2012 Demo Reel

Finally done....what a crazy semester! Here is my demo reel, enjoy!

The end of the semester draws near....

Things have been crazy to say the least..between work and school and life, oh and a cold ....that's always fun....

Its been a busy semester and I think I'm gonna come out with at least a good start on a reel.
I didn't get everything on my list done, but the list might of been a bit ambitious to begin with. I already have two models with rigs ready to go for animation and have story boards for two more shorts right now, I also hope to work on some more gaming assets or level design after this semester.
Of course, the real challenge to come is to find a job in the animation or game industry.....

Prepare yourself for massive upload of updates...

Updates

Wow...its been a while...its just been kinda crazy so here is where I am right now...

Flight of the Penguin v2- still rendering out the new footage



Throne Room Model-This is the most recent render, I still have to play with lighting and deal with an odd flickering of the bricks in the window frame

Meanwhile the Ocean and Field environments are "finished" for the time being

I'm also totally redoing a past animation titled Robo-Kitty, I hope to have a 3D animation version with play blast footage soon.

I'm also working on a log cabin environment...

Getting the texture is going to take some doing, I'm experimenting with bump mapping, extruding faces, and individual log meshes

Working on modeling interior furniture for the cabin

Phew... so there is all the updates, feel free to comment and leave suggestions.

Water and Fire

I am currently working on a beach environment scene and learning how to use Maya Ocean.

Also, for a previously done castle throne room scene, I'm adding particle fire for the torches instead of fluid effects.

Flight of the Penguin

I am currently work on refining my animation from 3D animation II.

Here is the original:

And this is with some changes....I have some footage in play blast form right now, because I don't want to re-render until I'm sure I have it way I want since one frame is likely to take 2-3 minutes because of the lighting I used.

Starting Again

As I approach the time where I finally finish my degree program, I decided it was past time to start and keep a blog. I had done this during level design class but it fell by the wayside as classes and life in general got it the way. So this time I plan to keep updating...
My only two classes this semester: visual effects II again (which might as well be independent study this time) and portfolio.
