Zé's House

Listening to: M.O.V.E. - Bust the Future Wall (move into the rockin' beat)

Just a small modeling exercise i had to do for yesterday's class. We were given the task to model this house on Softimage XSI, and I can honestly say that it was the worst ordeal i had in months, plus, by the end of the class i was nowhere near finishing it.

Today i decided to redo the exercise... in Sketchup! :P It only took me about half hour to get to this basicaly, then i spent some time messing with the V-Ray plugin to get some nice sun shading renders.

I understand the "why" behind the exercise on class and I'm able to foresee where i can possibly use those techniques, but when it comes to architectural modeling, i think I'll stick with my actual tools...

S.T.L Wallpapers

Listening to: Fluke - Switch / Twitch

1680 x 1050 | 1600 x 1280 | 1280 x 1024 | 1024 x 768

Another piece of boredom done. Quite slicky imho. Sometimes, the simplest things are the better looking ones...

1600 x 1280 | 1280 x 1024 | 1024 x 768

And another version of the S.T.L. 01 wallpaper, for people who likes a less graphic intensive image.

Living Room Model

Listening to: Art of Trance - Blue Owl


Some days back in the week it was assigned to at my post-graduation 3d modeling class that we modeled a living room. complete with furniture, decor and electronic devices. Then apply the correct lightning to the scene, shaders and in the end animate a camera showing it around.

It was a quite simple project, and somehow i didn't feel motivated to make it at the due time. As result, i ended up delivering a quite simple scene concerning only the asked objectives, with no care for details and design. I was quite frustrated with it to be honest.

So, during this free week we got from the course, i started making a new scene, giving the same amount of attention i give to any project that i develop. Since its quite a simple scene, i focused on the little details that will make it shine. Most of the modeling is done as you can see...

Personal branding...

Listening to: Linkin Park - 1stp Klosr

Long, and mean really long time ago, i started to make a sort of brand to represent myself and be imprinted/used over my works. Tedious nights and failed attempts leaded to many variations of it, but i was never happy...

But this is the ONE.

I really doubt that I'll make or go any direction differently from this one. It's previous version has been on use since '99, and with just a slightly update i got something that really pleased me...

Also, i made some semi-3d versions of it, for random use...
