Bright Lights in the Room! ...or Maya?

Okay so we've been learning Texturing, Lighting and Rendering in class for the last week and I just want to post some of the work I've done.

Pool Ball

Our first task of the week was to light a sphere and then texture it to look like a pool ball.

Pool Table

I took the first task a step further and built a pool table and some extra balls and then lit them. I quickly discovered how much harder lighting the scene becomes when you have more objects in it. 

Fruit Bowl

Last but not least I just finished texturing the fruit bowl assignment we were given to light today. I find myself tweaking for hours to get it right, even the most minute setting changes can totally alter how light effects the scene.

Legend of Korra

Why?? Because Legend of Korra was Awesome, that's why.
I really love the art style and character designs of that show. So I decided to practice drawing from it. I'm not super happy with the colouring but its late and im kinda tired at the moment. Maybe I'll fix it up later. I put it as a progression from sketch to coloured. Why? I dont know I just thought it looked cool that way.

The Results of De-motivation

Okay I hate to admit it but I've been extremely demotivated lately. I mean between work and school I haven't had a lot of time. And I haven't posted any work in over a month. Just finished my animation assessment last week too. Still waiting on my results. But I'm working on a couple of little things at the moment to build my motivation back up.

Here's my final animation. The task was simple, choose an action from the list and build a story around that action and then animate it. The story had to include an objective, conflict and then resolution. Our minimum number of frames was 375 or 15 seconds. My action was opening a door.

Anyway Enjoy. I hope to be posting more stuff again soon.

Patience is a Virtue!

Okay! After 2 and a 1/2 days and a lot of patience I finally finished my latest piece!

Over all I'm pretty happy with it. By far its the best work I have ever produced. It has a totally different feel to all my other works but I really like it.
