Kingston Flyer – Day 1

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

Finished working on the front of the main fuselage, done most of the work on the front bumpery part (I’m afraid I have no idea about the names of parts of trains, if you know what they are, please to tell me so I can get it right)

Still needs a cattle pusher on the front and a chain, also need to put on some pipes (And of course the rest of the train…)

WIP Kingston flyer MKII

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

I’ve decided to redo the model of a kingston flyer I made previously to see how much my modelling prowess has improved. Couple of WIP shots below, I would say it is vastly better than the previous model already and i’ve only just started it!

Front of the trains fuselage,

Greek Jugs modelled from archaeological evidence,

scuffed-done2-copy

The Pots were modelled, textured and rendered in Lightwave 9.6 while the image on the jugs was created in Photoshop.

Mostly done as an exercise in Drawing and texturing, but also to try and work with gradients and opacity in the Node editor.

If you like my work, please check out the rest of my gallery.

Roman Kitchen – WIP

Saturday, July 4th, 2009

I’ve decided to try and copy a scene of a Roman kitchen from my trusty Classics book “Den antika staden – Livet i det klassika Athen och Rom”

I’m going to post various WIP snapshots up here until it is completed.

kitchen-start

No texturing has been applied yet, and the lighting is all wrong, but this is just the main shell of the kitchen area.

Many of the Pots that I have been displaying previously will be used in this shot.

Roman Pots – Gradient Mapping

Saturday, July 4th, 2009

Trying Something a little bit new with this Pot, Gradient mapping. This is where the gradient is used to deterine opacity/visibility of a texture procedurally. Rather fun to do, and nice results quickly.

I think tommorrow i’m going to try a full scene in Lightwave and see what I can come up with.
