Spring, 2008, Mesa Community College, Tempe, Arizona:

Gremlin Animation [Click on image to right to see animation] This is the final project for my animation class. The goal was to create a walk cycle. I created my animation in Maya. In order to do it I had to create a skeleton for my model and rig it. Then I used four different cameras to film the animation. The wall has a shatter effect on it so when the fireball hits it physics take over.

My Apartment (Modeled using Autodesk's 3ds Max) This is a model done of the kitchen and dining room of my apartment. It was created in Maya with texturing done in Photoshop. To create this scene I measured the dimensions of everything in my kitchen and drew up diagrams to make sure the scene was built proportionally.

Ready For Christmas The scene was created in Maya. The assignment was to create a character modeled after yourself then create an environment to go along with it. I am still working on creating realistic characters and mine came out looking “toyish.” So I decided that it would work better if I used my character as a toy and created a Christmas scene to go with it. The box that the character is in was textured using Photoshop.

Helicopter Model This model was created primarily using NURBS* (a type of modeling technique - formally "Non Uniform Rational Basis Spline") and was based on a model of an actual remote control helicopter. * Everything on this web page that was not modeled with NURBS was modeled with polygons.

David and His Guitar I have since remade in Maya this high school version of the guitar and amp. The new version will be proportionate and much more photorealistic, illustrating the difference tools and experience can make.	DAZ 3D's Bryce 5

My Guitar (Modeled using Autodesk's 3ds Max) This is a model of my Fender Jag-Stang. A few more textures still need to be added. I also am going to put this piece in a composition, which will have it super imposed and me playing it.
