Hey everyone! It's been a long minute since I been on here posting work, but wanted to let you guys know that I am still around and doing projects. At the bottom you will see the low poly animations  that I worked on a long while ago. Hope you enjoy them and stay tuned for more work that  I am doing. Leave comments on what you like or don't like, and as always, create great art!

Zbrush ( Jay-Z sculpt)

What's up everybody!  As of recently I been really getting into Zbrush.  It's something that I wanted to learn  for a long time since it is for one, a standard in the entertainment industry. It also  allows me to be as creative as I want to be without  all the technical nonsense that comes with 3D modeling. Since I have a background in  traditional art, getting into Zbrush  was not as hard as I expected it to be.

 It was a challenge to learn  the interface at first and certain tricks, but as I continue to practice the easier it has become.  This is the first model I have done in Zbrush and still working on now.  It  started out as a random character and eventually it became to look a lot like the rapper Jay-Z (laughs).

That was not meant to happen, but I did not want to delete either so I kept it. I came to the decision of making a caricature version of Jay-Z be one of my first models. Depending how well this turns out I might do more caricature work. My goal this year is to become really good in Zbrush and be recognized as one of the new up and coming Zbrush artist as well.

I really enjoy the software and can't wait to show more on what I have plan  to do in it. Have a great weekend and stay being creative!

Low Poly Exercises #3 ( Sky Island Exercise)

What's going on folks!  This is my latest  low poly exercise assignment I have done. This is a sky island. This exercise was a joy to do as it gave me ideas on what I implement  on project ideas.

I really liked how this one turn out. This one I did not animate as it is just a still image. The next piece I will be doing though will be a animated low poly character.

This gives the chance to do some character animation even if the model is simple. It will all pay off in the long run as I am learning from each and every one of these exercises. Eventually I will move on from these and really get into cool stuff  in the near future so stay tune for that.

As always leave comments or questions! Would like to know what others think  on the pieces I have shown this far. Have a great weekend and stay being creative!

Low Poly Exercise #2 (Boat Animation)

Hey folks! This is the second exercise that I did. This one was similar to lighthouse one except the boat is animated  and interacts with the water, which was very valuable to learn to do.  As like with the lighthouse exercise, I will upload the full animated version of the boat animation.  

The pics at the bottom are the screenshots of the process. Similar to the lighthouse exercise, the beginning stage was modeling out the scene. The final stage was doing the lighting, texturing, and animating.  The most challenging thing was making the boat  interact with the water, but it was a great payoff.  With that said, please leave comments or ask questions. Do both!  Have a great weekend and stay being creative!

Low Poly Exercise #1 (Lighthouse Exercise)

Hello guys! As I said I would, this is the first post of the low poly exercise I have done. These are the screenshots of it while I was working on it the beginning stages such as modeling, to the final stages that has texturing, lighting, and animating.

This was very simple and fun to do as I learned some neat tricks that can go with other projects.  The cool thing about low poly is that  this gives me the time to experiment with other things such as lighting or dynamics etc to get better at my craft. As always leave a comment or ask questions. Have a great weekend.

Low Poly Exercises

Hey all! It's been a minute  since I posted anything and I apologize for that and  will  do better.  With that being said, I  am still doing 3D work and recently I have been doing weekly projects for myself.
The projects are  Low Poly exercises.  I been  very interested in doing low poly works for a long time. It's really fun, creative, and experimental.

I been doing exercises for the past 3 weeks or so  and will be posting them.  Some are stills and others are fully animated. My goal is after doing a few of these exercises is to make my own personal low poly projects  and create stories out of them. Should be great fun! With that said,  have a great day, and be creative!

F.A.N.S. (Update#2)

Just wanted to let folks know that I know I said the updated version of the F.A.N.S teaser would be by now but like a lot of things, life can get in the way.  

With that said you will the update teaser tomorrow in the quality it was made in so stay tuned for that.  Have a good day everybody and go  be creative! 

F.A.N.S. Teaser (Update)

This is just an update to let folks know that there will be an updated version of  the teaser.  I did the teaser in HD and it is not showing up like that on YouTube. That will be fix by today. I made it  in high quality and want folks to see it in high quality. 

Second, the teaser has been updated to say  'Fear All Nerds Syndrome' not  'Fear All Nerd Syndrome' anymore. This makes more sense for the title  and you see that  today as well. So stay tune on that folks. Have a good day and be creative!

Personal Project: F.A.N.S. (Breakdown)

This is the breakdown of  my  personal project F.A.N.S. teaser trailer that I made.  The first thing I did was to find the right font that fit for the idea I had  for the teaser  and help get the message across as a whole.  After searching I came across the one  I needed. The font used is called Cracked Babies, which works really well for what I was going  for.

     

The next thing  I did after getting the font I wanted, was  to give it the right feel to it. I did that by putting it in the 3D software Cinema 4D  and adding in  spot lights to give it a certain  "something wicked this way comes" vibe to it.  After putting in the lights and lowering the intensity down on it  and changing the color, I came with this look for the teaser. 

 Next thing was  for me to do the audio. This was a very long  process for me. I will admit I underestimated on how long that it would take to get done. Took about   almost two weeks as I was putting in certain sound FX,  a voice track, looking of the right music or sound and mixing them all together  to make them work together as if they are one. And since it was a teaser,I had to find a way to condense it to make work for that 1 minute and 6  seconds. It was my first time doing something like this. It was daunting, challenging, but very fun to do.

 Lastly, after putting all  the audio, visuals together and editing it, the teaser is done. Check out the video  link below and please as always post comments or ask questions on anything. Have a good day and  go be creative!

Great Things To Come

It's been a long awhile since I been back on here, but it's a new year and new regime. Expect to see a lot of new work that I am working or will be working on throughout the year. Lot of the updates will be projects that are works in progress  or done.  I will also will do a break down of each of the  projects as well.  I'm very excited on  doing this  on the blog and it should be a fun ride for all.
