Folly
Caught by a Tentacle
House on the Green
Roller Racer
This is a 3D model based on a drawing by Andrea Pozzo from the book Perspective in Architecture and Painting [Pozzo, 1989]. I modelled it using Houdini and Maya; rendered with Blender.
This is a short study in character animation and rigging. A student project; it uses a sound clip from the TV show Jeeves and Wooster [1990]. The characters are based on those from the video game Day of the Tentacle [LucasArts, 1993]. Made in Maya.
Bernard
The characters are modelled with subdivision surfaces.
Rigging Controls
Pink Tentacle
Armature Skinning
The tentacle can bend, squash and stretch.
Several mouth shapes used to animate speech.
The right hand side of the set—an open window. Objects are curved in a cartoon style.
The left side—a doorway with light shining through.
The environment is made mostly from N.U.R.B.S. surfaces.
Chair
Cloth simulation of the curtains.
Chest of Drawers
A vase of flowers that sway in the wind.
A hand painted texture.
Dolly
The flowers are animated with an armature.
Concept Sketches
These are some 3D models I made for a student animation
project, using Maya. The models were used in an animated
introduction to a (conceptual) TV show about students and social
media—set in an acommodation block called the House on the
Green
.
Student Accomodation Building
Instant Camera
Yak
Thumb’s Up
Bird
This is a game demo in which you race a ball shaped vehicle around a track. I modelled the environment in Blender and implemented it in the Blender Game Engine.
