Lumberjack Jack head model





This is lumberjack Jacks head model. It also has real hair and stubble which also react in live mode. The concept came from the Sawyer character from Lost.

Final Snow White Model


This is the finished and refined model of snow white. She has real hair which can be set to 'live' mode so that it reacts with head movements.

Wicked Queen


Wicked queen model. Concept sketches coming soon. I decided to give her the good old fashion high neck collar to make her appear a little witch like. Since she is older, her hips are wider. The age should also be indicated on the face.

Lumberjack concept!




This is concept of what the lumberjack/hunter will look like. I have got the concept sketches in my sketchbook which I will scan soon. The idea is that snow white doesnt marry a prince, but a redneck sounding hunter (the same hunter that was ordered to kill her by the wicked queen).

Full story coming soon...

Shrek Arab Style

amazing hair!


wow! i played around with the hair modifier and came up with this! this is also set on 'live' meaning the hair will move and react as the head tilts or moves. Although this will drastically slow down the rendering process (shit)! But, it looks amazing!

3d face test

its only 1 second long im afraid. fully rendered though with hair and skylight.

Snow White characters





I have come up with and finished snow whites head! Her eyelids have been modelled onto the face and morph targeted so that she can close each eyelid. She also has realistic eyebrows and eyelids using Hair and Fur Modifier. Her eyebrows look a little bold so Im gonna change that.

I have included the wireframe version as well. It started off with low polygon sphere but turbosmoothed it alot which may affect rendering time. :(

Rendering suxs!

New Snow White


Here is a new body of snow white. The style matches my sketches and suits the body suits her character as a slim, sexy innocent girl.

Prince's Castle




Here is a concept but potential final castle for the prince. I researched into millions of castle styles and I came upon a french castle that looked soooo perfect to even live in today! I would!! So, despite only seeing one side of the castle, I decided to make the rest up. Its not completely finished yet.

Enironment Concept - Town for Snow White

Concept Environment for odd couple






I have been working on concept environment for my two characters to be in. I have modelled a simple cathedral, castle and cloned houses. I am aware however that the rendering time with a Skylight will take aaaaaages!

Maybe Im being a little too much on the accurate and realistic side. Maybe I should make the buildings more cartoon looking and even simpler so that the characters look the part of the environment. Who knows. further testing in progress.

8000 arrows

This is a test for the particle systems session. I decided to make the particles into arrows instead to get 8000 archers shooting arrows effect.

These are the rough but rendered images of the princess or Snow White. I have used my own design and imported it into 3d Max as reference. This model is however incomplete so no saying its shit!







These are the designs that I have for my five minute animation. This design is a Snow White equivalent princess. The idea was to have the princess and prince together but what makes them odd is that the prince tries to act all charming but he suffers from multiple personalities. He has all the seven dwarves personalities inside him and quite frequently gets outbursts of one of the seven dwarves. However, the seven dwarves act normal. This story is still in production and the prince model is still to come.
