Well my computer survived rendering 1k+ plus frames but I forgot to make sure all of the elements where visible sore there are no plants or flowers, which is probably why it only took about 12hrs to render. But it was worth i just to see it in actually color and notice things that are wrong, like where doors and windows are not connected to the walls. Time to fix thoes…
This is a quick playblast render of the 3D courtyard video. I hope my computer can actually handle rendering all the frames, its about a thousand…
So about a week ago my dad asked If I would make a flyer for him to but into an Ad Journal that will be given out at a series of Jazz concerts in my town, supposedly around 10k people show up overall. The flyer could only be black and white so I have various version. I wasn't sure if they meant strictly black and white including the gray-scale so I did one that way too as well as a black and white only one too, but here I will just show the grey-scale/color versions I made.

This is my 2008 demo reel, finally done. You can also find it in the portfolio section with a higher res version as well. I'm also uploading it to my youtube account as well. I want to add my most recent 3D work but since it takes a while to render I'll have to add it later.
This is the half size version, check out my portfolio page for the high res version. Click the image below to begin the video.
Well I was having problems with my links working correctly on this site so I decided to officially switch it and took down my old one completely. So now all the links work and I will begin the process of uploading all of my previous work that was on my old site.
This is 3D rendering of my Middle Schools inside outside courtyard. I was requested to do this by my dad who is apart of SOHPS which is helping to redo the area into something like my renderings. I'm going to make a video walk through of it as well, assuming Maya wont crash after each rendering. If you click on image it will open in window inside the page and you can navigate to the other images.

This is my first 3D character animation, or 3d animation ever. I did it all in Maya 2008 and used a character that I made in my 3D modeling class in the spring. I learned allot making this animation, especially about full body IK and how just having it is not enough to make the character look and feel right. Hopefully I will be able to take 3d animation class next fall and apply allot of what I learned to the class.
Also I notice that for some reason the wallk goes black at a certian angle, I havent figuer out yet.

Well it sees making a simple demo reel is taking longer than I expected or then I wanted to spend time on. It also didn't help that I was working on another project for my dad building a 3D court yard of my old middle school, or that my After Effects is not letting me have more then 6 layers of object without is slowing down to an unbearable working speed( even with every memory saving tip, skill, etc.. there is). But I will have it done by the end of this week along with the 3D courtyard.
Currently I'm rendering my simple Robo Animation that I'm going to use in my demo reel. It pretty simple although I think it is not to bad for my first try at 3D character animation. Its good experience and I have sure learned allot about character animation, which will be good, hoping that I get into the 3d animation course at my school next fall.
I also will be working on a logo design for one of my dad clients? I have to check my email for further information and such.
Well that's all for this untimely update.
I'm working on a new demo reel, which would be my third if you count my first which was a super rush job done in one day(for which I didn't really need of course). I plan on having it done in a week so I can apply to some internships I've spotted that hopefully are not taken by the time I'm done or already gone.
OK so I'm going to see how the whole blogging thing works by creating blog portfolio to track my work and stuff. I'm not going fully redirect my main URL here yet until i re-posted most of my work up here but there will be a link to come to this blog. I'm not to big into the while blog thing but the system is setup pretty easy with wordpress doing most of the work for content managing rather then doing it my self. Also since I'm starting to lean away from using more of my web based skills I figure this will take some of the extra work off my shoulders as far as the web goes.
So this will just be considered my first post as I work out how I want my blog setup and to work. I will how ever be designing my own theme so that it can stand out at least a little bit since I'm sure there are probably dozens of other blogs that look exactly like this even if I did modify it a bit.
That's it for now for all the people who stumble upon this page(hopefully not to many yet thou).
