In the not-so-distant future, we face an unsurmountable foe. Popular idea, but always good fun!
Most of the time was spent on designing and modeling the alien invasion ship. Everything except for the background stars was modelled and rendered in Maya with a bit of compositing in Photoshop.]]> Tue, 08 May 2007 04:37:15 +0000 http://merbar.cgsociety.org/gallery/493916

A fun project I started to balance all the technical modeling I did lately. Elf girl and the rock she's standing on are all CG while the background is comprised of several photoshopped images.

Modeling was done in Maya and the hair is Shave and a Haircut. Everything was rendered in MentalRay except for the staff's light fog, which, for the simplicity of setting it up, is Maya Software.]]> Tue, 26 Dec 2006 14:45:51 +0000 http://merbar.cgsociety.org/gallery/444539

Hull for the 1905 russian Borodino-class battleship. Work included lots of research to avoid inaccuracies. One challenge here was to make it fit seamlessly with the remaining parts of the upper decks that were delivered by other people.]]> Tue, 26 Dec 2006 14:53:11 +0000 http://merbar.cgsociety.org/gallery/444541

The Borodino fully assembled/textured and in action. Aside from modeling the hull, I did the scene setup and animation (not much of that to see here, though ).]]> Tue, 26 Dec 2006 14:57:20 +0000 http://merbar.cgsociety.org/gallery/444543

Two guys I made for a short animation. Lots of Maya Fur over a very simple mesh. Meant to look their best from much further away, but they're fun ]]> Tue, 26 Dec 2006 15:02:29 +0000 http://merbar.cgsociety.org/gallery/444546

Relatively low-poly tank with roughed in textures for a schematic-style animation. The wheels/tread are more detailed (and fully rigged) since there was a possibility that they would move.]]> Tue, 26 Dec 2006 15:08:02 +0000
