Instinctive Archery

Models for an iOS game I am working on

Race Craft

WipeOut

Concept sketch I began with.The shape changed quite a bit.

This is a lowpoly model I am working on. It was inspired by the Playstation game WipeOut. The mesh is 990 tris. I think it looks pretty nice with the normal map. Right now I am just working on the textures. I need to dirty it up a little bit. I also want to make and engine on the back. More to come.

Here is the model with the finished textures.

Sunnyside School Park Trash Can

I took my son to Sunnyside School Park (off of Belmont and like 35th I think) I really liked the look of the trash can they had there so I took a bunch of pictures of it and throw it into Recap which created a 3D model of it from there I cleaned up a very high poly model. It had around 1 million tris. I created a low poly mesh from it and then I baked the textures onto the low poly trash can in Mudbox. From there I cleaned up the textures and added the spray painted WAC on the side. The final mesh ended up being 401 faces (756 tris).

This is one of the reference files.

Lowpoly Bust and Pillar

Here is a lowpoly model I made using Maya and Mudbox.

This is what it looks like with an Nvidia Shader.

A closer look at the bust. Totally bustin' out!

Zombie Character

This is a new character I have been working on. My Idea is to create a high detailed mesh in Mudbox and then use some of the tools in 3ds Max to create a new lowpoly mesh then create a normal map for the lowpoly mesh. In the end I hope to have a good looking game model.

Donatello Sketch to Ink

 I started with a really crappy sketch. My intent from the beginning was to concentrate on the inking of the piece. Which is why I didn't spend much time on the sketch. However, the sketch is probably the most import part as it sets you up for the rest of your image. The better the sketch the better the end result.

 After the sketch I did the line work. Everything is flat as the lines are the same thickness throughout.

 Once I had finished the line work I began to block in the shadows and add spots of pure black.

Not quite finished, but I began to add details muscle lines and enhance the shadows. I still need to do the shell and his left arm is not quite done. I was thinking about adding color but I have yet to decide. The more work I put into it the better it looks but it will only look as good as what I started with. The sketch is very important. I gotta keep that in mind for next time.

Game Environment

This is a new project I am working on in Maya. It is a video game model that I am going to be adding more detail to and then lighting and texturing. Once I am done with that I will be bringing it into UDK for testing ingame. Going for a very low poly mesh with high detailed textures which will mainly be created in Mudbox.
