Theese are a few animations produced from the original models
All the following work is practice projects running up to the big finale which should hopefully be a semi decent games trailer! :).
This is my kitchen which originally started out just as a bagel. Over the day it just evolved into a kitchen and eventually a biped walking. The video is purely there to show the biped walking animation and for some reason no matter how many times i upload it the quality is dodgy at the beginning.
This is my X-Wing model. The initial idea was to create something based on star wars. I chose the X-wing pretty much because "It looked cool" and fairly simple to model. I gave it my best shot and came up with that. The fire effect is very poor however i had no idea how to use particle effects so it's just a trial run really.
I created this flag one day after thinking what to create next i thought i would have a go at making some form of material. I chose a cloth like material and turned it into a flag, for this project i followed a tutorial and made my own scenery being the moon. In this scenario the moon appears to have wind.
This is a very simple animation of my double lightsaber. I have made a short animation to show how the lightsaber would work if it was to be "Switched on"
This is the same sort of thing however it features my single lightsaber which was my first one to be made.

3D Studio Max
Over the past couple of years i have been producing various models in 3D studio max. This is all in practice for building up a portfolio of work and building up to the final piece (Making a games trailer).
The following images are work i have created either by myself or with the help/guidelines of a tutorial found via the internet. And some general tips from tutors with regards to texturing and animation.
In no particular order.
This is a glass with water and ice cubes in. Since the render seems to take so long (Nearly an hour) it's still not rendering to what i would like it to look like. This is my best render so far, i will keep playing with the settings to try figure it out. I followed a tutorial to make this and used a fair wide range of tools.
This is a very simple pencil model that i created from a tutorial in a few minutes.
I saw the tutorial for a ninja death star and just had to make one. So that's my attempt. If i were to improve it i think i would need some shiner looking textures to give it a real metalic look.
This is a very popular tutorial that shows how to create a cartoony looking enviroment and then add textures to make it look like it has snowed. It involves using the loft tool to create a path and the trees are formed from very simple cylinder and sphere tools.
This is my X-wing which was part of a unit to create something to do with star wars. In my next post you can see the animation i made after modelling.
This uzi is not fully finised however i have stopped working on it currently. This is for part of our main end of year project to create a games trailer and i chose to create an Uzi as this fits in with a shooting game. I added the bright green to it to give the effect of some form of futuristic alien killing gun.
This was an "hmm im bored what can i make next" moment. I looked about tutorials and saw a nice simple TV so thought i would create it and add my own texture and reflections.
Another cloth modifier attempt just like my flag. I had to play about quite a bit to get it to work but in the end it did. I started to create a scene for it also but got sidetracked when creating my X-wing. This uses basic Modifiers and Collision object settings.
I created my sword shortly after the lightsaber as it seemed quite an easy thing to make. I followed a step by step tutorial and got the shape and texturing. If i was to re create this i would try get alot more realistic looking textures and possibly someone or a biped holding it.
This lightsaber was one of my very first 3D studio max projects. This also fit into our unit to create a star wars themed model, but i couldn't use this as my final piece as it was way to simple. But a very nice way to start of modelling.
This is the start of my kitchen. Which originally started of as just the bagel you can see on the chopping board. It then evolved into a cabinet with a toaster andglasses.
And it evolved some more. I added walls and floors with windows and sky textures. An oven, dishwasher,washing machine And plenty more cupboards. Eventually i added a biped just to test out the walking features.
This is the lightsaber Rank 2. I wanted to improve the handle textures into some form of chrome. I did that then decided to add another end to it to create the famous double lightsaber featured in the film star wars.
This was another one of my very early projects, i found a bench tutorial and followed it to create this very simple park bench. Then added a couple of textures to give it a more realistic look.
This is my most recent project where we were asked to model a character head. We decided as a class that finding someones head of the internet was a bit boring and instead took pictures of a couple of class mates. The model turned out ok and did resemble my friend a little bit. I added a hair and fur modifier to jazz it up a little and ended up with some fairly nice looking blue hair.
