Three Dimensional Models

Boom Operator Trainer
3D models created while at Quantum3D. About 12 high fidelity aircraft were created all with articulated control surfaces and high resolution texture

Collier Regional Medical Center
A DVD video presentation was created for HHCP Architects for the newly designed medical center in Collier County Florida. The buildings were created using existing drawings and 3D data from Architectural Desktop.

Flight Simulation Training
Several models were created for the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment. I had the privilage of aiding in the integration and tuning of these models into the full-motion simulators

Modeling for Real-Time Applications
While modeling for high resolution pre-render applications such as movies and tv shows is challenging and visually rewarding, modeling for real-time applications has other aspects of complexity which requires skill and sometimes an artistic eye. Different, lower resolution versions of the model are embedded inside the model hierarchy which can be switched on and off depending on where the camera happens to be. Thus a model of a truch which is up close will be at full resolution and when it's far away it will be at its lowest resolution. The trick is switching them so the user can never tell it is switching at all. The picture I created to the left is a good representation of this.

Below are some of examples of real-time models used for simulation and training applications while I was at Quantum3D. Some applications allowed for higher resolution while others had tougher contraints for performance. Here is just a tiny sample of some of the models I created. These models are property of Quantum3D as indicated by the watermark. None of these models contain sensitive or ITAR information.

NLOS
Based on some early prototype images available on the web, I created this version of what I thought the new FCS NLOS (Future Combat Systems Non-line of sight) artillery vehicle would look like when completed.

Here's the real one...I was pretty close, huh.

Miscellaneous Airfields & Models
Here are some examples of models created by myself for miscellaneous projects. I have modeled dozens of airfields for the US Navy's AV-8b trainers but cannot show any of that work. The model of Chicago O'Hare International below was started for a demo but was never completed.

Just for fun
So life isn't just all work and no fun. Here are some 3D tid bits done after hours.
