Maya 2012 - MentalRay Diamonds


Hi everyone,

This is test I wanted to try out in Maya, as I wanted to try and create a realsitic ring with a diamond on top as part of one of my university projects. 

This project is still going on as I'm trying to understand how the different settings work, but if you are interested on how I made this please check out the video link below 

thanks

Sculptris/Zbrush Test Sculpt of Toothless (How to Train Your Dragon)


Hi everyone,

This was a quick test sculpt I made in Sculptris/Zbrush 

The overall sculpt isn't very good because it was a test sculpt and I was also using it as a way to familiarize myself with the different controls and brushes in Sculptris/Zbrush

Iron Man Model


Hi everyone,

This is something I made a while back 

I wanted to try and construct an Iron Man Helmet and suit because I was going to try and integrate the suit and helmet with the character Peter Pan from the movie 'Hook'

I wanted to try and rig as well as animate the suit to follow/Track the flying movements of Peter Pan during the flying sequences of the final battle

I'm still constructing the suit but I may drop the idea of integrating it within the shot as most of the quality isn't very good, therefore making it much more difficult to integrate and look right

Nether the less when I have some spare time I would like to try this method out

Borderlands 2 Project - Skagzilla Clay Model

Hey everyone,

This is something I made in my first year of Uni.

The project was to make either a model or a prop that was related to borderlands.

I went through much research for this project and decided to make a model of Skagzilla.

The project took approx 6 weeks to complete. This was due to it being my first ever clay sculpt, that im really proud of.

Please give me feedback and tell me what you think
