Finished 3D work for Windows Live characters. Promoting the range of utilities in the Windows Live platform. Modelled animated in Lightwave, rendered in Fprime. The security character was the most interesting to create as it had to have a rotating police light helmet, while not being transparent. This was a great opportunity to create a sub-surface scattering material using Worley Labs G2 plugin.
