    Nice! The company that makes my favorite 3D program modo is using my Sonic Disruptor for its developers page.
    Thanks Luxology!

  • Chick-fil-A Speed Test

    Chick-fil-A render

    I wanted to see how long it would take me to model and texture something random. So I grabbed whatever I could snag on the desk to the left of me without looking. An unused Honey Mustard Sauce pack was what I happened to pick up. After 48 minutes I felt I had something that could pass as useful. My end result is far from perfect but very useful for a prop for a future project. The render here that you see took about 20 minutes I did not include that in my time because that is dependent on computer hardware.

  • Sword of Omens & Claw Shield

    sword of omens and claw shield

    Had some fun building this so I could acclimating myself to some of the new features of 501. You can find the WIP here.
    Even with production sketches it was trickier than I thought it would be to model in 3D, I thought I would knock it out in less than a day.
    Something kind of cool that I noticed while researching this subject is that the show had a heavy art nouveau style to it.
    That was something I was completely unaware of as a youngster and It’s a style I really like as an adult.
    So now I’m wondering if this show had an influence on that?

  • Analog Notebook

    Modeled a notebook that I do the majority of my sketches in. I then decided to play around with modo’s animation tools. Nothing exciting just a notebook spinning around. The top page is a current side project that’s in my current notebook. The concept on the notebook is inspired by an old SNL skit I watched recently.

    Been kind of busy this past month had some free time today to build something in modo. And here are early renders of what i knocked together. I call it the Sonic Disruptor hand cannon. I have some other idea on how to texture this. Hopefully I’ll get around to it sometime this week or next. Also built a new computer over the past couple of weeks and have not moved my texture library over to the new machine. So I used the wallpaper from this site in the texture for the plain that the gun is resting on.
