I really dug the movie Iron Man, and I thought I'd try to model Obadiah Stane. I really would love some great feedback from all you pro modelers out there. I am still fairly new to the 3D world, and, I have decided to specialize in modeling. Please critique my work, and help me get better!!! I used Zbrush and XSI for this bust.]]> Thu, 18 Dec 2008 03:45:39 +0000 http://tcportfolio.cgsociety.org/gallery/645850

This was the image I submited for the Design/Fusion competition. I've always thought that "magic" had a very captivating sense about it, and it intrigued me when I was young. Even though I knew it wasn't real, it gave a feeling of awe and shock when the trick was done. That's why I created this piece. It is mysterious, it is magical. I wanted the colors to give a mysterious feel as well. Hope you like it.]]> Mon, 23 Jun 2008 13:32:11 +0000 http://tcportfolio.cgsociety.org/gallery/708763

This classical man was done entirely in ZBrush. Modeled in about 2 hours. ]]> Wed, 17 Dec 2008 09:42:09 +0000 http://tcportfolio.cgsociety.org/gallery/708790

This was for the Hardcore Modeling Challenge #17. I havn't finished it yet, maybe someday! This model was done completely in XSI so far. Details to come...]]> Wed, 17 Dec 2008 10:26:37 +0000 http://tcportfolio.cgsociety.org/gallery/708788

I used a base mesh in ZBrush and sculpted from there. Brought both models into XSI and pushed some vertices around. Only a couple of hours for each bust. ]]> Wed, 17 Dec 2008 10:20:30 +0000 http://tcportfolio.cgsociety.org/gallery/605734

This is my second entry for the NVArt Competition. I used Softimage/XSI for the modeling, texturing, and lighting of the doors, and I composited the doors onto the nature shot with some added effects. Rendered with mental ray. Comments and critiques are welcome, thanks.]]> Sat, 08 Mar 2008 15:43:40 +0000 http://tcportfolio.cgsociety.org/gallery/639461

This was the image I did for the Alien Relations Uplift Universe competition. The "alien relation" is the aliens being terrified of the innocent harmless toddler. Everything modeled in XSI and rendered with mental ray in XSI. Post work done in After effects. I oringinally used global illumination, but finally ended up with 3 lights without GI and final gathering. I've included some closeups of the original resolution of 2567x3636. ]]> Thu, 05 Jun 2008 15:44:43 +0000 http://tcportfolio.cgsociety.org/gallery/592415

This is a 2.5D composition done entirely with Adobe After Effects 7.0. I was going for a very cold and dark kind of mood. I want the viewer of this piece to ponder why the man is standing in the street in the pouring rain looking up at the tavern. In my opinion the lightning and colors make this piece. Comments and critiques welcome, thanks.]]> Wed, 06 Feb 2008 02:52:50 +0000 http://tcportfolio.cgsociety.org/gallery/611587

The flower and blades of grass were modeled in XSI, and also textured and rendered there with XSI mental ray. Comp'd in After Effects with some added effects. ]]> Fri, 21 Mar 2008 21:38:53 +0000 http://tcportfolio.cgsociety.org/gallery/606689

This was my 3rd entry for the NVArt Competition. I modeled the Columned structure in XSI, and composed it onto the Cliff shot with AE. I blurred the foreground rocks and added some shadows and additional lighting. I only used one point light in XSI for the model. I also blurred the extreme background and added another model. Comments and critiques are requested to see what I need to do to make this piece better!]]> Mon, 10 Mar 2008 16:39:39 +0000
