Female Styracosaurus

These two beauties were detail sculpted and textured for DinoHunt Films, an independently run project that seeks to employ both practical effects and visual effects to inspire and educate audiences on the day to day struggles of the prehistoric world. After a lull in production, the team is back on track with beautiful animation, great details and even some lit shots!

About the Dinos :
The base mesh for the female Styracosaurus was given to me for detail modeling. I achieved the fine scaling and wrinkle work through a combination of alphas, projections, and of course, the clay brush inside of Zbrush.

The texturing was done inside of mari. I relied heavily on extracted cavity maps, and edge masks to really help me to achieve unique and organic color schemes for the dinos. The colors for them are based off of stylized concept work by DinoHunt Producer Frank Joseph Frelier.

The Shaders for the Dinos were built inside of maya using Vray.
