The character I've been working on this Semester.  Not rigged, just shaders and a quick texture for the hair cards.

robot texturing

It's time to actually texture my robot -- and I still haven't decided what to do with him.  So after hours of playing around, this is all I have.

Back to my Bug...

I've used the same renders of my Beetle model on my demo reel for at least two semesters now, so I've finally forced myself to go back and start fixing up some things.  I put new shaders on it and built new windows.  Later I'll start texturing almost from scratch as I have some more geometry I have to change which means new UVs.  I should probably put a license plate on it again too, I'm not sure when that went missing.

Q5 Demo Reel!

My fifth semester demo reel.  Using Maya, Photoshop, Mudbox, Premiere, and After Effects.  Couldn't choose between songs, so I have both up, with the exact same video.  Still not sure which one works better.

Character Designs!

So here are the three character designs I did this semester.  Well, the coloured pose and 'bio'.

Robot Update

A new render of my robot, getting ready to batch render for my reel.

First Test Render of my Robot

Started posing out my robot, only to discover that I made three mistakes with the skeleton and one bit one with the model.  And here I thought I paid enough attention when I designed it....

Q4 Demo Reel up!

My fourth semester demo reel. Hard to believe I've been at it a year already. Using Maya, a little Mudbox now. Photoshop for textures. Composite the passes (Beauty, Shadow, AO, and Wireframe) in After Effects, cut the reel in Premiere.

Screaming Shaman

Saved off a test render because with his jaw dropped his eyes looked like they were supposed to be like that, they've been bugging me as I haven't gotten to doing any blend shapes or rigging for them yet.

My Bug so far

 

Actually getting somewhere with my textures ... I liked this test render.

A Neglected Alpha Channel

So ... this is the sort of thing that can happen if you use Targa files for texture maps and don't pay attention to your alpha channel.

Ron Burgundy

Did this in about two and a half hours this morning.

Shaman Progress

I'm almost done modeling my first Character, what I'm referring to as my Shaman.

Mudbox

I've been learning to use Mudbox.  Managed this today.
