Demo Reel 2009

Still working on some animations for this thing, but this is what I have so far.

Water?

Water using Maya nParticles... really should have tried to figure out realflow.

Force Feild Shader

this was a project from my 3D Visual FX class, I think it came out a little weird, I may go back into it and fix it up with some fluid or particle effects or something.

Magic

Magic Effect using Maya 3D Fluid Effects and particle effects.

Campfire

Campfire using Maya 3D fluid effects and nparticles for the smoke. still needs a bit of fixing up though, I need to adjust the rate of the smoke to and add in the the "sparks" from the fire... and of course I would like to go back and texture everything.

Caveman Project

Untitled from Travis Fruci on Vimeo.

Just a very short clip from the 3D Studio Production project I was apart of a few quarters ago. Big thanks to Brian who did an amazing job with the lighting and rendering, and Jorge for just being all around awesome, and of course everyone else on the team, I'm still amazed we made a complete animated short in less then 11 weeks.

see the whole short here http://vimeo.com/7335085

FISH!

so pretend there's bubbles that come out of the chest... or that the chest is a crab that moves suddenly

Uh pretty much the same as before... not really sure what movie the sound clip is from.

Compositing Project

Here is my Compositing Project I did a few quarters ago. I would like to state that I am not trying to promote Apple or any of their products. It was a requirement of the assignment

Heavy Lift Animation

Another 3D Character Animation, This one is fully rendered and I'm going to try to start using Vimeo to upload my videos on this site. Also look for updated full renders of my other animations.

Character Run Animation

3D Walk Cycle

Character Turn Around

just a quick render of the Character I rigged. more renders and a quick animation coming soon

so you might be saying.... "Travis you haven't posted anything in way too long.... you suck" or maybe that's just me... sorry new post soon.

My first Character Model..... the second one was.... not so good.

hmmm.... it takes a long time for video to upload any way this animation still needs some clean up work but I like how it's coming along.

so I was in class and my friend got on my case for not posting in.... 3 months? eh I didn't know anyone read this thing.

Eye made in Maya (Thanks Maney for the help with the vanes)

some of my 3D Material and Lighting work. In the first one the lower right picture is a photograph and the upper two I created in Maya. The second project I modeled and textured in the style of "The Incredibles"

ARRRRGH!!!!!

so my computer got hit with a virus and I had to re install windows and finals are racing toward me so I may not get to posting my archived work right away... I'll try and post new work as they are finished.

OK so here we go. This first post is just a few of my older more traditional works from some of my fundimental classes. Thank you John Harper one of the best art teachers I've ever had the privilege to learn from.

Perspective sketch in Horton Plaza. I used cool gray prismacolor markers and a black pen


Prismacolor olor pencils

the next two are acrylic paint and pen

More traditional to come when every I get to scanning it in
