H2GO! – Capwater Kid

Jacob McKenney, Designer & Artist, Senior

This is a model for the player character of a class game project titled, “H2GO!”. I was challenged by my professor to design and create a simple character for low poly modeling in a program called Asset Forge. This was very tricky to do, as the program didn’t allow much more than basic primitive shapes, but working with these constraints pushed me to make a clean and simple, yet appealing character design. In the game, the kid collects water in the cup that is balancing on his baseball cap.

Starship 3D Model

Isaac Young, 3D Modeling, Texturing and Animating

This work was heavily inspired by modern fighter jets, however I wanted the weaponry to be futuristic. There are laser cannons in on the jet and the afterburners are a futuristic thruster. I also wanted to make the animation as realistic as possible, I included a pre-flight checks sequence as well as a few combat maneuvers. The flaps, thruster, weaponry and all landing gear are fully animated.

Metronomium – Pop Genre

Jacob McKenney, Designer & Artist, Senior.

These are stage backgrounds for a university team game project titled, “Metronomium”. This group of stages represent the Pop genre, with it’s sub-genres being, Disco, Jpop, and Country. The giant clock-like object in each of the backgrounds is a constant reminder of the looming threat of the game’s main villain.

Robot Cat 3D Model

Cailey Calvagna, 3D Artist, Junior

This was my first complex model made in Maya 3D after spending a semester learning the program. I am interested in working as a 2D artist, but I would also like to learn how to model humanoid characters. I think 3D modeling is also useful for 2D art, as the model can be rotated for different perspective references of things that are complex to draw. Overall, I think this project was a good stepping stone into modeling more organic shapes.

Bloody Witch

Ian Behling, leader, Senior

My work is a Evil Witch who takes the skin of her victims in order to hide her true skin. my goal is to be able to make my own games so being able to design and create a character is important.

Mandalorian Robot

Josh Heiman; 3D Modeler; Junior

This work is one of my first 3D character models made in Maya and took over 60 hours to create. Throughout the process I learned a lot from the mistakes I made especially when it comes to perfecting geometry and thinking about moving parts ahead of time so the model is easier to animate. This model represents a big milestone for myself since I want to go into the 3D Modeling field for games and as I progress through different models I am noticing my skills advance to the point where my career goals start to become a reality.
