I’ve started going through my vast collection of 3d models and putting them up on Turbosquid for sale. If you have worked with me, or know someone in need of models for a project please send them to my store on TSquid.
thanks!

Been working on improving my anatomy and sculpting skills, this was an ongoing personal project used to refine and develop my workflow and technique. 
Late 2013 and the first 1/2 of 2014 have been filled with some fantastic projects that have pushed me in new directions. In the past few months I have worked on my 1st episodic series, “True Detective”. I have also contributed to some upcoming feature films, among them “A Most Violent Year” starring Jessica Chastain, and “Equals” starring Kristen Stewart.
Of course I have still been working on commercials, game trailers, and other broadcast related projects. I will be uploading some new work in the immediate future, and hope you will check back from time to time to see what is new.
thanks!

I had the pleasure of creating most of the 3d setassets in the new TNF intro. Hi-Res clip coming soon 😉

I am happy to announce the release of my new Autodesk Masterclass Retopology-the how and why over on the Autodesk Area website. Please take a look, and if you find it useful leave a comment on thearea website.
In this video I talk about the using the Graphite Modeling Tools to retopologize meshes created both in and outside of 3ds max. I cover situations I have encountered in a production environment including CAD data, triangulated sculpted meshes and creating a base mesh in 3ds as a guide to build a higher detail mesh on top of. For each instance I explain why we need to retopo a mesh at all.

just for fun, monsters speed. 20 minutes, some areas could use better planning for sure
Something I have had sitting on my drive for a couple of years now, still needs plenty of work and development, but I just dug it up. My re-envisioning of a “Flying Merkel” took sort of a retro-futristic view when making my own design. Hopefully it stays true to the original. Work in Progress.
For anyone searching for a 3D modeler/generalist in the New York tri-state area, here is a list of software and techniques I am proficient in:
Autodesk 3ds Max-Poly-Modeling organic and hard surface modeling, Unwrapping, Texture creation, Materials, lighting, and rendering in a V-Ray and Mental Ray environment.
V-Ray-3ds Max
Mental Ray-3ds Max
Pixologic Zbrush-Digital sculpting of characters, environments, and non organic forms.
Autodesk Mudbox-Digital sculpting of characters, environments, and non organic forms.
Adobe Photoshop-texture creation
Basic Knowledge of Autodesk Maya– modeling
I contributed a chapter on modeling to this book, and can tell you the list of established authors is staggering. For more info visit http://www.3dats.com/Expert_Book/
I just finished working on my 1st training video for Digital-Tutors, the premier training site for digital artists. In the video I outline various modeling techniques within 3ds Max 2012.

Please show your support by checking out the videos.

My Website has changed format, if you are looking for the support files for my book they can be found here. The links from the book no longer work as the new site is Php and the old was html. Thanks for your understanding.

When the I-phone 4 was released there were a few publicized “issues”. With all the hoopla I thought it would be fun to speculate on the adjustments that would be made to the next generation i-phone.
Since I was a boy I have liked anything to do with cars and motorcycles. I feel very fortunate that many times when I am on a job it is automobile related. Sometimes the vehicles wouldn’t be my 1st pick to have in my collection, so often I will make a personal version just to make it interesting. In this post I will be displaying some of the before and after shots.
In this section I have some Architectural samples that I created. All modeling, texturing, lighting, shading and rendering by me.
Playing with forms in this quick speedculpt. In the end he had a Rush Limbaugh vibe to me.
Superbowl Commercial-2013
This year marks the 1st time I have worked on a spot that was featured during the Superbowl. The ad was for Beck’s Sapphire beer, and featured an animated fish singing “No Diggity”. Was a pleasure to work with a great team over at Psyop.
Stills and hi res clip coming soon.

I will be giving a short demo at the next NYC Max User Group meeting on using Graphite Modeling Tools for retopoing geometry. The info can be found on the new User Group website http://www.nyc3d.org/3dwp/. I am also the 1st Spotlight artist on the new site, a big thanks to Joe Gunn and Kim Lee!
