Dragon Samurai

Here's the turnaround sheet for a new character that I'm gonna be modeling/sculpting

Raijin's Castle - Finished!

Here are the final renders of the floating castle that is the home of Raijin, the Japanese god of thunder and lightning.
About 100k tris total
11 - Color/Specular/Reflectivity Maps
2 - Normal Maps on the clouds

Textures DONE!

Textures are done! Now onto final renders and presentation!

Castle Update

Finished the main cloud, baked the normals and did more work on the castle

Pre-Dominance War update

Pre-Dom War update. Final mesh. Sitting at 2980 tris. Gonna get started on the layout soon

Raijin's Castle

Blockout of Raijin's Castle as well as a sculpt of the main 'cloud' that the castle sits on

Castle of the Thunder God

Here is the rough concept and reference sheet for my 3D Environments final. It is basically a castle in the sky that belongs to the Japanese thunder god Raijin. It's a floating castle that actually creates lightning and thunder(instead of the god) by some machine hidden underneath the main cloud which is actually made out of metal. I wanted to incorporate some steampunk elements in this which is actually where I got the idea for making a castle on a 'cloud'

Pre-dominance War Challenge

Here's the silhouette of my entry in the Pre-dominance War Challenge. I am on the Polycount team and this is my Technomage. Gonna start modeling soon

Stump final

Well I didn't want to spend too much time on the stump so I could figure out what to do for my 3D Environment final, but I'm satisfied with this.

ZBRUSH stump WOO HOO

This little exercise for my 3D Environments class was my first time using Zbrush and baking normals and all that jazz. I gotta say, I really love Zbrush now and I am definitely going to keep using it. Here is the model in Maya with the normal map, the texture is still a WIP so bear that in mind and some screen grabs of the sculpt

Butler House Final

Butler House Update

Almost done, just some minor tweaking left to do in the texture and I still have to bake some AO
