Project info
This is some of the work I did on DreamWorks "Dragons: Riders of Berk" TV Series.
They already previewed episodes 1 and 2 and the series premiere is September 4th on Cartoon Network.
All 3 of the characters that I made came from the original movie "How to Train Your Dragon".
But these characters were made from "Patched NURBS" and were converted to polygons. Because they were patched NURBS first, when you convert them to polys the spans do NOT line up and they're all separate patches of polygons. Plus, they came to us at a "high" poly count and these were going to be made into sub-d's, so we had to remake the characters as a poly cage to be able to turn into a sub-d and we had to UV them.
This is Stormfly.
Started as a Patched NURBS model, then poly model, then brought into modo. When the modeling was done, I took it into ZBrush and made the scales. This render is from modo with normal maps made in ZBrush.
