Floradore!

Learning HDRI

This week we learned how to use an HDRI map to create image based lighting.

Sunnnnnnnnn

ALMOST SUMMER!
Olaf would be happy. (:
Made from scratch! Except for the books, flower pattern, and the BG in the render, haha.

Bus Sketches

Some random sketches I do on the bus when I feel like I need a break.
Some of this probably isn't worth much, however, I still feel like sharing. ^^
I spent around one hour and fifty minutes in the morning and at night, and this is partially how I spend my time.
The majority of the time I create assets for a video game project I am working on and on my final project for next year.

The Past Few Weeks

I participated in a few game jams in the past few weeks. Very fun. It feels nice to put your skills to work and see it being used. I'll post updates on this soon.

I also completed a creature bust in ZBrush over the past few weeks. Here is a summary of the work!


Creature bust rotation:

SSS Render

Hello elephants. How do you do?

Wabooses...

3ds Max hair and fur and Vray fur.

Rendering Project

This one took a bit longer than the others but I believe the results made it worth it!

Zbrush Modeling

Zbrush is fun. c:

Plate on a Table

Assignment for lighting and rendering class. Used 3ds max and Vray; models are from here.

M-O from Wall-E

This is my friend M-O from Wall-E (© Disney) whom I modeled in 3ds max and textured and rendered with VRay. He's a good friend. I learned sooooooo much from this project.

Matte Painting

A little environment I came up with and created for Matte Painting class. Here are images of the final piece, the render in 3ds max with lighting and default textures, an ambient occlusion render, and preliminary sketches of the ship design. Modelling in 3ds max, textured (over render) in Photoshop.

Final piece:

Explosions and Space

Here are a few fun things I had to do for my lighting and rendering class. The models were provided by the teacher for the explosion and the spaceship was provided for the space scene.
