Stone Wall - 3D Modeling

For the fan project based on Annie and Matt (an animated series concept created by Eliely Silva and Alfredo Ponce de la Cruz), I wanted to recreate a set from the animatic of a music video posted on Youtube.

This setting had some modeling challenges, and the most important one was the stone wall of one of the buildings of the street.

I made several attempts looking for the best solution to create this wall. At the end of the day, I got the best-looking result, adding a Voronoi Texture to the base model, and baking it into an Image.

Then I assigned that texture to a plane that followed the shape of the wall. With the knife tool, I traced the Voronoi polygons, until I got several ngons with the desired pattern.

After that, I reshaped them to have only quads, creating the stone wall.

This may not be the most efficient workflow, but it was the easiest way to get the desired result, and it was a great experience of exploration of different methods.

Rigging Progress - 2022

Since the beginning of my 3D journey, I was always interested in Rigging. My first big achievement (2 years ago) was finishing my first advanced facial rig, with Shape Keys, of a fan-made model of Hiccup (of the movie "How to train your dragon" by Dreamworks Animation), that doesn't represent the quality of work I can deliver today, but was an important part of my growth in 3D knowledge. After that, I worked on more character Rigs that allowed me to make a complete system for a character based on the movie "Soul" by Pixar Animation, with a Joint based facial Rig. And more recently, for the Annie and Matt fan project (created by Eliely Silva and Alfredo Ponce de la Cruz) I worked on a Rig for one of the protagonists, with facial deformations with bendy bones, IK/FK system for limbs (with switch) and spine, and a tail armature, with which I worked on my latest animation.
