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.

Best,

>> Thanks for your comment, Karl.

**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!
