In my modeling class we have been learning about textures and unwraps (a review for me). But last class for homework we were given a texture atlas and told to build something that used the texture. Here is the texture and my product.

For the last two weeks of my animation class, we have been working on a very long animation. This animation features a samurai going through his sword swinging technique. Here is the result.

Here is a screenshot of the work I did for my basic modeling class. We had to use 3dsMax to make any 3 models we wanted. I did a chair, some creates and a Gatling gun.

My next assignment for my animation class was with the character tool. We learned how to make body parts stick where they are with “set keys” or “sliding keys” so this assignment was to make use of those. I chose to have my character climb a cube and shake his hands off once he was up there. See for yourself!

It has been almost a month since I posted last but I am all settled back at school and I am ready to share what I have been working on. Most of my classes this semester are all very closely related to game design so there will be a lot of relevant stuff coming very soon. As for now, here is a render of my 1st ever college animation assignment. The prompt was to create a 100 frame animation that give 2 objects life and have them interact.

If you click over to the Games page you can find a list of all the games that I have helped create! Take a look and try out the award winning game: Pavilion Pummel!

On the 9th, my team and I took home 1st place at the “Gamestock” competition held at the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion. The competition was to create a game that took place at the venue in some way. From around April to June Massive Hawk and I worked on this game and it payed off for us! You can play the game here!

The modeling for this new mobile game is starting to wind down a little, which means the game will be done pretty soon! I’ve been working on environment assets in the couple of days so here is a farmhouse that will litter the ground and surrounding.

I have been very hard at work on this next game and I have some more models to show you. There is only one programmer and one artist (me) so making all of the assets is very time consuming, however, we are hoping to have it done by the end of August. Here are a few more assets to enjoy in the meantime.
 

I’m starting a new game! Hopefully it will be done somewhere around the end of August and be published on the Google Play store. Here are 2 art assets which might give you an idea of what it’s about. More to come!
