Here's a link to the youtube video showing turntables of the work-in-progress models that I'm working on for my animation Tarantula ATTACKS!

Vent and Commander Chair

The Commanders chair is a work in progress as well as the helicopter. I need to texture those and I will post pics when finished. Oh and sorry about the little crosshairs all over the place. The screenshot deal in udk is weird.

Truck wip

This is a truck I've been working on for an animation that I'm doing this semester in 3D modeling 1. I'm also going to be submitting it to the CGSociety.com B-Movie Contest they're having.  Long story short, the animation is about a guy that is walking in a city and a giant tarantula is invading and the guy tries to stop it. Nothing works against it and the tarantula ends up killing itself.

Apache Helicopter and XM8

Tonight I'm going to finish up texturing the XM8 assault rifle and Apache Helicopter. I'm currently uploading a video where I made an additive material in UDK and put it on a cylinder to emulate a helicopter propeller spinning. If I have time I will post a tutorial on how I did this. . .very basic tutorial. But in the meantime, I will finish texturing and then post.

Artist Statement

Hey guys I'm Andrew Boyles from Plano, Texas. I'm currently a student at Collin County Community College and am working on my Certificate in Animation with a focus on game design. . .whew that was long. Anyway. . . I'll probably start posting things that I am working on as I complete it. I'm enrolled in 4 classes, but most of my work is going to be coming from 3 classes which include -Advanced Character Rigging in Maya

-3D Modeling and Rendering 1 (retaking to work on a special animation project)

-Game Simulation

The Game Simulation class has got to be my favorite since I'm wanting to become an environment artist. We are working on making our own customized game using the Unreal Development Kit. I think for now we are calling our game "Doubtful", not just because that title sounds awesome but because we are kind of doubtful we will finish the game by the end of the semester. I, on the other hand, think that we are definitely going to finish. I'm one of the 2 or three modelers for the game and in the next post will be pics of some of the things I've modeled.
