Welcome to the Project

Remember when all Morpheus wore was that gray leotard? Let's get him into something a little more comfortable.

Formal-Super-Spy-but-possibly-just-a-Butler Morphy


So we've got a jacket, formal pants, a tie with a four-in-hand knot and dress shoes. So... possible problems:

1. Will reusing the casual pants look bad with the jacket, etc? Could we copy the casual geo and make some modifications to make them seem more formal and use those in the outfit package? Straighten the pant legs, uncurl the pant leg cuffs, add pocket buttons, etc.

2. Shirt will have to be buttoned all the way up in order for a tie, or bowtie to look properly in place. Will we have the same problem as with the pants?

Modelers, I referenced the style from these suit and shoe sets.
(Take a look at some of the pictures if anything is unclear)

Winchester Prop

Hey guys, just finished up the Winchester, based off of an 1873 short rifle. I made the barrels longer than the reference I worked off of, mostly for aesthetic reasons. I didn't model all of the little metal bits, but I figure a majority of those can be made with textures or are unnecessary for the general idea of the rifle.

MODELING( Marcus Message to riggers and modelers)

-Freeze Transform Everything
-Cut layers down
- Try to match Geo as close as possible to Morphy to reduce skinning issues

Marcus will explain better on Friday.

Draft - Dressing Screen


Modeled this very quickly based on the reference picture attached. Edges have not been beveled or smoothed. Just going for a look and style and something the lighters can work with..

Morphy's Feminine Side- Blouse, Skirt and Flats


It's Business Casual Day for Morphy..Morphia? This outfit is good for work or just a day out downtown. We've got a simple blouse, pencil skirt and black flat shoes. Now the bottom of the shoes don't HAVE to have indentations. I have seen that before so for simplicity's sake we can either have grooved treads or not.

Template Suit


Let's see if I can figure out how to post to this blog....
Alright! Here is his fabulously stylish template suit so we and others can see where stretching occurs, etc. Number squares must be perfect squares as mentioned. Clavicles/shoulderblades, elbows, wrists, knees and ankles need their own small squares/spaces as shown. Front and back colors are opposites divided by the seams down the side. Numbers on front are ODD and numbers on the back are EVEN.
Many thanks to Jayna for providing her concept page to work from!

Cowboy Outfit Model


Got the cowboy outfit model pretty much ready to go, maybe a bit of topology work needs to be done but I tried to be as economical as I could with the poly-count, which is at 4155 for the entire outfit. I added the mustache just for fun, as I know we will probably not include it with the outfit, and I also added spurs to his boots because I thought it was a good touch
