Decided to redo a simple bathroom scene I created months ago to test out the Vray materials and lighting more. Also tried how vrayfur is done to create carpet rugs, still needs some work
I recently built a new computer suitable for my 3D workspace and that will enable me to start working with Vray. Been practicing on how to achieve good studio lighting and learned some of the material and rendering settings, its a challenging step from when i used mental ray
Must remember to update here with my studies finished and all 😛
Steampunk is one of the genres I am most captivated by its fusion elements of sci-fi, fantasy victorian style, history and culture so I decided for fun to model a pair of steampunk goggles
Here are some in-progress screen captures and rough renders of a the geometry so far, goggles concept by Oscar Cafaro
Here are the models did for my animation team in the 24hr challenge. The theme was “Forgotten heroes” and our team was given the hero Flash Thompson as the project. As the assigned modeler for the team, I did 3 retro style sci-fi guns that resembled the theme and genre of the Flash Thompson franchise. Very simple geometry in 3DS Max, it took abour 3-4 hours. I need to get more faster in my workflow
Here are sketches of how i would like to arrange my booth for the portfolio show. I hope to have 2 tall vertical banners on each side showcasing two of my work with my name and job title printed either top or below. I’m also deciding wither or not to include either a horizontal banner with my name, or a table top cloth printing with my name and logo.
What will be on my table with be either a tv or computer screen playing a loop of mt demo reel, a laptop where people can browse my website. I will also display my portfolio bound book on a table stand to show vertically and place my business card and leave behinds.
Made some minor edits to my business cardsuch as the logo size and text adjustments
Here is what the previous layout of my card looked before: https://vaneesesmart.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/business-card.jpg
Also did a quick alternative to see which one will look better. The back side of the business card will remain the same
Here is a recent draft of my Demo Reel. There will be some changes to the content of work later on.
Like the venice scene needs more work
This is too all the Spaceballs Fans 🙂
Design Ideas for my Demo Reel DVD Cover and Disc Design.
The back cover will feature a shot list of my 3d work in the demo reel. I’m deciding on either to place a rendered image of one of my best work on the front cover or it will be just my name title. If I am to choose the front cover image design, ill make a better composition of my 3d model that would best suit for the DVD cover.
