ROAR!

-Lions

this is probably the longest I spent on one project, it took me the whole day. my first attempt at organic poly modeling on 3ds max and the painting using the render as a reference on photoshop.
need to work on photoshop rendering, and possibly a better computer that can take fur render on 3ds max.

photoshop

-sketch on photoshop

Ahh.. the good old days of sketching.

I used to do alot of character design during college, but never on photoshop.

So I decided to exploit this new medium and attempt sketching and rendering.

The image above is incomplete on purpose. just seeing what photoshop CS4 can do and showing the different stages of my work.

Grass..

-Grass

Heres a bit of experimenting with grass and the environment, also the camera focus and blur if you have noticed.

Initially there are 2 dominant ways to create grass, displacement and plug-ins. I decided to incorporate both methods as they both have different strengths and weaknesses.

The over all result looks better than just haveing one method, but it does take longer to render...

Logo crumble

-Logo Crumble

I rencently discovered this new plug in and its.... AWSOME!!

I couldnt wait to try it out so here it is. its a bit complicated but one you get to know how to use it, its magic.

BOOK

-Animated book

my first 'real' attempt at animation. It wasnt too hard to figure out, but I've always wanted to to somthing like this. like the beginning of SHREK, haha.

This is just the beginning of this project. still trying to figure out what I should put in the book and the scenes after.

-Beer anyone?

ok.. I have been scratching my head and pulling my hair with this project..

been working on and off this for the last month and its not going to improve much more with the skills I currently have so I thought I'd just post it. it was suppose to be a bigger scene but this is just a render of a part of the project.

its a scence of beer pouring out from a bathroom tap.. obviously there was no tutorials for beer so I had to invent a material for it. and yes. Its one material on one object. no layers to reduce processing speed. originally there was a jug of beer and stuff around it but wasn't looking like how I liked it so...

I will definitly come back to this project in the future for improvement.
