SHOWREEL

This is my most up to date showreel of professional and personal work.

'KingPin' Bowling Machine Animations

I created a series of animations for an Arcade Bowling Machine called KingPin. These movies attracted new players, notified the player as they progressed, and informed them how to collect their winnings. This is a selection of my personal favourites.

Sculpting & Detailing in ZBrush 3

Here I took a head from a full low poly model I had modeled and textured in Maya 8. As this was my first project in ZBrush 3 I used this as a learning process as well as attempting to produce a higher level of realism than my previous cartoony work. I used many techniques to detail and model the skin defects from alpha masks to a simple add/subract brush with noise applied.

Subaru Impreza using Maya/Mental Ray

This was modeled using curves created from 3 ref images. I used the curves as reference to create simple poly pieces. I then turned these into Sub D surfaces to create tight creases. I then moved back into Polygons for final rendering using Mantal Ray.

'Boss Compact Guitar Effects Pedals' Animated Screensaver

I produced this animation which was then distributed as a screensaver. Boss used this free download to promote their range of 37 compact guitar effects pedals. Each pedal was modeled and textured from 2-3 photos, and each featured pedal segment had to be animated to fit the timing and style of the music.

Stylised 3D Cartoon Car Scene

This was a 2 day personal project. I wanted to concentrate on getting a nice blend between stylised 'wonky' 3D and fairly realistic lighting and shading. This was modeled in Maya and rendered using MentalRay.
