CGArena Excellence Award!!

Hi, it's my honor that my warhammer rider has got a second award- CGArena Excellence Award. They put my works into the Scenes catogory not the Characters catogory that I can't find it for awhile. Anyway, thanks for the CGArena judges!

cilck on the award logo to link my CGArena page.

這次我的戰鎚騎士拿到了第二個大獎- CGArena Excellence Award, 因為並不是放在character類別中，所以我過了很久才發現得獎...錯過了首頁展示...實在有點可惜，不過還是很感謝CGArena團隊給我這個獎，謝謝!

here is the award logo that I got.

thanks everyone who has supported me.
Feeling so good at this magic moment.
cheers!

喔喔~這邊非常高興的告訴大家，我的最新作品-戰鎚騎士，受到3Dtotal評審們的青睞，榮獲 3DTotal Excellence Award，選入了3Dtotal gallery。
這邊小弟真是倍感榮幸阿，雖然覺得自己還是有很多不足的地方，但是被選上就是一種肯定，這是從我開始做3D這些年中，從來沒有過的感覺，這件事情對我來說代表的意義就是:"從摔倒的地方再站起來"，曾經在那些大討論區被無情的批評痛擊，現在終於反擊回去了!
總之，謝謝大家的支持。將來我會繼續努力下去的。

Warhammer Rider WIP 07

Hi, it has been awhile not pose any update for this guy.
cause I worked on several adjustments for my final illustrations.
After fought with the weight of my character,
I developed 5 poses as the main model of my illustrations that I most satisfy with.
And trying to add some decent environments behind.

HI，久久沒更新是因為我努力在做最後的修飾工作。終於，我能在年底之前作完，
不然我所有的簽名跟網站都要改成2010，哈哈。
講真格的，我非常高興到最後我能完成他，雖然不敢說多好，至少達到現階段的目標了!!這之中也有很多朋友給我的意見跟鼓勵，非常感謝你們這段時間以來的支持，讓我的作品不會從中腰斬。製作這東西的過程我得到很多，不過最重要的還是堅持。大家一起努力吧!!

關於這次的作品:
我的目標是做出五張戰鎚騎士的靜態插圖，所以在跟weight奮鬥了一會之後，我擺出五個還算滿意的動作，再用shave and a haircut做出馬的鬃毛，這樣主體算是完成了。接下來用PS分別做了五個不同感覺的場景，得到最後的完成效果。

Hi everyone,

I worked on UVs for these days,

and these are small updates in zbrush.

最近這兩天都在拆這隻的UV，所以ZB裡面加的比較少

不過還是來幾張更新圖~

近期內可以上材質了~~gogo

Warhammer Rider WIP 01

Hi, everyone,
I decide to do a warhammer character this time.
kind of big challenge for me.
see how far I can reach.
concepts are from online gallery.
OK, here we go!
horse first...

HI~這次來做個戰鎚的騎士WIP

概念設計圖從官網拿來的
卻發現戰鎚的設計還不是普通的複雜
DW4之前就已經在進行了，現在把基本模型搬出來進ZB
馬先來一隻~~

Posted In Warhammer Rider WIP | 0 意見 |

After the DW4 contest, I spent some time to do the final adjustment.
use matte painting background and composition etc.
render several passes add to the final.
that's I called it done.

在DW4比賽完之後，我又花了一點時間修飾了一些細部，另外再加上matte painting的背景

中間作了很多反覆的嘗試，包括合成，PS手繪，從MAYA跳MAX再從MAX跳回MAYA等等...
很多東西都還很不熟，不過真的是一個很寶貴的經驗，下面是完成效果。

OK, I am pretty satisfy that I can finish the entry,I learn a lot this time.

there are my final images, thanks for watching.

雖然成果不是多理想，不過我總算能趕的上期限，這是我最高興的一點。
(很多人都說:有做完就是贏家 )
另一點就是，參加這比賽我的確學到很多。也開了眼界
增加了很多小技巧，就像喝通樂一樣。暢通無阻，呵呵。
謝謝你的觀看。如果有時間，我會繼續深入這傢伙的。
