Hey guys, just spent the first part of my Holiday break building and texturing a model of an Airboat.

Boat created using Cinema 4D. Highly detailed for close up shots and animations. Textures are jpegs. The hull texture and both rudder blades were created using layers in Photoshop, and you can download these files as well to customize this model.

Hello again!

This is a detailed model of the Charger Police Cruiser.

Perfect for mid to close range use in photos and videos.

Model has great outside detail. The inside is complete with interior package (seats, steering wheel, dash, ect) but is not textured.

All texture files are in customizable TIFF’s. Also download the Photoshop file to customize the paint scheme and graphics the way you see fit. The light bar, push bumper, and all police package accessories are independent files so they can easily be hidden or deleted to have the basic Charger model.

This is a model I created of the Coast Guard’s 33ft Special Purpose Craft – Law Enforcement (SPC-LE).

The SPC-LE is the newest addition to the Coast Guard fleet of multi-mission ships, aircraft, boats and command-and-control systems. SPC-LE is a 33-foot aluminum mono hull with a 10-foot beam and foam collar. It is powered by three 275-horsepower engines capable of speeds in excess of 50 knots and is capable of operating more than 30 miles from shore. It is equipped with a state-of-the-art navigation system and secure communications capability.

This Low-Poly Model was created using Maxon Cinema 4D. It contains 2 objects (the hull and the cabin) and each has its own texture map named the same for easy texturing. Both Photoshop files are included for download after purchase of this model for customization.

There is talk of Mississippi State unveiling a new football helmet for next year. The pictures that are floating around have us going back to the maroon helmets with a white M State logo. You can view these photos here. This is a rendering I did of the new concept.

I created the helmet in Cinema 4d and designed the logo in Photoshop. I like the helmet design and will probably be doing more teams from time to time.

I turned to the History Channel the other day and watched a show on the Civil War that had a story about the Hunley, a Confederate Submarine. Since my wife is out of town and I had nothing else to do I decided to model it.

I had an idea to do a short clip with the camera starting off in the water during a night time battle with the Hunley. As the camera comes out of the water you see the top part of her hull with explosions in the background on land. Don’t hold your breath on that one though. Just a thought.

Anyways, I will at least be posting this on Turbosquid for sale. I’ll update you as soon as I do that.

Here is another video I have created of a UFO. It is the same model I used in the Jupiter Lighthouse UFO with the exception of the lights on it. And unlike the Jupiter UFO, the whole scene was done in Cinema 4d. The trees, the houses and the environment. All the post effects (camera blur, zoom and fade) were done in After Effects.

I got the actual guys talking from another UFO video on YouTube. I then mixed the vocals with the craft sounds, the dogs and the sirens in Audacity.

I am hoping to come out with a tutorial at some point on how I achieved each effect. I am also going to start on another UFO video that will hopefully blow these last two out of the water. You only get better with practice. I guess that’s it, oh and if your wondering what gave me the idea for all of this check out ManBird12000. His videos are great and he is the one who started the Haiti UFO video craze. I would love to have done something like that but everyone is pretty well informed with what a little talent and the right programs can deliver. Read Article »
