SAP Center, Aechelon style

This project was done to show what I've learned in my time at Aechelon Technologies. Modeling/UVs were done with Maya, and the textures in Photoshop. The turn around was rendered in Keyshot. Modeling (including LODs) and textures took 12 hours, and is built to real world scale.

Older Student Work Drawing Example

This was done for a class a few years back, I haven't been working traditionally much lately, but my 3D work has changed how I think, so I look forward to the next chance I'll have to work like this again.

Final Turn Arounds

Final Spreads for the Graduation BFA Gallery

My old cake files were all corrupted so starting form scratch I re-did the two or three week project in two days, with much better results! It's unfortunate that I couldn't present more pieces, however I am confident the skills I've gathered thus far and look forward to my future in the film/gaming industry!

Student Project to copy an alumni's art work in 3D, the source artist is Jake Panian

This was created with most modeling done in Maya, the brick details came from zbrush, and everything was textured in Substance Painter. The final image is my model cropped ontop of the reference, there was no post done to the final render, and everything was lit and rendered with Mental Ray. This was a three week project completed while taking four other classes.

Marvelous Designer and Substance Painter practice

A US WWII combat soldier inspired by a classmates concept. This was my first attempt at trying Marvelous Designer and Substance Painter. They worked great and I look forward to utilizing them on my next project.

All part of weekly sculpts for school, modeled in zBrush/Maya and rendered in mental ray in 3 hours.

A chair rendering for banners of an office supply company. I advised for a majority of the modeling process and lit/textured on my own.

Redered scenes for a low poly game pitch book, based on the Brothers Grimm story, the Skillful Borthers. Intedended for another team member to do post touch ups (student work)

Character design, modeling, and texturing was handled by our whole team, I was responsible for rigging, posing, lighting, and rendering, then a team mate was to do a post pass (not shown).

Itermediate Animation Final Reel

Overall this was a fun class, I really got a chance to take the reigns and rely much less on the teacher, I learned how much I need to be working on my own without anyone telling me what to do or checking in on me. (The final shot was without reference)

 Wrapping up sculpting

With such great ambition, said my teacher...only work on the main character's jump..

A few weeks late for some poses...

New poses for jump animation practice.

My side step animation from last week, I think it went pretty well, I'd like to get the left foot to peel better.
