Nickelodeon's Fit - Wii/PS2

I have recorded next game I was working on - Nick Fit.

I have created several levels (Diego, some Backyardigans and Kai-Lan), which you can see on video links below and many additional objects and paintings such as trophies, medals and props. I also modeled, rigged and animated Zee and Moose, and couple Backyardigans in Romanian suites. I have repainted some textures and created new ones.

Fixed some rigs and skinning on previous models.

This game was very low poly based and fun :)

Animation spots

2010-08-31T02:53:00.000-07:00

I created those two animations 11 years ago as a test of cloth dynamic and facial expression.

First guy is singing a russian song (Morozko) in the czech language.

I am not animator, dont expect breath-taking animation.

Wings of War - PC/Wii/PS2

2010-08-31T02:32:00.000-07:00

I made these models for Illusion Softworks in 2004 (now called 2Kczech - branch of 2Kgames).I made all low poly characters, several airplanes, textures. I also reworked all ground surfaces from PC to PS2 (50k-5k).

Head - PS3/Xbox

2010-08-31T02:23:00.000-07:00

I made this face just for fun in 2008. I used Zbrush 2 and 3ds Max 9.This guy has cauliflower ear and quite annoying scar :) Normal map was generated in Zbrush 2 also.

The building 1 - PS3/Xbox/Wii

2010-08-20T20:17:00.000-07:00

This time I would like to show you how to make a realistic looking building for game engine.
Time: 4 Days, 2120 polygons, 3420 triangles + 360' animation.

Day 1: Concept is done and I have started with modeling. Its always good to know the measurements of the model, so it fits correctly with the other models. Even if the concept looks simple, it doesn't mean it will be simple! So I spent my first day on modeling, and unwrapping later.

Day 2: I exported model to obj and imported to Zbrush. Once your UVs are set up, you don't have to worry about that anymore. Just be careful about subdividing mesh in Zbrush, if you don't have additional edges around outer edges of every object, it will cut off your outer polygons or deform your mesh. If you use Mudbox, you don't have to worry about that, it works fine. Model is imported and I subdivided model to about 20mil polygons. I started sculpting wood, rocks, metal, doors, etc. After that I created Normal map. I always keep textures about 2048pxl, and if its for film quality manners I keep it about 4096pxl.
You can use Zapplink for creating textures, but I decided to make them all in Photoshop separately.

Day 3: I was finalizing and improving textures, trying to put more details and variations into it. I was combining Zbrush and Crazy bump Normal maps together. I rendered out couple Ambient Occlusion and Specular maps. I also have alpha channels. I made 4 textures - 512x512. That's all - and I hope you like it.

4x 512x512 textures

Here is 360' animation: http://vimeo.com/15222836

World of Warcraft - Old style art

2010-06-04T15:21:00.000-07:00

I made this model for fun and its World of Warcraft - Cataclysm art style. I used references from their website to fit the Goblins art. This model presents Goblins engineer cottage. Basically, you come inside to buy a weapons against to Deathwing. I also made a little story for this structure:

Story:
Legendary goblin engineer. The master of builder of bombs and destruction. He join forces with the horde and built his home in the fiery valley. In the fight against death wing he is the process of creating this atomic bomb, a bomb that will be able to deal massive amount of damage to death wing forces. But he would need a very rare raw material that is created by high pressure and high heat of the volcano. the material was bury deep beneath the layers of magma but got churned up upon the Death Wing arrival. Now the legendary engineer is on a mission of his life, to create something the world have never seen before.

Final presentation - Video
Video can be found here: http://vimeo.com/15750896
I did the scene + rig and animations. All textures are painted. My limit was 4-5k triangles.
Here is my reference image I used for this structure.

“No good fish goes anywhere without a purpose”

2009-12-03T19:51:00.000-08:00

Based on feed backs from my friends, I was inspired to do my next digital painting. A step by step tutorial images shown below was used through the standard photoshop brushes.

...final image

...process images

Interior Architecture

2009-10-07T16:46:00.001-07:00

Warm, comfortable and cosy summer house. I made a lot of hires color maps
and procedural shaders.

Final resolution is HD 1080p (1920x1080) and every image took 10hrs to render.
Vray, no photoshop. Video is included in my Demoreel.

Animated Short film

2009-07-27T07:28:00.000-07:00

...me at work :o) I was making Storyboards for new animated short.

Shere Khan - Jungle Book

2009-04-21T20:48:00.000-07:00

Next character I made is The Shere Khan from The Jungle Book.
360' Video included.

Grumpy - Brumla

2009-04-14T06:18:00.000-07:00

I made a 3d model of Grumpy from The Snowhite and the 7 dwarfs.
Skin has a SSS shader, and I use the Hair&Fur for the beard and clothes.
Ground has very simple procedural shader. Video can be found in my Demoreel.

Hand drawing, digital clean-ups and inking

2009-02-26T18:02:00.001-08:00

The Prince Of Egypt! I did several sketches and paintings.
My process was: rough drawing>scan>AI cleanup>PS painting :)
...and little example of my Ducktales comic book :o)

The Emperor's new Groove

2009-02-01T10:43:00.000-08:00

I did this scene from The Emperor's new groove.
I love that style, colors, funny Lama :o) and great humor.
I used Hair&Fur for the roof, the cloth was made in Zbrush.
I wanted to keep it very cartoon, so I didnt make very complicated shaders.

Pinocchio

2009-01-19T14:32:00.000-08:00

Pinocchio's images just fascinate me. I would say that all backgrounds from Pinocchio are absolute masterpiece! It was big budget movie in 1940 around 2.5mil $.
I did the whole scene and video sequence of Geppetto's house,
which you can see in my Demo-reel.

Dumbo

2009-01-04T15:10:00.000-08:00

I was looking for some emotional scene and I found Dumbo. The best movie ever! Very low budget and one of the best animated film. Video can be found in my Demoreel.

Snowhite and the seven dwarfs

2008-12-31T17:25:00.000-08:00

Rob Richards and Me are a huge fans of Disney traditional art. So he gave me idea to make a few CG backgrounds from Disney classic films. This scene is huge! It has got around 30mil polygons. If you look at that close up image, you will know why :) All textures sizes are around 3000 - 8000 pixels and I also plan to make a short animation. Final resolution 15000x3000, render of both images took 20 hours. Video sequence took about 3 weeks to render. Everything is made from original painting - 1937.

The Bobik - TV commercial

2008-12-25T13:24:00.000-08:00

I modeled, textured and rigged that little boy with next two characters Dog and Hedgehog. First animation was done by me, second animation was done by Derek Mabson.

Fire hydrant

2008-12-14T18:04:00.001-08:00

I wanted to make something very simple and I spent around 40hrs to make it. Original size is 3000+ (300dpi). I also made video sequence.

Flashback - I created all art for this free remake and
every image didnt take longer than 3 days. First I created basic 3d scene and
then I painted all details and colors. Check my Demoreel 1999-2007.
