Fridays Progress Shots

Managed to get the sweatshirt texture painted on. Then I started in on a new backpack design. I wasn't feelin' the first backpack built in ZBrush so I spent some time modeling it with more control in Maya. Next was the SOG Machete modeling. Finally with all the pieces within zbrush I can start on doing final texturing and painting. UV's will be next, then Exporting all the maps to get him lookin spiffy within Maya.....Oh yeah and if there is time I will try and model/texture/paint a base for him to be posed on.

citroen materials and lighting

My teacher provided the model. I did the materials and lighting. Decided to do a HDR version as well.

Materials & Lighting Midterm Fall 2009

We had 4 hrs to texture and light this scene in class today. Here's mine. Very happy with the end results!! And a big thank you to Ryan for getting a few road blocks out of my way with this texturing business!!

ruh roh.....someone hasnt posted in weeks!

Ok so I've been busy. So busy I kinda forgot about my 2 post a week goal for this here blog.. Here is the Final Renders for my first project in my Materials & Lighting class. The assignment was to create this scene from a photo reference of this LA train terminal, then light it "Blade Runner" style. No textures or painting or color yet. Just gettin us warmed up. My favorite is the first render with the moody entrance. All rendered in Maya Software except that last one. That was just some fun with Mental Ray. Learned a lot from this project, this class is bad ass!
