Modeling a punk duck

Here is an original character I came up with sketching for a class one day.


The course was and Introductory 3ds Max character modeling and animation class. We had quite a bit of ground to cover in a short amount of time, but the students followed admirably and came out of the class with a more comprehensive understanding of the application.

From the whiteboard sketches of the day, I came up with a character which I later modeled and provided for the class to learn basic rigging techniques.

I have since converted the model to Maya and am currently editing for rigging, animation and texturing.

The conversion and editing of edge loops has so far taken about four hours.

I’m modeling a very familiar character for a 3D fan film, Superman, or as I’ve seen Batman call him “the big blue boy scout”. Here are a few images of the model in progress as well as a turntable of the current look of the model.

This demo reel showcases some of the work I have been involved in. Unless otherwise indicated, I did all of the work presented. I work in 3D animation, primarily using Maya currently. I also am quite familiar with 3D Studio and to a lesser extent SoftImage XSI. I am extremely proficient in many of the Adobe Creative Suite applications.
