Motor City Auto Art Mavens

A local group of artists are organizing a pretty huge charity auction at the upcoming Autorama 2010. They asked me to volunteer to make the website...-you have to support a cause like that.

Section 8 ships

Section 8 ships. Congrats to the team at Timegate!

-nice logo!

Rat Fink

balrog from SF2

Doin this for the "Art of Capcom" challange on www.sinistercircle.com

So I chose Balrog from SF2, now that I have thought about it, he's possibly the most un-capcom like character they ever made.

Still working on the maya version, with a complete character...

Reed logo

\
I was just playing around trying to make some kind of logo for myself, not sure what I'm going to use this for. Rendered in Zbrush, and completely mauled in photoshop.

War Ork

Now available for more freelance web design.

dropship

Just found a new render of my old model that I did while I was at Timegate. Looks like they used my normal mapping, but they definitely revamped the color map- which looks a lot better than mine did.

zbrush zombie

just working on my Zbrush.

Freelance!

I've got overwhelming feedback about freelance work.

So Now I am a full time freelance artist - not unemployed.


Actively looking for more freelance work.

new Singularity trailer

New reworked "Singularity" trailer

Trying to brush up some old work, Probably not ever going to finish this guy.

2009 reel

new reel has been cut.


Showreel 2009

Reed Casey showreel08 from Reed Casey on Vimeo.

Should have done a much better job of keeping backups and textures of individual assets over the past 2 years...a reel just doesn't seem as legit without turntables; but I'm having some serious issues with the render farm.

Once again, only watch the environments, armor and props...ignore all the characters that arn't heavily armored.

seeking new employment

Yep, moving on.

Now seeking new employment. 'Looking for a fulltime or freelance job, available immediately. I have 4 years experience in game cinematics as a lead modeler.

I specialize in Vehicle and environment modeling/textureing. But also characters and concept art.
I'll have a new demoreel posted very soon.

Google Sketchup

So I decided to give this sketchup Software a try. This robot isn't anything special, but in under 6 hours while I learned the software? probably not possible in maya - for me.



Do it. Sketchup

demoreel from 2006

'Just wanted to upload this for easy access

Higher quality 2006 reel

-and you can spell "modelling" with two "l"s

Red Faction story Trailer

Pendulum did about 15 minutes of in-game cinematics for Red Faction Geurrila.

Singularity trailer

Modeled the jet and pilot's helmet.

inane scrawls #4853

some inane scrawls.

Golden Axe Cinematics.

watch the montage video.

and the Best sequence, where I modeled and textured the armor and the environment, among other things.


The videos are up on the Pendulum website.

script: "flip Z"

Because you can never have too many hotkeys in Maya, here's my latest

description: Flip selected object in Z.

proc flip()
{
string $sel[] = `ls -sl`;
float $xVal = `getAttr ($sel[0] + ".scaleZ")`;
$xVal *= -1;
setAttr ($sel[0] + ".scaleZ") $xVal;
print $xVal;

}
flip();

just chance the attribute "scaleZ" to X and Y

Nemesis printed

"Nemesis" is a model that was never used from Dark Sector. 'Kinda disappointed he lost a lot of the detail I was hoping for, such as all the serrations I painstakingly modeled into the blade. But overall not bad for 30cm and 28$, I reordered the higher quality material that would be better for painting.

visit my 3d print shop

Section 8

Almost landed a gig working on this trailer, as I result I ended up working for the developer for a short while. I managed to model/concept that drop ship and the 3d logo.

This trailer was done by Blur and not by my current employer; Pendulum

My first 3d print

This is the first 3d model that I've had "printed" in some kind of polycarbonate. Probably the first of many.

generic robot

sketch for fun.
