This one came from another dream I had. Nothing really happened in the dream that I can remember, but the physical space was pretty striking. There’s lots of meanings we could ascribe to this. I have an interpretation, but I’d rather leave it up to you. Continue reading
This is a recreation of a scary dream I had when I was very young, maybe four or five years old. It’s the oldest dream I can remember and one of my oldest memories period. The dream was just that … Continue reading
I’ve finished another Blender project—per tradition, this comes from a dream I had. Inspiration I dreamed I was in something like the Nintendo video game Metroid Prime. The Prime series of games features a lone human explorer making her way … Continue reading
This creation is another indoor space—a large atrium containing three tiered platforms, each being a semi-private space leading up to a curtained-off bedroom area. The platforms are narrow in the center which gives the look of overlapping bridges and leaves most of the atrium as empty space. Continue reading
– In which I take a dream I had and make it as photorealistic as possible – Like my Harbor Terminal project, this piece is based on a scene that I saw in a dream. It was a penthouse apartment … Continue reading
For the past year and a half, I’ve been working with an unofficial team at Microsoft to develop audio-based games—games that can be played with just the sound. Now I’m happy to announce that Ear Hockey, a game which I’ve … Continue reading
This is another 3D model to be printed and used as a planter. I was prompted recently to create it and order one for myself because someone gave me a new plant as a gift. It’s a stout, simple human … Continue reading
As part of my ongoing effort to decorate my apartment, I decided to make another painting on a wrapped canvas—this one with a more original subject, unlike the Gorilla and Butterfly pair. For a long time, I’ve been interested in the … Continue reading
I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time. The 3D print company Shapeways allows users to create “online shops” on its website, where other users can order 3D prints of their designs. The shop owners mark up their … Continue reading
Another 3D model to be printed and filled with plants —created a long time ago, but recently edited to have thicker walls and a smaller overall size. I made this one with drainage holes and a fitted tray underneath to … Continue reading
I designed these models as a series of flower pots for 3D printing. Plants growing out of geometry dominated by right angles—the thing that struck me about this concept and motivated me to put these ideas into reality is the … Continue reading
Everyone’s seen the yin and yang symbol before. At its most basic (and I only really know the basics), it’s meant to convey the idea that all natural forces have a corresponding opposite and cannot exist or have identity without … Continue reading
When I was in grade school, I drew this picture to give to my mom for Mother’s Day: She hung it up in her classroom, and she said the kids in her classes always liked it and asked her about … Continue reading
In this project my aim was to model a building quickly and with a low polygon count (important for resources in game development).
I’ve done walking animations before, but I spent more time on this one and focused more on the subtle parts. I also learned how to get that really soft, clean kind of shading on the material.
