1st 3d print - Valentines Day

Got a chance to 3d print a model that I sculpted for my fiance for valentines day. The good people at Objex Unlimited helped me print this model using their state of the art 3D printers. The material that was used was a translucent acrylic like resin, and it turned out pretty darn awesome!

First Tool in MEL/Python!

  After completing a CGWorkshops class in scripting and tool development, I have gained the skills to write my own scripts that will help speed up my workflows in modeling and rigging. After coming across Akin Bilgic's accurate displacement workflow; http://www.cggallery.com/tutorials/displacement/ I found his method for setting the displacement attributes seem to work the best when converting the zbrush sculpt to maya and vrays displacement shader. However, I didnt want to go through the tedious process of adding the right settings for every geometry object in my scene that needed displacement attributes added to them. So this UI will add all the nessesary attrubutes to each selected object, as well as add a vray shader with the displament node that allows the user to select the .exr file and attach the shader to the object.

Alien Render Fun

Based on a concept by Danik Tomyn , I brought back a zbrush sculpt Ive done some time ago to practice rendering. My main goal was to familiarize myself with displacment mapping with Vray, as well as playing around with the Vray fast SSS2 skin shader. Could have taken this further with the eyes, but I have to call it for now, I'm quite happy with the result and look forward to rendering more with V-ray!
