Zelda 2 Sword - Maya Model

*UPDATE*

Rendered and touched up the sword a bit in Photoshop.

So I attempted to model the incredible sword design from the box cover art from "Zelda II:  The Adventure of Link" from way back in the 80's.  I think I'm happy with the "clay" version, and I'll get a rendered version as soon as I get some time, which I have almost none of now, due to work.  And thanks so much for visiting again, after such a long hiatus that I had no intention to take.

Another Motorcycle - Maya Model

*UPDATE*

This was actually for my final school project in my Art History class.  We had to take an ordinary object from today and make it look like it came out of another time period, so I chose to make a motorcycle that came from Akhetaten in ancient Egypt.  Fun stuff.  Here's a render of the textures and shaders I added.














Vrrrrroooooom...

Animation Studio Background

It rarely happens with me where I'm ecstatic at something that I create, but when I just tried rendering a background I modeled some time ago, I was surprised at how well it turned out to me.  Dear Renderman, how do I love thee?  I can't count the ways...

Nanomite - Maya Model

*UPDATE*

Here's a shaded version of the Nanomite, rendered in 3Delight.  I think I'm happy enough with it.















*UPDATE*

I finished the modeling and I rendered a 'clay' version.  Now to add the shaders...

I was inspired by a design I came across in one of the GI Joe comics I had.  I decided to model the Nanomite, and so far I'm liking how it's coming out.  I have not seen the movie, so I don't know how the comic book design compares to the movie.  The front part is done, now starting the back part, and there's a lot more than I imagined at first to do for the back.  Enjoy it, while I get back to finishing it...
