininator) we were both pretty sick especially near the end of the holiday but it really kicked him and I in the rear today.

Kohjuma Just an update post

Sup people, update of my critter, i've almost completed the animations movements for Kohjuma and by tomorrow i'll be ready to unwrap and begin texturing it.
Not much to say but thought i'd post my progress.

Kohjuma

Liam Davis - Twininator

Not really much to show but basically just worked on rigging Kohjuma, didn't get to start the animations but i'm close to it.

Kohjuma with Biped

Twininator - Liam Davis



My god Kohjuma's eating the biped!!!!!

Yeah spent most of the lesson clearing lines i didn't need and structurering the biped.

Edit: I've also decided to remove the bone hooks under the hoofs and instead i've gone with suckers, much like an ocutpus.

Kohjuma with hair

Twininator - Liam Davis





With lots of help with michelle got the grass hair and still modelling it around to make it clean but basically got it finished.

Kohjuma Almost Finished Model

Twininator - Liam Davis



So here's my almost complete model which gonna have Michelle do the final edits for its hair (I have given permission for Michelle to add the final touches for its hair, my model is her model.)

Kohjuma Action Sheet

Twininator - Liam Davis





I've roughly drawn up some action movements for this critter that it would do in the game.

1. Sleeping stance when it hides in tall grass to rest, it stands as it does and keeps its arm crossed against it, this is so that it doesn’t accidently get spotted because it’s gone and left its arms poking out from the grass even though it’s using the scent from its grass hair to cover up its own scent.

2. This is its attacking action, this is used when attempting to take down a big enemy, it will leap towards the enemy, bring its arms and legs and then spring them out to latch onto the enemy, also while doing this it brings out its bone hooks from under the hoofs of its feet to keep stuck on the enemy, then it will began feasting.

3. Not much to say for this action, its rolling and that’s pretty much it, it does keep its arms and legs tucked up against it for that nice smooth roll and not under any hazard of snagging onto something, the faster it gets it will eventually begin to bounce, like a ball.

4. Taunting action especially during a standoff against an enemy, it hops with a one leg to the other motion while waving its arms, it moves side to side as it does this followed by growls/barks.

5. Crouching down action, used when feeding on prey that’s dead or taken down, sometimes even doing it while feeding on smaller creatures.

6. Running action, this was a little tricky to try and pull off but the way it runs is it keeps one leg down while it brings the other forward, it’s almost like a speed walk kind of motion.

Kohjuma (Finally got a name)

Twininator - Liam Davis





Michelle and I finally got a name for this critter, we agreed to Kohjuma because it sounds similar to Luke's creature Ji-Gumo and since we're kind of having them pitted together we thought it was suitable.
Anyway this is the start of me modelling it, doesn't look good now because haven't quite got it all shaped out yet.

Kohjuma (final concept)

Twininator - Liam Davis



So here's the final concept for this creature.




This is the model sheet so far for it.

Kohjuma (update Post)

Twininator - Liam Davis





Managed to get this critter finished after class.

This is a day creature, as you can see it has the symbol of it on its shoulder, its known to always be on the move, mainly running and most times it will be in at least a group of 3-5, there about the size of a basket ball, some are bigger but not by much.
With its terrifying features this creature would probably not survive as it is clumsy, when hopping/running most times it will hit into a tree or a boulder that’s in its way, in seconds it will get back up and try again hoping it won't hit the same object again and keep moving.

It may be clumsy but it can be quite feral when it comes to standing its ground, one on its own can take down the casual small creature

2: Can take down a large creature but requires some effort and chances that creature will get away.

3: Can take down a large creature but requires effort and the creature will definitely not be able to escape

4: Can take down a large creature no problem

5: No hope for the large creature

It will use its bone like clamps which it keeps tucked under their hoof like feet until they strike to latch onto the prey, and will use its small claws to tear away small bits of flesh and throw it into its mouth, sometimes actually missing.
It will only ever use its mouth in an attack when a creature is so small it can scoop it up into it mouth and swallow it whole.

When this creature is not on the move and wanting to rest, it will curl up and using the grass like hair attached on the top of its head it will hide in tall grass as camouflage, the grass like hair will then send off a scent that will remove their scent to fool predators that lurk around the area.
There have been sayings that the grass like hair describes their age, the longer it is the older it is, no one knows for sure.

Its sworn enemy is the Ji-Gumo and can be quite a show when groups of both creatures encounter.

No Name Creature update.

Twininator - Liam Davis




So i changed cute little harmless ball thing to an agressive creature, it uses the hook like blades on its feet to latch onto prey and uses its claws to rip away small chunks of flesh and then eats it.
There not as threatning as you think but if they get intimitaded they will attack.

Note: This is just the basic concept of the creature as i will be making edits to it.

My Creature

Twininator - Liam Davis



Here's my creature for Eclipse, just a rough idea that came to mind, it's a harmless critter that will spend most of its time running and even bouncing like a ball.
The name that i can only think for it at the moment is Sphero.
