Goddess of Thunder (tentative name)

2011-03-30T06:10:00.000-07:00

This year for the Dominance War, my friends at work and I will be supporting the CGHub. I'm trying to do something different this time. I haven't done a lot of hard surface modeling for awhile. You can follow the thread HERE

Duty Calls Sample Works

2011-02-15T20:01:00.000-08:00

You guys may have heard a mock game that’s recently released called Duty Calls. For those who are not familiar with it, it’s basically a parody of Call of Duty games (it's not part of CoD series). The game was developed by Other Ocean Interactive and took 1 1/2 - 2 months to develop. It's really short development time but we managed to deliver it.

PC Arms (modeled, sculpted and textured) - 3 days

Props (modeled, sculpted, textured, rigged and animated) - 1 week

Speed Sculpting - Clint Eastwood Caricature

2011-02-09T18:23:00.000-08:00

Around 1 hr 30 min sculpting. It's loosely based on a drawing that my co-worker, David Boudreau, made. You can check his original drawing here . Not quite happy how it turned out. I'll probably keep working on it.

4-hour sculpt. I always want to make 3D version of him. Maybe I'll make a full figure of him next with the darklings

2010-10-21T22:43:00.000-07:00

My first project after the long slumber (I can't believe it's been a year). It's time to update my blog again. I will only post the final model and render here. Please make sure to check my Work-in-Progress section to see the progress and maybe tips & tricks.

Here's the progress so far (I'm still at blocking in parts).

Primal Carnage - Some Texture Works

2009-12-28T19:54:00.000-08:00

Sorry for the lack of update but I thought I'd share you the upcoming project my friends and I have been working on our spare time (the project was announced recently). I work mainly as Texture Artist on this project. I textured the tyrannosaurus, dilophosaurus, pteranodon, all the weapons and some props in the game. Make sure you all check out the project on the Mod DB and the official website HERE .

Tyrannosaurus (modeled by Henrique Naspolini & rendered in 2008 maya MR)

Old Sniper Rifle (modeled by Sebi Buchwald & captured in Marmoset)

Here's the sneak peak of tyrannosaurus (plus other models) in action.

2009 Comicon Challenge - The Magdalena

2009-07-24T07:27:00.000-07:00

This year I decided to model Magdalena from Witchblade universe. The goal is to make her stylized like in the comics with more superhero body proportion (and to represent Top Cow Comics of course). The full progress can be viewed HERE

The Process

2D Sketch - 1 day

3D Sketch - 4/5 days

I usually start with concept art but this time I decided to jump right into 3D sketch first since I already know what I want to do on the model. But I'll do some sketches later when I'm not too occupied. I spent a lot of time on this stage to make sure that I get the proportion and the look of the character right.

[Update] - High Resolution model (Click to see the full image)

[Update] - Low Resolution Model

Last Update: May 18, 2009

I finally completed my entry for Dominance War 4 on time. Well, not really on time. The server crashed during the last hour and it's down for good few hours because many people tried to submit their work at the same time but they give us 12 hour extension to compensate it.

2008-09-04T02:42:00.000-07:00

New small project I've been working for 5 days (concept - 3D sketch - final texture). It's my entry for modeling competition on GameArtisans.org . It's also another practice before I jump onto bigger project.

[Update Oct 2008] - I was happy to learn I won 3rd place in the competition. Here's the link

[Sculpt] - Psylocke 3D Update Aug 28

2008-08-25T23:40:00.000-07:00

After I submitted my entry for the Pirate Portraits contest I thought I'd continue to work on Psylocke from the last checkpoint. I started to work on the corset and refine the thighs more. You can find the concept here and the 3D sketch here . You can also check my progress on the model here

Time logged in (12 hours = 1 day)
7 Days & 9 hours roughly (Concept -> 3D Sketch -> present)

Show Reel Renders

2008-08-09T00:22:00.001-07:00

It's somewhat a repost but I thought I'd put some of the renders in my reel here to get better look of them (plus the pictures aren't compressed as much). I am responsible for all the character creation and rendering.

Time to put this one to the rest (for now...) and move on the new project. There are some parts that I want to change and add but it's good for now.

Not quite an update. I just posed her and tweak her proportion a bit.
