FM7 DLC SEMA Raptor

I had the privilege of modeling/texturing the front bumper and side skirts for the new FM7 SEMA Raptor --

Forza Motorsport 7

Being a huge NASCAR fan, it's been a dream of mine to work on a NASCAR title since the mid 90's pc racing games. 

I was beyond excited for the opportunity to be the Team Lead on the NASCAR Expansion. Managing a team of talented 3D Artists, we completed work on 28 cars/liveries for use in the game. 

I started working on the pack before the team was assembled. I was responsible for taking older assets and bringing them up with current NASCAR technology and aesthetics. For the 3 manufacturers, I modeled/animated much of the trunks/hoods/aero flaps. On top of that, I created the base livery used on all the Toyota cars.

A little modeling/lighting/rendering exercise based on concept work. Just modeling and base materials applied. Hope to come back and finish, but unfortunately moved on to environment pieces with higher priority.

Working as a 3D Vehicle Artist with Turn 10 Studios, my main responsibility was visual accuracy, through polish and finalization of the car assets. This included additive-modeling, texturing, in-game shader tuning and bug fixing. I was responsible for the visual accuracy of the car assets through polish and fixes. I worked closely with the car team to maintain quick and accurate turn around on the 3D Vehicles.

Audi RS5 - I was responsible for modeling and animating the active aero from photo reference. I also modeled the tail lights and side skirts, keeping complete accuracy in mind. In total, 6 LODs with 2 damaged versions were created. Afterwards, I finished in-game polish and bug fixing, which included redoing UVs and materials in order to work with the in-game livery.

For the interior, I had to remodel the door handles and part of the seats. Also, I had to create textures for the gauges and RS5 badges in Photoshop:

Hyundai RMR - The livery needed to be redone on the RMR to match our photo reference. I was responsible for creating the grey design and reworking smaller parts of the livery all around the car, in addition to creating a couple logos. Everything was done using Photoshop. Also, I did some polish and bug-fixing on the RMR, including reworking the UV's and damage textures:





Spyker C8 LM85 - The Spyker is one of the limited number of Autovista cars. They have an incredibly high level of detail and close in on 1 million tris. I was in charge of finalizing the accuracy of the C8 LM85 through managing textures, materials and shader changes using the Xbox 360 dev-kit. Working on the wheels, exterior and interior, it required close management of materials to ensure every object on the vehicle accurately represents the real-world car. In addition to accurate materials, I was responsible for corrective modeling, fixing AO maps and normal maps in order for the trademark aspects of the car to really shine through:

3D Modeling & Texturing Environment Reel

This is my Modeling & Texturing Reel I created during my time at Vancouver Film School. It was a 6 month project. I spent the first 3 months modeling and lighting the scene. Then the final 3 months were spent unwrapping, texturing, and rendering. Everything except the Ship Design (Danny Gardner) was my design and creation. Thank you and I hope you enjoy it!

I have spent the past week working on a low-poly indoor scene. It's been really fun learning more about lighting within Maya. Right now, I am at 13k polys, but I am wanting to add more props this week. It will be done by the end of the week, gotta start some new work!

Amerra, Inc: 3D Artist Internship

Professional Work - Amerra, Inc. Internship from Jonathan George on Vimeo.

I recently finished my internship with Amerra, Inc. I worked within a team to create a realistic 3D Model from images of the upcoming Panasonic CardioHealth Station. My responsibilities were to model a few of the accessories, then texture the entire thing within Maya. I then took the model and set up realistic lighting in 3D Studio Max. After that, I continued using 3D Studio Max to animate numerous cameras to craft a dynamic movement to help show off the new product.
