Coolest Vehicle Ever

A second version of a Hovercraft, I made for the guys at Blur Studio a few months back. The original was done for the FarCry4 Cinematic. I love this Sport-Decals version better...

VRay testing

After a long time willing to llearn the software, I finally jumped in and got some slick images. I'm really happy with it, I think my MR days are over...

 

 

 

Wally

So here is my Walther P99 9mm Pistol. If you want to have fun modeling something go for this one! Non-mirrored side to side or front to back, it was a hell of fun keeping a nice edge flow

BayWood Red Light

I like to think in vehicles as alive beings. Always raw, powerful mechanical, main characters of my one frame stories. This image is a tribute to the San Francisco Bay Area which I happen to miss very often. Full CG shots, environment and vehicle.

Pagani Zonda Cinque

There is not really much of a difference between this one and a spaceship.
Love it!

CG Environment The Avengers

Here is an article about the work Luma Pictures crew made for The Avengers. I got a good contribution to the CG environment creation in those shots.
Salud!

Lighting tests Underworld Awakening

A Couple of Lighting tests with a challenging amount of animated flashing lights.

GT40 Driver lighting and shading tests

A little bit of shading improvement in this guy posted here and there in the past.

Someone with a driver license?

All right, so what could it be a bad ass car like the GT40, without a bad as driver of the same quality? I took the chance... Check out this awesome race driver that gave me a Zbrush central top row  =)

Mitsubishi Zero Fighter

If you thought I was done with mechanic studies making the GT40 engine, think twice. Here is the WIP of this kick ass plane from WWII. Lots of fun for a modeler =)

American Icon

If you know me I'm sure you have seen this one. It is my biggest achievement so far, Everybody seem to like this car and this model. I got several publications with it and I won the Academy of Art University Spring show, on the Hard surface modeling category. It is in the Autodesk Maya 2012 installer as well. Everything you want to know about it is here:

American Vintage

This is one of the most successful, sexy machines ever created! You are in my blog you have to agree, period! Shelby Cobra 427 1964.

The Bug Crew

This is one of my beloved life projects... I got these idea before A bug life from Pixar. Of course after the movie I didn't want anything to do with bugs. I redesigned all the characters in 2005 and found some inspiration at the Academy of art in 2010 to do a remake. I got involved in a collaborative project with a bunch of really talented students. We came out with these shots after a 5 months of work. I think that is somehow remarkable.
