Warcraft Style Weapon creation

I sketched out some weapon designs to begin modeling last week. 

Here's the 2-handed battle axe

1-handed caster mace

1-handed axe

2-handed battle mace, dubbed "The Pen"

(get it?)

2-handed sword.

Keep in mind, these are just the base meshes, so they are very rough and untextured.

Car Render

I've been working with image-based lighting to get a photorealistic render of the Prelude, using a tutorial on DigitalTutors.com. 

Here is a before rendering:

Here's the after rendering:

I need to still work on the texture files for the glass to remove the grainy look to it, as well as work on the overly-shiny tires.

Back to the Prelude

I finished the major components of the Prelude thus far. Here are a few renders of the vehicle with stock mentalray lighting.

Updated UV Maps

Continuing on the trend of texturing the building, I completed getting the UVs set up for texturing on the entire building. In doing this I had to shrink part of it down, and in doing so had to go into the file in Photoshop and move/shrink the texture to fit the new placement of the UVs.

Here is the current UV setup:

Building UVing Update

Today I've been working with the UVs on the building. I combined most of the building together into one mesh, moving around the UVs to fit into one scene. There is still one beam in that section of the building I haven't fixed the UVs on so that a texture is applied, but once I do that it'll all be set and ready for the rest of the building. Here are some shots of what I've done.

Current work on abandoned building

I decided to have it look roughed up by more than just time by adding pieces of my Mech model into the scene. here are a couple playblast/render videos of the scene so far.
