Mercedes Maclaren SLR

I have been hard working on my hard-modelling in Maya to solidify my modelling skills. I decided to model one of my favourite cars.Still lighting the damn thing, which is proving trickier than I had expected. I want the results to look natural yet have lighting streaks which highlights the curvatures of the car and at the same time giving a more dramatic effect to the final image.

Been a while...

I have been away for a while...well just lazy..not dead...not yet. Here's something I have been working on. Getting my animation back up to speed with an 11 Second Club animation. It is for the January 2014 entry. Took a rig from their site called 'Norman' and animated him. Quite Please. Hope you are too. Around two weeks on and off.  

3DSmax

I have began using 3DSmax which seems to be another progra which is quite widely used, so going through tutorials and doing some objects to get a workflow going while learning it. It seems like a very simple software to use compared to that of Maya and also has a much friendlier interface. Picking it up isn't too much of  a problem, just need to become used to controls and where things are -seems the main problem...

More Digital Painting

getting a bit hooked... but have a guess who this may be...

update

nearly there still got lots to do but coming along nicely :)

I'm calling it finished

Digital painting

I have been going back to doing some digital painting, something that I would like to become better at. Drawing on paper is easy enough, drawing on computer is slightly different. One thing that i wouldn't mind doing would be concept art but that's for later here something I'm working on at the moment. Doesn't take too much of a guess to work out who it is, unless you haven't seen the show in which case...shame on you...

Finished... I haven't put all the detail of his clothes in, was a lot of it, but looks good enough, the face is all that matters hehe
