- Hummer Model - This is a humvee model that I created in 3D Studio MAX 9 for a class. All the textures were provided by the instructot and it was my responsability to create the model and apply the different textures. The end result is a "realistic" humvee that demonstrates my skill using 3D Studio. (Copyright 2008 DigiPen (USA) Corp.)
- Various Models and Textures - Contained here are 2 .obj and 2 .png files for models and textures I did for the gun and player of my game Hunter. The latter ended up not getting used in-game.
