I think this one is pretty self-explanatory:

Houses

We learned Maya Paint Effects last week.  Among other things, it lets you put plants, trees and other organics in your image without having to model them.  Initially, this seemed great, but the novelty quickly wore off and now they feel like the 3D modeling equilvalent of clip art.  That said, our assignment was to make an exterior.  Here are both the Ambient Occlusion (AO) pass and the version with Paint Effects (click to embiggen):

Animatics

In the past few weeks I created animatics for two of my classes.  Now that mid-term deadlines have passed, I have time to post them.  Bear in mind, both of these are first drafts.

Back to Back to Work

I'm on a tear with this show!  First of all, I received a shout-out from Merlin Mann for my audio sampler.  Which is amazing.  And then they asked for artwork for the newsletter.  And I didn't hesitate.  Because I'm an artist.  Because I've been making art.  It's that simple.

Anyway...

Back to Work

Inspired by micahw156's Bulk Bag/ Bleu Toot medley, I've made the flip side to that coin.  This is an introductory sampler based on Episode 1 of Back to Work.  This one is for people who've never heard the show:
