(update) digital portfolio

My main portfolio site has been updated with some new renders in the Game Design Gallery.

The additions are from a 20-hour texturing project that I was involved with last year.

Ultimately, I'd like to build out the scene a bit more, but I present the results as they are to demonstrate my performance at the end of the challenge.

VoZ : Lobby

Two new assets ready for inclusion in the Hero game engine.

These are to be used as portal entrances from the game Lobby to the Arena areas.
Comparison with concept art for each provided.
Textures drawn from a pre-set pool defined for each game area.

Modeling, UV layout and texturing in Maya.

Seattle!

After a long and scenic westward trip, I'm finally in Seattle and setting up shop.

Some images from trip can be found here.

Seattle!

Been a busy few months of plotting, planning and packing!

Will be relocating to the Seattle area on June 1st and should be back up and running (hopefully) by the end of June.

See everyone on the flip side!

FoD : concepts

The only piece of concept artwork available was the three-quarter view presented in the upper left. In order to begin modeling, I had to reverse engineer the other three views from the initial concept.

VoZ : Forest of Decay (props)

An initial, un-textured ~900-tri corpse arm.
The limb is a single piece of geometry.

It had been a while since I did any character-related modeling, so I thought I'd pick up a small task as a refresher.
Ultimately, since these are only going to be background elements, we decided that the parts would be of much lower tri-counts and have a simpler texture.

I have another piece that meets those requirements which I'll display in a subsequent post.

VoZ : Forest of Decay (props)

The roots are around 75 tri's each.
Texture provided by the VoZ Forest of Decay design team standard resource pool.







The trees are between 250 and 400 tri's.
Texture provided by the VoZ Forest of Decay design team standard resource pool.



The rocks are around 100-tri's each.
Texture provided by the VoZ Forest of Decay design team standard resource pool.






All were designed as background elements for the Forest of Decay level board.

VoZ :: Concepts (Light Side Tower)

Two quick concept sketches for the interactive Lobby area for VoZ.
These represent work being done to construct the Light Side Alchemical Academy.
