3D Portfolio
This page contains several series of images of projects I worked on in grad school or shortly thereafter.
You'll find most (in not all) of these examples to be either outdated or quaint. The reason for that is that I'm bound by an NDA that bars from updating my 3D portfolio. I hope you enjoy them nonetheless.
Simple Face Animation Test
I limited myself to no more than 45 minutes to complete each one of these facial animation tests. On the average, each animation was completed in about 20 minutes. I used one of the animation files found in the super-awesome book Stop Staring: Facial Animation Done Right by Jason Osipa. Below, I have listed the playblasts from the resulting animations.

"Trippe, Man-eating Plant"
Character design process:
- Modeling time = 2:18 hours
- UV layout time = 1:44 hours
- Texture time = 1:46 hours
- Skeleton/IK creation = 35 minutes
- Controllers creation/setup = 2:01 hours
- Blend shape time = 1:16 hours
- Enveloping time = 1:53 hours
- Total Time = 11 hours and 33 minutes
- Number of controllers = 24 controls with 91 keyable attributes (arms, fingers, head, body, legs, feet, speaking, eye emotions)
- Number of Blend shapes = 17
- 512 x 512 texture resolution
- Polygon count = 1718 (proxy cage)
- Model, textures, skeleton and lighting done in Maya 5.
