After a lot of hard work, I finally have one of my greatest portfolio pieces yet! This is one of my favorite guns of all time modeled and textured for my GRA 202 Final. With this project I used skills like modeling a low poly model, high poly model, and baking normals and ambient occlusion maps using XNormal.

I made a looping animation so I figured there was no better way to show it off than with a looping gif. It took me a while to get it figured out and its a little slower then the actual animation but it looks alright.

Its been a crazy semester and time for a well deserved break. Here is one of my final projects that I just wrapped up for modeling class. Once again, this model tied all of my skills together to create this one awesome looking blunderbuss

After 2 weeks with this project, I have finally cracked the code of what it takes to create normal maps from a high poly model. This model is only 128 tris but looks like so much more, see for yourself.

Once again, we had another assignment to make a game asset using normal, diffuse, and specular maps. This time we had to keep the model below 2,000 tris but we could do whatever we felt like. I made this RPG launcher as it is something I see a lot in games.

This was the second round for learning about diffuse, normal and specular maps in my modeling class. The assignment for this week was to make a rusted barrel.

My first time using normal maps! I am hooked and love how it looks. This is a small cottage I made for my basic modeling class where we learned about normal maps.

I decided to remake an old robot that I had created in Cinema 4D a while ago for another project. Now that I know everything this project needed in 3DsMax I figured “why not”?

In my character animation class, we were tasked with making an animation where a character grabbed onto a object.

My brand new game, Fight and Flight, is now available for free on the google play store. My friend Jeremy Moore and I worked on this game for about a month and a half, I was in charge of art and he did all of the programming. This game is available right here on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.MassiveHawk.FightandFlight&hl=en
