Messing Around in Maya

I am playing around with creating custom materials. This is a glass like material we came up with. Pretty fun stuff, I will post more 3D models later.

Slums WIP

Here is a snapshot of an environment I am working on.

Assignment 9 - Cel Animation Again

The cheesy drop shadow is to help sell the idea that its on a cel closer to the viewer than it is from the background. 

Assignment 9 - Personal Choice

I decided I wanted to do another Cel-Animation style, and the information about Cel-Animation can be found on my blog here:

Instrument WIP

Just messing around with the idea of a telepathic instrument. I was thinking that it could resonate similar to a pan pipe or horn when the user emits telepathic energies. It would be found at an archeological dig in the nation of Ionia (from League of Legends) The values are pretty rough at the moment, but I plan to post ore as I complete more work.

Assignment 8 - Cut Paper

The art of cut paper is using paper in layers to create an image. Sometimes the pictures can be more 3 dimensional, other times the only dimension is the thickness of the paper. Often times decorative paper is used, but it is not required. Cut paper can have a very elementary feel, but it can also be very sophisticated. Often times you can see the thickness of the paper, and the texture of the paper come into play.

Here are some examples:
