hard surface

projects DEPICTING hard surface objects

Hard surface 3-D modeling and surfacing was my introduction to professional CGI and I have always had a nerdy tolerance for simply making a realistic 3-D model of a thing. I just like making 3-D models. Having mastered photo realism, I can also make anything else that can be imagined. I have a special interest in any sort of vehicle or thing with wheels. Many of the real objects in these projects were CAD data or raw 3d scans provided by the client which I retopologized to make into entertainment ready polygon modeled assets. Nowadays, I often use AI to do the final rendering instead of a traditional 3-D approach.
