Trees: Moodboards

Tree moodboards, combination of existing trees and concept art of trees.

Moodboard of coral reefs, as I'm thinking about basing my tree off of coral structures.

Surreal: Final

Decided to go with the giraffe tower from my sketches but made it more building like, not happy with how this turned out, ended up rushing a lot of it. Lightning on the left looks strange, shoukld of kept the same as the lightning on the right and would of liked to make the girafe-tower stick out more visually, adding more landscape to this could of made it better

Surreal: Mindmap, Sketches, etc.

Made a mind map to get some ideas down, probably not very easy to read. Will sketch some out and see how they look.

Giraffe tower, from the collective noun for giraffes 'a tower of giraffes', however there's only one giraffe making it contradictory.

Literal interpretation of 'mountain out of a molehill' with a giant monster mole.

Surreal: Moodboard

Chef Robot

A robot chef, its head is shaped like a chefs hat and has a hob on the top of it (though this looks a little too much like a cleaver because of the shading) and it has an oven door on its front

Don't like how this came out, struggled with getting the basic shape down and I should of used objects which fit in better as a spoon and a pineapple don't go together and looks weird, should of used a bowl and spoon or pineapple and knife. The shading on the head doesn't match the rest of the body either and I should of added stronger shading to it.

Robots: Sketches

Sketch and colour study of Asimo

Sketch of an assembly line robot arm

 

I wanted to get some sketches of existing robots to give the final design a element of realism and believability to it, so it looks like something which could exist.

Tentacle Chicken

Took me a while to get the chicken shape right, happy with how this turned out. For some reason adjusting the lighting made Photoshop give it a weird grey outline though :s

Tentacles: Sketches etc.

Sketches of a octopus, jellyfish and sea anemone

Sketch idea for a mutant tentacle chicken with octopus like tentacles in the place of its comb and tail.

Sketch idea for a possessed/crazy TV thing with its wires acting like tentacles. I based the colours in its eye on the 'no signal' screen. I probably won't use this as I'm not sure it completely fits the brief. 

Tentacles: Moodboard

Medieval house

UV Unwrapping of a textured medieval house model. I found it difficult to scale down the textures without them looking too big for the model

Dinosaur UV Texturing

360 degree turnaround of the mapped dinosaur, the UV texture map and a still jpeg render below. I had some problems getting both of the dinosaurs eyes to face the same direction.

Outside Lighting

This was my first result where I used a skylight with shadows on and saved the file as a 3DSMax file. After exporting to a FBX however I found that skylights weren't compatible and had been replaced with an omni light, I then edited this omni light adding a a slight orangey yellow hue and adjusting position and brightness to get the result below.

 

Three point lighting troll

Added three point lighting to a troll model using a target directional light for the key light, a omni light for the fill light and an omni light for the backlight

Low Poly Gun

 

 

 360 rotation of the low polygon model gun of the reference below left. Had a problem where on one side I blended the side clip part into the rest of the gun and assumed I undid this but hadn't on both sides.
