My work - GL2's adventures on Earth


This piece was created for 3d Modeling I class purposes. First I had to draw a cartoon character of my imagination. Then I had to scan the sketches and in photoshop I scaled the images. After that I imported the images into Maya and started from a cube to create my 3D cartoon character. I think that it is amazing the opportunity that a 3D program can give you to in a way "bring to life" a character that you just drew!

Categories

I was thinking of having a 3D and 2D section on my portfolio. Under 3D I could have sub categories such as 3D Modeling, 3D Animation. Under 2D I could have sub categories such as Photoshop or Graphic Design, Drawing and 2D Animation.

List of my work for portfolio

The work I would like to highlight in my portfolio is:

· Leo, The Lonely Lamp (3D Animation)
· The Airplane (3D Animation)
· The Chase (3D Animation - I haven't yet rendered it)
· The Lighthouse (3D Modeling)
· GL2's adventures on Earth (3D Modeling)
· Lamborghini (3D Modeling)
· Disco Robot (3D Animation). This one I'm not sure if I'm gonna use it for my portfolio because I didn't model the robot. It was given to me by the professor. All the rest were created by me, such as the environment (lights, disco floor,etc) and the whole animation. The reason I'm thinking of using it in my potfolio is because I put a lot of work on it, trying to make it move with the music AND because I don't have another animation like this one with audio.

Also, I'm thinking of using and some of the photoshop projects, and drawings that I have created. But I'm not sure if I'm gonna do it.
