I began 3D modeling in 2011 by making content for the Steam Workshop for Valve Software's Team Fortress 2. Since then, I have done a lot of 3D work for my own game projects, as assets for sale to others, and even just for fun, in addition to continuing to create Workshop content for TF2.

3D Characters

An assortment of 3D characters I have designed.

Colton

Colton, officially referred to as "Colton the Jolly Minecart," is the star of Colton's Runaway Rails, an endless-runner-style platforming game for Android which I developed solo in the Unity engine. There is both a high-poly model used for close-ups on menus and a low-poly model used during gameplay.

Colton can also wear a variety of costumes and accessories, which are layered over his default model and rig.

All concepting, 3D modeling, texturing, and rigging is my own.​

Floria

Floria is a character created for a 3D platformer prototype I am working on. She is a plant-like humanoid creature who is very quick and agile. She was designed around the abilities provided to the player by the 3D character controller I've developed. For example, her overall streamlined look was made to complement her speedy movement; her broad, flat hands are wing-like to provide gusts of air for both double-jumps and midair dashing; and she was given retractable vines to allow her to grapple to walls and swing in the air.

All design, modeling, texturing, rigging, and animation was done by me. The toon shader used on Floria is from the FlatKit package on the Unity Asset Store.

Themed 3D Weapons

Started as a simple modeling exercise, ​I have begun developing a prototype for a first-person arena shooter around these models. The goal of the project is to create multiple sets of skins for each weapon type in collections based on specific themes, such as the Old West or space travel. Each set includes seven items: a shotgun, a revolver, a Thompson-style submachine gun, a grenade launcher, a sniper rifle, a rocket launcher, and a minigun.

​All models are fully rigged for use in Unity. Each model for the same type of weapon uses a rig with identical structure so that animations can be re-used across models.

High Noon

A collection based on the Old West, specifically the revolvers commonly seen in media depicting that era. Each weapon incorporates features of an 1800's revolver, with some features being functional and others purely ornamental depending on the weapon.

Space (Arms) Race

Designs inspired by NASA spacecraft. The rigs and proportions for these models are the same as the High Noon Collection above, intended to be compatible with the same animation sets for easy interchangeability.

Team Fortress 2 Steam Workshop Content

A small selection of the numerous items I have created for the Steam Workshop for Team Fortress 2​. All submissions are considered by Valve for inclusion as in-game cosmetic items for players.

Rough Rider + Blockhead

A pair of items inspired by US President Theodore Roosevelt, usable by the Soldier and the Engineer. The Rough Rider is a team-colored jacket with brown gloves, and the Blockhead gives the character Roosevelt's iconic hat, glasses, and moustache.

These items were designed by another Steam user, whose profile can be found in the list of contributors on the pages linked below. (Their username changes frequently, making it difficult to credit them here.) The promotional images below were created by Steam user Kybes. All modeling, texturing, and rigging was done by me.

Serviceman's Souvenir

 A version of Soldier's helmet bearing heavy battle damage, including bullet holes, cracks, scratches, and a fully-detached left side secured with duct tape.

All concepting, 3D modeling, texturing, rigging, jigglebone configuration, and promotional materials are my own.
