FIrsT CG sCeNe!!!!

Hey everyone, I couldn't wait to show you this. I mean, I was in shock!... finally I got a really good 3d scene. Everything started with a MAYA TUTORIAL, which congratulations to the guy or girl who did it. After 2 days HERE IS THE RESULT.

The textures were all 85 percent done with UV MAPPING. The cup and sugar cane a design of myself, plus stock images of the food.

I learn a lot! How to use HDRI images, reflection, scattering, ambient, I mean more in depth the textures field. And believe me, they are completely important, I could say the most important!
You could even have a cube and a plane, but with the texture you can create anything!!!

Hope you like it!

CaLacA... KillIng FoR yOur BoNeS!!!

Hey everyone! As I told you, free time = creative stuff. Now, I bring digital a sketch I did inspired in my visit to a piercing shop. The guy here has lots of skeletons and those things hahaha, you know what I mean. It was November and here in Mexico we celebrate the calling "DIA DE MUERTOS DAY", this is a special traditional day in which mexicans bring food and remember their dead people. It is supposed they come and it the soul of the food and make us companion for a while.

Anyway, so being surrounded by so many skeletons and so on my hands created a nice, funny skeleton head. In my free time here, I created this. I thought it needed something funny.

After thinking, I decided to put this.... a phrase we say when we like so much someone, I don't know how to explain it... well you kill to be with that person. It was done in fully Illustrator and type from veer.com .

CeLL PrOpOsAL!

Hey everyone! This time I will post a really quick and nice project at the end. The plan here was to create a cell animation as a proposal for a Pharmacy. I said to myself... Oh gosh!, I mean modeling a cell is just simple for the trick is in the texture. By looking for texture tutorials, shaders and so on, the pre-final proposal looked amazing! Emmy and I were just playing with them, simple but special animation to them and before Combustion edition it looked really good. Here it is...

YUpI!!! My FiRst FlUiD iN BLENDER!

Hey everyone, lately I started to work in Blender. This is free 3d software application, which has been used to make amazing 3d short films like BIG BUNNY. (I love this character is amazingly cute and modeled)

So I download it on the day before yesterday, and let me tell you that in the beginning was horrible! I just move and didn't achive anything! The interface is intimidating, I first got use to C4D ,later on Maya and now Blender. But OMG! So many buttons and directions, hidden keys, new ways to save and render.

So my mission was to learn the interface, a whole day of watching video tutorials and reading let me move in it. I mean, not at a 100 percent, but I know how to move everything, scale, rotate, set screen settings and so on. And today I decided to start with FLUID SIMULATION, this software lets you create fluids without many plugins. I would love to work with REAL FLOW , but at the end there are other ways if you don't have it.

Looking at fluid simulations at youtube using BLENDER, I said to myself, hey it looks realllyyyy good for liquids. So here I go again, learn what are fluids, domains, obstacle and so on, and here is what I achieved....


After baking so many times, and moving, and redoing, I got this render shot. Pretty good for being a beginner in this, hopefully I will make more. And, if you ask me how I put the texture on, I really don't know. I did the texture and achieved the water look, but by clicking and moving it was on the fluid. Yeah!

GiRL bEaUty PaInTinG!

Hey guys, now that I have been working on PLAY TV here in Mexico City in my free time I try to make creative stuff. This time I draw a sketch from a girl and mmm I really like it.

So I decided to take advantage of it and make use of the Wacom Tablet at work. It took me around 10 hours, the final version was modified in a cold mood color. Here it is, and hey isn't she beautiful?

Hope you like it.
