This set of Renders are of a model real house that I created; the model, not the house. This house is based on a real house in Glendale, California. The original building sits on a hill, which would have been difficult to design around, but the architect of this house chose to make it a series of small rooms that each sit on a different height-level. To make this asset I created every model in Maya, and unwrapped unwrapped, also in Maya, created the UV layouts, and finally I textured each piece in Substance Painter and Photoshop. In contrast to much of my other work, this piece features a lot of textures that I created by hand in Photoshop, and minimal Substance Painter.

While one of this is actually a self-portrait, there is a little bit of me in each of the rest as well, which is why I chose these specific pieces from my collection. You wouldn't know it looking at me, but I really love bold colors, and narrative told through color.

This is part of a larger project that included 6 hero props and a building.

This set of Renders belong to the Retro Futuristic collection of assets that I created; this is the building for the larger environment. This house is based on the Sculptured House in Genesee, Colorado. The original building was based on a sculpture, which is actually registered as part of the working drawings for the original building. To make this asset I sculpted the shell of the house in Zbrush, and then I created a low-poly retopology model in Maya, which the original sculpt has been baked on to. I modeled and unwrapped the rest of this asset in Maya, created the UV layouts, and finally I textured each piece in Substance Painter. This is part of a larger project that included 6 hero props and a spaceship.

I created these works almost entirely out of polymer clay and balsa wood, save for the bases of each, which are premade, pine, craft-planks. The shoji screens were created with sheets of velum.
