3DG Modeling

Some work from my 3D Modeling class. All created in Maya with Polygons and Mental Ray.

Firefly

Those of you that know me, know that for the past 24 weeks I have done absolutely nothing but work on this film. Honestly, I don't think I could have spent another day working on it. The last 2.5 weeks, I have seen the sun come up every single day and went on avg 30 hours without sleep at a time. Looking back, I never would have thought it possible for me to make a film like this....but here it is! I hope you like it.

Renders!!!

A few renders from Firefly. It's due next week!!!! O_o Still animation to polish and lighting to do, but its coming together!!

It Glows!!!

Here is little Ike's lamp, all textured up and looking pretty. I'm happy with the way it turned out. Its almost time for it to come together!!

And even closer.....

3D Lighting: Composite

A composite of a 3D character in a 2D image. The assignment was to focus on lighting and shadows. Thanks to Dave Suroviec for the character.

Getting close.....

Firefly: Lyca Reel #1 from gunslingers19 on Vimeo.
4 more weeks to go! The end is in sight....I think. Here is my the first lyca reel of my 20-week 2-quarter project, entitled Firefly.

Underwater

I painted this for my little cousin for his Christmas present this year. He's nuts about underwater stuff and fish and marine life, so that's what inspired the theme.

Christmas Cards

Here are some Christmas card/door decorations that I made for my residents before they left for the holidays. I hope the like them.

Advanced Storyboard and Layout

These are the products of my last formal class with Nancy Beiman: Advanced Storyboard and Layout. I'm very much interested in art direction so I enjoyed this class immensely. It was time consuming and a lot of work, but here are my color sketches, storyboards, leveling assignment complete with proper layering and camera directions, tonal background, 2-field pan arranged in the same manner as the leveling assignment, and colored background with a black and white tonal test.

Alternative Frame by Frame

This is the final culmination of the work I have done in a pixelation class I took this fall. Our projects ranged anywhere from stop-motion, time lapse, musical synchronization compositing, and even a mix of live action pixelation and 2-D animated elements. All projects were shot with either a PD-170 or my macbook pro and compiled using Framethief.

Miss Priss

A color card assignment for Storyboard and Layout. We found some inspirational artwork and used the colors to illustrate a scene between an elephant and a mouse.

Presents for People

A friend of mine asked me to draw her a picture to put on her wall, so I did. I forgot to bring my scanner home from school, so I used this opportunity to try my hand at a drawing created completely in photoshop. So here it is....I think I'm mostly done with it anyway......

Flyers for our Glass Gallery Opening

Final Glass Project from Barcelona

For this project, I cut around 24 panes of glass the same dimensions, and drew on them as if I were working on an animation. Also, for the splash and the various parts of the background, I etched in details on different layers so you would get a 3D effect as if the world existed in depth within the glass. The overall effect was very interesting and I'm happy with the way it turned out.
