This is another shot from a bunker deep within the fortress from a previous post! This was a speed modeling piece I did over a few days. This bunker was built in the world of Age of Spite long ago by a very powerful empire but has now become a refuge for the same nation, now in decline.

This is a shot from my upcoming animation, a project I spent quite some time on. This is the citadel!
The terrain is using a special terrain generation software, coupled with new techniques I’ve learned that I am putting to the test.

I worked on a fun speed modeling piece of a briefing room that also doubles as a location for my animation. Check it out here:
The final result turned out a lot better than I thought it would. You will be fascinated to learn that there’s very little actual geometry in this scene! It’s mostly heavily reliant on textures! I did design the map on the globe (which you might recognize from a previous post!)

I’ve been really doing all sorts of new things for this animation. Check out this map I made for the world of Age of Spite! It utilizes 8 naming languages!
You can see here the various nations and regions of this brand new dark fantasy world!

More updates for the upcoming animation! Here’s a new character, the scout unit from the Technocracy of Dara Surya.
These scouts are very capable and very dangerous! They specialize in infiltration missions deep within enemy territory, loitering in areas and collecting reconnaissance intelligence for the main army. Watch the animation to see them in action! Stay tuned and subscribed for more updates!

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!
