Had a dream last week where I turned on an old TV set and there was some type of UK rock band playing a round banjo shaped guitar with an RAF symbol on the body (guess that’s what made me think UK rock band). Looked interesting so I built it in modo over the weekend.
A little late to jump on the “Tide Pod challenge” but here is my idea for future bad packaging for Tide.
this is a model I built a few years ago. The concept was: what would an iphone look like if it was the shape of a hockey puck. I was testing a new lighting kit so I’ve been going though older projects that I remember being a pain lighting to see how they fare with the new kit. So this is more of an exercise in re-lighting and re-rendered. I also was not happy with previous UI of the device so it’s been modified as well.
My apologies Apple-
I modeled the Danzig skull a few years ago. Had some ideas for a quick 3D sketch/render this evening.
Over the past few months in the Modo forums there have been some incredibly talented artist who have been showing off the new MOP Boolean plugin. Seeing all the cool guns motivated me into joining in on the fun. So I mad this using the MOP Boolean plugin in Modo 11.1 and this is my entry into the MOP Boolean Gun Club.
For this gun the concept was simple. To make a smaller, sleeker, sexier and a little silly looking kind of a futuristic Walther PPK sized gun (granted it looks nothing like the PPK). Something that an assassin could use in say a futuristic Kill Bill 3. The Mood Gun is considerably dangerous yet none lethal. Various setting allow the user to alter or enhance the mood of a subject.
Some nice comments over in reddit’s Imaginary Technology subreddit!
First MOP Booleans experiment. I wanted to see how difficult it would be to create points of articulation on a solid model for 3D printing. Turns out it’s quite simple after you create articulation cut pieces.
Concept of a Scull shaped reel to reel player.
Exploration of depth of field in modo.
My continued attempt at futuristic Art Nouveau
Here is a render from an abstract 3D project I have been working on. I was gunning for a futuristic Art Nouveau style in this project. Hopefully I’ll have a few more up soon. -Modeled and rendered in Modo 801.
This morning I composited the arcade machine into the season one key art of Breaking Bad. All modelling, texturing, compositing and rendering was done in Modo 701 with post work in Photoshop CC.
Here is a simplified work process. After finding a high resolution image of the key art I removed Walt and made other small alterations. Brought the image into Modo and matched the perspective and rendered. The whole process took about 2 hours that’s not including the modeling and texturing of the arcade machine.
Here is a wire frame for people who like to look at such things.
Here is the first set from a series of Hypothetical Arcade Games. It’s still a work in progress but figured some are far enough along to post some renders.
