Some images of ingame assets i have created. Click images for Higher Resolution.

Been a While....

2010-04-06T09:06:00.008Z

Well, it's been a while since i've done any work on this guy, but thought i'd give him more definition in the abdominal area. I think it works quite well.

These screenshots are taken from within Maya's viewport using realtime shaders. No rendering at all. This is how it looks while working on the model. Really nice way to work.

Thanks to Donald Revie for writing the shader. You're a legend :)

Further Updates...

2009-07-14T12:38:00.008Z

Thought i'd add another update....

Let's start again.....

2009-04-17T09:04:00.006Z

Well, i decided to start the textures again. I wasnt happy with the way they were going so i thought i'd work on some nice skin shaders and take it from there. I think it's look much better now. I've also reworked the shorts as they were feeling a bit 'flat'.

Body

2009-02-25T17:58:00.003Z

Started working on the chest texture..... still got a way to go, but getting there.

Head - Work in Progress

2009-02-18T23:44:00.003Z

Well, its been a busy few weeks, but started working on texturing the head. Pretty pleased with it so far, still a bit to go yet though.....

Shorts

2009-02-18T23:34:00.006Z

Decided to crack on with the shorts as i'd has enough of starring at my characters G-String.... :)

I've made 2 sets of shorts so far. Sprawl and Warrior Wear.

Black Sprawl shorts with sponsors

Grey Sprawl shorts with sponsors

Selection of Sprawl shorts

Warrior Wear shorts

Ear, ear.... what 'ave we ear?

2009-02-02T20:05:00.002Z

Spent last night modelling the ear.... worked out quite nicely i think. Texture isn't final. Might look nice with some subsurface scattering.

MMA Fighter - update

2009-01-31T22:39:00.004Z

Well, i've finally started working on the head. I've added a very rough texture at the moment, just so i can get a clearer idea of the facial features. The nose proved to be quite problematic, but i got there in the end..... nostrals are a pain. I havent sewn the ears into the mesh yet, so there is a hard seam at present.

MMA fighter (WIP)

2009-01-23T13:45:00.021Z

This is a work in progress. I'll update as i progress through the project.

Peugeot 206 WRC

Another view of the 206 WRC

Peugeot 206 WRC

2006-08-11T14:55:00.000Z

This was one of the very first models i ever made in Maya. I also build the plastic version many years ago. This is one of those projects that i keep going back to and changing things. Its come a long way since the first edition. Still not completely satisfied with it as there are a few areas i feel could do with some more work.... tails lights for example...... i'm sure i'll get it finished one day.

Poly count - 18000 tris (mostly in small detail which i will probably remove). Textures are just decal textures.... so no real texture mapping involved.

Ferrari 550

2006-08-11T14:51:00.000Z

I will own one of these on day..... but in the mean time, this will have to do. I have a love of all things 'car-like' and the more flash the better. Modelled in Maya using 7000 polys

Cable Carnage

2006-08-11T14:45:00.000Z

A level from Fear Factor Unleashed - called 'Cable Carnage' - i dont come up with the names ;)
The whole level was completed in 2 days, so not a lot of time to polish unfortunately, but i still think it looks good. Basically the player had to make it from the top of the cable house to the bottom collecting tokens on the way.... not really my idea of fun, but hey.... i just do the art work. ;) reminds me a bit of a James Bond sequence.......

Sewer concept

2006-08-11T14:42:00.000Z

This was a style guide image for a sewer section. Part of a possible Arcade level in State of Emergency 2. This was created for the PSP, hence the low level of detail.

Captain America - WIP

2006-08-11T14:39:00.000Z

Well, as you can probably tell, this is a work in progress. Originally wanted to build just a regular tough guy, but somewhere along the lines i decided to texture his head like Captain America. Not sure if i'll continue with the super hero theme, but i'll get round to finishing the model at some point...... honest.

Dex

2006-08-11T14:33:00.000Z

Another character from Fear Factor Unleashed. Not too happy with his glasses or hair on this guy, but as i only had a day to do it, i guess its ok.

2006-08-11T14:31:00.000Z

This is a character from Fear Factor Unleashed (PC, PS2 and Xbox) called Kirk. I was tasked with retexturing this guy and this is the outcome.

Welcome all to my blog. I'm a 3D artist at Cohort Studios based in Dundee, Scotland. My good mate Ross told me about creating a blog and after viewing his (see link) i decided i would try one of my own.

Please feel free to leave comments/crits about any of the images on here.

Thanks and welcome.
