A while ago I was asked to do some texturing classes at Games Academy in Berlin. I never really thought much about sharing my knowledge with a bunch of strangers, but then again, I like money, and maybe the experience would be rewarding, so I thought I should give it a try.
Last tuesday was my first day.
Since I wasn't really sure about their knowledge of the basics, I decided to do a little unwrapping workshop in my first few lessons. The results were mixed.
However, I didn't want to take any of my old characters and none of the characters I've made at work, so I spent the night before on a new model, which I more or less designed on the fly.



In the end, I wasn't too happy with it, but I was tired and it would do the job.

While unwrapping him with the kids, I came to think that he had some potential, and that I wouldn't abandon him after class. Tonight I woke up at 3am and knew the direction I wanted to take with him. Still WIP, obviously, but I think I like it.
