New...ish Stuff

It's been awhile, but I finally have something new to show. I've been working on a few things simultaneously and haven't paid much attention at all to this blog. anyways, this is a game character of a German solider of World War 2 era (I know, I know, I totally sold out to what is popular right now in the game world, but hey, I need a better job than what i have). It is a 5000 polygon model, with two 2048x2048 normal maps, two 2048x2048 color maps, a 2048x2048 transparency map, and finally two 512x512 specular maps.

Very Old Sketchbook Stuff To Laugh At!

Well it's been awhile since I posted anything, so since its Halloween, I feel it is appropriate to put up some scary stuff that we all can laugh at! Enjoy!

Next time I'll put up some cool NEW stuff. I promise!

I dig this guy! I was thinking of modeling a full character from this concept.


These are rough concepts for a childrens book I was working on.

Layout 2 Continued...

Here is the final for my portfolio class back in April. It was very unfortunate for me to not have this done in time for Siggraph (which was an awesome experience), but I did get some insight and encouragement from industry professionals, teachers and peers. I now have a better idea of whats to be expected. If you want to see some pics of the event check out my teacher's blog Jeff Jackson at (http://sonjebasa.blogspot.com/) and while your at it check out my school Cogswell Polytechnical College (www.cogswell.edu) which totally represented at the event! Big ups guys! I will definitely try to make it to next years event in New Orleans!



Here is another version with a different font. I believe this was the final version.

Creature for Modeling 3 Final

April 30th: here is a painted version of the model. I'm still trying to work on the lighting a bit because it is blowing out all of the detail.



Well kids I think I'm about due to post something new. This render is a combination of a sea turtle, rhino, and an elephant. i got the idea from a sculpture i did awhile back in Thomas Applegate's (sculpting teacher) class. this is turning out a hell of a lot better than the sculpture did. anyways, got to get back to work and paint this sucker!

later

Layout 2

well folks, i've been working real hard to revamp my demo real for my portfolio class. here's a layout i've cooked up to test out. drop a line and tell me what you think. the models of course arent done but i needed to put something in there.

My Midterm Project for Organic Modeling

This is a render of my midterm project. We were supposed to make a dragon-like creature, but instead i made a pterodactyl. It still needs some work, but I think its coming along quite nicely! I think I'm going to sculpt it more and texture it to finish it.
