                  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 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.

                                            Hi Peter,

                                            Thanks for you kind words.

                                            Yeah, it's nice to have free time to work on personal stuff. However, I still need to pay the bills and support the family.

                                            I had a couple of interviews with some game companies, but they decided to pursue other candidates. A recruiter, friend of mine who worked in the same company some years ago, just emailed me today. He actually has a job opening that he want to talk to me about. We'll see how things go.

                                            Have a great day!
