Much like molding clay, 3D modeling involves meticulous sculpting and refinement, only the base is geometry. One of my focus points in college was this field of 3D graphics and I became fascinated with the world of Autodesk Maya, the industry-level 3D modeling, animating, and rendering software. Not long after learning modeling, I dove into realistic rendering through the use of raytracing and the Mental Ray rendering engine. This gallery showcases my best work in this category, with a focus on combining fanciful ideas and environments with realistic modeling, lighting, and rendering.

I can assure you one thing: nothing in this gallery is a photograph.
