After a few weeks of all nighters...

you start to go crazy.

Dorothy the Witch

Midterm from my painting class.  Dorothy feels bad for squashing the witch of the East and tries to take her place.

Because the last picture was scary

here's a baby

And So It Begins

We've started final renders...

Yeah

Hiking

This is the salt lake from antelope island.  I might post more hiking pictures since I haven't had many personal projects recently.  But on the bright side, I now know computer programming (c++ and python)

Stop Motion Animation

Experimental class was fun.

Tim's Tiki

Another storyboarding assignment.  The timing of the movie is a bit off, but I already tried uploading it here as pictures and that was a miserable failure.

CG Hat

This is another project from the shader programming class.  We had to put an object in a photograph and make it so no one could tell it was CG.  Unfortunately I can't find all of the in-between steps so you'll have to trust me that it looked pretty laughable in the beginning.  Getting a polygonal model to look like cloth by hand wasn't easy.  The hat was mostly modeled in Mudbox using a crazy process which took quite a while.  Shading and lighting were in Houdini.

Original Photo 

Mostly Finished Model and Texture

Final

Going to the DMV

This was my 30 second assignment from storyboarding.  I had to cut out a few things even from this simple story to get it down to 30 seconds.  I love playing with words, so this is my take on what could happen if you sign up as an organ donor.

Estefan

I guess it's time to post what I did on Estefan.  It's about the world's best barber who has to deal with a bald customer.

I did lighting and compositing for these two shots and two others.  I also helped work on two additional shots for a total of six.

Serenity

More practice.  I did a painting from the end of Serenity.  I was interested by how much of the frame was black but still read clearly.  I also wanted to capture the strange way the captain's skin changes from a sickly yellow to red before going to black.

Trunk Monkey

A classic BYU assignment, what will your trunk monkey do?
We were limited to 4 presentation boards for a commercial

I'm not sure about the blood or the gun blast, but it looks less like the monkey actually did something without them.

Color Study

A quick color study, I had to quit when the sun started to set.
