StarCraft 2 Beta...eeee!

Got my hands on the StarCraft 2 Beta today, sadly i have to wait 5 hours to download. In the mean time I can browse concept art of this game and find some inspiration from their artwork.
Even if you don't play the game, I recommend checking out their work.

A dream I will make come true.

Lunchbox Class Assignment

Here is my class room assignment.
We had to make a lunchbox for a Ogre. and have 3 foods a ogre would eat.
I made a slug sandwich, a cow's tongue and a handful of spiders to snack on.
YUM lol.



****UPDATE****
I redesigned the box and changed the material and render settings.

Prop Project

In 3D class, we were assigned to make a prop. Pretty much anything you wanted.
So i decided to do a lamp post in a "magical city"
Here what i was going for is 1 giant floating lamp with 2 smaller ones circling around the main lamp.
I cant wait till i get a better understanding of texture mapping so my models wont be giant gray blobs :)





****UPDATE****
Same thing like the lunchbox, changed the render and lighting.

Dragon WIP

Here is my attempt so far for my dragon in 3dsmax. I'm trying to get as much detail as possible so keep checking back!


****UPDATE****
That first one was just practice.
With this one it more like my reference image i have.
Now he sorta has dragon like features.
I still need to work on the head.
I dont know if im gonna make it that smooth though.



*****UPDATE*****
Here is what i'll be turning in tomorrow for the assignment.
I have everything thats required, but i would like to keep working on this and make it better...and better...and better.......you get the idea :)


*****UPDATE*****
After class today i talked with my teacher to help make this dragon better. So i did some poly smoothing on groups looks less poly and more organic! i want to make this REALLY good like you see in movies soon :).

I was making a 3D model of a fire breathing dragon...

But turns out i started to hear sirens and see flashing lights.
I go outside and i see a trailer home across from my house on fire.
From what the officer said, there was no one inside and they were safe.
