Mansion Exterior

This is going to be one of the opening scenes for my game trailer. I've learned a bit about water and fog dynamics among tons of other things (it's all learning in Maya--oh yes ;).

I'm constantly reworking this scene but I did actually post an animation of the opening sequence in youtube with my favorite Chopin piece (it was initially going to be a DVD intro in case you're wondering about the long pause at the end):

Occult Project

Since my last 'den' project, my computer has been reformatted, stolen, and then destroyed along with my backup. Ahhhh! And so I started again with this brand new project.

This is my new interior scene for my current project: "Occult"

mental ray, fire dynamics were used, along with a lot of bump-maps
