Sony Online Entertaiment Mentor Project

During this quarter at school, I am taking a Pre-Production class that involves both the game art students and us media arts and animation students. The game art students are building a node for their prototyping mentor in the style of Ever Quest 2 for the SOE Mentor Program. Us animation students are designing, building and animating characters to put into  the game art students node. The idea is that a group of dwarves are mining for some precious metal when they stumble upon a cave in which a Feral Rat Race have been digging out and overwhelm and kill all the workers. My job in the group was to design the Feral Rat race which is based upon Ever Quests Ratonga race which are also rats. Included are all the iterations up to this point for the project. More to come later, including weapons and other versions of armor and dress.

Material and Lighting Project

This was my first project where I had to texture a piece of geometry in Maya. I used a simple arc and a detailed texture to see if I could make it look real. Tell me what you think

VFX Composite

This is my first composite using Maya Fluid/Particle effects to create fire, then composited over a greenscreened recording of me acting out the actions. Will probably play with it some more and tweek it, but this is it so far. Enjoy.
