[FILM-WIP] Svarnakira (image-heavy warning)

Hi everyone :smiley:


Let me present you my current project, Batavica: Legend of Garuda, a series of animation shorts created using Blender (and various other 3D tools). At first, this was going to be developed into a game, but with some limitations, I decided to keep it as an animation. I decided to keep it at game-res, to retain the game-like ambience and fast rendering (also limited laptop spec)

The story will have a lot of allusion to my country’s folklore and tales; and for the first short, Timun Mas (Golden Cucumber) and Cindelaras. Of course, keep in mind that these are just allusion; I didn’t want this to be a re-telling of the aforementioned folklores.

My main tool is:
Blender -> setting up the scenes for final render (material, lights, etc), rigging & animating, high poly minor sculpting, minor retopo, creating baking cages, creating UV Map.
ZBrush -> high poly major sculpting
XNormal -> baking high-poly maps
Topogun -> major retopo
Photoshop -> painting textures

Also my source of textures, CGTextures.com

Now on to the images~!

I have previously blogged the developments for each characters on my own personal blog, cekobico.wordpress.com/. Kindly please pay them a visit for individual explanation of how I go on creating each of these :smiley: [click on the thumbnails to go to the respective pages]
