Aventador update

Getting there. Just need to finish up the back and add some details, plus spend a little more time on the tires.

Haven't posted in awhile..
Here's an Aventador I'm working on. Might do an A-10 after.

Plane Update 2

Getting so close to being done. I'm at the point where I'm just going through reference images looking for pieces left to model.

Update

Wow I haven't posted on here in awhile.

I've been busy working on an airplane model for a movie pitch. Can't say much more about it.
My website has some full shots of it:

Just finished figuring out the bottom part (mostly). Took some creativity with the edgeloops, but I think the result is good enough.

H&K UMP WIP 2

Decided I should probably finish this since I'm nearly done the high poly.

MBT Firewalker

Finished modeling the Ferrari, which is almost good to go for my demo reel.

Now I'm going to work on this mech-ish tank contraption from a concept of this envy-inducting talented individual: http://karanak.livejournal.com/

Getting close to finishing it. :D

Ferrari 458 Spider WIP

Working on a Ferrari model to add another car to my portfolio so I can to apply to some car modeling positions.

I'd like to eventually model and rig it to the point where I can animate the roof rotating backwards to turn it into a convertible, and model the interior as well, plus maybe the engine.

What I got so far:

R.I.P. Steve Jobs

I never post non-art related blog posts here, but without Steve Jobs, 3D might have been where it is today. R.I.P. <3 (Picture totally stolen from a forum.)

UMP .45 W.I.P

I needed some hard-surface modeling in my life. :P

Once I'm done the high-poly, I'll make the low-poly and bake it, then I'll get to texturing. After that, I'm considering applying for work on a mod while I work a "regular" job, so I can build up some experience while I apply for modeler jobs.

If anyone is interested in the progress, I have a thread on NGHS:

Old speed model

Had this lying around from my course at Cap.
The modelers had to model the new batmobile in 3 hours. My result:

Practicing characters

One of my instructors at Capilano University thinks I can "model the crap out of anything hard-surface", and so suggested so organic stuff instead. :P

I'm not comfortable at all with organic modeling, so I thought it would be good to follow the Joan of Arc tutorial, and after I'll try my hand at a whole new character from some concept piece.

I might rework the body to make it more anatomically correct, or save the the correctness for a later model and just worry about finishing the tutorial. Still deciding..

What I have so far:

STAP Work In Progress

As mentioned in a previous post, I'm working on a STAP for my droid. I'll be texturing it, then pose my droid with it, and do some lighting..and all that cool stuff.

M1 Abrams

Just remembered I had this lying around from Cap Uni.
I get the feeling modeling an M1 Abrams is a sort of rite of passage for hardsurface modelers the same way sculpting the Hulk/Batman/Hellboy is for ZBrush artists, so I'll definitely be finishing this off in the near future. :P

Bugatti Veyron...WIP

Meh, not a ton of effort put into this one. I'm labelling it a work in progress because I'll probably end up revisiting it and improve it.

Default occlusion preset pass ftw?

Updated Droid

I actually updated the textures right around grad (late April), but completely forgot about it...So here's the updated version of my droid. :D
It's pretty much only more scratches, but I think it looks a little better. I also plan on finishing the speeder I was modeling for him, which I'll try to get done soon-ish. (Still got other projects I'm working on..Maybe I should just stick with one..)

Airport Hangar (work in progress)

Thought I'd post this before I'm off to Holland for 3 weeks.

Based on this image:

(Still a few proportion issues I need to fix.)

Moment of Glory

Figured I'd post this here. :D

I'm an editor for eXtelevision, which does "eSports" coverage, and we have a series called "Moments of Glory" which are videos made from clips that players send in. If an editor likes a clip submission, they'll record and edit it, and then it'll be posted on the eXtv channel.

Pretty much all of the clips are from Team Fortress 2 scrims/matches (no public server footage is allowed), but we are trying to expand it to Quake Live, and maybe more.

Anways, here's the latest one I did:
