Stalagmites/Stalactites

Dunes 3

Another Blendshape Excercise.

Dunes 2

(Some more developments thanks to our amazing T.A. George for showing me how to setup blendshape and animation snapshots)



Experimentation with lofting. This time I created a blendshape with a snapshot animation for the components inbetween.
After this a lattice was used to manipulate the series of forms as a whole.

More Rabbit Holes.

Dunes

First experiment with lofting curves (inspired by sand dune formations)

'
Brought into MAX. I'm not sure what I did but it turned into pipes.

Intensity of the Orange Slice: First Round

Exploration of Form as means of Play

Ideas for surfaces as play areas for kids, as material and landscapes. Had some questions regarding better rendering tips using mental ray, such as recommended material specs and lighting. I just used the standard Physical sun and sky generator (i love MR Sun...) but I'd like it to be less...washed out. Suggestions?

Jay's Experiment

A rendered version of the previous wireframe model.

Wire Frame

Just the wireframe of one piece I was having gun with.
