I really like a lot of the 3d modeling that you've done, and I'm glad to see you join us here at CCN.

Based off a sculpt from the workshop designers.

Hmm cant rember exactly off hand. The subD cage probably 30-40k . The high res for extracted displacements 10Million+

Here I put in a plug for www.mudbox3d.com
Created by 3 friends of mine. Amazing tool for sculpting hires detail very fast. Great for generating your displacement or normal maps etc.

Thanks...tho I cant really take all the credit.

The main design credits are Weta Workshop who make amazing sculpts. I modeled it based off that. And modified as needed to work as a animatable CG creature. Creature TDs, Animation TDs, Texture TDs, Shader Writers all contributed to bring the model to life...so to speak.

Thanks for sharing the photos.

Do you have any experience with the shaders as well? or do you generally just leave that up to other guys?

I don't think most people working on such projects earn ridiculous amounts of money, besides there are things which weight more than money.

That's gold right? (j/k) Not all that is gold glitters - look for things above not things on earth.
Good thought

Dunno much about the hardware, but WETA, DreamWorks and some other studios that are big into CGI use Linux rendering farms.

Sounds pretty close to me..
Obviously I cant talk about internal stuff due to NDA.

However, personally. I do almost everything 3d with Maya. Mudbox is great for the detailed stuff and extDsp maps. I havent done much textuirng myself, except for randomly using photoshop and a few 3d paint packages (like body paint).

Never Forget to Pray!

"...prayer itself is an art which only the Holy Ghost can teach us. He is the giver of all prayer. Pray for prayer---pray till you can pray; pray to be helped to pray, and give not up praying because you cannot pray, for it is when you think you cannot pray that you are most praying. Sometimes when you have no sort of comfort in your supplications, it is then that your heart---all broken and cast down---is really wrestling and truly prevailing with the Most High."
Charles Haddon Spurgeon, from the pamphlet, "Effective Prayer"

HAHA..I cant really say anything here.
But "PJ approved" is a classic line. (I have it on a t-shirt even). I think you see it stamped on the box art for Kong production diaries too.
Weta is a great place to work. The artists here are incredibly talented at their respective fields.
