Dolphin Animation

Dolphin Animation Test from mitch avery on Vimeo.

First attempts at a basic rig setup with my dolphin model - part of a class project.  ok, so its not really a rig.... just a sine deformer attached to the spine, but still pretty good basic motion.  

Gerber

Quick class modeling project...

Rolex Watch Model

For the first time I'm sitting down and actually trying to create a full project in Maya, from start to finish, with some help from a very nice tutorial.  First modeling stages of the watch face:

Hand Modeling Day 2

Not much done today, just fixed up the shape a bit, got some tendons in there around the knuckles, and started with a few fingernails.... Still debating on whether or not to add the nails seperately

And some more details around the thumb/web area

Old horseshoe animation I did a while back, playing with particles and reactor.  The horseshoe kind of floats over the sand, but the displacement of the sand itself works nicely.

Hand Modeling Day 1

 Base Mesh in 3ds Max

 Fleshing it out in zBrush

Logo Design

Pro-bono logo design for the Spinal Cord Injury 

Recovery Project annual fund raiser.

Completely designed and modeled in 3ds Max, 

and rendered with a cell-shader.  

Unused menu cover idea for an Asian Bistro in 

Longmont, Colorado.  Never actually completed

or completely refined, the project was scrapped.

A couple random typography projects for class, 

using 3ds max and some particles

...and messing around in photoshop with some new brushes

One of my first zBrush to MAX texturing projects. The bump and specular maps didn't quite turn out like expected but still, not bad results for a first attempt.

One of my very first models ever.... has to be 2003? 

More zBrush modeling
