Intro to 3D Modeling
















This project was to create an advertisement for a museum exhibit. This piece is actually going to go to a Comic Con (convention) this weekend to represent Westwood College along with some other artwork and student portfolios.

This project exhibits lighting, atmospherics, texture mapping... I used a cloth modifier on the table cloth in the lower right corner and a hair&fur modifier on the teddy bear (supposed to look like some child had left it behind... because I don't know how to model actual people yet).


















Our last project was a product design to help us work on our modeling skills. So I made a castle playset starting with the dungeon where a very cartooney skeleton hangs from the ceiling, then upstairs to a dining room, and then the top floor is the wizard's lair (this was my instructor's idea since I ran out of good ideas by this time).

The character models were inspired by an old M.A.S.K. playset I had as a kid, with movable arms and legs. (These figures unfortunately can't bend their knees.) My friend Andy suggested the name for the playset. It has horrendous lighting but I was in a time crunch.
