russian jet

Here I have rebuilt a russian jet. I am still adding stuff such as textures and shaders

a dude

I thought that having not updated my blog it was time to post something. As far as my other models I have already built another jet, a Russian Tupelov jet, the same one I had almost finished building. The reason for this is that I had lost everything on my portable hard drive. Yes, that is right. The only solution is to do it again, but this time better. Believe me it is a pain. Lession learned. BACK UP YOUR STUFF(no matter how many copies you need just do it. It's worth it). However, it was during the process that I was backing up my 3d stuff that it happened. On the the brighter side of things I have decided to post a render of a dude I have been working on for a client. So here it is. There are still changes to be done on this model.

Eppstein Railway Station

Here is a German railway station I have started to build.

I have unfortuneatley not been able to access my recent Tupelov plane model and my massive texture library on my portable hardrive.

Not really wanting to give it up. In the mean time I have had the inspiration to build this model. Hopefully I can finish it.

Tu-154

I thought I was done building this plane. Well, not quite. None the less it is looking even better.

update

An avatar I drew for my grad page. I always had yogurt for lunch.

However, I was able to go a Lecture through Sigraph Vancouver. The lecture was the art of Sig Mead. At the age of 75 and still producing art work and Designs. Sig has been working since the sixties.

Just last week I saw another lecture, but this time it was the director of Antz and Over the Hedge.

Air France

these are pics I have got so far. Still adjusting it .. I know I have added several pics. I wanted to show my progress.

fixed the cockpit of Boeing

Here is another shot. Bigger Jpeg this time. BNow I have to texture the engine, Wing and landing gear.

Since building this model I was inspired to put it into an inviroment. Perhaps an Airport hanger with machinary and other vehicles. last would be to light it.

I say it always helpes when you have inspiration.

The first pic is from before. I just wanted to show one form before the texture ad one form after( that contains a shader).

Boeing 737-300

Here I have just finished modeling the plane and am beginning to texture it. getting the materials to works. 1st test. just practice

more Plane

Beginning to texture. Need to find pics of wheels for reference. Here is what I got. My Daily Update.

Boeing Model

A quick build. Modeled in 1 day. Some idea poped up in my mind. I figure I could model this in quickly. I first thought I would only model a jet engine. Why? I needed a break from working on my other projects. Eventually it turned into something more. I figure I will texture it and get what I can in two days.

Rendering practice

Still Working on it.

still working on

this is what I am still working on. I haven't made any posts recently. What I have planned for my Opera House is to fix textures, Lighting and the shot or cmaera angle.

For my Opera Singer I have since changed the costume and fixed the hair. Afro hair is certainly hard to produce.

hairToday isn't going so well

Yep. My hy hair in XSI is getting pretty interesting. Trying to model afro hair. It's a stlye that isn't done too often. However, my knowledge isn't as vast as it is in maya. I thinking that I might just stick to Maya and modeling some sphere in Z Brush. Here is some quick model in both maya and XSI.

Opera Woman

Getting to be done soon. I should have created another light. Tomorrow I will focus on that. Rigging is next, so no more T-pose. oh yeah. I must not forget my specular map.

Curtain oh yeah

Texturing curtains for my Opera House. I feel they look alot like curtians from a movie house and not from an Opera House.

Opera House 2

this is what i am working on

Opera House

This is the beginning of my Opera House.

Badda Bing - Badda Boom.

Can't stop working on this model. I need to start texturing her.

Negative

As of today I am no longer making any negative comments about my sketches and models I post.

Opera Costume

I am adding clothes to her. Getting the Basic Shape.

Opera Update

I have again updated my woman.

Opera Singer

Update

Opera Singer

A hopefully soon to be Opera Singer.

plane

This is an actual model plane. Known As the Goblin Parasite. It never served any airforce. All aircraft were with US marking. I however decided to give it Belgian markings.

I didn't smooth out the model. I didn't spend much time texturing. You can see how it dosen't match up. I needed to give it something.
