Head Sculpt in Mudbox

So I decided to create a sculpt in Mudbox and here it is. This is my first scuplt using this program and I think it came out pretty good.

I was not trying to do anything specific, just whatever came to mind. I will do some more to fine tune my technique.

Old Building in UnReal Editor

Old Building walk-through in UnReal Editor from Armando Juarez on Vimeo.

This is a walk-through of an old building using UnReal Editor 3. The section with the main staircase and the bathroom in the back section are essentially complete, I may add more debris in the future.

The other back sections are almost complete. All the assets where created using Maya and the textures in Photoshop. The resolution (due to Vimeo's compression) in the video is kind of low and the motion kind of choppy in some parts. The UnReal in-game play is smooth and crisp.

This is still a Work In Progress (WIP), I will add more videos as I complete more sections later on.

Bathroom in UnReal Editor

Here is the completed bathroom in the UnReal Editor. I may add more debris in the future but for the most part it is complete. I have added in-game screenshots along with some from within the editor. After I have completed more sections of the building I will add a walk through video of the building interior.

Bathroom in UnReal Editor

More images of the bathroom, added debris and I'm continuing to work on the ceiling.

Sitting Room

Here is another section of the building that is more complete. This is how it appears in the UnReal Editor. To see how it looks in Maya scroll down, this is part of the Staircase scene I created a while back. It includes the bathroom below, a basement, a staircase and this sitting room so far. I just thought I put it in UnReal and build upon it. Comments welcomed as always.

Another image from my work-in-progress scene using the UnReal Editor.

Bathroom in UnReal Editor

This image is of a work-in-progress scene I have been working on in the UnReal Editor. For modeling the assets I have been using Maya and for creating the textures Photoshop CS4. Still have to complete the walls as you can see and add more accessories. This is part of a larger scene I have been working on in UnReal. Comments welcomed.

1968 Mustang Fastback - Update

I recently decided to re-visit an old piece of my portfolio to improve it and bring it more up-to-date. Thanks, "anonymous", for the comments on the Mustang. I completely agree with you in that it is a good piece but not quite finished and that it could be more. The suggestion for a BG and an improved lighting was great and so I did just that. I also added/modified some parts. I hope it is more satisfactory now than before. As always thanks for the comments and if there is anything more that you would like to see or anything that I missed let me know, critiques always welcomed.

Environment Scene: Staircase

Here are some images of the basement level. I have added a few accessories along with changing the lighting. I still have to texture some more items and perhaps add a few more accessories. I am trying to keep the scene as low-poly as possible. It's coming along.

Environment Scene: Staircase

Here are some images of the staircase, I have added some furniture. I will post some more later in the week.

Environment Scene: Staircase

Here are some more images of the staircase scene.

Environment Scene: Staircase

Here are some images of the Staircase scene I had been working on. Along with the initial view of the staircase from the picture I also modeled what the lower level and upper level could look like. Here are the totals for the work completed:

Mesh file size: 1.28 mb

All textures size: 4.40 mb (5 mb limit, low-res-2048 X 2048)

Polygon count: 17,268 (30,000 limit)

Time of completion: 2 Weeks

Since I put a good amount of time into this scene I would like to add more items to it. I will do so over the next few weeks. Like any other scenes or items that I have worked on it seems like I could keep adding things onto it and still never be finished.

Environment Scene: Staircase

Over the past two weeks (from January 26 through February 9) I have been working on an environment scene that was supposed to be based on this picture. I was only supposed to create the environment and not the people in the picture.

The scene is now complete and I will post pictures soon.

Environment Scene: Neon Graveyard

For a future environment project I wanted to create a scene based on this concept art of a Neon Graveyard.

Batmobile - Work in Progress

Here are my latest Work In Progress images of the Batmobile. As you can see I have been working on the background a little more now. For now however I am putting this project on pause for a few weeks to complete an environment art assignment. After that is complete I will come back to this and put the finishing touches. I think its good to take a pause and step back from this project for a now because when I come back to it I should have a good fresh perspective on it. I can't wait to get it finished though.

Batmobile - Work in Progress

Here is my latest work in progress, I have added a specular map, a normal map, added more detail to the wheels and wings along with tweaking a few areas here and there. Also I have begun to work on a background. I will include as much detail as my slow computer will allow. :)

Batmobile - Work in Progress

Here are the images of my work in progress so far. I have textured almost all of it except the nose. I also want to add more detail to the Batwings and fix a few other parts here and there. It is almost complete.

Batmobile - Work in Progress

Here is the texture of this Batmobile so far, I have the wings and hood to take care of still along with other odd peices.

Batmobile - The Wheels.

Here is a quick work in progress; I have been so busy with UV-ing and texturing the Batmobile that I have not had much time for posting anything. Here is a quick render of the back wheels, the color of the hubcap will be different.
