First shot at "Mari"

I wanted to learn a texturing program called "Mari," so I modeled a telescope, and went to work. Overall I like the work flow of this software. Check out the turn table. I rendered using V-Ray.

checkFaces.py

This is a very simple script I wrote for Maya. It simply checks objects in the scene for N-gon geometry (polygons with more than 4 sides), or Triangles. Included is a Icon, readme.txt  file (instructions for installing) and python file. Here is what the UI looks like. Enjoy!

Here's a tool I wrote for Maya to create a color map of all the shells in the 0-1 space. This makes it easy in photoshop to tell wich shells belong to which objects as they have the same color. This tool should work with both Mac, and Windows. Included is a movie to get a better idea of how to use this tool. Feel free to leave any feedback. Thanks!

Wanda

Here is a little project done for some buddies of mine, Landis, and Anna Fields! The theme was "Pregnant Alien"...She's an alien fish. I concept modeled in Zbrush, retopoed in TopoGun, and did the final detailing and texturing in Mudbox. I then rendered using V-ray, and touched up using photoshop.....whew.....to many programs.

MORAV

Here is a new model I'm currently finishing up. It's called MORAV, short for Multi - Operational, Robotic, Armored, Vehicle. The idea and design, is by Fon Davis. Check out his website if you have a chance..

New design and props

After talking with a few friends and getting some really great feedback, I’m reimagining certain parts of the tortoise. I’m refining the silhouette a bit more and trying to make him more simplistic in certain areas. I have also added a few more props so you can see where I’m going with this character. He is a traveling tortoise so he’s going to need a ton of stuff (luggage… ext.) on top of his shell.

Latest Touches for the new year

Here is the latest for the new year. I've added a few things to give him a bit more character.
