Some modeling exercise !

2012-01-29T22:58:00.002+01:00

Hello, I've done many things in the meanwhile but I haven't posted many things (as usually) !

I'm working on some cool projects, I hope to be able to share them soon.
It's quite hard to deal with my day job at the same time though...

As I try to avoid to keep going with my own skills without looking what others are doing.
I've lately tried to look at some online tutorials, trying to improve my modeling skills and see how others people were using their application. That's always instructive.

Here is some models done thanks them. (Mostly from CG tuts)

Quick sculpt

2011-09-12T00:41:00.004+02:00

Hello there, I've lately bought a wacom tablet, an old intuos but that one is like a new one !!! It was hardly used by its owner. I wanted to test it under zbrush and I did a little sculpt from a sphere. It's now easier to sculpt :-)

Old Stuff

2011-09-04T23:20:00.013+02:00

Hello all,

Lately I've enhanced my portfolio, I gave to it a cleaner look, which is better, at least I think. I added as well my last scene done under UDK.

Nevertheless, I decided as well to remove a lot of jobs which were more some tries than accomplished and finished models (such as sculpts, precomputed models inside blender, paintings). These were aswell for some of them outdated or not showing my actual and current abilities.

Instead of completely deleting all these olds jobs, I rather prefer to put them all here. They are after all part of my beginning...

Gloomy Environment

2011-08-08T21:39:00.002+02:00

Here is a project under UDK I'm working on, It's a gloomy environment. As you can guess It's still unfinished. This is a WIP, I hope to be able to finish it soon. I quite enjoy working on this !

Desert Wizard

2011-08-05T00:13:00.003+02:00

Who has never wanted to create characters ? According to me, creating characters is one of the most exciting field in the job of a 3D artist.
Fore sure it requires good knowledge of anatomy, a good understanding of the mechanic of that one. I'm always stunned and I can stay hours looking at portfolio of skilled characters artist...

That's why I wanted to create that one when I was whitout the internet... I had to cut my models into differents parts to export them and sculpt them inside zbrush because my config at that time couldn't not handles all the levels of subdiv.

Next try should be better for sure :-p, at least I hope ;)

Head of WW1 soldier

2011-08-05T00:07:00.003+02:00

As promised here is a little test I did, some months ago, I wanted to create a head under Zbrush and paint diffuse whitout using photos as textures, just by using the polypainting tool inside zbrush. I'm aware there are many mistakes on this head, such as lips and etc, but I'm quite satisfied of the result of the texture.

After one year with nothing showed !

2011-07-30T00:47:00.002+02:00

Hello everyone (yes we never know someone will read this page XD)

It's been one year since I posted something here, I'm not dead at all.
I'm still looking for a long term contract as game artist in the game-industry, I've been working a lot during this year. I think I've also learnt many things through some little works, tests and tutorials watched, and little project where I take part.

I have some good projects in mind, if ever these ones become reals, I should be able to reach my aim and grow a lot professionnaly !

Lately I've also updated a little bit my config, even If this one is still outdated, I'm now able to work on full environement under engine such as UDK. In the past I was hardly able to run it...

I'll try to show you some "good" stuff ;-)

see you soon all !

Unity - Asteroids

2010-07-06T14:20:00.006+02:00

Hello there, still a quick job inside unity, It's part of the space project for a job I had to provide, here some asteroids, "quickly" done. I've also created some LODS using PolygonCruncher.

Unity - Planets and Space

2010-06-29T21:16:00.003+02:00

Here is a little sample of a job I did lately durin my spare time. It's under the Unity as well, like the previous work with the crate contest. It's a cool engine, quite user friendly! It's as well what we are using at the moment of our verdun-online project.

The space is just a 2D painted plane, the atmosphere is aswell moving around the planet through a script, some more planets should be created soon. If ever you want to see currents planets alive clic > Here <

Unity Prefabs - Crate contest

2010-06-24T03:02:00.004+02:00

This was the subject of a little challenge, I created these basics crates in some hours, no more than 3 hours If I remember well ! We had to create prefabs that help people with their Facebook (for exemple) implementation of their game.

These low polies crates are the result of some highpoly parts baked on low polies surfaces with some nvidia plugin... (In real time Inside Unity Engine)

I ended second !

Z-Brush Head

2010-06-24T01:39:00.007+02:00

Just an old head I was working on... I started with a polysphere, Unfortunately the file is now "corrupted" and I can't work on it anymore.

Bienvenue !

2010-06-15T23:27:00.002+02:00

Welcome everyone,

As I don't have a lot of spare time to work on some personals projects to put on my portfolio, I 've decided to open this blog.

The purpose of this one is more about sharing little works, creations not really important or even some tutorials results I've followed to get better !

Finally I just probably want to show I'm not dead, I'm still alive and I still want to reach my aim, get a place in this industry at the end even if I already have a job at the moment, but we all have to eat one way or another isn't it?

So that was for the introduction, stay tuned, I'll probably show some results of the tutorials followed with Eat3D (Awesome tuts)
