So I ended up finishing my speed modeling piece a few days ago. Here’s how it came out:
I had to shy away from using sand dunes, as I had initially planned, since the sand texture simply wasn’t working very well. I’m sure if I spent a bit more time, I could get more polish on this, but that’s how it goes with basically every art piece ever made.

I’ve finalized and finished up the Clocktower. Here’s the final version:
I realized that these mountains work far better than the ones I had previously and by layering one on top of the other, I managed to create a pretty cool effect.
This one took a surprisingly longer than I thought it would. I think the main reason for that is that this clocktower is geometrically very complex. It’s also one of the few times I’ve tried to composite something. The mountains are actually composited in, along with the sky. The other major departure I’ve made for this piece, compared to previous pieces, is the use of a real HDRI for lighting, rather than the combination of Arnold physical sun and sky with directional lighting. I’m not sure that I totally feel that this is the route I will take, but it does definitely show promise, especially for more traditional outdoors environments.
I will try to make an effort to post more often, since I have been sort of neglecting this website for one reason or another. Since we are all indoors because of the pandemic, I should be able to rekindle this website a bit. I’m sure you would be more interested in reading and seeing more content as well.

Right, I realize that I haven’t posted much at all. Things have been pretty insane for the past few months, for a lot of reasons. Now that the whole world is basically locked down, I find myself with a lot of time on the weekends. So without further ado, since I finished up At Fate’s End: Episode 1, I’ve had a bunch of random ideas pop in my head, started a bunch of them, but this is the one I ultimately ended up pursuing further. So it’s still a WIP, and I’ve tried several variations of it. The inspiration was from a tower I saw in Plaza de Espana in Seville. I decided to make a clocktower out of it. Here’s my progress pics:

So I’ve been working a lot on the project At Fate’s End. It’s coming along, but it does take a lot of time to render the frames. This animation, though only 2 seconds, took 20 hours to render approximately 17 frames. Check it out!
This is my first ever animation in Arnold, so I’m pretty proud of it, even if it is basic. The rest of the video that I’m making won’t be completely animated, not to this degree at least.

I’ve been very absent recently, since my job has been crazy busy this past month or so. But thing’s have calmed down a bit, and I am still working on random pieces. This piece is a one day speed modeling challenge. I spent approximately 8-10 hours on it. It’s heavily inspired by cyberpunk pieces and noir art form. It takes a lot of cues from Blade Runner, Altered Carbon, and Ghost in the Shell. Here it is:
There’s going to be more updates, so stay tuned!

So as you know, the Knight of Fate is finalized:
But there are some other test renders I have that I’d like to share with y’all as well:
His sword will be the next thing I model, which in theory, shouldn’t take too long. Stay tuned for more updates!

I’ve rigged up the model and made a fun little environment for the mostly finalized Knight of Fate character. Here are the pics:
This took me a surprisingly long time to get a decent environment together to show off the character in. It did come together in the end.
He’s still not finished though. After all, every Knight needs a trusty blade at his side…

I’ve been on a bit of a hiatus. Now I’ve decided that I’m going to get back into the swing of things. I recently finished a new character model which will be a part of a larger series and also is new experimentation for me. It’s sort of inspired by the Nazgul from Lord of the Rings and also the Grim Reaper. Here are the final pics:
The character is going to feature in a new short series I’m going to try my hand at. I’m hopeful that this series won’t end up being as time consuming as others have been in the past.
What’s cool about this character is that it’s almost entirely cloth simulation, something that was a lot of fun to play with.
Stay tuned for some more updates!
