  Tuscany, Italy Render

This is a render of a balcony in Italy. Still a WIP, I plan to add a cast iron bench, a table, and a lamp on the wall. The second "detail" panel will be the cast iron bench, showcasing the design on the side. Click for full resolution.

Modeled in 3ds, rendered in Vray. I plan on doing a few more renders and showcasing them similar to this design.

  2 New WIP Environments

I have 2 new environments Ive been working on. The first is an alley set in Vienna, Austria. It has a dirty grunge theme. I plan on doing some similar outdoor environments from different parts of the world. You can see it here.

The second is a Japanese room. I wanted to start trying to learn to make more realistic interior shots, so here is my first attemp.

I did not do any of the modeling for the Japanese Interior. I did the lighting, shaders, textures, and render.

Both scenes are modeled in Maya and rendered in Mental Ray with a Sun/Sky setup with Global illumination. View it here. Also, a version with different flooring.

  Einhander

I started a new project recreating the ship from a Playstation 1 game called "Einhander". Check out the gallery.

I will eventually create a short cinematic with it sort of like an intro to a game. I am not sure if I want to do the animations and special effects, so if anyone is interested let me know...
