Medieval Siege Diorama
Medieval Siege Diorama
This project originally started as a team work on a 3d animation of a medieval siege. I was responsible for uv mapping, sculpting and texturing of the castle parts, modeling, uv mapping and texturing of the characters and their props, and also modeling, uv mapping and texturing of the several props like siege towers and infantry protection plates. Eventually, that project was canceled, so I decided to use a few of the assets I had built to make a small diorama of a siege. You can see some renders of the 3d diorama and also a few screenshots of make-of material from the diorama and the initial assets I built. I was given only the cage geometries of the castle parts and then I did the uv mapping, sculpting, baking, texturing, shading and rendering of them.

Cyborg Mecha Bust
Cyborg Mecha Bust
A personal project for a cyborg character bust. My aim was to complete the whole workflow, from a high poly assembly to get normal and cavity maps from, to retopologize a low poly mesh and finally to produce a fully textured realtime version of the bust with a polygon count under 5k triangles.
I got the idea for the bust from a creature head I had worked on, some time ago.

Game Character test
Game Character test
I was given a character sheet (which I am not permitted to show) as a reference to make a realtime character
of maximum polycount 5000 triangles with 3x1024 maps (diffuse, normal, specular).
The final realtime character has 4220 triangles.

Floating Ship Concept
Floating Ship Concept
A 3d concept I made, inspired by the amazing concept work of Ian McQue,
http://mcqueconcept.blogspot.com/ and http://ian_mcque.cghub.com/ .
In order to achieve the specific style of the concept that uses old junkyard pieces as building blocks,
I used several parts from different 3d library models and assembled them together to construct my concept ship.

Character detailing for a realtime project
Character detailing
Character sculpting/detailing that I did for a realtime project. I was given low poly meshes to subdivide them into ZBrush, sculpt them and produce normal and cavity maps to be used on the realtime characters. The models are cut in half because the characters' skin was only partially exposed, since they all were ancient Greek characters and wore robes.

Realtime Zombie Boy
Realtime Zombie Boy
A "zombification" exercise. I received a healthy young 3d boy, as a low poly textured model (the one on the low right corner) by a colleague of mine, Andronikos Antonakakis, put the lad into ZBrush and here is the result.
I gave him an axe as a gift for his new "afterlife" : )
