Ice Elemental

Thu, 25 Jun 2009 17:12:47 +0000

My aim was to create a generic character to be used in detecting various natural elements. All objects where poly modeled in 3ds max and the cave and character were detailed in Zbrush and Vray was used for rendering with some post work done in Photoshop.

Low Poly Hulk model

Tue, 10 Mar 2009 11:25:00 +0000

I decided to turn my Hulk w.i.p into a game model. The base mesh was made in 3dmax detailed in Zbrush. The base texture was poly painted in Zbrush, the modeled was then re topped in 3d max. Normal maps, occlusion maps and so on where generated in Xnormal which turned out to be a great work around to some issues I had with getting normal maps from Zbrush. More texture work was done in Photoshop and rendering was done in 3d max. This being my second game mode and first project using Xnormal I'm very happy with the results, and crits or comments are welcome. Below is a link to a wireframe view.

Futuristic Soldier Game model

Tue, 03 Feb 2009 07:59:01 +0000

This is my first low poly character model a futuristic soldier, I thought I'd try to cross iron man with a gears of war character.
The base meshes were done in 3d max and sculpted in Zbrush. The final poly count comes in at 11,760 tris.

A test run in using my super hero base mesh. This was inspired by some hulk images I saw on zbrushcentral.com.

super hero template

Thu, 13 Nov 2008 19:58:09 +0000

A super hero base sculpt I created to be used in future projects. Base mesh was done in max then taken to zbrush for sculpting and back to max for rendering with vray.

Sitting Toad Rear view

This is a rear view of the toad. I used Photoshop to adjust the levels a little.

Sitting Toad

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 13:21:06 +0000

This image started as a simple scene to display the toad model but quickly turned into a project of it's own. The toad was modeled in 3ds max then detailed and textured in ZBrush. The ground was modeled in 3ds max and the displacement was created using the some height maps created from a bump map that accompanied the texture and using them as masks to detail in ZBrush. The water was modeled in 3ds max and detailed in ZBrush then taken back to 3ds max to touch up the topology. The tree shadow is a plane with a diffuse map and alpha placed above the scene. The rendering was done with VRay and Photoshop was used to adjust the levels and add a slight bloom effect.

Torso

Mon, 25 Aug 2008 17:02:12 +0000

A torso study completed over the weekend. The base mesh was sculpted in 3d studio max the exported to Zbrush for sculpting. A high poly mesh was exported back to 3d studio max with a displacement map for for rendering with V-ray.

Toad

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 23:47:03 +0000

This image was originally inspired by a post on zbrushcentral.com in which someone was modeling a frog. I started with a very simple base mesh in 3d studio max that was exported to zbrush for sculpting and painting. I brought the toad back to max for some renders and decided to make a simple scene. I added a ground plane with a simple rock texture and bump map. I wasn't happy with the look of the ground plane so I took it into zbrush where I used various altered versions of the bump map to mask and model the ground plane. I then exported a higher poly version back to max along with displacement and normal maps. Next I decided to add water to the scene. I used V-ray for rendering.

face plain

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 00:49:30 +0000

This was done for a class I'm taking with Alex Oliver, I'm very pleased with it so I figured I'd post it. It started as a plain then was sculpted into a skull then the face was built over the skull.

This is the skull that was sculpted from a plain. That was used as a base to create the face.

head study

Tue, 17 Jun 2008 22:04:17 +0000

I made made a very basic mesh in max and the rest has been sculpting in zbrush. I'm working on getting the anatomy down then maybe I'll do some renders in max.

dragon bust

Tue, 17 Jun 2008 22:08:22 +0000

I saw an image of a dragon on the net and figured I'd try my hand at making one. I made a basic mesh in max and took it into zbrush for sculpting and texture painting then back to max for rendering.

Dominance War 3 unfinished

Sun, 04 May 2008 13:57:34 +0000

I wasn't able to finish this guy for the dominance war so I decided to use it as a learn process for character creation and learning zbrush. I made a base mesh in max took it into zbrush sculpted it brought it back into max to modify the cage sent it back to zbrush for more scupting /painting and back to max for rendering. I used photoshop to adjust levels for the renders.

frog

Sun, 23 Mar 2008 03:11:33 +0000

This is a work in progress I have created some large rocks to go in the background I plan on doing a tree branch also and I'm going to redo the river bed because this texture doesn't look too go in large renders.

aged head

Sun, 23 Mar 2008 03:01:34 +0000

This started off as the head that comes with zbrush and I wanted to see if I could turn it into an old man. I sort of had a a native american in mind while I was doing this but I didn't use any ref images so it's not exact.

Toyota Tundra comp test

Sun, 23 Mar 2008 02:51:30 +0000

I didn't model the truck I just used it to test out my car materials and test out some ideas I had for compositing.

Velocit�

Fri, 09 Mar 2007 13:26:46 +0000

This is a concept vehicle I've been working on for awhile but the focus was to composite the vehicle into an image. I used 3d studio max 9 and vray as the renderer.

glass of moo on the rocks

Mon, 08 May 2006 12:13:47 +0000

I was playing around with an old scene and decided to make a glass of milk with a vray material.

Glow balls

Fri, 05 May 2006 11:19:21 +0000

This image started as a recreation of jeff pattons glow balls in mental ray. But I got vray a couple of weeks ago and ended with a hdri for reflection and texture and bump map for the ground plane.

I wanted to do something like you might see in a magizine ad or in a mailer from a store. I used a lot of mental ray materials with glass lume for the surfaces, let me know what you think.

rings

Tue, 04 Apr 2006 12:12:15 +0000

I saw a ad for some daniel k rings in a issue of travel and leisure and I thought it would be a good exercise to recreate the rings useing mental ray materials. I used chamfered boxed with ffd boxes for the stones. The ad had a yellow gold ring with yellow diamonds, I chose to go with pink dimonds and rose gold instead. Let me know what you think.

lime drink

Tue, 04 Apr 2006 11:59:22 +0000

I was inspired by another image on the site rendered in vray, I wanted to do something simular in mental ray. I used glass lumes for the ice and lime drink Let me know what you think.

I wanted to make a car that looks like it could be in the same lot with ferraries and salleen S7s and look like it belongs I love making cars and this is the first time I really feel like it's really good I used max 6 to model and render using mental ray and photoshop to composite and layout the seprate images. let me know what you all think.

Supercar Concept

Sat, 23 Apr 2005 15:01:56 +0000

This is a design of a car I made about 2yrs ago and I Wanted to create a scene for the car to be in instead of my normal white background. I used the zdepth render element instead of the mentalrays depth of feild to save time on rendering, I then used photoshop to blur the zdepth for the finished image.

2001 Ferrari Concept

Thu, 29 Sep 2005 18:42:42 +0000

I modeled the car a few months ago for a contest on another site and decided to fool around with giving it a stage, plus I've decided to switch from mental ray to vray for speed so this was really a render setup test. I rendered in max useing vray then switched back to mental ray to make a zdepth pass the put them together in photoshop and added a little noise.
