Organic Texture: Frog!

Slimy Frog - by Reina Elizondo

Dead Frog - by Reina Elizondo

This was textured in Maya. I used a combination of the SSS fast skin (for the frog) and Blinn (for everything else including the eyes).

I painted a base texture in Mari; I used this project as an excuse to start learning it. Unfortunately, time crunches meant I had to finish the details of the textures through Photoshop. The frog textures, were entirely painted in Mari and Photoshop. The lily pad and eye textures were composited in Photoshop from various web references. (The most recognizable of which was this lovely dead lily pad.

The model was from 3DVIA.com by Matku. Although it came without eyes.

What I found most challenging was the way the SSS shader effected displacement maps.  I'm happiest with the slimy look of the live frog.

Nurbs furniture for steampunk room

These are quick renders of the furniture I just made last night for my graphics class. We had to make three pieces of furniture from photo references for this project. Eventually these and the other two steam punk artworks I posted: the gears and the painting with Steampunk Lesbia - will be part of the final project for this class. The final is to have a themed room with two artworks and three pieces of furniture. For our next project I will texture these pieces and finish building my room. Last I will light it all.
