Sea Dragon

My freshman year at CCAD I did a model of a Sea Dragon but was never really satisfied with it. So, for my first Senior year modeling project I'm remodeling it. Here's a wireframe turntable of it. I still have a few more hours left on it...

Getting ready for senior year!

Hey everyone! Summer is up in 3 weeks and it's back to school. I thought I would let everybody know what I have planned so far for the first semester. Here's a list of classes and some projects that I'm planning on doing.

Computer Animation III&IV - I'm taking these at the same time, III as independent study. I plan on doing more digi-matte work, concentrating on photo-realistic modeling and digital painting.

3D Illustration I - I'm going to be working on miniatures that I plan on shooting and doing some digital compositing work with them. Learning more about traditional use of imaginary sets in film

So that's all for now, I'll be posting more images/comments as I come up with them. It's going to be a great year!!!

Another work in progress - Dark Crystal castle

Digi-matte painting in progress. Still need to add foreground objects, more distant mountains and details to castle. Need to also fix composition, crop bottom up and add space on sides, composition is to crowded right now.

Cityscape digi-matte painting 3/4's done


Here's a rendering of a digi-matte painting I'm doing. It was modeled in 3D with textures/lighting/color done in Photoshop. I have detail work to do on it but the base painting is done. The city is my design based on various cities, mostly Hong Kong, Sydney and a few others.

New 3d Matte Painting project

Here are some screen caps of a project I'm working on. The first image is the camera angle I'll be using in the final painting. I'm having some kind of weird openGL problem but have just accepted it and it doesn't show up in the final renders.
