Still moving forward

I must get back to this thing, i have had a busy time getting a few things done for the FS team, and i still have some stuff to do.

But i have figured out a way to get some spare time, and in that spare time i can continue getting this scene set.

So hopefully this'll mean some updates in the future.

I joined Frozen Sand!

Well, i am sorry for the lack of updates here, i recently joined Frozen Sand.
Frozen Sand are the developers behind Urban Terror, the free first person shooter.

The whole team are really nice, and very hard working, they are putting in so many hours for the next iteration of Urban Terror that its unbelievable!

I will be working with the lead animator Frankie V, doing some of the clean up work after him, which is cool!

As said earlier, i am sorry for the lack of updates, but when i settle in and get some work done for FS i will be able to spend some free time on the scene.

Finished rendering the Coffee Table!

Finally finished rendering the coffee table!

Sofa/Couch Render

So here it is at last, the render of the sofa/couch.

I have already finished the Coffee Table, just need that rendering, then it is onto the misc items like the books and things like that.

Sofa

Well, here is my first model made solely in 3ds Max.

It's fairly basic but there it is.

TV & Stand

Well, here it is, the TV & Stand!

I still have a few models to make but i will be getting on with some animation at some point too.

The Chair

Here is a render for the chair, the materials may change for this one at some point, maybe a more shiny surface for the seat will be used.

A Couple of Renders

So here is the render of the table: be sure to watch it in 1080p

It was made in Sketchup then exported to 3ds Max for rendering.

Here is the cabinet.

Same again, made in sketchup then exported to Max.

I have the shelf and the chair to render over the next few days.

Then hopefully by then i will have finished the tv stand along with the tv on it.

Then i will start work on the sofa and coffee table.

Mini-Alyx!

Ok, so it has been a while since the last update and that is because i have been working on the chair and the tv stand. but both of those should be finished soon, then its onto rendering them, then i will get on with the sofa and coffee table.

Its just soooo much work that you don't realize how much time people dedicate to this until you try it yourself.

So to hold you guys off a little longer here is "Mini Alyx! creeping on the desk haha.

Been Busy Making Models!

I made a cabinet and shelf for the scene.

The only issue i can see here is that the cabinet has one main panel instead of three seperate one for the drawers.

My First Render

Hi guys,

So i made my very first render of my very first animation within a scene where i have my very first model!

I am quite happy with the way it turned out. I need to sort out the eyes, and try to get the lighting issues on her shoulder sorted, maybe update the animation itself a bit but i don't think its bad for a first try.

With this blog i will be able to show other renders such as of the models themselves as they are individually made, it will make things much easier for me to show off the new things that i am learning.
