This is an art test done for a company who are looking to make a feature film. I haven't signed any NDA so I think it should be o.k. to show in my portfolio

I was required to make a greyscale, high frequency sculpture with good animation ready edge looping for the art test. This head was built from scratch in maya, sculpted in ZBrush and UV mapped in a little over 1 (long) working day.]]> Sat, 20 Sep 2008 11:28:38 +0000 MDR_smallShowreel_1stQuarter_2008 http://default-rol.cgsociety.org/gallery/647672

*Please note this demo reel is 8MB in file size and mat take a little while to load on slower connections. Please be patient. thank you.

Demo reel of the 1st Quarter 2008. this is work I have made personally, on the CG society and for professional purposes over the last 12 months.

I am currently in the process of developing a new demo reel so please feel free to check back for that in the future.]]> Sat, 28 Jun 2008 16:59:58 +0000 Florence Academy of Art - Summer course - figure sculpt http://default-rol.cgsociety.org/gallery/658522

I attended the 2008 summer course in figurative sculpture at the Florence Academy of Art. This was done to help further my understanding of figurative model making in order to develop my 3D model making skills further.

Here are images of my studies.]]> Wed, 30 Jul 2008 09:57:20 +0000 Florence Academy of Art - Summer course - bust sculpt http://default-rol.cgsociety.org/gallery/658523

WIP of a new character I'm developing as part of a re-visiting of my Maters degree major project. I'm hoping to develop more of the characters that I identified in spare time over the coming months. But before I can do that I really need to get my finger out and finish up this one first...]]> Fri, 20 Jun 2008 17:58:12 +0000 UNDERWORLD : Dante's L'Inferno http://default-rol.cgsociety.org/gallery/645872

Render test of a displacement map in Mental Ray with Ambient Occlusion.

This is a rapid sketch that started out life as a base mesh modelled in Silo, that was then was scaled and UV'd in Maya, and finally taken in to ZBrush for sculpting. Rendered using Mental Ray inside of Maya with Amb Oc. The occlusion pass is new(ish) to me, so it was also an experiment with settings. ]]> Sun, 10 Feb 2008 18:38:50 +0000 Pipeline test WIP http://default-rol.cgsociety.org/gallery/592327

This is a pipeline test for an prehistoric sea creature. The base mesh was modelled in Silo, then scaled and UV mapped in Maya in under 2 hours. The mesh was then taken in to ZBrush for sculpting which has taken 5 hours to this point, (still WIP.)

I've had to go back to the research phase on the project as I am unsure of final skin textures and general high frequency details for marine reptiles of this period.

Finally 32 bit floating point displacement maps, bump map and cavity maps will be exported for final rendering inside of Mental Ray. ]]> Tue, 05 Feb 2008 19:46:47 +0000 Pipeline test WIP http://default-rol.cgsociety.org/gallery/592329
