The Last Mixtape : updates

Chris Thompson updated his The Last Mixtape with great new work and reel.

Riddle Knob Todd

This was made in Maya, rendering in Mental Ray and doing the compositing in Photoshop. I tried to match the grain over the whole render.. not sure how well that worked out. There’s still a lot I have to learn about skin shaders and such too… but seeing as this is my first attempt at a human character with believable features, it turned out at least decent enough I suppose.

It was fun to do either way and am ready to get on to the next task; shooting live footage for my dinosaur compositing 🙂 Exciting
