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.
