I admit that when I first watched the initial episodes I was fairly indifferent. Undoubtedly this will lead through to self sacrifice and world saving heroics thrust upon a band of warriors still in the grasp of puberty. The world these characters inhabit is a dangers post mass monster invasion world where only a handful of powerful cities offer a relatively secure life. RWBY has an obvious anime, and JRPG inspiration to its visual style, characters and plot.The cast is composed primarily of female warrior students embarking on a new stage of their life, Studying at the prestigious warrior school, Beacon Academy. This makes RWBY many more times popular than Red Vs Blue Season 11. Whatever the reason, the first RWBY episode has already accumulated 62K Facebook likes recorded on Rooster Teeth’s website and 1.3 million views on YouTube since upload on 25 July (2013). His deviantART profile has over 30000 watchers and his Hailoid (Halo fan animation) and Dead Fantasy videos have grossed millions of views at YouTube and Game. Perhaps bringing more than talent, Oum bought fans. Oum obviously bought a lot to Rooster Teeth, because in 2012 he was given the chance to give his own concept life, as creator and lead animator. This hilarious fight scene clearly shows that by season 8 (2010) RVB had moved out of the Halo game engine. Nailing down exactly when RT moved RVB to Poser is tricky if you aren’t a constant fan (which I’m not), but it would likely be at least since Monty Oum joined the production company in 2010, bringing his serious animation and Poser skills with him. While Red VS Blue began its life as a short collection of Machinima Halo parodies made with the Halo game engines, it has since moved to using Smith Micro’s Poser. Enter Rooster Teeth ProductionsĪt least one addition that can be made to the list here is the extensive use Rooster Teeth Productions (RT) has made of Poser over a number of years for their popular Red VS Blue (RVB) series, and now the hugely popular RWBY (Ruby) anime styled series. The Poser page on Wikipedia offers us some insight into some uses, though they are largely unreferenced and don’t make for hugely inspiring reading if you’re looking for solid professional and creative examples. Most of the apparent professional usage of these programs is well hidden, so we are usually left to take the word of testimonials with a slice of scepticism. Here are some pictures of the character in the show, which has the look I’m trying to nail.It is often part of the marketing pitch that we hear programs like Poser and DAZ Studio are used in professional applications. Thank you for your time if you leave a comment. I’d love to get some more opinions on where the model is so I can start thinking about importing it and the others to source filmmakerĪlso sorry about some of the renders, I’m still new at making them so the angles may be off or the camera might be a bit far from the model. Please don’t hold back with the critique, particularly if its constructive. I’ve made more character models than just hers, but I sort of want to nail the modelling of Ruby’s character model first so I can then make edits and tweaks to it for the other characters. My first post will be on the show’s main character, Ruby Rose. I’ve been making mainly characters and props such as the transforming weapons from the show (mine don’t transform because I haven’t learned animation yet), and environments as well. I wanted to make this thread to start posting pictures of my fanmade models somewhere. Personally I think the main changes are changing the 3D eye to a flatter eye model, where the socket is basically the ‘eye’ and the iris is a 3d object. Recently the show drastically overhauled its artstyle with a switch from Poser to Maya with a new procedural cel-shader being used over what was once just flat color textures, so I’ve been trying to imitate that as much as possible as well. RWBY is a show made by Rooster Teeth that has a very anime-esque artstyle I’ve been trying my absolute hardest toproperly imitate pretty much since about 2 years ago or so. I’ve been making RWBY (And Legend of Korra, Voltron and Steven Universe as well but this is about the RWBY models) character models on and off for a while now, so I figured I’d motivate myself to finally finish these character models by posting this thread for suggestions and critiques on trying to get them as close to the show as possible.
