                    Hi there,

                    I just dug out a few 3d concepts I did for a sci-fi game a few years ago. I cannot name the name of the game yet.

                    These are some kind of alien devices. Modeled in Sketchup and rendered with Vray.

                    http://i593.photobucket.com/albums/tt12/ken28875/sci_fi 02/Alien_attachments.jpg

                    http://i593.photobucket.com/albums/tt12/ken28875/sci_fi 02/Alien_attachments_lines.jpg

                    I will post some more soon.

                    Have a great day! โ˜€

                                **Hi Everyone,

                                So as I have mentioned before, my contract with EA/Maxis working on Simcity 5 has ended last November. Unfortunately, I cannot post anything yet.

                                Not having job is not so fun as I still have to pay bills and support my family. On the other hand, I can do what I want. I finally have some free time to work on personal projects different from what I would do for work. I did a bunch of vehicles (sci-fi and realistic contemporary/ Tanks, boats, airplanes, etc.).

                                Keep watching for this thread as I will add some of more my recent concepts.

                                Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day! โ˜€

                                Best,

                                    Here's another personal project, less sci-fi, more contemporary and realistic.

                                        **Here's a combat droid. I did some before but they were smaller and less detailed. I really had fun working on this one. I will try to do some more when I have time.

                                        Have a great day!

                                          Hi everyone,

                                          I hope you had a good weekend.

                                          Here are some older renders I did using one of the droids I posted in this thread a while ago.

                                          Sketchup + Lumion3D + Photoshop.

                                          Have a great week!

                                            Well that doesn't look like anything I've seen done in Lumion as yet! It's so pretty for scene of destruction! Thanks for posting Ken. I think we may be benefiting to see works from your free time. I hope you get hooked up soon though, if not already.
