Rigging a sculpt I made in record time!

I can't believe I thought I could just Blender my way through a career, and that I almost *did*

Texture painted a mesh provided by my instructor

Sculpting George Jetson's head for the horror game i'm making. (ZBrushes "auto smooth camera" is so dorky I love it)

[3d-crumbles]

Rough concept art for my current assignment, this is Rosie from the Jetsons paired with the theme of "leviathan horror"

3D modeled Exquisite Corpse

Gathered my classmates together to do something over winter break, there is a minor language barrier when it comes to communicating over text across the world to people who's first language typically wasn't English, so I drafted up the idea in image form. This allowed people to understand what the game was at first glance, 2 weeks later we got this little fella. (mine was his left leg) Rules were really simple, I didn't want to overwhelm people on their break, I wanted people to be able to submit their limb with little to no pressure so the rules were as follows: 1.) model will be placed as is, no adjustments will be made from the "stitcher" other than size (which is good because only two people modeled to scale) 2.) no poly budget 3.) deadline is before the end of 2022 I think the flexibility I gave the group allowed them to finish before the break ended, if I had included UV unwrapping, texturing, and shading this would have most likely combusted despite two weeks being plenty of time to create one limb, after all who wants to work on a break?

Made the texturing and materials in Substance Painter, rendered in Marmoset toolbag 3.

Amy Winehouse likeness practice I promise my workflow has improved since this.

Blade and Soul enemy model remake to be more accurate to the original concept art.

Was tasked to animate a run cycle with this Tom rig for school, snagged some stills from his run from the show and made a little guide to reference.

School assignment, happy with that knight.

A rough animation block out for one of the first 3D animations I ever made, it was going to be a short surrealist horror-comedy called "FunBox". It had a confusing plot with no real hook other than the talent working on it, which was me and a couple of buddies laughing as I animated one of my models graphically and violently being flung into a wall.

For some bizarre reason I thought making a stylistic 1:1 Zenith Television would be *the portfolio piece* that would help get me a job. It hasn't, yet.

This robot was based off of a song by Paul Leary called "Born Stupid", the plan was to have many different stupid looking robots singing together in a broken down ship while humans laughed and threw beer bottles. This rig was made entirely with Photoshop CS6, Blender, and photos I took with my phone, so things took a lot longer than they do now with my fancy new tools and resources. For now this goes into the freezer. (oh, and merry christmas)

Needed some graffiti for a game's level, figured the best way to make the very specific look that a can of paint gives you was to simulate it with a VR Game. Reminded me why I liked using stencils better...
