Old Mining House Model

Here's the old mining house that will be a part of a much bigger scene along with the covered wagon model that I previously posted. I love that little out-house :) Much more work to come!!

Covered Wagon - Environment Props

So this is just the first piece of a huge mining camp environment that I'm building based off of one of my professors original sketches. Gonna be a really involved, time consuming, but FUN project!! It's been awhile since I've done a full blown scene like this. More updates to come!

High Noon

Decided to take some more time to texture and render this guy out into a little scene. I rendered two images.. One occlusion, and one with texture, then blended the two and took them into photoshop for final touches. This could be Toy Story part 13. 

Old Cowboy Model

Found this awesome modeling sheet for a cool little cowboy on the internet. Original design and drawing by Luis Arizago Rico.

Grumpy Old Grandpa Model

I found modeling sheets for this fun little character by an unknown artist. I took it into Maya and made a quick model of him. Really fun piece!

Truck Model

 This is a truck design that my professor uses for his photoshop class.. I decided to go ahead and model it in maya and give it a bit of texture. REALLY fun design and project!

Solaris - Fantasy Book Cover Concept

This is a cover art concept for the book Solaris, a story of scientists that hover above a planet made of water with hopes of establishing communication with life that may inhabit it. What they find is that Solaris communicates through a form of telepathy when they start having visions of dreaded moments from their pasts. - Neat concept.

This is a model built using Maya, and matte painted in Photoshop.

Exposed Brain Alien

I sculpted and painted this guy in Zbrush, then Rendered out passes to be composited in Photoshop for the final images. He was my first project in Zbrush.. Kind of reminds me of the Mars Attacks alien.. Maybe Mars Attacks 2013?? 

Title Animation

So this a little video I made for my friend's band. Not an official promo piece (yet), but none the less, I wanted to post it because it's basically my first rendered animation. Every thing textured, lit, and animated in Maya.

Haunted House Textured & Lit

This has been a really fun project! Building a haunted house is something I've wanted to model for quite some time and figured I'd use my winter break to work on it. I had lunch at Dreamworks Animation a couple weeks ago with one of their lead animators. He really inspired me to push to become a specialist with 3D. Working for Dreamworks is my goal, and I'll do whatever it takes to make that happen!

Haunted House model

Built this haunted house in Maya during winter break. I had a lot of fun working on it, it's always nice to step back and create something purely for fun with no deadlines. I included more renders than usual with this one.. It really looks great from every angle.. I included a couple wire frame screen shots from within Maya also.
