ATHF Living Room



Aqua Teen Hungerforce_ Living Room (2016)

Setting: New Jersey (in some cases Seattle)

3D Modeling, Scene, Environmental

This is the home of the Aqua Teen, where the homies aren't home, and the dirty messy scene. For those foreign to the title, Aqua Teen (originally titled Aqua Teen Hungerforce) was a series programmed on Adult Swim. It's one of Adult Swims most native series. 

In the cartoon, The living room has this realistic like setting, but everything looks like clip art. I decided to model the room, along with most of the furniture in 3-Dimensional. In additional, I thought of making the living room messy, and as though a messy college student had been hanging around the area. If you look at the house in general, you would know that the crew take terrible care of their house (The lawn hasn't been mowed, the roof is crooked, there is graffiti on the garage, and so on and so forth). In the living room; There are wood chippings from the walls, the nightstand's paint is peeling off, trash is all over the floor, water cup has spilled on the carpet, the column broke from the kitchen post, an outlet burned out, base board is broken, and there's a huge blue stain on the carpet.



 The ideal signs show that the television is on (showing Adult Swim sensation Dr. Weird), the video game console is out, Doritos are spilled from the bag, Bills and eviction mails are placed on the front coil table, trash is balled up and on the floor, boxes laying around, stove pan on fire, and a few water stains on the wall. These signs should indicate Laziness.

    

 In connection with Adult Swim, I placed a Robot Chicken poster next to the kitchen post. The picture is torn up half way, and the paper folds are visible.

Here's a concept image of the ATHF Living Room (Normally, the living room isn't messy, however the house still has maintenance issues) In this image are two of the ATHF characters; Master Shake(right) and Frylock(left). Meatwad's another character in the show as well. Yes, The tenants are food items.  

This is the second Cartoon Network reference I posted on this blog, The first being the Powerpuff girls bedroom from several months back.

3D Modeling, Interior Design


This is just a 3D test that I'm working on personally. I decided to model a kitchen to 'elite' my modeling skills better. I used Afrikaan style art, in some cases, as décor for the kitchen such as the 3 pictures near the fridge, the canvas abstract next to the window, the two dishes that guard the stove, and the pattern rug.


This scene was modeled in Autodesk Maya and the images tweaked in Adobe Photoshop.

Saleems Fish Supreme/B.L. Smokers BBQ

Saleem's Fish Supreme (2016)
B.L. Smoker's Barbeque (2016)
Macon, Georgia, U.S.A.
Commercial, Eatery, Restaurant

By random, I chose two real-life food establishments and decided to update the buildings just for fun. As of now, The two food joints are right next to each other down Pio Nono Avenue; Saleems Fish is addressed 2198 and Smokers BBQ is 2196. (The image above is the shot from the Pio Nono Avenue and Anthony Road intersection)
Building 2198 is designed in a more urban appearance. I was more unique with the building as I used a fish as the focal point of the buildings front side. The curve roof forms off the fish symbol which has the wave look.
Building 2196 is designed in a more urban appearance as well, but smaller like it's current building. It has the normal appearance of an updated restaurant, also including a shaded grill station next to the building. It's building materials match Building 2198's material.

This is just a 360 degree video of the two establishments. Also, I did the parking lot, which could vary because of the lot terrain.

Again, Both of the Krusty Krabs are next to each other. 'Being creative' was just the point of this project.

Load...

Load... (2016)
Art Institute of Atlanta
School Project, 3D Animation, 3D Model

Load... is a very short video about this special robot. In this video below, the robot will attempt to pull a gold sword from a rock in a matter of several minutes. Now, This is just basic animation, nothing too cool or interesting. Just watch below, It's only about a minute.

The robot was the first character in Autodesk Maya for me to model, rig, and animate all together. I earlier designed the robot for the same purpose, but made a few changes as it became a school project, and no longer a personal project.

History: I designed the robot around the mid of Spring 2016. I modeled, rigged, and animated a GIF to test out the robot. Due to time constraints and lost of interest, I paused the project. Later on for my Animation Studio class, I returned to the project to carry off the same plot that I had planned earlier, unfortunately, Maya has those random 'glitches' that go on, and for some never known reason, one of the lower arms was unable to re-act with the body, so since this was a cartoon, I removed the lower arms from both sides, just showing the hands being magnetic to the elbows. There were some few other tricks, but I feared time cost. So, I was able to animate the robot despite several rig issues. The sound was done by a classmate from my Special Topics: Entrepreneurship class. I worked on the music in the end credits.

This picture below is the earlier GIF I did of the robot, back when he was able to function. Working on this guy was a pain in the head! The Loading idea was just something that popped up as I was working on the GIF image.  

Loneliness in the Sanctuary

 

Loneliness in the Sanctuary (2016)

a church location

Personal Project, 3D Modeling

I wanted to design something random and more visual, like rooms, scenes, or offices. I decided to design a church sanctuary knowing that most of the elderly buildings and historical sites are senior churches.

Giving more of a lonely feeling was what I was aiming for. I dimmed the sunlight to give more of an evening setting. The three lights on the alter are the only lights on inside the sanctuary; the two ceiling lights and the glow light in the middle of the fish symbol. I also made the window red to urge the evening appearance more.



My image was a typical church sanctuary involving the roof post, the carpeting, the pulpit podium, the fish symbol, the pews, the Bibles that sit on the back of the pews, the doors on each side of the alter (not all typical sanctuaries have it like that), and also made most of the objects from wooden texture.



 

 

Looking from the alter, you can see the dynamic of the tarp that lays over the pulpit podium. Also, It's a good view to see the front of the pews. Not to mention, the evening light that would shade in.

Imagine being in here by yourself and it's almost this dark. You're just roaming the entire room as the sky starts to shade in.

The Room in Phonophobia

Phonophobia (2016)

Portfolio Project_ Art Institute of Atlanta

Video, 3D Modeling, Animation

Meet Tyronne, He's a character I adjusted after downloading him as a Morpheus. The room, however, I designed. I made the room and all the obstacles that populate it. I designed this all in Autodesk Maya. Again, I didn't model Tyronne; I downloaded a Morpheus, adjusted him with the options given, and animated him. My main creative focus is the room and every single object in it.

Description; Tyronne, a Morpheus character, is on his laptop as he types and searches for a YouTube video of my other project, Struck! (or Strike!), and afterwards, he laughs at the video until a real loud thunderstorm goes off from nowhere scaring the hell out of Tyronne!! He holds his hands up and fear, and covers his ears.



About the room, I designed a moderate bedroom that's not messy, but simple. I mostly used the color green, and black to gray shades. This room was pretty easy model.

I placed images of common things in Tyronnes room. I gave him a portrait, gave him my portrait etc. I also liked the anime, Plastic Memories. There are also other posters such as Cel Damage, and Miyuki Ayukawa from Basquash. Also, I placed an unused alarm clock on a nightstand.

Here's Tyronnes basic laptop. Okay, The cup; The logo on the cup is from my high school, Howard High in Macon, Georgia. In some way, shape, or form, Tyronne has a connection to my high school.

I gave Tyronne an Xbox One. I put it underneath his television which is mounted onto the wall. His lamp is green, like most of his belongings.

About Tyronne, It was a pain in the neck to edit him. I have to change materials on his body to make it look like he's wearing clothes. I was able to animate him, as though he's really on the laptop. I had to animate the chair, the lights, and other miscellaneous visuals in After Effects.



Just a basic idea; I really don't have a motive, but a good motive for this, probably would be, that it's all fun and games, to you, unless 'this' or 'that' happens. To shorten this, It's funny until it happens to you.

Strips_Chicken & Wings

Strips (2016)
Macon, Georgia, U.S.A.
Commercial, Restaurant

Strips is a chicken & wings eatery, similar to Zaxby's, but Strips is just one place for now. It's designed in a 2010s moderate way, and can be compared to a diner. The building is composed of cladding, stone, and two shades of brick. Also, I used Romanesque arches over the windows to give the building a more artistic look. I also shaded all the windows with metal blinds. There is also a horizontal four-way window in the ceiling, which is shown on the top of the building.

Other than that, Nothing new, just something to replace the abandoned bank off of Pio Nono Avenue in the middle of town.

 This is just a video that goes 360 degrees around the building. Strips only takes up the space where the current building would use to be.

This is the floor plan for the restaurant. I also used AutoCAD to measure and accurately structure the building size. For a close up PDF click HERE

The building, itself, is the major point of the project. The parking lot could just remain the same, or be repainted. For those local to the area, the point would be to add in more businesses, but local businesses, which is why I decided to come up with my own version of a chicken & wings restaurant.
