Dusted off a zbrush sketch I had lying around and did some extra detailing and polypainting. After that I rendered a few passes with different matcaps and composited the final image.
A warmup exercise, more to come I promise..
Scruffy Santa says Merry Christmas!
I was playing around with sculpting in blender, decided to try out the hair and fur features too.
Well, gotta get going to my aunt’s place for our family gathering. Merry Christmas to all!
I’ve been trying out some new stuff lately.. Had a go at making La Mian (Hand Pulled Noodles).. I was inspired by a great bowl of Pork Rib La Mian I had at Century Square’s basement level last saturday after Forest Adventure.
Sadly, my hand pulled noodles weren’t as pull able as I would have liked, so I had to cut them with a knife (note to self, get a Pasta Machine).
The soup started with chicken bones, dried prawns (Thanks mom, good idea!), garlic and ginger. Shabu-shabu pork slices, prawns and spinach were added to the boiling mixture just before serving. The noodles were kinda weird looking, but the taste was pretty good.. Added some chin chia lok (fermented shrimp) chilli for extra kick and flavour.
Here’s a picture after everyone devoured most of it in a fit of hunger – I managed to remember in time to snap a photo, but all that was left by that time were noodles and spinach. Heh, it was a fun experiment..but that being said.. next time I’m just gonna use instant noodles..
Oh yeah.. and this is what I made today with Blender..
It was a bit of a struggle at first what with the weird UI and all, but for about 6 hours work from installing the program I’m pretty happy with the results. More updates coming soon..
Some street lights to make the square a little less empty. Fast and easy thanks to Zbrush. Ok, off to read my new Kung Fu Panda Art Book now..

It’s been a long time, and I’ve definitely been busy since I last posted. The first version of my showreel is done! The piazza is still not quite ready, so the reel on the whole has more of a zbrush feel to it for the time being.
The completion of my group film Underdweller was a huge relief. I really learnt a lot from the 3 month production and I’d like to thank my group mates Henry, Dian and Eugene for helping it turn out great! It’s not perfect but I’m proud of what we got done in the short time period and in spite of a rather rocky start. Waiting on the sound from our talented sound designer with great anticipation..
1 year has passed since I joined 3dsense, I knew it’d be fast but somehow the time has come even faster than I imagined.. Yeap.. It’s time to get a job..
