Dwarf Planets, animated short

Hi. One of the films I worked on this year is finally done.

(after all the technical troubles and errors finally)

The film is animated and rendered in Maya. The whole motivation behind this film was to model a lot of objects and try a lot of funny ideas. I also wanted to try a different rendering engine, V-ray. I will post some production art of the film. Hope you like it.

AFTER the animation was done. 

I used it as a guide for the final rendering.

One of my challenges this year was to make the effect to polygons.

here you see some of the tries.

I wanted to give the objects a paper like look and a stop motion
feel to the animation.

That is why the film runs on 2 frames and has no motion blur.

And Here is the Animatic(story board reel) version of the film. I think it shows my thinking process in the production of this film and also the few changes I made to the final version.

Character Model (collaboration project)

Hi. This is few models I made for a friend of mine, Ivy Flores.

I modeled after some concept art, in Maya and 3D Coat.  

Some Head Sculpts

I have not updated my blog for a long time. I will make more from now.

Here is few head bust sculpture I did for Practice.

Portrate in Zbrush, 3D Coat, and Maya.

This helped me to understand face topology.

Hi. Here is my challenge to do make a cartoon(?) girl model.

Turntable with two poses.

Topology of all the parts.

Basic modeling was done in Maya, all tweaking,

texture painting, and posing in Zbrush.

Zbrush Practice

Hi. Here is another range experiment I did. It is a creature inspired by 

Ant Watkins. All in Zbrush and Photoshop. It was a good practice.

Passes I exported from Zbrush into Photoshop.

As you can see, I am aiming for cartoon looking models.

Here is a "studio 4c" project I did freelance for during the summer.
And it is my first career in Japan.

I did layout for few(10 or so) shots and also some animation.

I learned a lot from the art director Shinji Kimura, and the director Soejima.
Really nice people to work with.

There were no time in the production to adjust the animation timing in the end, but it ended up pretty okay.

Bats! 3D model sheet!

Hi. Here is an experiment of making a character model sheet( lot of poses ) in 3D. I wanted to put every pose in the same statue, and ended up with this.

All in Zbrush from scratch to finish (images composed in Photoshop).

Some composed work of the same sculpture.
