Personal Work

This is the finished Optimus Prime model rendered with real-time shadows using the Madagascar 2 game engine. The final poly count, including the gun, is 23,180. The real-time shadows have some banding and pixelation, and our engine currently cannot use environment maps. Aside from those two issues, I'm pretty satisfied with the results.

I modeled this Optimus Prime for fun based on the Masterpiece figure that was released several years ago. Since I wanted it to be suitable for a game engine, I was aiming for around 10,000 polys. But as I kept on working, I overshot that figure by a lot. Currently, it's at 19,076.

This is a head that I modeled and textured while I was learning Maya. I'm still not too happy with the hair, but I'll probably come back to that later on.

Here's the rest of the body that I modeled with the head above. Next, it's onto laying out the UVs, changing the hair, and texturing.
