Aviatik Berg

I wanted to do some hard edge modeling after the hippo so I decided to tackle my first airplane.  This is a Aviatik Berg, used by the Austrians in WWI. I got the blueprints from www.the-blueprints.com which has tons of different prints and orthographic views for many objects. 

More Hippo

Pretty much done with the base model. Now I'm going to throw it into mudbox and add more details

Griffith Park

One of my favorite places in Los Angeles so far.  It has an observatory, the zoo, and many trails to go hiking.

A few ted talks from some of the big shots in the film industry:

Jeep

I found this drawing and decided to stop being a bum and model it.

  Took about 3 days since I'm pretty rusty.  I took some screen shots to explain the process.

First made the front bumper to get familiar with Maya again

Started making the frame by planar modeling. The whole main body of the Jeep is one mesh

Made the tire tracks by making three cubes and then doing a duplicate special around the tire
