Great work! I saw so many cool Halo characters in the past months. I really should start to play this game!

This character was created for the Unused Cinematics for a game called legendary, This wolf was difficult because i was not allowed to change the poly count, OR the broad shapes too much as the model had to work on the same rig as the in-game model. This didnt allow me to do as broad of changes as i would have liked to. even the teeth were modeled into the base mesh. as were the eyes,tongue. You can see the base mesh i was given here. This was all shot on the red one camera with digital creatures added, it was not used because “it didnt look like the game” anyways click here to see the animation The rigging didnt allow for shapes fixes, or sculpt deformers,muscles since its the ingame rig. so theres some wonky defomations…

the animation is done by my good friend Joe Hoback from Rhythm & Hues, and the lighting by Akira Orikasa from ILM, both great guys who are the reason this all worked out. :) ![legendaryWolf2.jpg|540x443](upload://aMMYdE25natZUHf5m8BbkTNeWSj.jpeg) [here to see the animation](http://warproductions.com/portfolio_legendary.html) Miguel

Wow. The werewolf turned out great considering all the limitations. Any chance of seeing the halo character in colour?

#21

heres a concept for legendary game cinematic, This was done in zbrush, mudbox. This was also for the game cinematic. but also wasnt used…

hey Brett,
I would show the brute model with color but he has too many happy colors for me…i called him the angry easter egg. and it was pastel colors to boot…man, not for me, you can see it in color on the cinematic… :slight_smile:

ah, i recommend you buy the mental ray book, the one with the airplane on the cover, its great, also check out gnomon, and mymentalray site.

so you know though, this was using MR skin shader, MIA shaders, and the mix20 shaders which i love.

Dude can I be your best friend?
I’m dreaming of being in the position you’re in, I can’t even tell you…I already changed my name to Miguel Ortega…

Btw I checked out your portfolio on your website (awesome) but I’ve noticed some quicktime movies aren’t working correctly (seperate passes-underworld and your part on ‘the cave’) you might want to look into that (could also be just my computer that’s giving problems but not likely).

Yours truly,

Miguel Ortega
