New trailers

Hey all !
First of all I wish you a very happy new year 2012!
As some may have noticed I’ve updated my resume and my LinkedIn profile with the last movies I’ve worked on at MPC. At the same time trailers of “Prometheus” and “Wrath of the Titans” had been launched a couple of weeks ago. As I’ve worked on both I wanted to share them :

New Job at MPC London

Nicolas LEBLANC — Sat, 13 Aug 2011 17:32:42 +0000

Hey all !
It's been a while without posting …

I started a new job at MPC London 2 months ago in the Asset Department and also moved to UK. It's pretty exciting ! I'm working on big shows with a lot of VFX to do.

I'm trying to work on personnal stuff as soon as possible. I'll try to post some picture soon.

Few WIP renders of my current personnal work.

It's been a while since I've post something….
Here is some renders of my current WIP character. It's Tychus Findlay (one of the main character from Starcraft 2). I've done it with ZBrush and did the retopo with 3D-Coat. I will now transfert it into Maya with displacement and normal map before starting textures (I think I'll try Mari to do so) and shading.
Feel free to leave a comment.

I will also add a new WIP section in the Gallery page where I'll put those images.

Amazing ZBrush 4 Hard Surface Tutorial

Nicolas LEBLANC — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 23:28:55 +0000

Hi all !
I've found this tutorial on http://www.zbruhcentral.com and I would like to share it because I think it gives us a preview of what modeling will be in a near future. It's really a new way to think your model and it's very very interesting. Thanks to Pixolator for those video.
