Next project for demo reel, a submarine

Here is my next project for my demo reel, a submarine based on krill and squid shapes. The final design is at the top of the first sheet, with a head on pic on the right edge of the page. The general shape of it is finished, I'm just working out the details on it now. It's going to be a fairly large sized model, so it needs a lot of the smaller detail to be worked out.

Modeling progress, learning a thing or two about texturing.

I'm actually surprised how much I enjoy prop modeling. The objects are usually quicker to unwrap than full scale models so I can get to the fun part of texturing a lot faster. I like the "Shea's Parkatorium" sign alot. The model is dirt cheap, but the texture adds a lot to it. The neon tubes inside the sign were fun to simulate.

Update on some of my final projects

Demo Reel Projects

Here's an update on how my demo reel projects are coming along.
First, my underwater environment. It turned out good, but not great. I'm going to be working on this one a lot later on. Then there is my robot that I'm working on, it can turn into a ball and roll around. Last is my creature, some armor concepts for it, and for it's deceased rider.

What I'm up to now:

5'7", ba-dum, tish!

I've taken on an extra-curricular project at school that will result in a full conversion mod for the Half Life 2, Episode 2 engine. I'm the co-designer for this game, as well as a few other positions, like modeling, character and item design.

Besides this project, I am doing well in my other courses. Got top marks on my head model just recently. Here's some pictures to bring you up to speed:

Learning Lighting Rigs and Environment Maps

Easy enough once you get the hang of it.

And here he is pretty much finished as a sketch. I'm not much of a painter yet, so it'll probably be a long time before he gets coloured.
