Here’s a 3d walkthrough of a 360′ cubic fantasy “pocket dimension” concept. Some of the buildings are just blocked out roughly to show their location and general size and shape, since I ran out of time.

The render is also a little sketchy because of time constraints. I didn’t have time to do any compositing, texturing,  or tweaking, so in some parts the light is a little blown out, etc.  I was re-learning camera animation in Modo for this, so some of the frames don’t exactly transition correctly either.  Altogether probably 30 hours concepting, revising, kitbashing, and modeling, 20+ hours of camera rigging, pathing, and animation, and about 150 hours of rendering one basic color pass at 1280×720 with global illumination.

Some frames from a logo animation proof.

I’ve been working on this incense burner thingy for the past couple days. Here is a turntable of the model with basic texturing. I may use it for the center of the courtyard.

This is a turntable render video of one of the statues that go along the ridges on the corners of the roof. It’s probably a little more detailed than it needs to be since they are tiny and will only be seen from a distance. It will have some kind of stone texture in the end.

Completely customized Myspace page for the movie Cartel Crackdown.  At the time when I did this, Myspace was even more of a nightmare to customize, and you had to lay everything out over top of the regular myspace info.  The flash header on this animates in a loop and has an integrated custom video player for playing the movie trailer.  Visit the Cartel Crackdown Myspace

This was a project for a movie called “Cartel Crackdown”.  The director, Steven Carino, provided almost all the graphics, and I put them all together with animation into a Flash site.   Added some little shiny effects and gun sounds and animation.  The site is supposed to have a feel that’s almost like a videogame menu.

Also created voting form which tallies live votes from visitors to the site, possibly effecting the ending of the movie. Visit CartelCrackdown.com

This was a project for which I was sub-contracted to take the logo of Monterey Wine Services and turn it into various themed animations which would demonstrate the different sections of the site.  I was sent the storyboards and then created the guy in 3d, rigged him with a skeleton and skin, and used a vector render to turn the 3d into flat color 2d animations.  Visit Monterey Wine Services Site

A loooong time ago I was sub-contracted to do a model and animation of  Baxter’s Baxject device for their launch presentation.
