My 3D Stuff

That looks pretty coul.

So what school are you attending?

[Psychotik]

Inter-Dec College in Montreal. Pretty chill. Our current work stations are in the basement, but next semester it's going to the 8th floor D:

Well I had my texture class today so I worked on my last render even more in photoshop.

Before:


After:

I fixed A LOT. Let's see if anyone can name them all.

The bars look much better now, gives it a bit more realism.
The lighting in general has improved a good amount, and the machine's title block looks proportioned the right way now.

Keep improving it!

Learned the basics of Vray today. Didn't model anything here or worried about the UVs and whatnot. Just getting a hang of Vray materials n stuff. I'm really rushing to finish my final projects due for next week, so I'll post more next week.

VRay is the sexiest engine ever.

Aside from Maxwell.

Lolfurniture. I look forward to seeing what you can learn with this. What are you doing for your final?

That sofa looks really uncomfortable :\

Also I need to learn vray too -.- good luck!

Bus station/terminal thingy. I have to import everything into the game engine, so no vray materials for that.

Woo. First semester is finally over; now I get a chance to sleep. I have three projects to show y'all. First is the big one. This project combined 3 classes in one (3D environment, Texture, and Game Engine). I ran out of time to make better textures, but oh well. Everything you need to know is in the description of the video. Watch it in glorious 720p.

3D animation. All we had to do is animate a character to some audio, minus the lip syncing. I chose a sample from a Venetian Snares song, so you might recognize it. Fun Fact: I was the only one in my class to get to the refining stages of my animation. In glorious 1080p for no reason.

And finally Modeling. We had to take a Pokemon and make it scary looking, so basically creature modeling, low poly of course. This model is actually only 2.1K polys. That's incredibly low poly and has a lot of detail. Normal maps are amazing things. First rotation is without armor and the second is with. I couldn't decide which looked better, so I put both.

Three week break yay.

Necrobump.

Just to fill you guys in on something I'm doing. I'm making a real game with some classmates to sell on iPad, iPhone and iTouch. It's gonna be good. I'm gonna be the lead animator and I'll do a few odd jobs (concept art, level design, etc.). I'm still learning, but I'm pretty good at it.

I hope this statement isn't based on the animation you showed in the previous post...not to put you down in ANY sort of way, because I love seeing aspiring 3D artists here, but you've got a really long way to go.

I recommend studying up on animation techniques, watch some Disney movies, LEARN SECONDARY MOTION PRINCIPLES, they are what drive your characters and is what gives them a believable and lifelike property in motion.

I'm interested in hearing what kind of game you're looking to create though, as I'm beginning to get into iOS development as well.

Oh I'm not basing my "I'm good at it" from that animation. I'm mostly basing it from the fact that I'm the best animator in my class, but everyone has trouble with it, so it doesn't say much. I am planning on learning a lot more. I even got the animator's survival kit (pdf of book and videos). Don't worry, I'm improving. My animation for 1st semester was a real cool guy but never gave much criticism, but my new teacher is a lot better at teaching.

As for the game, it's still a secret for now, but we will be advertising as much as possible at some point. We're still at the early stages so it won't be for a while.
