Kennedy Chiu - 2009 Modeling and Texturing Demo reel

[HammerFallForTheWin]

Loved it. But your robot looks to shiny to be so scratched up. Did you use a blin material for the texture?

[KennedyChiu]

@HammerFallForTheWin well for the robot i was trying to achieve the look of the startcraft2 marine trailer, its all scratch up but yet its still shiny. I find that its the best way to show off your bump map. it is a blinn material.

[elmsniper]

Mate, you''re amazing! Seriously, they all look great! I wan''t to become somenone just like you

[KennedyChiu]

@elmsniper thanks :)

[subd3]

Are you still working for DMG?

[KennedyChiu]

@subd3 Do you mean Disney interactive media group? The company is called Propaganda Games. If so our studio was shut down by Disney roughly two years ago :(

[m3tr0idgrl]

i kinda dont get the robot part....... theres a shine to it... and yet it has battle scars?

[NickGimacutU]

@m3tr0idgrl he clear coated the scratches?? maybe lol jk

[KennedyChiu]

@NickGimacutU /watch?v=RHfI46cwBbE this was the original idea that I was going for, but I guess I didn't define the material well enough :P

[infinitesimotel]

the bike is just BEAST!

[KennedyChiu]

@infinitesimotel Glad you like it :P

[JenerationNation]

What is your degree in?

[KennedyChiu]

@JenerationNation 3D modeling for Games and Animation

[zk4tw]

Hydra ftw! Great animation mate, best hopes you got into w/e you wanted to. :D

[KennedyChiu]

@zk4tw Thanks mate :)

[TheMaggylu]

A.b.s.o.l.u.t.l.y. GREAT! Nothing more to say...

[Simplemindedgenius]

Akira bike?

[KennedyChiu]

@Simplemindedgenius Its inspired by that and the 1984 Tron light cycle

[hydroblast9]

0:30 is that reel steel

[StylizedGravity]

plz up load tutorials



[insertcooluser]

You robot should've gone first dude. Cars are boring.

[brasanford1]

I'd have to say I love the motorcycle

Bradley

Full Sail University

Computer Animation.

[Turanic1]

I wish I was taught this properly on my multimedia course

[KennedyChiu]

@Turanic1 Well, AI only teaches you fundamental, I sped quite a lot of time going through tutorial, books, and other artists work. Gnomon tutorial is a great place to start!

[Kevimw]

Hello, I'm glad for the effort performed.

I am a Linux enthusiast, and suddenly I'm thinking that if you publish this game on your site or some

forum for Linux, you can become a bit more popular because the demand for games for Linux and open source is little, and even if it is closed source, we still have a few.

See an example Idsoftware throws some games for Linux, in which I like, such as Quaker, Doom3 and others.

[tobioathayde]

Caraca. muito louca essas modelagens.

[HomeEditingStudio]

Subbed, niceeeeeee

[vencugar]

two things. what software do you use and how on earth do rener your showreel so that you can show off your topology aswell?

[KennedyChiu]

@vencugar I used Maya and Zbrush, the wireframe is done by something that is similar to toon shader. Google it up its not hard to do. The final composition is done in after effects

[MrCatfail]

wow... I'd love to see some of that stuff in a game! it's bloddy amazing!

[KennedyChiu]

@MrCatfail Thanks man, I hope to see it in game one day :P

[mrgiloz]

amazing work kennedy wish someday i could take a course in vancouver but i live in egypt and i dont know anything about this school so can u help me on that..?? where is it...and how much its gonna cost me?? thanks

[KennedyChiu]

@mrgiloz You don't have to take course in Vancouver actually, there are tons of online workshops, all you need is a computer that runs maya, and internet connection :)

[mrgiloz]

@KennedyChiu will keep that in mind :) thanks

[Zeues777]

if that moterbike at the end was real, i'd hate to think how much it'd cost. XD

[BlockisticStudios]

so shiny.

[tariq0513]

Kennedy, you are awesome.. love your work..

[KennedyChiu]

@tariq0513 Thanks

[L2DragonHunter]

damn... if this was in command and conquer that will totally kickass :D

[sonickjuice]

song name?

[ean213]

lol at 1:29 looks like a Tyranid from DoW good job tho :)

[SOGDragoona]

@ean213 It's from Starcraft. Although, most of Starcraft WAS ripped off of Warhammer 40k, so you're partially of right.

[SOGDragoona]

@SOGDragoona Partially right... -_- whatever.

Btw, amazing demo reel, I especially love the motorcycle at the end

[ETeeskiTutorials]

Very nice, what do you do your textures in?

[artjagman1]

Love the integration of the conceptual bike at the end clip, nice compositing

[hilllbilllyjoe]

ho dayum, nice work!

[mobspeak]

aren't the normals and the diffuse in the wrong place?

[tranez2205]

may I have a question ? ... where is the foot rest of the bike ? ... :D ... anyway , very cool models ... especialy the Hydralisk ...

[Disshock]

thats all nice but can you draw people

[PanekPL]

A gook in Canada. of course

[MrWFSJR]

WoW

[Aanthanur]

you second model, has worn off armor (the paint looks worn) but the reflections are perfect, you should have used reflectionmaps so the worn off parts dont reflect that perfect

[Sea153]

hi, can I ask you how did you make the wireframe showing so elegantly like that?

[jokerarayko]

How did you do the wireframe animation?

[MDSJudicator]

Motorbike was sick! Great work bro.

[ShadowDatsas]

Very nice concepts and execution. You mostly do this with maya right?

Could you tell me what is the main material of Camaro? It is very very reflective.

[MrJBolton2009]

@ShadowDatsas hey i know you asked him but it was most likely a phong nobe anything besides a lambert would be fine for custom speculars,. phong is the most reflective,.

[MrAdham76]

good job keep going on

[AnimaxTrojan2007]

It is one of the best presentations I've seen. Very well kept, great detail, I like the reflection effect that gives the flat surfaces of metal. Follow so congratulations excellent design work.

[BluMonkiSpartan]

not dissing the video or anything...but to think FORZA 4 in game cars look way more realistic than this is an astounding accomplishment!

[iDusty909]

Love your work - subscribed and hope to see more soon!

[masterflamewing234]

so which ones better maya or 3ds max?

[MrGoNzObeAtZ]

Nice work! How many years of school does this take ?

[nosox96]

download CryEngine3 its for free :D (non comp) with your 3D skills you can make awesome games :D

greez nos

[FENERxBOY]

which program do you use?

[Salem77k]

Creative man ! .

[HalleckSharts]

Kick ass work, my friend. +fave!

[72dew]

you fucking son of a bitch!! just when i thought i was good!! ima kill you now. you're sooo damn good!

i'll actually suck your dick for your talents

[diliprajkumar]

Cool reel bro, where did you get the concept for the motor cycle?..is it ur own concept?

[JuvenilRodriguess]

Okay with you? I hope so .... hugs

[MitchRefaei]

Very cool dude, what is the name of the song?

[anewell41]

Are these UV mapped?

[kornsterking]

I went to school with ken. He is great dude, and an even better artist.

[gta2076]

the motorcycle is designed very well! sic work, im impressed

[shreejianimation]

Gr8 job Kennedy Chiu....... you are motivation to others....

[NickHylands]

That motorcycle sis UBER-SEXY

[XeresKyle]

Loved the motorcycle, it looked sexy as hell! The graphics agorithms are freaking insane. Make a game dude!!

[Arunictrichloride]

PS. Great reel man. Hope ur making 6 figure income at the moment

[Arunictrichloride]

Question: Where those vehicles nurbs models or polygonal?

[born2model3d]

That bike render was freakintastic!!!!!!!

Those transformers guys should higher u.....

:)

[y2kfolife]

niceee. that "hydralisk" is so Final Fantasy style.

good look bro.

[tommy8714]

dude get ur arse into games designing ur epic

[Da3dBlender]

@tommy8714

Unfortunately, there's a huge difference between game design and what this guy is doing. When making games, you've got to keep in mind that you your computer can't handle to much detail. But thit is epic for sure!

[Aanthanur]

@Da3dBlender nowadays game chars get rendered in this andbetter quality anyway, as they need to render the bimb maps.

[Aanthanur]

@Aanthanur *bump

[Gates2Aion]

Awesome work dude =D .... I've got a suggestion but it's very very small xD I think the glass or shadows are a little dark like you should be able to make out what's inside the car... Damn that robot looks so bad ass!!!!!

[p1zawL]

Awesome Demo Reel, very well composited. I appreciate that you showed your maps and the subtle animation with the wireframes was a nice touch as well. Pure Gangsta

[FluffyMuffinFilms]

My God incredible work, can I have your system specs?

[Ron619productions]

hello i am modeling artist & i have a question .........can u tell me how to render D wireframe as seen on the camaro in the above reel......:/

[Anime2D3D]

WOW i think my head is going to explode the car, Robot, Bike

amazing amazing amazing

very good work

[bluetounge]

i feel sick

[rhandros]

What's the name of the song? Really good job.

[shreyashpai2010]

wowwwwwww..!!!

[Omikron1011]

great job dude!

did you learn all that at the art institute?

by the way, i'd feel sorry for the guy who crash your bike, he'd be cut in a half... great design though!

[animateur23]

عمل رائع وتستحق الشكر عليه

تحياتي

[imurmslmman]

2:04 EPIIIIC !!!

i loved it all, youre so amazin'

[GFOgravedigger]

What is your PC build of?

[KennedyChiu]

@GFOgravedigger Well, the spec of my PC is built for mostly gaming but its good enough to model stuff with Maya.

[GFOgravedigger]

@KennedyChiu

wouw, i have a gamer rig to, but in Vue 9 it sucks. Some pictures can take up to 48 houers to render.

[blackviper71489]

@KennedyChiu hey man i use maya also you have any advice on a good laptop. i think your wook is great even if it was in 09 you probably have better work now.

[blackpaladin4]

@KennedyChiu Very nice models :D

But i have a question

How did you done effect at 0:07 (that running wire on the model)

I really want to learn how to do that.

Can you send me link to video tutorial or something?

[Roninlord25a]

amazing work. hope you land a job. hell with that motorcycle design they should be knocking down your door.

[mrflip1000]

excellent work. the bike looked great!

[TheNDstudio]

I am 14, and ive got my student copy of maya and on my way (hopefully) to something as good as this!

[caveman357]

the bike at the end was too real!!!

[SuperGamer87]

Dude, you gotsem' skills.

[drat250]

Meh, the shader on the robot looks really fake because of the obvious reflectivity of the enviro map, it looks hyper polished yet your diffuse map has serious scratches in it. If anything use a damn reflectivity map!

[SuperGamer87]

@drat250 Can I see YOUR awesome mecha then? ;)

[mufaPufaDha]

OMG...

im speechless +_+

that bike is soooooooooo mmmmmmhhh...

[mightymadhu1]

its simply superb/////

[Emaology]

[Procastinator47]

wow which renderer do you use for these renders? Vray?

[chandrakeerthi31]

have u used hdri for lighting?....



[Vovan07]

Nice reel man, The bike is definitely ur best, the only thing, i think u should work on the spec of that mecha, it really doesnt work with your textures... The spec is all shiny and the surface looks like its damaged and supposed to be dull... other then that great reel! drop a line on my reel if you get a chance! good luck!

[nononadieable]

this is probably THE best modeling demo reel I have ever seen man, and I've seen a whole lot. Good luck on all your things in the future.

[nononadieable]

[Aeon333Flux]

[SidewindR14K]

Easily the one of the bets on youtube.

[DeeBingo2]

Hey man, your renders, materials, and hard surface work is inspiring! Great work! :D

[MrGokulesh]

can u just please tell me how to render in wire frame

[SidewindR14K]

@MrGokulesh hey im not sure how he does it, but if i wanna render in wire frame all i do is clone the model u want, put a shell mod on it(play around with the settings) and then go to ur mats, and put a black texture on it and click the wireframe box. hope that helps

[Nickwansice]

One word - - - - Amazing!!!

[Blackgam3r]

NOW THIS IS A FUCKING DEMO REEL! Better than that last mofo I was looking at.

[Sejommula]

[hemagoku]

WOW WOW WOW ,this ...... just WOW !!! ,specially that mecha ,is this maya or 3d max ?

[KennedyChiu]

@hemagoku this is done in maya

[CheSuerte]

@KennedyChiu Im so ready to see the new reel. Go go HD reel!

[BravoBlanc]

[TXUMINEIRO]

[4kx]

wow;d

[filipp3d]

качество 360 ? а где 480, где 720 ? я требую хорошего HD качества ! )))

[MishkaSky]

Very sick man!! But as someone mentioned about the high reflections on your robot where the feet are. I am sure you can fix that np. I love the motorcycle too, great work! Apply everywhere, you will find a job with this for sure.

[Ginko26]

Whoa, why aren't next-gen game developers hiring you? Your models look better than theirs!

[SidewindR14K]

i think i just jizzed... ur awesome !

[CthulhuFTW]

I want that motorcycle so goddamn bad. Good work.

[laertelaerte]

very good, note 10!!!

:)

[Basalisk172]

I love it all, the suport needs some dulling but i'm only 13 i wouldn't really know :P you make me want to learn to do this

[ans7766]

Your reel is one of the best 3d artist reels I've seen on Youtube. Congrats! And wish you the best on our Industry.

[silveralejo]

motorcycle and air support unit are the best

5 stars

[highflycloud9]

nice demo keep up the good work

[lysenko133]

How long does it take to learn how to model like you do. Im just amazed of the motorcycle video. Pure and simple god like work.

[ihrstic]

Hey man this looks awesome! Keep up the good work!

Can you tell me name of the song please?

[shotangone]

Wow! I just love the composite of the motorcycle at the end. very smooth!

[DusterPanCake]

niccce!!!!

[Arunictrichloride]

honest question. Are you God?

[megalmn2000]

Stunning works!

[walonn3dmax]

wow gr8 man what did u use maya or 3dsmax

i love the conceptual motorcycle awesome man keepp it up the gr8 work.

[KennedyChiu]

thanks buddy, everything is made in Maya :D

[Spartan12345]

Very well done. The only crit I have is on your air support unit. He seems to have too much reflections on spots that have alot of wear, especially around the foot area. There seems to be many scratches and dents, but they still reflect and have high specular highlights. This should not be the case. Apart from that, great job, great camera positioning, very well done.

[KennedyChiu]

Thanks for the tipi am reworking on my reel now i will be sure to fix that specular problem
