Water Simulation

 

I never really work with after effects so when I was handed an assignment by my professor to simulate water I took a quick look at video copilot and learned step by step how to simulate it. Brought the avi file into premiere and rendered some sound settings so when I rendered the scene it compressed it down automatically (from 788 MB to 36 MB)

Bubble Particle Simulation

A render of a particle system I applied to an underwater scene. I applied a wind space warp to send the bubbles upward in a circular direction.

Sea Anemone

 

Set this scene up by creating a plane and adding a hair and fur modifier to it. I created a single Anemone out of a cylinder that I modified to match what I researched on. I then used that as a base mesh for all of my hairs via Instance Node. Then by setting up the camera, applying an appropriate material, and moving the image plane, I was able to animate my scene pretty successfully.

Rain Simulation

First attempt at a rain simulation. Probably going to adjust the direction of the spray particle simulator so the drops don't slide the way they do after they bounce off of the deflector I have set up in the scene.

Game Props

The basic Geometry of a sword I'm designing. Looking forward to applying textures and a bump map to this.

Beauty shot, including geometry. Most likely going to back this down to a low poly version and bring it into a game I'm thinking about making later.

Beauty shot of a Low Poly Shield. This is one of two I'm building off of one base mesh I constructed. The next will be a bit more broad and sharp looking. 

The shield looked a bit boring and unrealistic so to add contrast I textured it and rendered it using final gather. The render time tripled from what it originally was but the difference in the end results speak for themselves.
