Lightsabers

I had some extra time, so I made Anikin Skywalker's Lightsaber.

YJFC Pictures

Some pictures of the epee to be used in an upcoming banner for the Yellow Jacket Fencing Club.

Sorry about the misalignment and the weird shading. I can provide the .ipn files if necessary.

Possible format for the poster?

Ray Gun

Here is a quick solid-state retro futuristic ray-gun I made in half an hour. I want to see where I can go with this and hopefully expand it out into some more professional-looking designs and perhaps a series of different ray-guns or retro-future.


Like I said, a very basic and un-finished design. I have to say I was very pleased with the way the handle turned out.

One more blueprint

After looking at the last blueprint I posted, I felt like most of the detail was left out due to the scale of the drawing. I made a new one with detailed views and it looks a great deal better.


Apparently there is some artifacts leftover from the rendering process on the isometric view but the detailed views still look good and that was my main goal.

Stargate Blueprint

I thought that this would be a cool thing to have up. A "blueprint" of the Stargate!

Gotta catch em' all!

I just started playing Pokemon Soulsilver, a remake of my favorite game in the series, and got a bit hooked. Like any rational pokemon obsessed person, I made stuff in Inventor that glorified pokemon. 

I have only made a pokeball so far but I intend to make a full heal and a few potions. Possibly even a pokecenter. 

 The closed pokeball

The closed pokeball again but with features outlined this time

The inside of the pokeball, I could not get the hinge right so I just split it in two. I hope this answers a lot of questions for some people 

Both open and closed pokeballs sitting on a table. Stupid pillar... 

I thought a wireframe would look pretty neat. 


Thanks for looking! I hope you enjoyed it! If you have a favorite kind of pokeball, let me know and if enough people choose it, I'll make it!

Finished!!

The Stargate is finally completed! This thing was a heck of a job. There were so many minuscule details over the surface of the ring and they caused Inventor to crash a couple of times due to memory issues. I am very pleased with the whole thing. Every part that needs to move, can move ie. the chevrons and the constellation ring.  I rendered a lot of JPGS of it so I hope you enjoy looking at it as I did making it.

An isometric view with very little detail exposed.

A bit more detail....


Front view 

The best view I could make showing the most amount of detail while still showing the full ring

Zoomed in a bit more. I did not realize that you still cant see the smaller details fully. 

Chevron one is encoded. Also probably the best picture showing off the smaller details of the ring.

Inventor has some pretty nifty 3D dioramas that you can render in. I feel like this back drop suits the Stargate the best.

Stargate in the middle of a courtyard. Looks kinda arty. 



And Finally......


Rolling down a road lol


I really hope you enjoyed looking at my work. This took me a total of 8 hours to design and I am quite proud. Let me know if you want to see any more views of the Stargate or any more of its detail and I would be happy to post them. 

Up next... Sabers and Foils? Or maybe something sci-fi again?
