• Architecture project using photographic textures and Daylight Mental Ray in 3DS Max to create photo realism.  I used various render passes to achieve the final result.

• I helped design the cabinet and worked on Sega Rally 3 Arcade assets. The arcade cabinets were designed with a hydraulic powered seat, for up to 6 machines connected for the ultimate, multi-player driving experience. The WRC Ford Focus 2008 and Icelandic racer are shown in the examples. 10,000 poly budget. Mud, Snow & Dust Build-ups.  VRAY was used for the Focus render, Photoshop for the texture/livery.

• Sega Superstars Racer concepts, to design racing vehicles to suit the characteristics of each Sega character.
• This was a quick 2nd concept visualisation stage.
• Characters included: Alex Kidd, Eggman, Gilius and Monkey Ball.
• All modelled very basically and quickly in Max with simple max material shaders.

• Dr. Eggman's Kart made for ingame demo . I have also added the game textures: Diffuse, Ambient Occlusion, Specular and Normal map.  Renders in VRAY, textures created from Max and Photoshop.

• Combi-Groom, a self contained electric toothbrush and razor. For every young males grooming needs.  Using Solidworks for modelling and 3DS max for rendering.  Ghost X-ray render material used for main unit.

• Patrick Football boot, created in max and used for marketing purposes to sell the idea before put into production.  (Renders and animation)  Texture created in Illustrator and Photoshop.

• Sculptural Light project, I created a working prototype and various engineering drawings.  The 2nd drawing is an exploded view of the base unit construction.  Using an Ink and Paint render material in Max.

• BMXtreme is a Carbon Fibre lightweight freestyle BMX.  Used for competition to perform high difficulty stunts. Rider render was composed in Photoshop, render from Max and 2D image from a magazine.
