In class demo

Here is a sample of a demo I did in class in Designing 3D environments. The topic was form and function. The class seems to be suffering from a bad case of I can't texture. I will go back and add some crack details, faded areas and finish texturing this Neo-Tokyo tid bit in hopes they will understand illustrating textures and editing photos and how to combine that with solid models. I will be making a video for them this week

We shall see how far the rabbit hole goes

First Draft of the Victorian bad guy house thingy- door section

So I started environment production and as well as characters on our first dive into 3D cinematics

I am basing the library on these two concepts. The Green frame is the base

Below you will see the start of the structure. I am alpha mapping many of the cut out details - or at least experimenting with that idea. I may just break down and use the poly creation tool. Keeping it simple



Once I finish the silhouette I will go back and edit it by removing polys that don't help the silhoutte for a quicker render time

NEW character concept art-VANGUARD

So on the road to my cinematic project - I have created the main hero for the piece. Vanguard!!

Here you can see my production notes

New Concept art for Designing 3D environments

This was a quick concept scene I painted...good stuff here. I might tweak it a bit more but I am digging the lighting.

some new sculpts

Check yourself before you wreck yourself!!!! We are on the road this year to NY Comicon. My illustrator is making a Diorama for us to show out our table

Found some old animations

Hey check out some old animations I dug up



First one is an angry ball character walking




Here is a weight study.....I will eventually go a back and edit this one but not a bad start....I think there needs to be a slight displacement in the spine to help this initially with the lift. Need to also fix the pop in the arm a bit....you can see it's just a bit beyond blocking





Here are some Pixel monkeys trapped in my warehouse of art....I did this back in 2000 or so for an old demo reel using 3D studio Max




Here is another Monkey animation shot





Here is one showing a shifting of weight as some one is impatient




This one is called the big idea
Done way back in Maya 1




I will post more as I dig them up

My illustrator is a PIMP

He is making a sweet Sculpt of my characters

check out his progress.....The digital version of the comic will be available this weekend I will post a link here and on face book
