I would like to share, a modeling study and rigg cartoon. Suggestions and criticisms are welcome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtlIgxKrreI http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WFBtMc2EWx8/T7Ty8OXVkjI/AAAAAAAAAPQ/X8QfROw3MB4/s1600/boneco_barrigudim_web.jpg 2012-05-21T20:12:02+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3d-general/highlight-your-work/3d-modeling-helping-to-restore-a-wood-working-tradition/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3d-general/highlight-your-work/3d-modeling-helping-to-restore-a-wood-working-tradition/page-last/#When:10:27:49Z Hello. I wanted to share the beginnings of a project I'm working on as well as introduce myself both to the community and to Auto desk products in general. I'm a graduate from an Midwestern University with a BFA in Digital Art. I did not focus on anything primarily in college but found myself enjoying 3D modeling. 4 years later, I've been hired as the first figure modeler for a manufacture of traditional, hand carved, wooden carousels. The company has been using Autodesk products to help design the structure and mechanics of their carousels for a number of years now but the Carousel designers did not have the experience to start modeling the more organic aspects of a carousel, the figures, and the decorative molding. That's where I come in. I was trained on Alias Maya (now Autodesk Maya) and Zbrush, having worked with the former for about 2 years total and with Zbrush for a 6 week semester period. I've spent the past two weeks familiarizing myself with both Autodesk 3D Max Design and Autodesk Mudbox after being given my first modeling project (I also paint figures when not working with the computers). We have a client interested in having a miniature of a Carousel they are sponsoring being built. This Carousel is one of our larger ones, a 16 section, 4 row carousel that is nearly 50" wide I believe. It has 42 figures and 2 chariots on it. The Company's Owner and primary designer of this Carousel (Details of which I can not yet share) has been looking into 3D printing this miniature. Thus, I've started modeling the figures for a test. I'd like to share these figures and hear any advice or criticisms of them. Modeling is something that is still new to me, but that I enjoy. I want to improve and I think after modeling 42 figures I will! I also will have a number of questions regarding 3D printing and hope to pick all your brains during this project. Such as: Can you tell a 3D printer to print hollow? In order to cut down on costs, the Carousel Designer is wondering if we can print these figures hollow (much like how they are carved) and what that require from me, the modeler. Do I have to model a hollow space inside the figure and simply invert the normals so that the outer skin is facing out and the skin of the inner space is facing inward? Below are my two models so far, a Tiger, and the Zebra for the Carousel. The Zebra took me nearly a week to simply model out in 3D max and then a few more days in Mudbox. The tiger took me two days to model, having gotten familiar with 3D max and then I am still tweaking it in Mudbox (the paws need more details..). If you've ridden either of the Carousels located on Royal Caribbean's Allure of the Seas or Oasis of the Sea, the Carousel located at the L.A. Zoo, the Detroit Zoo, the Columbus Commons' Carousel or the Carousel of Innovation at Dayton, you've ridden a carousel Autodesk products have helped design. 2012-05-18T10:27:49+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3d-general/highlight-your-work/all-of-my-works/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3d-general/highlight-your-work/all-of-my-works/page-last/#When:01:02:47Z Here is the pig :) PLZ comment PS. its a pig floating lol :P...

I decided to make a stop smoking ad and here is the result. It where made in 3 weeks, and shot on a Canon 550D. 2012-04-19T23:25:46+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3d-general/highlight-your-work/bonespro-skinning-fast-and-funny/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3d-general/highlight-your-work/bonespro-skinning-fast-and-funny/page-last/#When:01:45:19Z The last days we created some fish creatures...here is a test with a rig which is controlled by one parameter www.polygonparty.de/Privat_stuff/etc/BP_fish_test.mp4 its really cool to see how you can control the motion of skin with the delay parameter. the skinning for this model was 10minutes...i only had to paint some weights for some bones. i did some more test for this projet and i could share the results if you are interested. cheers tommy 2012-04-10T01:45:19+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3d-general/highlight-your-work/my-3d-character---critics-and-rating/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3d-general/highlight-your-work/my-3d-character---critics-and-rating/page-last/#When:12:28:25Z Hey guys, i just finished modeling a character (modeled in 3Dmax, Details in zbrush4) and i need u to give me some critics and some tips to make it better, i'm still a student so i'm not a pro. thank you Nizar 2012-04-05T12:28:25+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3d-general/highlight-your-work/maya-fluids-video/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3d-general/highlight-your-work/maya-fluids-video/page-last/#When:13:01:05Z Here is a link to a video that I have just completed using fluids and n-particles. 2012-04-03T13:01:05+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3d-general/highlight-your-work/a-character-for-my-rpg/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3d-general/highlight-your-work/a-character-for-my-rpg/page-last/#When:15:46:44Z Finally, after years passed, I have finished a project. This is a character for a personal RPG game I am working on codenamed "Project_AfterRealm." Without going into too many game details, she is a special valkyrie, a profession in my game--her role in the story is significant and she is one of 8 individuals who.... there I go with the bloody details. Just know she is a plus size warrior/healer maiden--and I really do mean PLUS size (she is not a super model, but rather, large and tough). She has a name, but I am not revealing it yet. Her final polygon count was a beautiful 82 million. Again, I want to reiterate that she is supposed to be large--think female barbarians from the Diablo series. I would greatly appreciate any and all feedback, so please leave some, and do remember that this is my first completed project. I hope to post more work from my RPG soon. Thank you. 2012-03-23T15:46:44+02:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3d-general/highlight-your-work/3daily-reel-2011-2/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-3d-general/highlight-your-work/3daily-reel-2011-2/page-last/#When:11:28:43Z Hey Everybody, here is my Showreel for this Year.
