Halo Wars

 

Halo Wars was one of the first projects that I worked on at Blur.  I believe that this was around late summer 2007.

I did two characters, Serina's body and the Flood Infection Form.  Serina is this hologram female character.  I modeled the body and my friend Sze Chen did the head.  The Flood Infection Form is this weird squid/insect alien creature. 

The work I did on these characters is somewhat primitive compared to what we do now, but I wanted to include them as a log of my earliest days at the studio. 

Unfortunately I could not find the original sample still images of these characters.  I quickly redid the shaders for VRay and re-rendered them for my site.

These were modeled in 3dsmax and I think we rendered with Brazil back then.  I believe I used ZBrush for sculpting but back then we didn't use displacement rendering so its all bump and normal maps.
