This is a movie of the process of creating a 3D Hound in 3D from my lecture at the XGDX in 2004. At the lecture, I discussed art asset creation for video games. Hope you like it.

  • I made some planes ...

    I made some planes and "textured" them with my photos. I then applied a material with the "wire" box checked in the material editor to the actual object I was modeling. That way, I could see the image and model in the same viewing mode.

    I took the photos and brought them into 3DS Max and used them behind the wireframes to get the main shapes and structure. :)

  • Oh man, I love ...

    Oh man, I love Hound. Great work, also. I never had the patience to do anything noteworthy in 3D modeling/animation programs, so I can really appreciate the people that do this professionally.

    Just one more thing: Hound shouldn't be scowling. ;D

  • Seriously. Just ...

    Seriously. Just take the G1 designs, give them the Binaltech/Alternator/Masterpiece treatment, beat them up and weather them a little, and THAT is what should be in a live action movie. :P

    Any animations of Hound here?

  • The model was based ...

    The model was based on my Binaltech Hound that I got a few years back. I feel the Binaltech treatments of UPDATING, not COMPLETELY CHANGING the designs was the right direction for bringing our old favorites back to the present day. Hound, Prowl, and of course Optimus Prime have been my all time favorites for over 20 years now. WOW! 20 years! Dang I'm old.
