Alien Atrium - Blocking Start

Started to block out some of the structures and lights I'm going to have in the atrium. Modeled in Maya, placed in UDK.

Time is Lacking

Long time no post, I know. Been crazy busy. I had to take on a part time job while working for Nuclei since we are currently unpaid. I'm perfectly fine with that, experience is needed. So working, and then working when I get home, and working working working. Haven't really had the time to jump start the projects I've been wanting to. Hopefully, I'll be able to post some of my work for the game soon, or at least get some personal work done. Tata for now :)

Greetings Strange World!

Well then. Its been a while. First I put a WIP tab on my website cause someone told me to, then a bunch of people advised against it. SO. Here is where I'm going to be posting WIP art.

That being said, I have been crazy busy.Shortly after graduating from Full Sail University I signed on to be an intern to help develop a mobile game for the company Nuclei, INC. I can't show any of THAT work until the game releases so all of that stuff will be going straight to my website and skipping the blog stage. On top of that, the company will be holding an Indie Game summit to promote the game sometime in September, and soon as flyers are done I will be posting them everywhere I can. I will be speaking at the summit about the work I did and my texture process. I'm going have a blast sharing all the knowledge I can.

Other than that, I have also been working a part time job to pay for bills and stuff so I don't have a ton of stuff to post about. I am wanting to work on a bunch of side projects that I would love to put on my demo reel. I have gathered some reference and will be trying to work on a nifty little alien atrium that will be a big atrium that looks like its part of a spaceship and full of alien flora. Here's a start of a plant.



I also have been planning on making a creature(concept by a my good friend) and have been wanting to for a while go through one of my favorite books and make a couple of the characters from it. The Book is called Sabriel and I have always thought it was an awesome concept and would make a killer movie....or trilogy since its a trilogy of books.

I think that's all. Hope to post more soon. :)

GCA Critique Day 01 Screen Captures

Here are some screen shots of my environment thus far, still have a lot of zbrush and texture work to do but its coming along nicely. Time for over drive mode! Wish me luck :)

Continuation of GCA

Sooooo yeah....that church I posted earlier as the start to my project. I scrapped it. I found a much better focal aspect to my graveyard inspired by the Afterglow Vista Mausoleum. So that is what I have been working on this past week on top of game project assets. Below is a screen shot of the start of the graveyard block out. I still have a bunch of assets to place in the scene as well as some possible different lighting going on. Enjoy ^_^

Start to GCA

Here is the start to my Game Cinematic class (GCA). I am doing an old graveyard with a church and some trees in it, and this is the main part of the church. I still have to make the steeple for it and everything but its a start. Modeled in Maya 2009 and has a 188 tri count. Huzzah for low poly models! brought it into zbrush and painted on the bricks, roof tiles, window detail, and the upper trim piece on the roof. Made the textures in Photo Shop CS5 then brought it all into Unreal Development Kit (UDK). Enjoy ^_^

Here is a mock up of all the assets I had a hand in making or completely made for the Dark Brethren side of our map. The only piece I did not model is the huts in the back, and all of the textures are my own. W00t!



And here is a mock up of all the Blessed assets I worked on for the game, excluding the power core. The huts and arched walls were modeled by a fellow team member and all the textures I did. Huzzah!

And now....to place them all in the map...
