I've loved Hot Rod since the Transformers the movie came out in 1986(yes, I'm old). Now, I'm modeling him! I'm going to model him in vehicle form and robot form and, hopefully, transform him. I think I'm off to a good start.

Frankenstein Model

I created the basic mesh in Maya and then took it into Zbrush to finish sculpting and texture. Its part of a project I'm working on with Paul Bermani. We are working together on a gaming piece for our demo reels. I'll be creating other classic monsters for the project too, the Mummy, Dracula, Bride of Frankenstein, Creature from the Black Lagoon, etc.

I thought this was awesome. I wish I had thought of it.

Second Wireframe

I forgot I had to show 2 wireframe shots. Here's number two.

Advanced Texturing and Lighting Project

We have to come up with a landscape or seascape for our midterm project in my Advanced Texture and Lighting class. I came up with a concept drawing that I thought would be interesting to do. I did a day and night version. It was a nice learning experience adjusting the ocean shader and clouds to work properly in the scene.

I also created an expression for the lighthouse light to rotate when animated. All in all, not a bad project completed in a day. Now, I will try something a little different. A more fantastic/fantasy environment. Should be fun.

Nosferatu Painting

The Nosferatu film from 1922 always weirded me out more than the more modern vampires. I wanted to do a quick picture that was an updated version, but had a old black and white film quality about it. I blurred most of the image except the face and hand to help with the focus of the piece and hopefully capture that old movie feel.
