Info: The first page of my portfolio showcases a character I developed for a series of comic books I had created many years ago. Recently, I redesigned his look and overall purpose, and here you can also see as I took him from a 2D concept to a full 3D model complete with some detailed 2D unwraps. The additional renders show some up close shots as well as the wireframe of the character.

Info: The second page of my portfolio featuring Jebediah Lawson who is a no holds barred sheriff character which I created for the game Unreal Tournament 2004. Due to that very fact he had to be made with a lot of restrictions in mind in terms of overall polygon size. The bottom of the page shows the unwraps of the character, and the additional renders show some up close shots as well as the wireframe of the wily sheriff, and an in game screen grab.

Info: This is a 3D still life that I did for my materials and lighting class of my game cabinet. The top three shots are actual photographs I took for reference and the shots below are my final renders. There are also a few wireframe renders which show the geometry of the scene.

Info: My Audi TT car which I designed in my first 3D modeling class. Over time I refined the overall shape of the car, the materials, and the lights used in the scene until I was satisfied with the end result. The finished renders showcase the model in a variety of locales while the bottom three illustrate the wireframe of the car as well as the solid, flat, unmapped version.

Info: A 3D exterior environment I built in my game level and world creation class. The actual model of the cathedral was inspired by the real life Chartres cathedral in France. Many hours went into the planning and design of the scene along with a lot of 2D compositing and painting in Photoshop for the maps and textures I used. The middle shot in the second row from the bottom shows some of the concept art for the scene. The bottom renders showcase the flat, untextured model and its transition into the wireframe render as well.

Info: A 3D interior environment I built in my game level and world creation class. This is the interior of one of the hallways of the cathedral found on the previous page. A lot of time went into the lighting implemented in this scene as well as the postproduction effects. The middle shot in the bottom row shows some of the concept art for the scene. The renders right beneath the large pic showcase the flat, untextured model and its transition into the wireframe render as well.

Medium: 2D compositing completed in Photoshop, UT2004 editor and 3D Studio Max used for model renders

Info: A 3D interior environment I built in my level design class for the game Unreal Tournament 2004. Working with the editor proved quite challenging at first but wasn't too difficult in the long run. A lot of the props were imported from Max, but a large majority of the level was built from scratch in Unreal. The many renders show the numerous areas of the monastery level which is more suited for a large number of combatants.

Info: A 3D exterior environment I built in my level design class for the game Unreal Tournament 2004. This was a very difficult level to finish in the time alloted due to the fact that I made it absolutely massive in terms of overall scale. Being a capture the flag level in Unreal meant I had to design two bases/areas for the red and blue teams. The canyon itself was painted and sculpted entirely in Unreal. Once again, a lot of the props were imported from Max, but a large majority of the level was built from within the game editor. The many renders show the numerous areas of the canyon both interior and exterior.
