3D Computer Props & Sets

Here is a sample of some of the CGI sets and props I have created over the years. Some of these were made for specific projects while others were personal projects.

Corridor set. Sci-Fi influenced set for a proposed game cinematic sequence.

My Gorobot character in my Area 51 laboratory set.

3D Studio MAX versions of the tetrahedron cargo containers for the "Silent Running" Drone set.

Track corridor for a NIKE sales video touting a new product and future technologies. Robert Terrell of COMPUTOONS® (whom directed the project) designed the set. I built all the objects, created the materials and lit the set.

Large bay window on the space station. The Earth and Moon are actually 3D models. The Earth model has a separated cloud layer. In this shot, the camera starts out close on the Earth, then pulls back through the window into the corridor.

Locker room set I made for COMPUTOONS®. Robert Terrell of COMPUTOONS® designed and sculpted the characters.

3D Studio MAX model of a Starfleet Tricorder. I've seen a few pages on the web of Star Trek or Star Wars models. (Jeorg Gerlach's site is one that really stands out) But I haven't seen many hand props except the occasional phaser. So...here it is, an fully modeled 3D object.

One reason I built this thing was, that as I mentioned before, there are already some outstanding CG models of Trek ships available on the web. I thought it would be fun to go in the opposite direction and make a highly detailed model one of the smaller hand props.

Airlock door model I built for the COMPUTOONS® NIKE product project. This door never opened, it merely served as a backdrop for the main character to run past. If you look closely you will see the same detail piece repeated over and over again, re-scaled and modified to make a more detailed model. A good trick when you are under a very tight deadline.

Tackle Sled bumpers from the never released 3D Ultra Pinball: NFL game from Sierra. The game was to feature a football field as the pinball table and a variety of standard football equipment was to be used as bumpers and flippers. Here's a look at how they fit into the game.

Archways for the never released Sierra game, 3D Ultra Pinball:Star Forces. This would have been an interesting addition to their 3D Ultra Pinball lineup.

More Star Forces models. Robotic crane for picking up the pinball, and guns for the two opposing forces, the Star soldiers and alien invaders known as the Skrags.
