First modeling assignment for class: a chair


Barrett M82 with laser, scope and handle. made for a high poly character I'm working on.


Lotus Elise, made as a challenge, the curves on this car are a pain in the butt but when I'm finished it's going to look good. plan on making a photoreal render with it, like an Alex Roman style thing.. once i have time.


Lamborghini Mercilago, my first car. made in first semester for fun. ended up using it in my G4 piece. plan on going back and touching up topology on it since I've gotten a lot better at modeling since i made it.

unbox yourself video competition -Rendering, texturing and lighting



Friend wanted to enter competition, he modeled the box, i rigged it, he animated, i rendered it out and comped it. made it a while ago. comped in AE

G4 TV Spot - Everything




Im very happy with the way this turned out. i mixed some 2d animation in there too! car and tank rendered with MR in maya. 2d work done in Toon Boom and AE. comped in AE. smoke at end made post with particle plugin.

this was made in second semester, looking back there are a lot of things i could improve on now but i think it's still good, especially for how much experience i had when i made it.
