Summer Quarter 2012: 3-D Modeling

For the Summer Quarter, I took my first 3-D animation class that utilized Studio 3D Max as the program.  I've never used a computer 3D program before and it shows painfully in projects for the class.  Maybe it's being trained in 2D techniques all my life that it seemed so hard.  I don't know, but the projects for the Quarter aren't my usual, but here for critique and history:

 Bender from Futurama (or my attempt at him)

 Flower

 Spray-can (the deluxe Sam's Club/Costco version)

 Diner Booth Recreation

 Diner Book (Reference Photo from Google search)

 Flower Pot

 Kitchen Render (From reference photos) Midterm Project

 Bedroom Render Final Project

Summer Quarter 2012: Drawing and Anatomy: Celebrity Transformation

For this project we had to choose a celebrity not specifically well developed in the muscles department.  We could pick someone overweight or thin and transform them into a muscle-clad superhero type.  I chose Ron Howard from his time on "Happy Days" and morphed him into a Conan-like warrior.  Vine charcoal and compressed charcoal on drawing paper.
