Adaptation B: Crit Presentation

Adaptation B: Making of

Making of document for Adaptation B. Not sure why the first image appears twice, as it seems to have appeared like this on scribd. Turnarounds will be uploaded later, I'm still rendering some bits out.

After speaking with Alan he showed me a way to make the shaders more cartoon looking. I think they're looking pretty good so far and just need a little tweaking.

Plastic is fully skinned!

Rig so far for my Glass Beetle. I can say I'm confident rigging arms after rigging four! It still needs a few additional things and then a tidy up!
