<< Young Tarzan >>

The Young Tarzan character is probably my most advanced to date.  He is based on Disney’s Tarzan movie and was created completely in Blender 3D, with the exception of the color map which was painted in Gimp.  I say that he is the most advanced character because it was the first time that I had a fully rigged face, softbody hair, and a cloth simulator on the clothes all in one character.  This was my first real attempt at particle hair and I am really happy with the way it came out, with the exception of the weird animation artifacts that can be seen in the walk cycle.  Speaking of the walk cycle, it was certainly a challenge to do a gorilla walk cycle with a human character!

Along with the renders and work in progress shots above I also made a work in progress video showing some additional images.  There is a little bit more information about my process for creating Tarzan in this blog post.

Please let me know what you think of my Young Tarzan or if you wish to take a look at him a bit further.
