Maya Re-pathing Texture links

January 5, 2020

We’ve all had it happen. You download a 3d asset or get a file from a friend, and all the texture links are broken. Using the “File Path Editor” can fix all of the textures links at once.

I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned Blender before. It is an open source 3d software package. It offers a fully complete 3d pipeline tool–modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing and motion tracking, video editing and 2D animation pipeline. Continue reading “Blender 2.8”

“The Last Stand” artwork

October 6, 2019

This is the latest piece I was working on this week, “The Last Stand”.

I was going for a War of the Worlds feel.

I used Kitbash3d’s free Warzone kit and Vehicles: Tanks kit.

Here is the pure render with Redshift. I used Redshift’s fog to start building depth.

Here’s a timelapse of me working on the piece.

Speedtree and Redshift

September 2, 2019

Let’s take a speedtree pine tree and export it to Maya. We will also change it’s shader to a Redshift material and make a low resolution version and variant versions as well.

Project Icarus

June 30, 2019

This was a fun little concept solely to start messing with Marvelous Designer. Granted it’s a very simple use of Marvelous. I was thinking of Raiders of the Lost Ark Pangrazio shot, a little of Hal from 2001, and Timeless show.

I used Maya, Marvelous Designer, Arnold Renderer, and Photoshop. Here’s a quick breakdown of my process.

Marvelous Designer

June 16, 2019

Here’s a very basic introduction to Marvelous Designer. I’m going to be tinkering with it more so you’ll see more on this great program.

TerrainParty with Texture Deformer

May 27, 2019

We’ve discussed Terrain.party before, but I wanted to show it here for scouting and then baking out the heighmap to create simple geometry to work with.

WIP Redshift and VDB volumes

March 25, 2019

Did a little exploration. I was demoing World Machine to my class and thought why not do something with it again. I wanted to test using VDB volumes in Redshift so why not combine the two. I’ll do another post detailing using VDB volumes. This is by far not finished but a fun exploration.
