Friday, October 27, 2006. Friday, More surfacing. A little more work today. Not as much as I'd prefer. Fixed the black keys and fine tuned some surfaces. I also added a logo on the back plate. Posted by Chad at 3:52 PM. Thursday, October 26, 2006. Here are the original references and some new renders. I also placed older renders here too. I'm having some problems with shaders. I need to find more texturing techniques. Here is a black top model with a similar angle. Posted by Chad at 10:24 PM. I love keyb...

Monday, August 27, 2007. There are some multiplayer images up there also that I helped out with, but they're not that interesting to look at IMO. Posted by Chad at 1:03 AM. Wednesday, August 15, 2007. More shots, and a new-old one! More screenshots. Nothing new except the one in the lower left corner. That's one of the way early screenshots I took. I'm surprised it made it out. Posted by Chad at 6:40 PM. View my complete profile. The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky. New Demo Reel Posted.

Wednesday, December 27, 2006. Nothing to show for now. Animation Portfolio Development is over and I'm taking a small break. There are a few projects I have been kicking around lately. I will be starting them soon as well as finally finishing the Wurlitzer. In the mean time I've been educating myself about Global Illumination, Final Gathering and all else Mental Ray has to offer.

Tuesday, May 22, 2007. Here's another screenshot I took that appeared on IGN May 17th. I think there are a bunch out there. It's just a matter of time before they're used. I'm still taking more, believe it or not, as well as learning Motion Builder, moving, becoming an uncle and oh so much more. See it here: http:/ media.ps3.ign.com/media/749/749071/img 4552731.html.

Sunday, July 22, 2007. Had some fun in Michigan this weekend. Thought I would post some pics. These are of burning embers from a fire being thrown into Lake Michigan. It was pitch black so the framing is a little off and my digital camera is pretty weak. At least it's capable of taking long exposures. Posted by Chad at 2:34 PM. Saturday, July 14, 2007.

Saturday, February 24, 2007. I thought some broken keys would give it more character. Posted by Chad at 7:06 PM. Saturday, February 17, 2007. Getting lost in the small strokes. Getting some nice scuff detail. Posted by Chad at 11:04 PM. Wednesday, February 14, 2007. Switched the top color and added some wear to the backplate. Also, I made the keys a little yellow. Should get this thing done soon. Posted by Chad at 4:39 PM. View my complete profile. The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky.

Tuesday, January 23, 2007. I thought this would be a good item for my portfolio. It already includes my garbage can and is a small environment. I could also work on low-rez models and make the textures do most of the work. Thoughts? Posted by Chad at 8:10 PM. Tuesday, January 16, 2007. Yes, I am working. Then there's Global Illumination of the Garbage Can. I don't have anything too sexy to show except some tweaking. The last image took almost 30 min. to render and it's really slowing my explo...

Thursday, June 14, 2007. More Screenshots.what else is new? Showing off action in the Mega and Museum levels! Unfortunately the taking of screenshots has slowed down quite a bit lately. I'm back to doing actual work at Midway which is still fun. I've moved into a new apartment, my sister had a little baby boy, and I'll be turning 25 on the 18th. Now if I can just get hired on and start making some money. See 'em here: http:/ media.ps3.ign.com/media/749/749071/imgs 1.html. Posted by Chad at 11:14 PM.

Thursday, April 26, 2007. Another screenshot I took was used in. June '07 issue featuring Stranglehold. The black arrow is pointing to it. The "Ride the Snake" image is right next to it. This is a german magazine so I can't make out the caption, but apparently they talk about the gameplay (which is sweet by the way). The new image was taken in-game. No tweaking necessary. I also included the original. Posted by Chad at 6:16 PM. Wednesday, April 11, 2007. Posted by Chad at 4:46 PM. View my complete profile.
