A New Year

Well its coming up to the start of the new educational year, so I thought why not learn something new, so i've tasked myself with getting to grips with Mudbox. Also i started my placement at Canalside Studios, im almost 3 weeks in now and loving it, each day has its own challenges, which is great!

'Undertown'

Here are some additional renders of my 'Undertown' scene.

3D Scene

Here is a render of a scene I am working on for uni.

Building

Here is an image of what i am working on at the moment. I have had a few re-tries on this especially when it comes to texturing, throughout developing the building (of which there are more this is just the first) i learned the importance of utilising Zero too One texture space to maximise the detail on my textures. The Diffuse texturing was created using Photo shop, I used Crazy Bump for the normal mapping.

3D Pong

Here is a screenshot and a short video of 3D pong i made using XNA 3dsmax and photoshop.

X48

Well this weekend was an interesting one! Me and 4 course mates took part in the microsoft X48 games competition, we were given 48 hours to create a working game to be judged! Here are a few pictures of the event and the game we produced!

Zbrush Normals

This is a prop for a 3D environment i am making. I did all the normal mapping using Zbrush, the diffuse texture was put together in photoshop while the modeling and uv layout was done in 3DS Max.

A random scene

A random scene ive been working on, it depicts the tunnel under wakefield road in Huddersfield. I am just begining texturing it now!

Character

Here is a render of the body i have made for my character, i was going for a simple cartoon style. All i need to do now is sort the edge loops, texture and rig it.... yes... all. Had fun making this one as it didnt throw many problems at me!
