3D Artist & Animator Demo Reel

Here it is, a demo reel of my 3D work thus far!  All projects while working as a staff 3D artist at Total Immersion.

For added clarification of each project, the various clips contain reference images and/or videos of that project being implemented in the actual augmented reality scenario.

My Work for the Spider-Man AR Book App

There was an iPhone/iPad AR Book application created to coincide with the release of The Amazing Spider-Man.  For the app I modeled, textured, and animated 3D spiders inspired by the 2D logo, modeled Spider-Man's mask, and create other elements to help with the games: a jar to catch the spiders in, web, various colors of spiders, etc.

Augmented Staples Center

I worked on a project creating an augmented reality version of the Staples Center where the roof was removable and you could peer inside to see a King's hockey game, a Lakers basketball game, or a concert (as well as the respectable locker rooms).  I animated the basketball scene and modeled the Jumbotron scoreboard.  I also modeled and textured each locker room.  This application was only viewable at the Staples Center, using a scaled model of the building as the tracker/activation of the app.

My Work for an AMD Racing Game

I textured and animated the driver and jet bike used in this racing game that implements augmented reality.  Show your tablet to the coffee table tracker and activate a racing game.  Shown at CES 2013

Breaking Through Walls

For an event for Google, we created 3D walls that (that tracked over top of the actual walls of the space), when tapped on the device, would be broken down by a wrecking ball, a taxi cab, or an "Android of Liberty" character revealing the exterior skyline.  I animated the wrecking ball and the taxi cab.

Comic Book Brought to LIfe

Comic book brought to life - H8 - Load

I was given an image of a character named Load.  From that I modeled, textured, rigged and animated her (The model was worked on by me and one other person, bouncing between the both of us, so I don't take all the credit).  Load is a character from a comic book who has a super powerful fart.  She screams when she doesn't hear music, so you tap on her head which activates the song.  She begins dancing and when you tap on her again, she releases her powerfully resounding fart.

Project from September 2011

My Work for Wendy's and Animal Planet's Augmented Reality Campaign

Wendy's kidsmeals released animal planet toys that each had their own Augmented Reality game (created for iPhone and the web):  a cat in a living room that chased mice and a ball of yarn; a black lab going after frisbees on a beach; a yellow lab going after tennis balls in a back yard, a chameleon going after crickets in a terrarium; a bird in a cage 'memory' game; and a fish in a tank going after food....  I created the terrarium, living room, beach, and part of the backyard environments, as well as rigged and animated the dogs.  The upper left corner is a video of the games being played on iPhone.

A video compilation of clips from each game being played on the web.





The next video is similar to the last, but it's just a longer compilation of clips from each game being played on the web.

Tic Tac Strawberry Fields

In association with the new Strawberry Fields Tic Tac flavor:  iPhone game where you bounce a strawberry from one "creampoline" to the next without falling in the dirt hole.  I modeled and textured all the pieces.  This was one game in a series of different games created for Tic Tac

Chick-fil-A and Augmented Reality

Here is an example of the work I did for the project:



I textured many of the hero cows, adjusted the model of a generic cow model to represent each hero cow, and I animated the hero cow Decibel.  Decibel is animated in quick animation cycles for gaming purposes, but I strung them altogether for this animation video.

Wendy's and Animal Planet AR games

Another project at work in which I created 3D assets.  There are 2 games that involve a dog (a black lab and a yellow lab), I created its rig and animations and I also created a lot of the environments and environment assets throughout the various games.

Spider-Man AR Book HD

This is an app we did at work for the Amazing Spider-Man...to be released on iPad and iPhone.

I worked on the majority of the 3D...modeled, textured, rigged, and animated the spiders and worked on the modeling and texturing of the Spider-Man masks. (as well as creating other random pieces of the various experiences)

A HERO FOR WONDLA Augmented Reality Flying Game!

Here is a demo video for an augmented reality game created in connection to the book A Hero For WondLa. I modeled, textured, and animated almost all of the 3D elements of this game.

The Search for WondLa blog post

Here is an example of the 3D work I did for the augmented reality game.  I modeled, textured, and animated this flying ship called the Bijou....it's animated in little animation cycles for gaming purposes, but they're all strung together for the purpose of this animation clip.

AR Kinect Demo

This is a demo created showing the kinect system in pieces and then put back together again.  I modeled and textured this piece.

Mastodon

The project I am currently working on is for the next album release of the heavy metal group Mastodon. I'm modeling, texturing, rigging, and animating a 3D computer version of the creature head that will be used in a facial tracking experience.

Coca-Cola and Cowboys & Aliens

This was an advertisement game for the movie Cowboys & Aliens along with Coca-Cola.  Using your movie drink cup,  you activate the wrist cuff "blaster" and attack the alien spacecrafts "Speeders" before they fly away with all the coke bottles.

I modeled and textured the low polygon Speeder spacecraft.
