second year 3D work

I'm finally posting some school work!

I call this one a futuristic Mayan warrior. I started texturing it the day before it was due. Still turned out alright.





Low-spec lizard. At over 600 tris it's a little more high poly than I was aiming for. It was supposed to be a ZBrush assignment but I don't like ZBrush (pretty sure I failed the assignment).





A Mughal themed level in UE3. I didn't model the arches, but the texturing and everything else is my work. I wanted to avoid some of the trouble of importing models from Maya so it's mostly BSPs. That turned out to have its own issues though. I think my next level will be made primarily in Maya.

more concept art

I'm thinking about going with a more abstract style than the textured/painted look I was originally planning. The graphics would be much easier to make - I could possibly even do all the artwork for an entire game by myself.





The sprites look to be a little too detailed for the environment. Flat colours might be more suitable there instead of the shading.

level

Some screenshots of my unfinished level for intro to games class:

work dump

This is some of the work I did in school this year that I hadn't posted yet. All done in Maya and Photoshop.

Lighting assignment for rendering class:





Coffee cup for rendering class:




Obligatory crate:




My can and logo design for the falcon punch commercial:




Character model for modelling class (textured as a statue):

level concepts updated

I made my level concepts more prettyful:





The graphics in my game might look something like this.

comic

After a solid week of work, I bring you my amazing two page comic spread for rendering class:



I used Maya and Photoshop, with various screentones found on the internets. Models were provided for this assignment. This has got to be the worst way to make a comic. It would have taken me a fraction of the time to just draw it out by hand. The screentoning was fun though.

level concepts

Some really quick concepts for a flash project for school:

i'm not dead

...just really busy with school. This is a screentone test for a two-page comic spread for my rendering class. I'm aiming for a black and white manga style:



(Maya + Photoshop; model provided by the teacher; various screentones found online.)

animusic loop

A looping musical animation:



I was working on this all week - 14 hours straight on Thursday to get it in before the end of the day. It was heavily inspired by the Animusic videos.

Here are some lovely curves:



[edit: made it loop 4 times instead of once]

musical primitives

This is a Maya animation I made for school. I had to animate some primitives to music:

texture

I was given a model to texture in rendering class:



This is my first time texturing a 3D model. It's two 1024x1024 colour maps, spec maps, and bump maps (for a total of 6 images).

I gave her my eye.

old pixel art

Some old sprites for my RPG that never got made:



Some of the pixels were shamelessly ripped from Seiken Densetsu 3 and Chrono Trigger sprites.


Perfect Dark mod for Soldat, Part I:



Part II:



For this mod I also did all the little in-game graphics and ripped the sounds directly out of Perfect Dark using an N64 emulator. The second part was made 2 years after the first part, and was never fully completed.

sprite

Based on the last random face:





The rock tile was inspired by Cave Story.

planets

I made these a long time ago, but I still like them.







I'm pretty sure I used this planet tutorial and this starfield tutorial.
