ZBus Base Progress

Finishing up modeling the base. UVs and textures next.

Cake

Really quick and simple cake model and rig for an animation project.

Can't believe how much better this looks with the ground texture.

Cerebus Progress

Finishing up the last bits of the street. After this I will texture the ground and far builds, then model and add a few market stalls.

I feel like every week I work on a new section my texturing skills improve, and I feel like I need to go back and fix stuff from the month before.

Keep needing to resist the urge to make little tweaks to the geo here and there because going back and retexturing/reUVing would take too long. Maybe I'll do some really small stuff that won't effect the UVs too much after I'm done texturing the whole thing. We'll see. I'd like to.

Sketch

Just a quick Wacom sketch to try and stay loose.

Cerebus Progress

Finishing up the geo on the scene. I was hired full time and haven't had as much time to work on this, but it's still coming along. Here's some quick renders and a UV snapshot.

Market and Booth

Finished off the spec and bump mapping on the market booth and blocked in another section of the market square.

Market Stall WIP

Still have to do the bump and spec for the table, but color is just about done.

Alleyway WIP

Finished off modeling the alleyway for Cerebus. Going to clean the topo, UV and texture next.

Texturing WIP

Texturing WIP for the booth concept.

Rough Concept work for Cerebus

Some concept art. The last one goes with the booth I'm currently texturing.

Market Booth

Some WIP.

Fixing Older Stuff

Updating my portfolio -- adding bases, fixing a few things here and there, etc.

CSU Summer Arts 2011 - Gluttire

Oh, yeah, speaking of Gluttire... completely forgot. Here's the animation I did in my two weeks at CSU Summer Arts. The rig is Morpheus Rig v1.0 from Josh Burton's site. I used Toon Boom for the 2D animation, and Liam Wade was kind enough to write music for this piece!

Trying out Toon Boom for the first time since I did Gluttire at CSU Summer arts. Tried my hands at doing a simple walk in place. It's different with a Wacom, but I actually really like working digitally.
