professional 3D modles

This is my favorite professional 3D model, I particularly like it because its from the film Lord Of The Rings trilogy. I like it because it looks authentic and realistic and I hope to one day be able to create things of this magnitude myself. Its very well done and takes allot of time to make and is done by teams of people but the end product is brilliant. This is the model of helms deep:

3D castle in 3ds max

I made a castle in 3ds max following the first on i made i tried to make this one more in depth and detailed, but unfortunately was unable to finish never the less i think it was enjoyable to make and mold to shape.
     I first started making the castle battle tower and using the editable mesh to shape and try to imitate a real life Castle, once finished i duplicated the tower 4 times as to create the four foundation points to my castle, after that I made a wall with archer stations. I also duplicated this wall twice for two sides of the castle, I didn't duplicate four times because two of the walls were smaller than the other two so for them I had to make a new wall using the same principles as the first one, using the editable mesh and a taper to curve and shape the walls. once finished with the outer layer of the castle I started on making an entrance to the fort I deleted part of the larger wall in the centre to make an opening then created a draw bridge using the box tool.
     I then added sides to the bridge to create the elements of a mechanism that would lift and drop the bridge, unfortunately this was as far as I got as I ran out of time, But if i had time i was going to create a hugh buliding inside the castle walls, it would have looked like a palace, a place were the a king would live.

Today I made a castle using 3ds max.  I  first started making  a battle tower then modifying it using by making the tower an editable mesh, once finished with that I tapered the tower so that I could create curves in the tower and bend it around. Once I was happy with the tower i duplicated it four times to create the foundations to my castle. After I made a wall with archer platforms , using the same method as I did to make the battle towers, I also duplicted this four times and and moved them around to create a giant wall around the castle. In the forth wall I made a big hole as to create a moat and a door. This is the product I came out with.

Unit 19 desktop genre collage

This is a collage that I made to represent different game genres, this genres include, sci-fi, horror, fantasy and war. i used pictures from different game magazines such as Edge, to show the different types of games. Allot of it was hard because it was hard to find suitable pictures to go into the collage to cover more than one genre.
      I had to find specific pictures for each type of genre. So that the collage was efficient enough to serve its purpose. Said collage included pictures of popular games which included, Viking, Alien vs predator, ninja gaiden and ofcourse Call of duty modern warfare. This gave lots of variety to the collage and helped singeling out each genre and type of the game.
