Germania Magna

(Time to really post this and get rid of it)

Hello everyone! In this project I wanted to learn a little bit more of rigging and blendshapes, and how to apply them to my work! I love Rammstein and also loved Deutschland, that was directed by Specter Berlin (such a cool dude btw, also check his stuff out!). I never rigged anything before in my life, so I tried to test it out for posing only (it sucks for animating stuff), I just wanted a way to bring a little bit more life to my works.

Loved SHAPES 2.0. Software, amazing!
This project took so much time because my computer broke in the middle of the process. I lost a lot of steam there and didn't wanna see it anymore at some point.

The facial blendshapes were done completely by hand, no scans or anything involved I used Texturing XYZ maps for the face.

A special thanks to Gregory Strangis, such a talented artist and a amazing dude (which makes his arts even better!). He gave me an opportunity to learn from him and I took all of that to my life, I think I can call him a friend!

I also like to thank fellow artist that endured my annoying questions, thanks José Péricles, Cadu Braz, Gregory Strangis, Wesley Schneider, Victor Maiorino, Alan Prado, Adam Spring and Fellipe Beckman. (sorry if I forgot someone!). Really, thank you! Please do check their stuff!
