Sea Dragon Model Update

Here's a new version of the sea dragon model.

Cartoon Truck Model

I've just completed this model for a fellow students short film. It's a stylized truck based on concept art provided by the director. Here's a link to a turntable of the model

New Model - Based on Stars Wars droid concept art

Here's a model I've just completed. It was modeled entirely in Maya using polygons. Rendered in Mental Ray. Here is a link to a turntable animation of the model as well.

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!!!

New Project - Arch of Constantine

I'm starting a new modeling/digi-matte project based on The Arch of Constantine. Here's a link to an image of it

I've completed the columns for it and here are some images of them. They are based on Corinthian columns. They were modeled entirely in Maya and rendered in Mental Ray. Comments/suggestions welcome.

Mystic Character Zbrush/Maya WIP

Here is a set of renders of the mystic character I've been working on. I still need to paint some more details but it's about 90% done. Comments/suggestions always encouraged.

Low Poly Model of Dark Crystal Mystic

In progress low-poly model of Mystic character. I'm currently detailing in Zbrush...more to come this week.

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 render

New render of a digi-matte I'm working on. Still needs a lot of work.

more geometry for cityscape 3d matte

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.

Dark Crystal Skeksis Castle

Hey everyone! So I have the first version of my Dark Crystal castle model. I have a turntable animation here below are some stills. This is the first iteration and is a work in progess. Any comments welcome

Digital drawing project

Done in Photoshop, inspired by 18th century artist John Martin.

New drawing

Hand sketched then brought into Photoshop and sketched on more.

Mystic character from movie The Dark Crystal

I've started a new large project and have new images to show. I'm going to be recreating several characters and environments from the movie "The Dark Crystal". This movie has had a huge impact on my life and Brian Froud, the illustrator behind the look of the film, is a true master. So, the first character I'm doing is one of the "good" characters in the film called uR ru or Mystic. I'm doing base modeling in Maya and detail work in Zbrush. Below are images from the my WIP of the head. There will be TONS more to come on this project as things progress. Any comments welcome.

Swoop Stars Wars Speeder Bike

Here are some renderings from a model I built in Maya with NURBS. The concept is based off a vehicle from the Star Wars universe. The enviroment is based off a Stars Wars Factory in Ep.1
