Our final project at SCAD. It took a lot of hard work but thanks to everyone we are able to finally show off our project. I am incredibly proud of everyone who helped to make this vision come true.

A raygun based on a model from Weta Workshop's Saboteur 66 from the Dr.Grordbort lineup.

A chair sculpted in Zbrush and rendered in substance painter.

This hero asset gave me the opportunity to explore asset creation for real time rendering. I created the hero asset with simple box modeling and used normal maps for the high detail patterns.

This was my first experience using the fairly new Redshift software. I created a simple object and used Redshifts’s materials and procedural nodes to build most of the shaders.

A cursed sword wielded by my DnD character.

Another Houdini project, I was able to see how easily Houdini could handle large amounts of geometry. Each blade of grass is roughly 10-12 faces and each rock contains tens of thousands of faces each. The combination of Houdini and Redshift made for quick renders, even with all the polygons.

Using Pixar’s kitchen sink challenge, I textured and lit the entire scene. Using Renderman provided an opportunity to explore with another renderer’s materials. Some of the larger objects were projections painted while the smaller objects were driven using procedural materials.

This was meant for exploring textures within Arnold. I modeled everything and then used materials to tweak subsurface and other attributes in order to best match how the object would look in real life.

I saw Blenders ocean modifier for making large, open oceans and wanted to give it a try. The boat is a benchmark for testing the quality of 3d printers. I have this exact one sitting on my desk now.

Testing some of Blender’s procedural tools and complete pipeline workflow for full CG.

Spoooooooky

Just a still from messing with Blenders smoke systems. Pretty cool.

For this project I hand wrote the rib file read by Renderman using simple geometry to create the teapot. Some textures were referenced in from images to provide further detail.
