This is where I'm at with my paper doll game.]]> Mon, 29 Jun 2009 18:20:46 +0000 http://jamesreynolds.cgsociety.org/gallery/759460

I've spent days and days on this. It is for a game I am making. Yay! I'm so happy because it is hot stuff in my opinion! Whee! I know there are a few flaws and I'll probably update this pic but I wanted to post this because I'm soooo happy! This is the second thing I've made in Illustrator and the first thing was almost 15 years ago. lol]]> Sun, 03 May 2009 19:51:01 +0000 http://jamesreynolds.cgsociety.org/gallery/694840

This is a 3d version of my little stubby jet. Modeled in modo.]]> Tue, 11 Nov 2008 21:21:50 +0000 http://jamesreynolds.cgsociety.org/gallery/694820

Just a little stubby joy rider jet out looking at galactic landmarks.

I drew the jet years ago. Took 7 hours, all Photoshop.]]> Tue, 11 Nov 2008 20:51:30 +0000 http://jamesreynolds.cgsociety.org/gallery/693548

16 hours... straight. Was watching Firefly episodes, so I did have a little distraction.

I really debated posting this because I know it is so flawed (I'm not even going to list them, but I have my list and others have told me many as well...). But I want to get it over with and done so I can move on.

It was suppose to be for halloween. And I totally had to use a ref because I have a really hard time drawing big eyes like that and honestly it is the first time I've tried to draw a colorized pinup style pic. I'm ok with it but I'm sure in a year it will make me barf.]]> Sat, 08 Nov 2008 19:58:24 +0000 http://jamesreynolds.cgsociety.org/gallery/693547

5 hrs. I was just making sure I knew how to use Photoshop because I had committed to teach a Photoshop class. No story or anything else behind the picture. I should work on that...]]> Sat, 08 Nov 2008 19:53:18 +0000 http://jamesreynolds.cgsociety.org/gallery/617204

Soooo... a coworker happened to get a 12 inch Cintiq and happened to lend it to me for a few hours. WOW. I haven't had so much fun drawing in a long time.

I had no idea what I was going to draw, I just had a few hours and I figured a girl was a good place to start. It took 3 hours an obviously no ref image. I'm very happy with this.

Comments and crits welcome.]]> Fri, 04 Apr 2008 23:46:30 +0000 http://jamesreynolds.cgsociety.org/gallery/584497

Used a ref image, about 2 hours. It is a mean recording studio executive.]]> Tue, 15 Jan 2008 19:19:37 +0000 http://jamesreynolds.cgsociety.org/gallery/549802

Another attempt at a speed sketch. Maybe 4 hours total time? (I gotta quit zooming in and making my paint brush small if it is going to be a "speed sketch"!)]]> Fri, 12 Oct 2007 23:45:31 +0000 http://jamesreynolds.cgsociety.org/gallery/516638

WIP. I don't imagine I'll finish this anytime soon, but I thought it would be nice to put something new up...]]> Tue, 10 Jul 2007 00:00:24 +0000 http://jamesreynolds.cgsociety.org/gallery/470814

This was suppose to be a quick speed paint but turned into a few hours. Gotta start somewhere. Getting use to the wacom.]]> Mon, 05 Mar 2007 21:42:50 +0000 http://jamesreynolds.cgsociety.org/gallery/442731

I made this model over a year ago.

First I built it physically with real Legos (I'm a Lego freak). Then I built it on the computer using LDraw (http://www.ldraw.org, http://bricksmith.sf.net). Then I converted it to POV-Ray format using Anton Raves' brick library (http://www.antonraves.nl). Then I hacked up that file adding the engine flame and stars using public macros, and then I came up with a fancy dancy explosion animation macro. I rendered about 6000 frames with POV-Ray and distributed the jobs to about 180 computers using Xgrid (http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/xgrid.html) and then averaged 30 frames to 1 to create this animation:

(you can get all the source files used to create it there as well)

I named it moth because it kinda looks like a moth... yes, very imaginative.

This is just one project in my quest to build enough animation code to make an animation with a story line. The other animations I am building are at (none of the following are *my* physical Lego models though, just my animations):

I was just messing around with modo one day and rendered this. I like it, but could be much better for sure.]]> Tue, 19 Dec 2006 18:07:44 +0000 http://jamesreynolds.cgsociety.org/gallery/442735

Messing around in modo again. This kinda looks like a video game "PowerUP", floating in some water...]]> Tue, 19 Dec 2006 18:10:47 +0000 http://jamesreynolds.cgsociety.org/gallery/480423
