Demo Reel Preview Thing

This is my demo reel preview, youtube made my video shorter by a few seconds but it doesn't really hurt anything so its no big deal. Hopefully its not horrifically bad, so sorry in advance.

Girl Model

I hope to finish this model soon, I fixed her face. I plan to make her ears and hair soon. Hopefully its okay so far.

Face Glasses

This is my character so far I started to make her face but then I got side tracked when I was tweaking her nose and lips, so for now she has a cool mask look going on, or maybe opera glasses even opera goggles. I hope to have her face done soon and then I will begin to texture both of my characters.

New Character

Here is a picture of the character I am working on right now, she was going to be memo but now she is going to be someone different. Please let me know what you think of this model so far and what you think of Victoria.

The bike video

I ended up rendering in 8 bit targa instead of 32 bit so that is why it looks so terrible. I am going to render it again soon. By the way I am working on another character and their face, I am pretty happy with how it is going, once I get more completed on it I will post a picture.

Victoria and her bicycle

Guess what? I found out what the ghost cube was, it was a spot light; I also found out that 8 bit targa is not the same as 32 bit targa so its time to render the bike again but better. Victoria's face is done she is also unwrapped, I will be texturing her soon.

hair today gone tomorrow

I made some hair for Victoria, she will also have stubby little pigtails soon.

bike with spokes

mountain with trees on it

I made this in Vue 8. The dimensions are the way they are because Alan is going to help me fix it later. Basically it is easier to make it this way and then put it as a standard definition later than it is to make it the definition you want in the program (silly Vue).

The new face of Victoria

Victoria has a face now and some clothes.

She still needs hair and the rest of her head and some tweaking, and then to be unwrapped and textured, and given a nice normal map but most of her is in existence now.

This is the bike I am working on, right now it has invisi-wheels.
A fun fact I found out while looking for pictures of this type of bike is that it is called a penny farthing because it looked like a quarter and a penny put together. It is also called a high-wheeler for obvious reasons. This type of bike became popular after the boneshaker (the first type of bike to have pedals) but lost popularity around 1880 once the safety bicycle came out. The safety bike was touted for being a lot safer than the penny farthing, and is very close to the design of bikes we use today.
I can't imagine falling off of a penny farthing, it looks like a long way down.

Udated update

I am working on making her face, its going well in my opinion for my first attempt at a face.

Update

This is another character I have been working on, they should be done soon. Please let me know if she is acceptable so far.

Update Time

Hi again, I am working on these for my demo reel, the unicorn should be done soon, memo I hope will be done soon.

Have a good long weekend.

Happy fun Sunday update

Hi again, I just though I would put up a screen shot of the character I am making her head is still under construction. The character belongs to Miriam and so do the turn-arounds you see in pink, but she is letting me make her character in 3d. I want to see if I can get her head finished soon.

pony

This is what I am making for this week.

I found the picture at this link http://melkatsa.deviantart.com/art/The-Last-Unicorn-16130579

I am not sure how to do the mane but I am sure it will turn out okay.

normal map

I generated a normal map, and an ambient occlusion map the other day just thought I would show you. I put the ambient occlusion map over the texture map

demo reel stuff

These are some of the things I am working on for my demo reel none of them are done yet, I just added the watermelon helicopter because it was cute but its not going on my demo reel.
