Rube Goldberg Device

This Rube Goldberg device was built entirely within Maya and animated using only expressions and Maya’s dynamics features. The focus of the project was on simulations within Maya, so I left the materials and lighting quite simplified. The music was made using loops from the Bill Laswell Collection in Sony Acid Pro, and the sound effects were drawn from a variety of royalty-free libraries.

Flying sentry drone

This is a robotic sentry drone that will be inserted into the shot I am working on for Advanced Compositing. I am going to try to texture it entirely with procedural textures within Maya, at least at first. I’m eventually going to have to apply some stenciled-on logos and such, but I’m going to hold off on that as long as I can.

VFX Student Reel

I am available for an internship in Denver, CO or telecommuting beginning March 25.
