Since I haven't modeled organic creatures in awhile, I had to re-model the stalker several times until I was satisfied. As they say the third times a charm. I'll finish the legs, hands, and feet this weekend as wells as UV, Texture, and start rigging. Having to revisit my filming ideas since the locations last week were a bust due to poor weather and crap equipment. Gonna focus on a shot with no or little camera movement so there is less match moving. 

Third and final version progress (Edge/Contour Modeling)

Old crap first version (Used Box/Subdivision Mdoeling)

Motion Tracking - Whole Lot of Points

Next week I am hoping for good weather and better luck on finding a good location to shoot in Humboldt. Thus far every other location has been a bust. In preparation for this footage I have been following along with the Infiltrator match mover tutorial, using their footage as a test run. Here's a few pics of where i'm at in the tutorial to get an idea of the process.

More Notes

Another rather boring post, since this week has just been more notes and tutorials.
