"Main Interface"

I had the pleasure of creating the main interface for this casino game developed by Wayforward Technologies in late 1999. I modeled this device using Softimage and then created the texture maps in photoshop before I moved onto creating the 30 or so animations that were required. All in all, I spent roughly 100 hours on this one. Sample animations can be viewed by clicking on one of the links below:

This was actually the first area I created for this particular game project. I created all the models in Softimage and made the texture maps in Photoshop before I moved onto creating the 30 or so animations required for this scene. All in all, I spent less than 200 hours on this scene. Sample animations can be viewed by clicking on one of the links located under the "Pirate Ship" category directly below:

This was the second scene that I created for this project and was by far the most bizzare! If I recall, there were well over 50 or so animations for this one and I have included a few samples of them below (see "Carnival"). The great thing about working for Wayforward on this game was that they gave me a lot of freedom to spend the time I wanted so that I could refine everything according to my own satisfaction. I believe that this scene and all the animations included took almost a full month to complete.

I wanted to include this model of the main interface to show just how texture-intensive a project like this really is. As you can tell, not much time is actually spent on modeling but a whole lot of time is spent on creating textures and lighting (and then having to wait very patiently on the cpu to render of course!).
