This is the construction vehicle model of the Skytrak forklift 6042 model. I created this to look exactly like the photo. The top is the finished version. Notice that the finished animation has different lighting, softer shadows, and as well as ambient acclusion added to the car paint texture giving even shadows between the objects on the Skytrak forklift and adding grain/noise as well. I like the way it turned out.




Rendered Image of the progress of the Skytrak model.



Interior Kitchen

This kitchen image is called the mia_arancio. The top is final render I modeled and textured based from the original image. The bottom is the original image. I also tried to base the lighting form the original but some of the lighting is weird. I need to work with it.

More Texture/Lighing Work - Vehicle Modeling and Structure

The car model was provided. I created the textures and lighting but also had to work with reflection using self-illuminated planes. A short project.



FSU Michigan Adventures Project: Corkscrew Motor

This is a model of the Michigan Adventures Corkscrew Engine. This was a volunteer project. I put more work than needed into making it look exactly like the photos. The textures weren't that great so I render it without them with improved lighting.

Working with Texture and Lighting

This is where I worked with texture and lighting. The models were provided and I created and applied the textures. I used Mental Ray and Standard Scanline.



Up and running!

Okay my blog site is up.
