Made in SolidWorks 2016 for a Lighting & Rendering Course back in College. I only made this with a few reference images so this isn’t meant for manufacturing – it’s simply a design exercise!
Mazda MX-5 Miata Surface Modeling Project
Made in Cinema 4D R16 over the span of 30 hours across 3 days. The design is 90% there and could use some more touching up.
Interactive Media Wall at Boston’s Children Hospital
During a semester-long internship, I worked alongside a team of fellow 2D & 3D Digital Media students to support the Interactive Media Wall at Boston Children’s Hospital. We were tasked with creating assets for several new scenes before a summer refresh. All new assets were created in Cinema 4D, the scenes were built in Unity 3D. My responsibilities included character modeling for the Monsters scene, as well as object modeling for the Ant scene and Around the World scene.
Disclaimer – Chipmonk was rigged and animated by Robin Simon in the following videos.
Monsters Interactive Scene –
Here are some renders of my finished character + footage of the final project from when delivered it to BCH.
Hip Replacement
Modeling Lighting & Rendering Class Assignments
This outdoor scene was my final project for Modeling Lighting & Rendering 1 in Fall 2015. Just about all of the materials in this frame were added by hand, and most of the textures were made for the scene using procedural materials methods.
This frog with a Modeling Lighting & Rendering 2 assignment. We were tasked with taking a UV Mapped 3D Mesh and painting it in 3D Coat, exporting an AO map, Normal Map, Displacement Map, and Color Map. These maps were then mapped to a .obj file in C4D where I rendered the frog in a studio lighting setup.
Full Body 3D Scanner V2 Mockup Renders
Having finished my first 3D Scanning Machine , I wanted to try to make another. It’s still a huge WIP, but this time the goal is to have it 100% 3D modeled down to every nut and bolt before I go off and build it. So far the proof of concept renders are fantastic and this is a project I’m looking forward to finishing at some point.
Creature Sculpts
This elephant was sculpted in 3D-Coat for a class assignment
A model of the ‘Jonathan the Husky’ Statue located outside of Gampel Pavilion at the University of Connecticut in Storrs, CT. The initial model was built with photogrammetry, and then cleaned up and detailed in 3D-Coat.
The Great Sphinx of Giza
Modeled in 3D-Coat 4.0 for one of my Digital Media Design courses.
3D Printed Catapult
As an assignment for Engineering 1000 here at UConn, we were tasked with designing a catapult with a price constraint of ~$12.40.
Here was my initial design, which aimed to use a stepper motor to wind back the arm for full auto firing.
Here’s one side of the final design, rendered in SolidWorks
At roughly 5¢ a gram for filament, my design was kept within our price limitations.
Printing successfully on my Replicator 2
Partially assembled, with a randomly toothed gear to see if it fit on the motor.
Unfortunately, as it turned out, the stepper motors we were allowed to use from the provided arduino kit were far too weak for my design to successfully implement it an aim of the project was to keep the Bill of Materials low, and automation was a secondary goal, so instead of opting to buy better stepper motors I decided to turn it in as is.
