Weeble rendering

[redcode]

Meanie" Weeble.

Wanted to practice my speed in getting light just the way I wanted to. Global illumination and one spot light.

Modeled in Silo, textured in Photoshop, rendered in Electric Image. Total modeling/texturing time: 1 hour, total rendering time: >20 seconds.

Now that's a mean character Reginald, we will have to make a restricted section in the gallery to accomodate it...

Nice test, good texture and bumps. Where those made of wood? If so, to give the little fellow a more realistic appearence, I would scar the paint a bit and add a couple of indents to show the destruction power of the young owner...

Did you use a transparency map? We kind of see through parts of it?

Thanks for the suggestions, Richard! Actually, it's not a transparency map, it's a reflection of the wood (that's what you get for cheating really quickly and using repeated textures). I totally forgot those two steps, scarring the paint and denting up the little toy. By the way, Weebles appear to have been made primarily from plastic, but I believe there were attempts to make them out of wood. As such, the paint is more worn than scarred. Those little guys were practically indestructible!

"Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down."

I don't remember any looking that mean, though...

Very nice!

Nice UV mapping and texture. No smearing. Good job. Like to see him square off with one of the Lego men. Looks pretty intimidating tho. :)
