After some weeks of absence I am working on wrapping up the last tasks of Einar. The retopology is finished and the last design sculpts have been completed for baking. Facial shapes and clothing shapes are in full progress and being polished for rigging & shading.
The last couple of weeks I've been working on a mix of hair styling for Einar and detailing the body of the security robot. To test the look and feel of the film (and also eevee) I made a quick and dirty test render of one of the opening shots.
This week I started doing a shading pass on the robot arm. Nothing is quite final yet, but I added the base shading setup, created some tilable textures and utility nodegroups, baked down a bunch of the base maps and started texture painting. There need to be more details and signs of wear/age but it's getting there.
this week i worked on some shots on the sequence 060 fight
This week was mostly about preparing the scrapyard and hut files for shading. Things like removing old models, checking the topology/modifier stack, and eventually unwrapping. And Einar can sit now with this folding chair!
