This project was inspired by my love of organ music and Gothic architecture. The environment is built to run in realtime using Unreal Engine 4 with RTX. All models were made in Blender, some had additional detail sculpted in ZBrush and baked down. Substance source came in handy for a lot of material bases and allowed for a lot of flexibility to get the look I envisioned.

Modularity was a big part of the project for me, I wanted to created themes and pieces that could be used throughout the project, for instance the shape of the columns can be seen in the windows, railing, the golden decoration on the organ pipes and even the Organ Stops. Utilizing blueprints and instancing allows this scene to run at a solid framerate for my 2060 using RTX, and even better using Unreal’s traditional reflection model.

The music in the video is Bach’s Fantasia and Fugue in G Minor BWV 542 performed by Leo van Doeselaar, checkout the original video here:

A fun experiment I hope to try in the future is to rig the Organ Manuals(Keys) to animate based on a Midi file, I think it can be done and it would be a really cool effect to see the keys move by themselves to the music.

This Witch was sculpted in ZBrush and rendered in Maya with Renderman. Substance was used for texturing, XGen for hair, Marvelous for the cloak and Houdini for the smoke.

This project was based off of an awesome D&D illustration by Bob Kehl ( bobkehl.com & https://www.artstation.com/bobkehl). Sculpted in ZBrush with minimal modeling help in Maya and rendered with Renderman, all over the last 2 weeks. This was a super fun project that led to the creation of a lot of brushes, insert meshes, and techniques to use in the future. I made this sculpture with printing in mind since it's something I have wanted to experiment with for awhile

This was a quick weekend project based on a sketch by Kevin Keele (https://www.instagram.com/p/BM9WBxnhLqq/?hl=en&taken-by=kkeeleart) I loved the shapes and decided I needed some practice with XGen hair. Sculpted the head in ZBrush, retopoed in Topogun, textured in Substance Painter and rendered with Arnold. I wanted to render with Renderman but XGen had different plans, I am happy with the result regardless. 12 XGen descriptions total to control this ball of hair!

I did quite a bit of prop work for a student film called Vows directed by Mark Mckinsey. I was responsible for a variety of assets as well as three scene environments. Everything is modeled and UV'd in Maya with some simming with Marvelous or N-cloth where necessary.  

Responsible for all models excluding shoes and chair in the first two images. 

This project was done to get accustomed to some proprietary tools in 3DS Max, rendered with VRay and comped in Nuke.
