The Flash Modeled And Textured

    So, I worked on another character piece since I was already in cartoon mode from doing Patric Star from the Spongebob Squarepants cartoon (in my previous post).  Plus, this is only my second attempt at character creation but, my 1st character with "human like" characteristics. 

    I decided that I would model him in Maya and ZBrush so I could work with ZBrush's new hard surface sculpting brushes and the GoZ functionality which came in useful several times for small adjustments.  I envisioned the process going a bit more smoother but it turn's out that being a "perfectionist" doesn't help when you want something  perfectly smooth.  Especially, when you are pushing and pulling millions of poly faces around! :)~

    All in all the final model came out exactly how I had imagined it!  I couldn't be happier!  Hope you enjoy it as well!

Patrick From Spongebob Squarepants The TV Show; Modeled And Textured

    Thought it was time to expand on my portfolio styling again with this piece.  I was a big fan of Spongebob a couple years ago and thought I would pay homage.

    This is for anyone who has looked at my work and thought I wonder if he could do cartoony? :)  I had a lot of fun doing this piece and it brought back some good memories along the way.  I think I will have to create Spongebob and maybe the Krusty Crab to go along with it.

    Stay "tooned"...ha ;)~

US Army/Navy Chenowth DPV (Desert Patrol Vehicle) Game Model W.I.P

    I am currently in the process of modeling and texturing a DPV, a vehicle that US Forces have used in the field since the Gulf War in 1991.  This model is the preset version DPV formally known as the FAV (Fast Attack Vehicle).  The DPV is manufactured at Chenowth Racing Products, Inc. a company that has been producing this vehicle since it's introduction into the armed forces in 1982 but didn't see action until 9 years later during the Gulf War. The DPV proved to be a vital piece of equipment and since then has never looked back!  There have been several versions produced over the years.  The latest now known as LSV's (Light Strike Vehicle) which looks like a cross between the DPV and a Hummer!  I still think that the DPV is still more bad *ss then the LSV though!  But hey, that's just my opinion. :)

    The following renders are to show you my current model setup at 13,000 Tris.  My target tri count was 13,500.

Hope you enjoy! 

These several renders are of the completed model with and without wire frames.  The next step I have in mind will be to destroy it...

And here is the modeled destroyed after it was hit by a rocket launcher/grenade/landmine I leave that up to your imagination ;)

 

Stay tuned for the textured version...

Back From Vacation!

Hello Peeps!

    Sorry, for such a long delay in posts!  I was away on vacation for the past month!  Yeah, yeah I know what you are thinking... A MONTH!? Dang, I wish I could do that!  Well, if you were freelancing like me at the moment then you could probably do it as well! ;)
    I went back to PA to visit the family which was really nice!  Then on the way back to S.F I stopped off in Vegas to party it up for New Years which was awesome! :)
    Anyway, I am back!  And ready to go!  I will be posting "something" in the next week or so.  I am currently working on a couple of random side gigs and I will have to get back to "it" after I wrap them up!  So, stay tuned!
