New Website / Site Novo

Ok, my website is pretty old now and you may have noticed that I haven't done any new posts for a while. Well that's because I'm working on a new one with the talented folks of AP303, so expect some new stuff in the near future!

Until there, thanks for visiting!

Bulldog from Alex Liki on Vimeo.

This AD was made in a month, so you can imagine how fast everyone had to work. I modeled the dog's head in a week using some pictures taken from the real dog. With the model done I worked on it's UVs and painted the base texture that later was used as a reference for the final one. Working together with the rigging department I did some blendshapes for his facial rigg and some corrective ones so the outline of the model could have a better blending with the real dog's head.

Breakdown: I was responsible for model the dog's head and some blendshapes (like the "smile"). I also did the base texture for him which was used as a template for the final one. He was modeled in Maya using polygons. UVs were done in Headus UV Layout.

Captain from Alex Liki on Vimeo.

The short film "Kauan e a Lenda das Águas - A Amazônia Azul" is the second episode of the series "Kauan e a Lenda das Águas".
This clip show some scenes from the short film "Kauan e a Lenda das Águas - A Amazônia Azul" where the character I modeled (the Captain) appear. This was a very fun project to work. All the pre-production, production and post production was done in just 6 months. Have in mind that this is a 22 minutes short film, so it was a lot of material in a very short period of time. The look of the film was developed in a visual style more suited to children's TV series.
The Captain's concept/model sheet seen above was done by Bruno Monteiro, who was the character designer for the short film.

Breakdown: I did the modeling of the character "CAPTAIN" and some blendshapes required for his facial rigg. All the modeling was done in Maya using polygons. His UVs were done in Headus UV Layout.
