Violin Render

Modeled and rendered Lou's violin. I worked with HDRI Lighting and Final Gather in Mental Ray. Turned out pretty well. Any comments are welcome.

Rigged and Violin

Well, I got Lou rigged. And I modeled a violin here. I was also playing around with post production ideas (hence the film grain). I ran into a bit of a problem, but I think I discovered a makeshift solution. I was actually going to lay all the UVs out by hand, but since my character was already rigged, i wasn't able to mirror them. I decided that was too much to do and I am going to use the pelting tool as it won't matter since i am painting the texture in zbrush. After I get all the UVs laid out, it's time to get into the fun stuff and start to sculpt details into Lou. Also, I am going to start creating some environments.
