Robot Ideas

I'm maybe thinking about doing a "combat robot" design, with a more humanoid shape and structure. I want it to look "brutal' though, so it'll have a lot of rough, rigid edges and intimidating "lights: and such. I want it to have a Transformers feel with out it being a transformer....

UFO type 2

Finished the second UFO using collapsed edges, booleans, and made the back drop with indirect lighting

Continuing to improve

I've finally gotten an idea of what do do: I'll make 2 warring "fleets" battle each other. I'm working on the "command ship" of one of the fleets, which is inspired by one of my favorite rap groups. I think it'll look good, but when I finished the ship, I crashed Maya, so..... yeah.

Ncloth

My cloth usage was in the form of a "slimed castle" type of deal. I just made some geometry glow and made the cloth transparent. Simple as pie.

Ufos Evolved

I've decided to revamp the whole project and make a "cooler," more sleek design. I'm going to attempt to make a lens like wrap around of some kind, probably by cutting a sphere in half, duplicating the halves, and merge them to create a sort of field. It'll be cool.

Indie Project: UFOs

I've begun an indie project, which is gonna be something with UFOs. I'm not too sure about how it's going to play out quite yet, but this is what I have in mind. I've given this ship a glowing bottom and sides with a chrome/glass body, and an "Energy" sphere to power it. However, I think about abandoning this craft to make a better one.

Screwdriver on the table.

After some time, I managed to finish the screwdriver. I changed the marble tabletop to a wood one, and took away the key lights. I did the rendering the instructions recommended with the raytrace shadows, and it went well. I personally think it looks pretty good, minus some lighting issues in the hand grip.

Just a few more touch ups

The title says it, I'm still messing with the handle. I need to find the right color balances and stuff, to make it look pretty.

5 Photos from the Scholastic Awards.

 This first photo, which I later found to be called Aries, was THE first to grab my attention. Seeing as I am an Aries, I caught on very quickly to this picture. I liked it even more because it actually shows some knowledge of the constellation and sign astrology by including Mars in the image.

 I enjoyed this image because of it's utter simplicity, yet subtle abstract nature. I mean, why does this man have a space helmet? Is he a business man? It's one to make you think.

 This photo intrigued me because you need a slightly observant eye to see the picture. It's also symbolic, saying that when you smoke you become the smoke. Or. it could be something else entirely, it's very subjective.

 I love nature, clouds being my second favorite thing about nature. I also love rain, and it could be considered my favorite thing from the clouds. So, this picture is kind of like a favorite, except for the next one.

The only thing I love more than clouds are mountains. I thoroughly enjoy our Rocky Mountains, and hold them close to my heart. This image just brings me there in my mind, where I'm at peace.
