Textured Frigate

The final textured version of the Frigate is now available from Turbosquid and The 3D Studio.

New Frigate Mesh

The untextured "Reach" style Frigate model can be downloaded at The 3D Studio and Turbosquid.

Frigate debuts in Red vs Blue

The Frigate model has been finished finally! You can enjoy watching it being awesome as it makes its appearance in Season 10 of  Rooster Teeth's awesome series Red vs Blue as the "The Mother of Invention". As a note, I only modeled and textured the Frigate's exterior- not the interior seen in some shots!

A better version will (seriously) be available this summer.

A Halloween Crab, fully rigged and skinned in Maya 2012. Will animate at some point!

Frigate Updates

These images are several weeks old now, but around October I finished the majority of textures for the Frigate (see comparison with the original Frigate below) and have built a low detail Halcyon Cruiser (Pillar of Autumn from "Reach")

Frigate Texture Update

Been hard at work on the Frigate lately, I've unwrapped it and have started texturing. So heres the first pic:

Halo: Reach Frigate

Rebuilt everything since last year and have gone a lot further with the detail.

Zen Available to Buy!

I've recently completed a Creative Zen multimedia player, its now avaialble on Turbosquid and The 3D Studio for anyone to download and use in personal work.

Its fully textured (apart from the tiny metal and plastic contacts on the USB and headphone socket) and includes 7 textures and the shaders seen below.

It comes as a Maya 2011 scene file and includes .obj and Autodesk .fbx versions for those of you using 3ds Max or other programs.

Obligatory Generic Old Man

I've modified the basic mesh and refined some edge loops and proportions and now I'm testing shaders for the skin and eyes.

Light Cycles

A small project completed over a few days.

CG Talk Lighting Challenge 25 v1

Heres my first WIP for the CG Talk Lighting Challenge "Artistry".

Creative Zen

A small project I completed this week.

Pelican Dropship Unwrapped

Heres a shot of the unwrapped Pelican with a UV distortion map I got from google.

Also I've just notice I've forgotten to update the verion number on the bottom of todays WIP sheets- they should read v620.

Pelican Dropship v620

Although you can't see it from the size of the WIP sheet, I've chamfered all the edges out (hence the massive increase in polygon count) and added a few more edge loops to make the shape smoother as well as added more detail to the engines and the surface of the main body.

Pelican Dropship v235

The interior is being blocked out for the cockpit- but I'll probably leave it out for final renders as the window reflections will probably mean you can't see it anyway.

Pelican Dropship v154

Pelican Dropship v96

The shapes getting better, so I'm almost ready to add details.

Textured RAF Seaking

The finished (for now) Seaking. The textures and reflectivity of the blades needs reducing mainly but any further improvements will be made mostly through additional modelling. Since the final shots it was used for mainly show it from the bottom, it will do for now.
