TEXTURING

Having modelled all my assets it's now time to begin texturing. I will post up final texture maps and frequent test renders as I work.

ANOTHER RENDER

Still very much in the Texturing Testing phase!

QUICK RENDER

A quick render of my WIP, this took nearly 2 minutes to render out all the grass. I will need to work on getting this down or consider using the render farm for my finished piece. Having said that the scene is beginning to come together!

UV'ING IS SO MUCH FUN

Retopology done now on to the Laying out of UV's!  This is a careful process of splitting the model into sections that can be easily textures. It's a game of balance as where you put the seams is important. Typically you want the seams somewhere less visible but sometimes this is not always possible.

WORKING ON MY SCENE

Here I begin to put all my assets into one scene to began blocking out the terrain and background habitat in which the rhino will reside.

RHINO COMPLETE

The Rhino is nearly complete all that's left to retopologize is the back legs!

BAOBAB TREE

Using Reference material in the form of endless photos the sculpt of the baobab tree is complete!

BAOBAB TREE

Alongside modelling the main Rhinoceros I have to model a small environment which carefully displays the Rhinoceros habitat. This baobab tree is native to the Rhino region and in this way I will sculpt and then model this tree.

RHINO CONTINUED

This is an example of how i'd like my Rhinoceros to end up once I finish sculpting ... however this is a Javan Rhinoceros and I'm modelling a Black Rhino.
