Neon Nexus | Rubicon Unleased

Project 1 - Neon Nexus : Digital Dystopia

Neon Nexus is my latest project. It's an environment of a semi-cyberpunk looking city. For the base of this project, I referenced the cover photo of a book called cyberpunk city by D.L. Young for which the artwork was created by Ignacio Bazan Lazcano. It was also my second project using Houdini and It's a great achievement for me. I use OSM Street data for the city layout and background buildings. I used Maya for modelling all the Hero props. Texturing was fully procedural within Houdini. Lastly for rendering V-ray was my choice of the render engine.

I created this project under the mentorship of Gianluca Pizzaia during my mentorship term at Think Tank Training Center.

All aspects of this project are created by me.

Project 2 - Rubicon Unleashed

This was a vehicle model I created for my Advanced Term at Think Tank Training Center under the supervision of Patrick Kilcher.

The background was an HDRI. I use Maya for modelling the vehicle and Mari for Texturing. V-Ray was my renderer of choice.
