Hi guys,
It's nice to be back. I apologize for the lack of updates the past half year. Things have been quite hectic.
My grandfather passed away a few months ago. I spent a few days in Los Angeles with my family to attend the funeral.
Back to San Francisco, I was really busy finishing the game Rift that was shipped on March. You can check out the website here if you're into MMO: http://www.riftgame.com/en/. So the NDA was lifted and I now can share some of my concepts/Sketchup models that I did the past 3.5 years. You can see them in the Fantasy thread: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=27028
I also worked on some sci-fi stuff for Trion's Defiance MMO: http://www.defiance.com/en/. However, since the game is not out yet, I cannot show you my Sketchup models due to NDA.
But here are some personal projects.
As usual, modeling was done in Sketchup; texturing inside Sketchup and done in Photoshop; rendering with VRay for Sketchup; postworks in Photoshop.
Thanks for viewing and have a terrific day,
_KN

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.
I will post some more soon.
Have a great day!

**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!
Best,
_KN**

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!
