Hi-Poly, Engage!

2012-01-20T18:39:00.000-08:00

Started my high poly models. I plan to use NDO2 to help with my normals creation. From tutorials I've reviewed, it is recommended that you do your hard edges in your 3d application, and then do the inner details with NDO2. Still a work in progress, C&C welcomed.

Sci-Fi Hallway

2011-12-31T16:19:00.001-08:00

Whoa, it's been a while! A new scene I'm working on, based on a concept piece for Natural Selection (not my concept). My goal is to fit all of my textures in a 1024 sized UV map. Almost done modeling out the meshes, then it's off to hi-poly modeling/baking!

Workbench Set

2011-05-24T17:21:00.000-07:00

A project I worked on in the last few weeks.

Final Pass

2011-03-29T21:25:00.001-07:00

Thanks for all the crits guys, calling this one done. C&C is still welcomed though :)

Right Lane Closed Ahead!

2011-03-28T21:37:00.000-07:00

Finalized textures, adjusted lighting and lightmass settings to get better shadows, images are hi-res tiled shots from UDK. C&C welcomed as always :)

Textures

2011-03-28T02:45:00.000-07:00

Still have some work to do on this; the textures need another pass of details and tweaks, lighting needs to be adjusted. C&C welcomed as always :)

Right Lane Closed Ahead!

2011-03-24T10:38:00.001-07:00

Need to add some props to my portfolio, so a couple of work in progress shots for a mini scene I'm making. I plan on putting it all together in UDK. C&C welcomed :)

Support Pillar Concept

2011-03-19T18:50:00.001-07:00

Here is an update. This is the main stone pillar supporting the mines. Excited for this one, it's the first hero prop I get to model and texture for the project :)

Main Beam Concepts

2011-03-17T23:17:00.000-07:00

So there is a main room with a main support beam, and these are some quick sketches to get some conceptual ideas down.

Poly-Paint Practice

2011-03-10T22:04:00.001-08:00

So I needed to learn and practice poly painting in Z-brush before continuing the Water Hut scene. C-Squared allows me to practice this technique, and it's pretty cool. First pass textures on this little scene for our cell-phone game. More work to do, stay tuned!

Water Hut the Revenge!

2011-02-18T20:37:00.000-08:00

Okay, did some geo work, almost ready get into texturing.

I'm debating if I want to import meshes into ZBrush to polypaint and do some minor normal work, or keep it strictly handpainted textures within Photoshop with just diffuse and spec. I just watched a tutorial and learned how to polypaint, so maybe this could be a good practice scene for that technique.

Any C&C is welcomed, thank you :)

Plant Done

2011-02-16T19:39:00.000-08:00

Final SS's taken with UDK's hi res tildeshot. Thanks to everyone for your critics, I'm moving on to finish the water hut :)

Almost there

2011-02-15T22:35:00.000-08:00

Leaves have been slightly desaturated, added dirt grunge to the inside pot rim, and the green leaves have more variation to them. Changed the platform to tiles to match the concept. I'm going to create a vertex paint material for the tile, I'd like to have some dirty water puddles next to it so it looks like it's been watered recently to add that final touch of polish to the project, then I'm calling it done, over, finite! My water hut has been calling to me :)

Plant Update

2011-02-09T22:32:00.000-08:00

Textures finalized, going to call this finished. Looking for C&C, please and thanks :)

Concept Thumbs

2011-02-09T15:20:00.000-08:00

So me and a couple guys have started work on an iPhone game, exciting! It's going to have gameplay similar to Diablo with an isometric top-down view. The game is being built in Unity, and most of the mechanics are in from what I've been told. I'm responsible for the environments, concept art and 3d assets. I've added a link to our development blog to the right, but here are some ideas I pushed out with my wacom:

2011-01-29T21:23:00.001-08:00

Diffuse worked on some more, created a specular map, and made my first pass normal map. Going to adjust the pot normals to match the photo ref better, but I'm liking the results on the leaves, bamboo, and dirt.

Green Leaves

2011-01-19T23:52:00.000-08:00

Green leaf placement is done, just going to adjust the red leaves a little to fit the silhouette more. Textures and some geo adjustments coming up in the near future!

Update

2011-01-19T20:11:00.000-08:00

Started the green leaf layout, trying to get it as close to the original photos I took of the plant. Taking a quick break then back at it :)

A Side Project

2011-01-19T17:05:00.001-08:00

My buddy Austin made a great foliage tutorial for me, so I wanted to create a prop showing what I learned. Here is my first WIP so far, with reference photo included of one of my mom's potted plants in her yard :)

More WIP's to come soon!

Water Hut Update

2011-01-11T15:36:00.000-08:00

Been slow in progression, but here is an update. Just need to create rope for the top of the hut holding the straw roof together, and some adjustments to geometry to match sillhouette from original concept, then time to texture!

New Project

2010-12-15T10:36:00.001-08:00

Working on a stylized portfolio, starting with a concept piece from Blizzard for a Diablo 3 scene. Here is my WIP so far!

2010-07-27T12:43:00.000-07:00

Prop done! Comments and critiques welcomed, will make adjustments for the main scene this will be going into (Pedastal is just for presentation).

AC Unit Texture WIP's

2010-07-27T03:00:00.001-07:00

Textures! Color, Normal, Spec, Alpha, all sized at 2048 x 2048 for now.

AC Unit WIP's

2010-07-26T22:13:00.000-07:00

Starting on a contemporary scene, warming up with an AC Unit as my first prop. High poly shots followed by low poly shots with my AO/Norm bakes applied. First passes on textures coming up.

2010-05-26T21:41:00.000-07:00

WIP's of my senior projects. Almost done!
