A Broader Portfolio

Other Work

For years my craft was 3D environments, building worlds, lighting them, and telling stories through the spaces people move through.

That love of making never stays in one lane. Below is a wider slice of what I create: modeled scenes, streaming assets, or the artwork I make just to keep learning new skills.

01
3D Environment

Boiler Room Home

The boiler room home was a piece used to explore the capabilities of Unreal Engine 4 when it debuted. The concept is by "eWKn" on Deviant Art. I modeled and textured everything by hand, got it into the engine, and was able to use the node based blueprint system to create particle effects and real time animation and lighting in the scene.

Desert City

The desert city was a project on a larger scope on a more primitive tech than the boiler room project. This was built in UDK, which was a free version of Unreal 3 which was gated behind 250k licenses at the time. The idea was to create a lego set to build city blocks, then treat those blocks as larger lego to build an entire city. I was able to get hand painted particle effects and vertex painted texture working, but the project never met expectations because of the shortcomings of the lighting system.

Star Wars Cantina

The Mos Eisley Cantina was a fun excuse to learn 3DS Max and try to build something architecturally to scale.

Other 3D Modeling

This is a sampling of a few 3d models I held onto. A Boat paired with a kraken, and some sculpture practice for a graveyard scene.

Emotes & Overlays

Streaming Assets

For a few years I dabbled in streaming. I made a lot of assets for the ui, alerts, emotes, etc. I 3d modeled small bar scene where I placed an arcade machine [Arcade Model provided by friend Lamar McHaney] and comped in attract modes from some favorite games. Then we have my head floating in a wizard orb, some sprite sheet animation practice, and some motion graphics logo practice from after effects.

Other Artwork

I did go to a traditional art school and like to brush off the skills every now and then. We have a hand drawn and fountain pen inked version of Frog/Glen from Chrono Trigger. The actual krakoan language from the recent run of X-Men. I made all the glyphs and turned it into an actual usable font in windows. Then some more motion graphics practice!
