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.
