Hello,
I had in mind this picture for a long time
after my short movie "Niumb", I
wanted to work on another short inspired by
the Amazon legends. The universe is a rainforest
and strange people living on the top of high
wood structures.
First,
It's better to have in mind a picture, draw
it on paper, it's the best way to illustrate
where you want to go ; it can be a very rough
sketch, very simple to help you to place your
volumes, camera and lighting.
I
started first to model the land, after, I
placed rough shapes to equilibrate the composition
before including the character:
I
used a simple Grid with 40 subdivisions,
after what I moved some vertex vertically
with the smooth selection option, Its
easy to model simple shapes of a terrain,
but you need to randomise that . I selected
the highest points and added a noise modifier
to make it more natural. The next step
is to add a Mesh smooth on the whole geometry,
and particularly on the highest vertices.

By
the way I worked on the character, I started
with a simple box for the body,
This is my first 3D character, so bee cool
with me, the anatomy is not perfect J, I wanted
at the same time a charismatic, primitive
character, like some indians korowai could
be in Irian Jaya , perched on the top of their
lookouts-houses, but I also wanted it to have
an alien-fantastic look :)
Texture
and 3D model, I used the wire of the
unwrap as a
guide to do the texture.
