Sprout in Sprout in Sprout in Sprout...
This wasn't initially planned at all.. I just wanted to do some shader research in maya for my future projects and commissions, because it's cool (everything you see here is rendered using DirectX11 in real time on GPU)
I had to do a lot of tweaking to it as I was trying to understand HLSL programming... I'm proud of implementing a relief parallax mapping for the eye shader! I wish I knew vector math so I could understand how real game-engine magic happens :{
Anyway, as a trade-of from the frustration and despair I earned because of noob-shader programming I started to make an animation...
In the end I got both things working - animation(though very noobish animation too), and a custom AutodeskUberShader.fx with parallax, more reflection control, and better rimlight...

I'm sorry if a model is a bit cartoony... I was planning to make a regular paint-over for it, never had any animations in mind.. this just happened, i couldn't help myself... I hope you still like it, Sprout ^^ and everybody ^^

And also, THIS IS THE WEIRDEST THING I'VE EVER DONE :} YYAAAY lets party everybody, celebrate!
