PG1 "Hi, I'm Thomas Mayfield and this is my project 'What If Metropolis' presentation. I have had seven weeks to complete this project and the final result came out very nice and you will see that later." PG2 "So my artist was a guy called Victor Moscoso, he is an artist who does a lot of psychedelic art for comics and music posters. You can see just by looking at these images that they can be a bit of a strain on the eyes, but you can see the Victor gives his work this really nice simplistic flow to his images. They just look correct, but then if you can look closer into his work all of the shapes have been made in a way so that they have second meaning to them, for example the easiest one to spot is the 'Peacock Ball' on the tail feathers of the peacock. The colors he also picks is also very distinct, the blue and orange on the Egyptian themed posted has a very violent clash with each other, but that is merely reinforced by the purple in-be...

Gustodian Final Render This one shot took 3.5 hours to render and 1 hours to clean up, I can happily say this look amazing! The textures didn't show up as well as I would have hoped but this will do. I though this would look way too Sci-Fi in the end but I was mistaken. The window have a lovely effect to them and really add to this city. The was one minor issue with my scene though, the entire thing is textured, but from how I have set up my texture settings and lighting it has blocked out the textures quite significantly, you can see some of the textures better than others but that would be one of the only major flaws with my environment.

Bump Map Texture Test Trying to get a texture that could have 'Pop' and still be recognised perfectly as an object is key in my city. I made a texture as well as the bump map so they were identical, the by altering setting I got some really good results. The texture really messes with your eyes but you can still tell its a cube, this process should be used in my final city.    Bridge Perspective Warp Test When I was doing some of the props I realised that the skybox/sphere I had made reflected my bridge, after some considerable tweaking I got this cool wavy effect to the model, I'm not sure how I will go about doing this but if possible I know some materials I will use can also reflect a little bit like the sky, so maybe I could form some other shape via reflections. Ball Texture Test  The texture test went really well! This little sphere ended up looking rocky in the end which is something I will use 100% for some of the pieces in my scene, I would lik...

Maya Tutorial Result This is my final render for the Maya interior tutorial. I have brought the saturation and contrast up a little but overall it came out quite nice!

Maya Tutorial Result 1 Maya Tutorial Result 2 This is the night time lighting tutorial scene, there are two scenes actually, the first was my own Photoshop result not following the tutorial. I do like the top highlight but the second render just looks so much cleaner. Happy with my progress and hopefully the last one will be done today!

Maya Tutorial Result This is my final image from the romantic lighting exercise, once again I have done this differently, I wanted to give a very warm feel to the image and I think I nailed that quite well. Lighting doesn't seem too difficult now so hopefully I will have picked up a couple traits how to light scenes.

Maya Tutorial Result This is the final image of the lighting exercise, I didn't stick 100% with the tutorial but it still came out really nice, the green tint was no longer there either so that's good. I personally thing I could have given the sky a little more kick but it looks good.

Maya Tutorial Result This is my final result form the Maya exercise on Digital McGuffin, I came out alright, the only thing I would fix it the green tint, I couldn't quite work out how to get rid of it but it only makes a small difference. I can see how this would be used in my 3D environment for my project and the effects that could be made from this method.
