WIP: Alien Sculpt

Since working in Zbrush, I have been modeling this Alien.  He is not finished up in the modeling state yet but I will also be painting and poseing this character. I can't wait to finish him!

Updated Phone Enviroment

I re-lit the environment one more time.  Its really difficult trying to keep saturation on metal objects.  But this is what I got so far!

Phone Enviroment

Finally got an environment around my phone!  Still taking suggestions on ways to improve! What do you think?

Barbershop with more textures

Still working on the Barbershop.  I have updated some textures and added a little better lighting but I am still not finished yet.  This will be my quarter long project for computer animation studio so by September it should be looking more like how I imagined.

Base textures on Barbershop

This is an in progress shot of my texturing and lighting for my barbershop so far.  I still need to work out some problems with shadows and adjust more lighting but I got most of my base materials applied and my linear workflow set up. I think that all of these objects are going to need many layers to get them how I would like and next will be bumping them.  Top priority is shadows.

In progress: Barbershop - first materials added

Tese are just come shots of the materials started.  I am really excited to texture the bottles because this is the first time I modeled them for texturing.  The glass, side liquid and the top liquid are all modeled separately to get the correct light and reflection from each part.  I plan to go through now and get some more elaborate textures added. Starting with the floor tiles and moving into details on the chair.  I also plan to do another lighting pass and shadow pass next.

In progress: Barbershop

Currently I have finished modeling my barbershop and have started to texture and light it.  I just finished an amazing internship with Afterglows and hope that more opportunities come along.  As I get the barbershop textured I will keep this updated so stay tuned!

2011

This year was an amazing year! Got some awesome work completed and learned lots more about texturing and lighting. Also got to work with a group of friends on a 2 minute animation called "Cupcakes". Can't wait for what this year will hold and all the experiences and people I will meet with my schooling coming to an end and my dream career beginning!

Salt and Pepper

Today I was focusing on trying to get a handle on texturing. I attempted glass today by creating a set of salt and pepper shakers. After modeling the bottles I started playing around with the type of glass needed to make them look more realistic. Using a mai_material through mental ray I was able to achieve the look I was going for. Then I modeled out the salt and pepper for the bottles for the last touch. I had lots of fun creating these and my hope is to tackle the rest of my scene and achieve the realism that I got with these.

French Phone

This is my Final Gadget render and I feel this it turned out awesome! Got it done early and got extra time to light it. I used only poly modeling and 3 point lighting. Now just to finish the rest of my finals.

Fern- 3D

My first organic model went pretty well and I love how it turned out. Im now working on my French phone and im excited to finish it and make this quarter a strong quarter.
