"Folkvar: Battle of Ragnarök" is a 2D/3D animation taking place during the era of Norse mythology. It tells of a story written in legend of a great warrior, Folkvar, who was both respected and feared by the people he ruled and fought. But of course, all glory comes with grand consequence. Our hero is met with an ultimate challenge, fighting against the god of thunder, Thor.

When I met with Red Eye Photo Booths on giving their site a revamp look they were still using Microsoft FrontPage to update and make changes to the website, that quickly had to change and was able to update their software and technology uses. We worked through the weeks to come up with a design that they were looking to accomplish but were limited on knowledge of software. Some of my services provided included:
The owner of L.E.A.D.E.R. Football Camps came to me asking what could be done, web related wise, to promote his camps of helping young athletes become leaders both on and off the football field. This website and business was worked on side-by-side from the ground up, for example the logo was created during the process of this design. We put time into having the look of the football field to quickly understand what L.E.A.D.E.R. stands for. Some of my services provided included:
The following 3D model is my personal depiction of a werewolf, a strong muscular form beyond that of a human being. This model was based off personally drawn concepts and modeled within Autodesk Maya. The model is also fully rigged for movement by a skeleton and bone structure throughout the models ligaments. A custom pelt pattern is placed across the entire wolf to give it a sense of depth along with Maya's fur generator on top of the pattern. This was a concept to fully functional model project in 3D Character Development.
This 3D castle model is that of a completely sculpted environment with a strong Japanese influence on the castle itself. The enviroment was based around the concept of a "floating island" that the castle sits on linked by the surrounding towers. Each tower, castle doors, detailed skull, etc was created and modeled in Autodesk Maya. This environment is not fully textured but was primarily focused on the modeling and not the texturing.

This is a very simplified but detailed representation of our solar system. Each planet is accounted for with each plant's set number of moons. Each planet has a custom texture pertaining to the given descriptive discoveries over history. To give it a even further depth, each planet has an applied bump map to express the craters and extrusions of the planets. In the animation, each rotation is taken into account of how the planets would react moving around the sun.
