Here is the latest, been working on this one on-and-off for a few months. Base mesh was done in Maya, sculpting in Zbrush, texturing in Photoshop, rendering with Mental Ray in Maya, and compositing with Fusion.

Here is my new creature as based on a concept by Kemp Remillard.

The base mesh was modeled in Maya, sculpting was done in Zbrush, texturing in Zbrush and Photoshop, rendering in Maya with Mental Ray, and final comp done in Fusion with some minor post in Photoshop.

The whole thing took about 2 weeks on-and-off to complete. Any crits or comments are welcome.

Here is a character of my own design that I have been developing on and off for a few months.
I modeled the base mesh in Maya, sculpted in Zbrush, and then rendered in Maya with Mental Ray and split the image into 14 passes to comp in Fusion.

A tutorial on how I created this character is featured in the book "Digital Art Masters: Volume 3" available here:

This is the third creature I have completed in my creature development class that is being taught by Alex Alvarez. The model is based on a concept called "Creep" and is also from Jerad Marantz.

I modeled the base mesh in Maya, sculpted in Zbrush, and then rendered in Maya with Mental Ray and split the image into 8 passes or so to comp in Fusion.

This is an updated version of a creature I completed for my Character Development class which was later featured in a BOXX Technologies ad in Post magazine. The ad has also been used in BOXX ad banners that have been circulating on CGtalk, highend3D, and 3Dtotal.

Base mesh was in Maya, sculpt in Zbrush, rendering with Mental Ray, and comp with Fusion.

A while back I had a concept design class with Jerad and I ended up becoming a fan of his work (also learned quite a bit in the class as well).

Right now, I am in a creature development class which is taught by Alex Alvarez. The class lasts 10 weeks and we have a creature due every 2 weeks fully modeled, textured, shaded, rendered, etc and this is what I finished for the second creature.

I started with a basic poly-mesh in Maya and then exported the mesh to Zbrush. I also painted the textures in Zbrush and used Mental Ray in Maya for rendering. Fusion was used for compositing and Photoshop for some level adjustments.

This is another creature I created in my Creature Development class that is taught by Alex Alvarez. It is actually the first creature I did for the class, and is based on a concept by Jeff Hoffman.

I modeled the base mesh in Maya, sculpted in Zbrush, and then rendered in Maya with Mental Ray and split the image into 9 passes or so to comp in Fusion.

This is a WIP that is based on an excellent concept by Raphael Lacoste.

The modeling was done in Maya, texturing in Photoshop, and the rendering with Mental Ray, in which I primarily used spotlights and directional lights.

The final comp was done in Fusion.

Here is an older work of mine that stemmed from browsing through Flickr one day. I came across some cool photos of some spiders and decided to try to re-create one of the photos in CG.

I modeled the spider and the flower in Maya and then sculpted in Zbrush. The render was done in Maya with Mental Ray I comped the final image in Fusion and did some minor color correction in Photoshop.]]> Thu, 31 Jan 2008 06:47:31 +0000 http://sanjaychand.cgsociety.org/gallery/519227

This is a corridor around where my school is. The real corridor is made of concrete, but I figured giving it a brick and wood treatment would be more interesting.

The scene was lit with direct illumination (mostly directional and point lights) and comped in Fusion.

This image was created from reference photography from an alley behind my school. I used the photography as reference for modelling but I decided to texture and light the scene in a more interesting way.

This image was inspired by a photograph I saw that I used for reference during a caustics excercise.

The image was rendered in Mental Ray and post was done in Photoshop.]]> Mon, 11 Sep 2006 20:51:37 +0000 http://sanjaychand.cgsociety.org/gallery/596131

Here is my entry for the "Haunted Hallway" lighting challenge. The model is by Dan Wade. All texturing, shading, lighting, and comp work was done by me.
