I'm trying to keep posting work from various classes that I've completed here at Full Sail, so here is some head sculpts that I worked on while taking Advanced Game Characters. I'm not that into character modeling, but I really had fun sculpting this.

I was finally able to get back on one of the lab desktops here at school to take some screenshots from the game level that I made here at Full Sail. I had the opportunity to work beside some very talented people, and the final product definitely shows. Monique Jachens, Shannon Ashley, and I modeled/textured everything. It was Shannon Ashley lighting skills, and Monique Jachens organic modeling skills that made the level that much better! Thank you guys.

Heres some rendered images of the props that I had to make for my LVL class here.  As following: Log Bench, Clay Bowl, Clay Cup, Stick Hut 1& 2, Organic Lantern, Nest Bed with moss lining, one of my stone rubble variations, and a Organic Tree table.








Here is a material study that I did in one of my Texturing classes here at Full Sail. The project entailed creating a tillable brick, concrete, and asphalt texture. All materials have a Diffuse, Spec, and Normal present. This was actually some really good practice, and one of the more entertaining material studies that I've had yet.

Here are three of my BlockOuts that I'll be improving over the next few months. I choose to model a Barrette 50 Cal., The Commodore movie theater (Located in Virginia), and a Warhammer.  I will be posting updates as I go through the modeling/texturing pipeline.

Here is my sci-fi crate that I textured in TPS. I was trying to make it seem like it was from the game Portal. It was created to either hold the cake, or turrets from the game. I really enjoyed working on this project, because I mixed stylized and photo manipulation forms of texturing.

Here is another first attempt at visual effects. In this assignment we were required to create a soft body simulation. I decided to pretty much melt a guys face off using goals. I actually ended up having six goals all together, because I was trying to compensate for the animation. Not that I thought the animation was bad, but I didn't think that the animation was enough. I originally had a completely different animation for the head, and it made the head swing back and forth. Yet when I pushed forward with the more complex animation the goals would move slower then the actual animation. So I simplified the animation, and I added more goals to compensate. I had fun with this project, and I'm pretty comfortable with how it turned out.

Second project from my visual effects class. The assignment revolved around particle use, and I decided to recreate fire, smoke, and sparks. The sparks seem to not be showing up too well in this video, but that might be an opacity problem. I most likely need to go back, and adjust the ramp so those particles dont die off too early. *I did not model the pistol it was found on t3fdm.com. The model was submitted by 3dregenerator.*

First VEF1 project. Some of the actions are pretty fast, and therefore I still need to retime the video back in Nuke. I still think it came out pretty well for my first attempt at simulations in Maya.

Trying out stylized texturing for the first time, and actually getting pretty familiar with photoshop. Here is my first two projects for TPS. I'm not pleased with the quality of work that I've produced, but I'm seeing my skills improve with every project. 
   Here are a few sculpts that I've been working on, but still need work. I always try to use new tools while sculpting, and I've found the challenge to be so much fun.
