A remake if an old project of mine, original models have a lot of mistakes (maybe 4 years old!), so I started from scratch and this is the current state

A bull with a big guilt complex...

Not a big fan of this weird activity really. Created for fun with an old model.

The original model was created for a Speed Modeling challenge at Threedy.com and was created in 2 hours, I was happy with the short cartoony proportions that I decided to spend a few more days and clean the model and add the rest of the details.

An homage to one of my favourite movies and my favourite car ever. (yes.. i´m that geek)

This is an old model. Crated for fun and for practice. I used my own car as a reference for this one but of course I wish it was this shinny. I made a simple rig to create a small animation for portfolio purposes.

This was originally a project for a friend, but it was cancelled. It is the first 3D thing using my right hand since my wrist problem four months ago, so I decided to create a more decent render in mental Ray. I finished it on July 1 (my mom´s birthday by the way) , oh and it was a good chance to test the DecimationMaster.. wich works like a charm

This was a canceled project i was working on for a couple of friends.
I decided to spend a few more hours on it for practice purposes so I styilized the original shape and ended up with this...
Since this was the first time sculpting clothes without a good base mesh it was a good chance to test Selwy´s brushes... nice! and thanks

The Zcuintlis aka the "Yellow Dogs". Autonomous racing vehicles modified to watch the city limits and the military facilities boundaries. They were also modified to carry a human pilot, but their free will caused many accidents. The machines still do their job by their selves. Workers only ride them for maintenance purposes.

This is actually an old model, it was modeled in carrara 5 a couple of years ago. It was re-modeled in Maya and textured & post in Photoshop.

This was on of my two first fully-rigged characters in Maya 8, back in december 2007. The original mesh is older. I thought it was a good idea to re-texture the original file and make a few renders in various poses. I posted a few renders previously in my portfolio (don´t really know how to attach them here :P )

This is an old one. This was my first Fully-Rigged Character in Maya 8.5, back in December 2007. The model was made for a still image a long time ago, the topology is not good enough... but i used it to learn the basics of rigging instead of modeling one from scratch. The rig still has minor issues... but it is old enough to leave it that way

This was just an excersice in my free time using my original model from my entry to DesignFusion. I made it shortly after the comp was closed, wasn´t sure to post the image until the comp was officially closed, but i think it´s ok now

Nothing fancy... just the aztec god Quetzalcoatl waking up in his stone body and facing the enemy waiting for the battle...

Wasn´t intended to be realistic, just an stylized excercise... the dull background is just a photograph I had.

I made this character for a forum challenge. The concept was simple: to make a cute and colorful animal with a grumpy and annoyed attitude. Modeled and textured in Maya and Photoshop, rendered in Carrara 6 due to some problems my computer had back then with Maya´s MR ... but i was pleased with the final result.

This image is part of the things I do after work. The image was modeled and rendered in Carrara 5 Pro and was the first one of a series of 7. The original idea shows the girl´s pet, but it was a pretty bad composition. The textures and Post were made and mixed in Photoshop. It is rendered with 2 lights and 1 HDR. One of the slowest things in this piece was the rigging, but the character is not intended for animation by the moment.

It talks about the extinct wooden toys in my country... the sequence depicts how the institution called "IMSS" ate the artisans from this small town...
