Museum - Old Work

A collection of old work showing my early development

Here is a compilation of some of the renders I have completed over my first years of 3D modelling. While my early renders are not comparable to my more recent work, they show a clear progression in skills and artistic vision.

Modelling>TexturingComposition, Lighting and Rendering

1 ) My first render

HST by a lake

No textures were used here, the mesh being cut up to apply different materials. The topology is bad, with many random tris breaking edge flow.

2 ) Stylised Low-Poly Car

AW11 Render with a low-poly aesthetic

A render of one of my friends' favourite car with a purple aesthetic. There are many visible tris towards the front, with visible stretching.

3 ) First Guitar

First attempt at modelling a guitar, Fender Mustang

Originally designed to use toon-shading, all the materials are diffuse. I learnt a lot modelling this, though the final model has bad topology.

4 ) Class 68

Class 68 crossing a dam

The colours on this render are quite bad, but I like the overall composition. The models themselves are good however.

5 ) First attempt at photorealism

Remade Fender Mustang Thinline in a scene

Looking back at this, I can see many places for improvement in the materials. Especially, the roughness of the paint and chrome is too high. The models themselves had particularly unoptimised topology.

6 ) First EEVEE Render

Stylised Class 45

I used a smoke simulation for the first time in this render, and the Blender compositor to apply post processing effects.

7 ) Remake of 2

Remake of 2

The colours are a lot more coherent in this version, and I am a lot happier with the outcome. I also improved the waves in the water, and the material used. This shows how much weight is put in the materials and lighting, as it looks a lot better though the models have not changed.

8 ) 4CIG

Stylised 4CIG EMU

This is in the same style as 4, rendered in EEVEE. The colours in this one came out well.

9 ) Cartoon stylised guitars and gear

Collection of toon-shaded guitar equipment

Low poly guitar equipment with cartoon block colours, rendered in EEVEE.
