Misc. Prop models

Have mostly focused on Prop models for the past few weeks. Just odds and ends I have around the house. Fun to put together things you can actually hold in your hands.

January 2016 Generalist Demo

Cut together a brand new demo reel today. Lord knows I’ll probably end up feeling dissatisfied with it by nightfall but right now? I think it came together nicely. Will hopefully send it out to a few places before the day is done.

But hey, whether or not this takes me anywhere I’m still open for Commissions.

Fall 2015 Generalist Reel

"Hudson" character model/Rig

Character model I whipped up in a few days based off of an old design from school. Took a break between models/textures and rigging but all in all I'd put this at about 4 days work or so.

"Legend of Korra" Animation exercises.

Just some animation practice I got in with my "Legend of Korra" rig. Did the weight lift a few weeks ago, it's far from ready to render but it has it's good qualities. The Jump kick was an experiment for today, still could use some finesse but I think it turned out okay.

.gifs and things!

Just uploading some animation .gifs I had whipped up. You can see that I rigged and have animated the Legend of Korra model I made a while back, and that I created some idle animations for my Pinkerton and Rahne characters. Also featuring a short jump animation.

"Over my Dead Body" a Duneworld collective game.

Thought to share the trailer and a link to "Over My Dead Body" the video game project I've been working on with my game design group "The Duneworld collective" for the past few months. Take a look, we're all pretty proud of it.

New Character Model update:

Been working on this new character model for the past few weeks. I've done a bit more modelling past this since I snipped the image and have begun texturing him. I don't think he's turning out half bad eh?

Render Previews

Some of my latest test renders for two of my final assignments.

My Ranger character aside from lighting is finally in a state of what I would call being "complete" after weeks of revisions from my instructors and peers I think it turned out splendidly. Aside from the mentioned lighting everything here (Model,Rig,Texture) should be an accurate reflection of what he will look like on my upcoming reel.

The El Camino is still a work in progress texture wise but he's coming along nicely.

Made using: Autodesk Maya, Adobe Photoshop, and Z-Brush.

Character Model

Finished and rigged character model I’ve been working on all semester. Still needs driven keys in the hands and the skin weighting could use some work but he’s not bad. Texturing will come next semester.

Done mostly in Autodesk Maya 2013, with the head being made in the latest version of Z-Brush.

Noticed I hve not updated my blog with my most recent playblasts and test renders. In Order: Lip Synch WIP, Robot Idle WIP, Character Model Test Turn table, Test Run cycle, Test walk.

Mass Effect Z-Sculpt Bust

Still working on it! I think I'm going to settle for a bust at the end of the day. The torso is a very rough sculpt with an even rougher texture painted on but I'm still figuring things out with it.

Finished Robot Textures

Three renders of what is for now my "finished" Robot character.

Pinkerton Render

Just took a targa out of an Image sequence I rendered for my next demo reel and thought to share. It does not stand out against black all that well to be honest but Photoshop was being a tool.

Character, model and all textures are Mine.

Done in Autodesk Maya.
