Future Transit Van


The mood broad above show what I am looking at doing as you can is it will be a flying car of some sort using references form total recall, blade runner, fifth element, back to the future and star wars.


I have decided to make a future transit van that's has had better days it was have parts replace that are not the same colour and rust like the two pictures here. the picture below is the main look, I'm going for. As this is the traditional stereotype of the transit van.


Below are two images of what I have done so far.


Above are two picture of the untextured future transit van


The picture above is an old texturing that i did but this i felt did not look like a transit


The two images here are the finished textured transit i added in more detail and added different colours to the panels to make it look like they had been changed as we see on most transit vans but I am thinking of changing the texture of the screen as I was looking at making a space like protection but this dose not fit well with the transit. 

The image below is the same but I have added two lights the one to the far right is a ambulant light and the other one is a spot light I was looking at if the transit lights up probably. 


To show what my future transit would look like in it home setting I got a still image from the film fifth element and using the lighting in maya and tried to mach up witht the lighting of the image as you came see below it came out ok.


Below is a 360 degree view of the future transit van.

Dragon's

Above is my mood board with refances from Skyrim, Ragin of Fire, Dragon Wars, Dungeons and Dragons and World of Warcraft Cataclysm these are what I looked at for inspertion for my final dragon sculpture also I will skeach some of these to get am idea on how they are shaped.




Above are some sketchs that I did to look at how the dragon I will make in sculptris look I looked at the side of the dragon and also looked at the head of the dragon as this is where most of the detail will be.


Part One


Part Two


Part Three



Dragon Finished!

Santa's Mobility Scooter


The Chrismas card idea i hope to go for is haveing an obese santa on a mobility scooter being palled by some reindeer, also with some presents in the barsket at the frount.
Here are some skeachs of fat santa on his mobility scooter with a reindeer pulling him i was looking at a cartoon style santa for santa, with a few quike skeachs of the final idea and looking at how to show him as nice and obese.


Above is my final idea so far I am using reference pictures to see were I what to put the scooter and reindeer.


Looking at the image I think I have put the scooter to high in the iamge and I will move it down and try not to mess up the perspective the reindeer and santa will be the hardest to draw for me so I will need to spend alot of time on those two. The reindeer will need to have alot of expression as it is palling somthing heavy and santa needs just to look really fat.




I decided to get rid of the reindeer and just have Santa as I felt there was to much going on in the picture, as you can see this makes the picture a lot simpler.



Not amazing but still a bit more to do.



Right I Know its shit but its the best I can do. the shadows are not good and it dose not look 3D. so i will remake this in 3D this using the image as reference.

Here I have made the scooter below in 3D there may need to be some more smoothing but for the start it has come out looking alright. Now I need to make the obese Santa which will be the hardest part to do.  





Here it is with basic colour


Below I desided to make a simple model of the fat santa for refrence and see how he would look on the scooter also to see where it would be best to place his legs and arms.

Plane Crash Final

 Above is the picture I rendered out of maya using a modle of a boeing 747 and some boxs to get the baceic shape of the buildings in the lower east side which are many tall houseing blocks.
Above is what I have done so far in Photoshop using basic textures and hard colours to get the forground midground and the background using what I larned from after affects. this is the basic layout of the image that i will add more detail and showeding and then change the colours and add glows to make it look like its at night.



Above is my plane image I will continue to make this in a 3D model  


Here is the model textured with a directional light I will add some assets and a skybox




Here it is with some street lambs and a skybox
Here I made the plane bigger as it was to samll in the other pictures and a boeing 747 is bigger then the legth of a a road also a made some indents in the ground and added rubble

I am possibly deciding on whether making this night or day, and adding in coloured lights for fire and adding in smoke to make seen more like this just in a crash plane.


Here I was looking at night it dose look alot cooler but the lights are shining though the plane on the right hand side at the frount of the plane.


Above there is no bump maps on the textures that I need to add

 
Here is the final picture all with bump maps and fire this has come out looking alot better then my 2D image.
 
Below Is what the hole scene looks like not from the camre view.
 
 
This is it when the lights are off
 
 
blow is the picture not rendered as I see it.
 
 
 
Here I have added in the smoke using the cloud paint tool in Maya I was trying to import my charaiter model to act as the hero but when I did this the picture below happed.
 
 
The model I imported was an FBX and this was massing up the scene so I uead a OBJ and got the Man in the scene as you can see below and this is my final image.

Plane Crash Research


Above is a mood borad on the location in new york of the lower east side and 747 planes that have crashed and looking at how planes like 747 brake up.

This borad I was looking as fire and smoke and more about planes braking up on the ground I looked at afew vidoes and screend short.
 

These are basic skeachs. I was looking at how I whated my 3D mobel to look and how the plane would be placed and how is broke up and hit the building.
 
 
This is a mobel of a 747 american airline crash mock-up.
