hey one and all of 3DHit

i havent posted much on here as of late, and after a few general nagging requests from some friends and fellow 3Dhitters i caught up with at the st.albans meet up (really great seeing those i did by the way), i have decided to make a post herts work thread. one of the reasons being im always doing stuff in my spare time, and its always great to get some feedback and opinions from everyone also, just so i have atleast another place to have a copy of my stuff while im renovating my ancient website.

what can i say, i kinda missed this place....

for all the new people on here, i graduated from 3D in 2010, and now work at a company called Eurocom making next gen games, i worked on Goldeneye wii as a level artist and prop generator, and have recently just finished "Disney Universe" where i was in charge of my own levels (Lionking elephant graveyard and Monsters Factory floor, 6 levels in total), various level props and general design.

but enough about that, all crits welcome as always and i will hopefully get around to posint some more stuff soon, as i have a load of work in progress stuff.... i work full time, so finishing off projects on the side sometimes has to be put on hold, especially during the last 3 or so months of a project

most of it is generally un-organised, along the theme of "whatever i feel like making today", and this is all stuff done in my spare time, so only a few hours a week or so, especially when i was on disney....

also - i appologise in advance, there is alot of pictures so may take time to load. anyways - heres my stuff.....

a quick note about the game stuff, i usually have to keep a tight poly count at work-work, so ive been a little more liberal with my own stuff to just keep that tiny bit more of quality. i dont see much point in compressing it down and crunching it to hell if im not exactly aiming for a strict deadline for performance issues

1950 american inspired radio


Victorian inspired chair


Fender "world tour" Strat




Ashley Wood "World War Bot" inspired series - "Bertie"





Berties Gun


Aston Martin DBS (made in 3 days) after goldeneye between projects, still very much a wip



any questions please dont hesitate, also im always happy to lend a hand to anyone whos simply curious about some meathods or if i can answer any technical/artistic questions please dont hesitate, either a comment or an personal email... always welcome!

more work on its way.... soon....

Nice
what is the gun meant to be made of? Looks sort of wooden?
I dont know cars but the area arounf the front light looks a little strange
love the first scene of the robot.

hey chaps, thansk for the kind words! appriciate the feedback so far....

i do, i did some print screens of the progress as i was going, they arnt exactly a "how to" but its abit of progression

Awesome stuff. Did you rig that robot in the end?

i did! infact someone from here called Joachim malan was kind enough to assist me, which i am very greatful for, did a great job... currently making a short animation with him and the gun, and another small square thing that jumps and stumbles around like a baby (more ashley wood designs)

however i have to remake this little fella as i had a majour computer death, didnt take long at all though so not too bad such a simple little thing

Nice

its kind of a dull painted metal with bits of the undercoat coming through, however i will agree its abit matte but im still learning VRAY, and i think the position of the lights doesnt help its cause.... its abit of a different creature to mental ray

Very swish indeed, great work Mark

cheers martin much appriciate

although im all gamesy now i still like doing some film/animation stuff, infact a few times ive made/unwrapped/textured the high poly, and then just baked EVERYTHING down to low i.e diffuse ao etc... that way you have 2 shiney finished models instaed of just 1, and i find its more accurate texturing that way too....

anyways, i recieved an email asking to see the back of the radio, so here it be



thanks for the interest...
