My OCD won, I decided to go with the Kenny Baker two legged version of R2 (as used in the scene). You can tell by his split skirt, where Kenny's legs would come through into the feet. #starwars #r2d2 #kennybaker #wip
Was looking maybe at checking out Melania (at the nearest showing), but its looks packed, no way I am sharing a whole showing with one other person... :P #Melania #MelaniaFilm
Did a pass on the Service Corridor, fixed the door details, and lighting - matching the reference shot (below the render window) more closely. Re: the reference shot, you will see the anamorphic squeeze happening (E.g. round doors are not fully round). #StarWars #r2d2 #wip #scifi #Tantive
Revisiting the 2 to 3 leg animation, still lots more little tweaks to do to get a proper feeling of weight in there and stuff. #r2d2 #starwars #insomnia youtu.be/x99qIHyp3go
Time to pull R2 in for his annual MOT, starting off with moving all his shaders to the new OpenPBR material in Arnold. #starwars #R2D2 #wip
THIS!
This is the colour version of the Psycho parody shot I did for #halloween2025 The original I rendered in black and white to match the film. #StarWars #psychomovie #r2d2 #parody #chopper
He was born (created) for this role :P
It's almost Halloween, so will get things kicked off with this year's effort. Happy Halloween all! :) #Halloween #halloween2025 #starwars #alfredhitchcock #psycho1960
Thanks, and me too, it has some great scenes, but overall a dud, such a shame. But, it lives in my nostalgia visits now so gets a rewatch at least once a year :P
Oooh it's nearly Halloween, so here is last years' piece, with a new one incoming :) #halloween #starwars #poltergeist
It wouldnt be the first time they attacked the United States.
Happy you know what, to those that celebrate :) #starwars
Who'd have thought making trash could be so much fun... genuinely. Anyhoo, I updated texture sets, and the shaders. Silent (smelly) corridor (sort of) WIP. 🙂 #starwars
Here is another Halloween piece I did. "Here's Artoooooo!" #starwars #r2d2 #TheShining #Halloween
After I finished this and posted it, I thought of a "better" byline, "It will scare the Deathstar plans out of you!" which bugs me to this day that I did not think of it earlier :P
For those that don't know, I have a history of doing parody pieces involving R2 and his mate R5 :) Another one I did a while back #r2d2 #starwars #poltergeist
And I just realised I never posted the Halloween 2024 parody piece I did. So here you go, better late than never... ;) #R2D2 #Poltergeist #starwars
My obsession with all things corridors (particulary Sci fi ones) continues. Poltergeist III mirrored corridor I did for Halloween '24 (with R2 and his nemesis R5). #poltergeist #corridor
ADD TO CART!
The good news tho (its small but will take it) is they are that obvious that more and more people are noticing.
'Tell a truth behind a bigger lie.' seems to be the way forward.
"Silent Corridors", for this one it will be the aftermath of the Trash Compactor escape, with a dead Dianoga (creature) floating in the water with blaster burns, and out the door you will see the Death Star corridor they escape down. #starwars #wip
Playing around with an idea for a series of corridor shots, post action, or/and the quiet before. Entitled "Silent Corridors" this is a rough test shot of one of the ideas. #starwars #wip
And here we go, the iterative tiny, all so tiny, and you cant notice any bloody changes changes, but its hours of tweaks from me. Still a photo mountains in the background, lining up test ready for a digital painted version that I will eventully get too! #starwars #r2d2 #wip
I comped in a photo of the mountain range, get an idea of framing and where I need to add details when painting them in the final piece. #starwars #r2d2 #wip
No plans to do a real world build, just CG versions of all my favourite droids. And loving seeing what you are doing, looking forward to seeing the two together! :)
lol OK, I gives up, wasnt you was it!? :P
Ok, then Ben Danglish? :)
