Lego Mini Container Truck Project : Model Turntable

Its been a while since my last post and I have been meaning to send out an update to the personal project.

The model consists of 41 blocks which where modeled in Maya and then brought into Houdini individually. When all the blocks where individually brought in, I then began to "Object Merge" and translate instances of the geometry.. All in all I finished the process and through it through a Mantra Ambient Occlusion Pass, to show it off. The next step will be the Rig and Shaders, more to come! Please let me know what you think!! Would love to know :)

PS......  Go check out Snow White and the Huntsman, in theaters June 1st!!!!

Blog Update

I have been working on a new personal project!! I'll be udateing my blog in a few, with a model pass as it is almost final.. Its a derivative of my thesis I worked on at NYU.. where I used a Lego Formula One race car and formed it in the streets of new york. This isn't going to be as ambitious, learning from my mistakes :) I decided to go with a 110 block model rather then my 750 plus model I used in my thesis @#$%^!!! I felt this will hon in on the things I have learned while in the industry and will give me more time to focus on high quality live action integration, which I felt wasn't my strong suit in my thesis. I feel a lot of this industry is learning from your mistakes, but anyways, more to come!

BLAST FROM THE PAST -- haha

Chip-Wrecked

Wrapped up Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chip-Wrecked last month, it was a blast to work with a crew of talented individuals on a movie that had a bunch of challenging aspects to it. I hope all the kids out there enjoy the pre-christmas movie, coming out on the 16th of December.
