Fashion Collection – Top Hats
The gentlemen’s collection of toppers and accessories. I love history, and in my own projects I’m constantly having to research and build old models (architecture, furniture, etc). There are plenty of modern and futuristic 3d [...]
Introducing the Historic Houses of Candy Lane – Mini-Project
The cardboard boxes are beginning to stack up around me and our next move is approaching. As we move from El Paso back to my home town of Houston, Texas I must confess that I [...]
Autumn City Hall – Update 24
I modeled the stained glass window to a point that I'm happy with. I experimented with different saturations and values, but this was the most accurate representation of real stained glass I could get. I [...]
Autumn City Hall – Update 23
My motivation has gone up and down throughout the process, especially as it gets harder to tweak because of the size of the file. That's why it's necessary for me to find different mini projects [...]
Autumn City Hall – Update 22
Things are getting pretty heavy now. Face count is pretty high and my computer is stuttering. Here's an update on the look of the entire front. I have a majority of pieces mirrored, but not [...]
Autumn City Hall – Update 21

Autumn City Hall – Update 18
Lots of distractions recently, but here is one of the most recent shots of the front archway. I'm having some normal issues with the low relief images within the frames, but I'll have to sort [...]
Autumn City Hall – Update 17
I thought I would show you all the very quick test animation I did of the flag. You can see that I still have some work to do on the animation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtcjdyhckfg I also [...]
Autumn City Hall – Update 16
I finished modeling the roof cresting, but I don't have a render of it yet. I jumped to another part of the roof, the flagpole! Even a seemingly insignificant part of the building, like the [...]
Autumn City Hall – Update 15
Here's another view of the front entrance, this time with the grand staircase in place. The brass railing will probably be removed since it looks like a modern addition. Either that or I'll make it [...]
Autumn City Hall – Update 14
Working hard, but not a lot to show right now. Making adjustments on proportions, window details, etc. In the meantime, here's a night time shot of the main entrance with some temporary spotlights.
