Tank

Has been a long time since I last posted here, been busy doing this, that and everything. I have modelled a few things here and there but this is the most up to date and nearer completion.

SD Environment

The famous Splash Damage art test.  Learnt a lot creating this piece from modelling the assets to new texturing techniques. A raw hardware real time screen shot image from 3ds max using dirextX shaders without any lighting or shadows. Last image are textures for the AA12 shotgun changed for the scene.

Maya 2011

Haven't used Maya in a while so had a recap of the new 2011 version as well as do work for my portfolio. Above are high polys which will become low poly real time renders.

Lamborghini Reventon Test Render

Lamborghini Reventon update

Pretty much finished modelling.

Lamborghini Reventon rims WIP

Render using Arch and Design materials to differentiate each component of the rim. The reason for the fan like rim is for when the wheels rotate the rims act like a fan to cool the breaks.

Lamborghini Reventon WIP

My first car... (I wish) ...modelled. Not the easiest car to model but a large learning curve definitely.

Sci-fi Environment

Sci-fi Environment

Modelling props is a good stepping stone and wanted to create something with everything collaborated together so thought about environments. This environment is a tutorial by Richard Tilbury. When I first saw the render I was blown away! I will be applying my own work techniques.

AA12 Shotgun

AA12 sneak peak

Low poly unwrapped and textured with basic ambient occ, diffuse, specular and normal map. The AA12 writing I manually created a normal map in photoshop. Haven't decided on the diffuse for the gun but I'm looking for 2 types of textures so maybe this digital blue camo (will amend of course) and a black metal diffuse map.

Textured in Photoshop

AA12 shotgun High Poly

High poly AA12 shotgun seen in the films 'Predators' and 'The Expendables'. Next is to bake the details, create a few normal maps and a diffuse map in photoshop and create a low poly to put it all on.

Modelled in 3DS Max.

M95 Sniper Rifle

A low poly sniper rifle and accessories crate based on by the lovely M95 sniper (crate made up in my head)

Modelled in 3DS Max, textures created in Photoshop.
Rendered using scanline.

High and Low

A render to show my progress, wasn't going to post anything until its finished but this is my WIP portfoilio :D Using techniques like floating geometry and baking my normals and AO together is a very nice workflow. Diffuse so far are more basic just to get some color onto the model. Hopefully when finished the model will end up in Marmoset's engine Tollbag that I have recently grabbed my hands on (very nice realtime render preview engine).

NASA

Digging up older work :D This was a hallway for NASA headquarters. A series of holding cells I did for Lee in collaboration about 1/2 years ago.

Preview

Just a quick peak of what I'm up to at the moment. M95 sniper rifle modelled in 3ds max, nearly finished the texturing, scope looks very nice textured but im off to egypt tonight and I've found some new techniques to baking and making textures in photoshop so wont be too long.

Luxury

Daily sketch

Beauty or Naughty

Getting back into 2d and concept work, really enjoying it. Recently looking through youtube I found some amasing art on the female body with the intention to help beginners learn the basic form. Whilst reading through the comments I couldn't believe the arguements between this type of nude life drawing to be labled as porn or art hence my title Beauty or Naughty you decide lol.

NEW website

Finally completed my new website! Happy days! - http://www.dinomarsigliese.co.uk/
