I wanted to make these looks as true to an advertisement as possible so accuracy was really important. I used the smallest ruler I could find and measured every part as I went and studied the materials closely to create believable layered shaders. I set myself a tight deadline of 3 days and was relieve to finish it on time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57e836c720099e6ecb81eb37/1491789623175-NPL815RQNEGJ1MHNSPTW/alyssa-erica-morris-earbud-wireframe2.jpg Portfolio - Modeling - Skullcandy - Detail 1 of 2 I modeled in the detail vs using a displacement map to minimize artifacts and get these earbuds as close to the original reference as possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57e836c720099e6ecb81eb37/1491789584525-KTJIWXMY258X50XQKT5K/alyssa-erica-morris-earbud-ao-3.jpg Portfolio - Modeling - Skullcandy - Detail 2 of 2 The L and R lettering is modeled by hand to get as closely to spec as possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57e836c720099e6ecb81eb37/1484953721588-3JSPHDHIOUPQ2WRK56IV/watch_02_small.jpg Portfolio - Modeling - Samsung Gear Fit 2 As an exercise, I modeled and shaded my Samsung Gear Fit 2 watch inside Maya and rendered it with Mental Ray. It took me about 2 and a half days from start to finish. Creating something with such a high level of detail was challenging but I was really happy with how it came out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57e836c720099e6ecb81eb37/1491790616971-Z4SU00XDRW20TV1RJPZL/watch_1_withWire_small.png Portfolio - Modeling - Samsung Gear Fit 2 - Wireframe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57e836c720099e6ecb81eb37/1484953720772-QYAAN0NSWP7FK7CQFPPA/watch_01_small.jpg Portfolio - Modeling - Samsung Gear Fit 2 - Ortho Views https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57e836c720099e6ecb81eb37/1487447547684-W4WKSVXQ34RMFGDP1A6I/shiaBust_BW.2.png Portfolio - Modeling - Shia Labeouf - Study I created this likeness of Shia Labeouf in ZBrush and Keyshot over a couple days. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57e836c720099e6ecb81eb37/1483847205907-0BV4A15WWIWSVM9JAS28/final_v2_01.png Portfolio - Modeling - Charlie I love Bobby Chiu’s work and wanted to bring to life one of his furry, magical creatures. I created this piece based on his concept art using zBrush, Maya, Substance Painter, and Photoshop.

I started in Zbrush, retopo’d by hand in Maya, and painted in Mari.

I started the sculpt in ZBrush before bring him into Maya to retopo and UV. His texture maps are a combination of hand-painted in Mari and procedurally generated inside of Maya.

I sculpted her in ZBrush and retopologized and UV'd her in Maya. I built her body rig using TSM and created a custom facial rig. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57e836c720099e6ecb81eb37/1483991299219-778JE3GG791MJCNND8M2/hazel_CUwireframe.png Portfolio - Modeling - Hazel - Facial Wireframe Hazel has a robust facial rig consisting of dozens of joints and over 150 blendshapes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57e836c720099e6ecb81eb37/1484000608972-M0YQ047LFVP6HIKFHB0T/andi_FS_combo_02.png Portfolio - Modeling - Covered Andi is an original character of mine and future star of my own short. She is a well meaning android that always does her best, but most of the time she comes up short. I used Zbrush and maya to sculpt and rig her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57e836c720099e6ecb81eb37/1484000996372-YZMHB5GOSHQHGMT7D0A6/andi_CU_combo_02.png Portfolio - Modeling - Covered - Facial Wireframe Andi is an original character of mine and future star of my own short. She is a well meaning android that always does her best, but most of the time she comes up short. I referenced Pixar’s facial topology when building her custom body and facial rig in Maya. http://www.alyssaericamorris.com/portfolio-other daily 0.75 2022-01-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57e836c720099e6ecb81eb37/1486173550771-SBX74FPAFR3CCAN914BN/ezgif.com-optimize.gif Portfolio - Other - Aruba Commercial I animated these turbines for an Aruba commercial and created the wireframe shaders. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57e836c720099e6ecb81eb37/1486177393729-OPYUJQNRM7JCOPQMC7Z3/ezgif.com_hazel_animation_test.gif Portfolio - Other - Hazel - Facial Rig + Animation Test I designed a series of rigs for a CCA student film directed by San Oh. Before I sent the rig over to their team I had fun trying it out to make sure it had all the functionality they needed—too much fun. http://www.alyssaericamorris.com/portfolio-lighting daily 1.0 2022-01-18 http://www.alyssaericamorris.com/read-me daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5052176b84aeb45fa5cfcc83/1377096507573-1MU42OOOOGIM9URAJ9D9/515c4225e4b0afec1218b21e.png Read Me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5052176b84aeb45fa5cfcc83/1377096775448-0L7B4Q54H1VLOGFF1DPR/synthetica+%2820130821%29.jpg Read Me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5052176b84aeb45fa5cfcc83/1377097104716-HDI53XJVV0DKZ24A3T68/51e453dee4b06abd3403c22e.png Read Me
