Pre 2K -

This section I've tossed in just for a laugh. These are some of my oldest animations from before the year 2000 while I was attending the Art Institute of Phoenix and even one from before I started school when my dad graciously bought me an $80 copy of Bryce 3D so I could get a head start on my career. I wouldn't recommend checking out this section unless you want a laugh and a reminder of what it was like to attend art school and do all the lame things we do when learning polygons, nurbs, particles, and textures.

Open Iris Test

This was actually created in a couple of days in order to show some producers of a TV show that I could crank out some broadcast graphics for their opening sequence for the show. I worked with them for a while before I lost touch due to school keeping me too busy at the time. At the time I was considering creating a corporation with the name of Open Iris Productions for my independent contracting.

Streaking

This was done while I was attending Expression College so it's actually post 2K but not by a whole lot. I believe it was done in an advanced animation class but it may have been done with motion capture.

GearedUp.net

I don't actually recall what class this was for. I believe it was somewhere near the end of my stay at AIPX though.

Software used: 3D Studio Max

KUPD

This was created in one of my classes at AIPX though I can't remember which. Silly but fun to make of course.

Batman Volumetric Explosion

I believe this was in a 3D modeling class at AIPX. Good times, volume lights and explosions.

Software used: 3D Studio Max

Bryce Animation

I made this before I even attended my first art school. My dad purchased me a copy of Bryce 3D back in 1998 and I was thrilled to start playing with it and getting a head start on my education. I really had no idea what I was doing but it was awfully fun.
