Canyon Scene Final

Starting to work on my Final for class.
I plan on adding a rope bridge, river, a horse and a small tent and fire pit.
This isn't due till Mid-June, doesn't hurt to start on it now. :)

Week 6: Landscape Assignment

Here is the final version of my Landscape Assignment for Principles of 3D Modeling Class.
Enjoy and post your comments!

Landscape WIP!

Now here is my forte!
Environments! Here is a very basic concept design.
Most likely not what it will turn out to be. It with be more detailed like my desert scene i have posted before. This is just a rough model.
Keep checking back through out the week for updates!



****UPDATE****
wooooo on my way to making an awesome landscape!


****UPDATE****
Working with VUE going to get a nice panoramic scene. just gotta wait 5 hours till it renders out lol.
couple low poly simple buildings to add. You can tell im spending more time on world than my objects :).






****UPDATE****
Well, im disappointed with VUE a bit because i had some problems. BUT its a new program to me and i shall learn it and get better at it. You can see the possibilities i have with it in my last update.
So im just going to stick with MAX with this assignment.
Here is what i have so far. need to add a couple more buildings and tweak lights and render settings and it shall be complete!


****UPDATE****
So i dropped the texture of the landscape because it draws to much focus from the buildings as well. so i decided to make it a clay render and add some ridge like walls to my scene. now you can tell whats all in my scene :D
Almost done....doing some final touch ups and its looking great so far!

Week 5 Assignment: Chess Set

After about 15 hours of calculated work... I have completed my assignment.
i really like the way it turned out.
I hope you do too :D
Render times: 25min a picture.

Chess Set WIP

chess set!
Using splines for the first time.
Also using a reference picture.



****UPDATE****
designed a board to play on for my chess set.
if you notice carefully, i used my lamp prop as well :D


****UPDATE****
Pretty much done, all i need to do now is work on the queen and king.
Looks a lot better with pieces on the board now all rendered out! (took 10 minutes to render)
