I haven't updated in quite a while... but more importantly, here is the newest and biggest piece of news! In December of last year I packed my bags and moved to Dallas (Richardson specifically) Texas to Join the team at id Software. I feel very honored and humbled to join such a legendary production house. Here are a few of their past projects we've enjoyed over the years:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-q4XiirF-Js4/UvnO3ZuSXkI/AAAAAAAAC6Y/r50C6HnoaJg/s1600/IdLogos.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-q4XiirF-Js4/UvnO3ZuSXkI/AAAAAAAAC6Y/r50C6HnoaJg/s1600/IdLogos.jpg" height="281" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Now that I've been here a couple months I can safely say it is a solid team, working on an awesome project. I feel that much of the past five years of my career have been building to , and training me for this opportunity. I am also excited that I finally get to work with <a href="http://www.hugomartin.net/" target="_blank">Hugo Martin </a> . Coincidentally, he was one of my first teachers when I moved to LA. Though everyone I've met and had the honor of working with there has been equally awesome. Dallas has also been an exciting adventure, as I actually went to highschool in the area, and have been reconnecting with old friends and exploring how the city has changed.<br />
<br />
While I am hoping to make it to a few Game Dev events this year, everyone should come to Dallas in July for <a href="http://www.quakecon.org/" target="_blank">Quake Con 2014 </a>to hang out!!! Its going to be totally awesome and there will be lan parties everywhere (though technically the whole thing is a massive lan party)!!!!!!! It is totally free!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
In other news, I briefly worked for Trion Worlds in San Diego on expansions and season 2 development for "<span id="goog_1766492288"></span><span id="goog_1766492289"></span><a href="http://www.defiance.com/en/" target="_blank">Defiance</a>". I did enjoy working with the team there, though sadly the studio shut down shortly after I started. I still enjoyed the experience as it introduced me to new friends, and new perspective on the industry. <br />
<br />
To Infinity and Beyond!<br />

Here is a collection of more finalized concepts for Insomniac's latest game FUSE, for Xbox and PS3. Released in may, this is the first time Insomniac worked on a multi platform title. It was a great experience working on this project with the team! </div>

I plan on uploading it all to the blog, but until then, there is more on my <a href="http://www.colingeller.com/" target="_blank">website!</a></div>

During game production ideas generally start with a sketch. Sometimes that sketch goes on to be a super sweet looking concept or illustration. Sometimes there isn't enough time for that and sketches are just used to help ideas get out there and production takes what they can from it and moves on. These are some of those sketches. Most of these where done during a period of time early to mid 2011- mid 2012. Many where just a stepping stone for other ideas. I'd say at least a few are final concepts ( first image).<br />

Occasionally we also did sketches to help the team layout levels. None of these represent the layout of the final game levels, but it was a fun experience during development. Also note all the names here are for a very outdated version of the script. </div>

In other news I've finished my second term teaching Environment Concept Design for games at Laguna College of Art & Design with Nathan Fowkes. It has been a great journey sharing the information I've learned from so many others to the students. Through this small step into education I've gotten a better understanding of not only the process of teaching, as well as learning more about the craft itself. Sharing what you know with others is a great way to re-enforce and better understand the whole process from start to finish. I'm thankful to all those I've learned from, and look forward to more opportunities to share my experience. </div>

Not to be confused with transformers of the same name.... even though it transforms. Though it has no 'discuise' its a clunky flying machine that can unfold some heavy duty legs with rollers and simple claws. Inspired by everything from Star Trek to Ghost in the Shell.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These are the 3D roughs. I spent a little more time on this one blocking everything in at least to match a visual function. I imagine the inside of the 'knee' joints can slide up and down on the inside of the legs. I like the look of the cages you see around deep sea submersibles and I felt it would be fitting. Not to mention the little forearms (also similar to a few Ghost in the Shell robots)</div>

Put your brain past the ridiculousness of this; the idea is that one rifle can carry both short and long .223 rounds. The clips both feed into a single barrel and the user can switch between the two on the fly. One is for long range assault, the other for close range spray. </div>

This is a work in progress. I spent more time fiddling around with Maya's rendering settings and got some global illumination in there. I dropped a background and some quickie photoshop filters in a few areas to get the heat shimmer. All of this was a learning experience I can put into the final piece. </div>

<span style="text-align: left;">Continuing my process of "sketching it out" in 3D and then painting over the model. This time I went with a aircraft. I've seen this style of angular/negative space hull design in a few Scott Robertson Art Center designs, and I thought it cool. So now now here we are. All of the rendering is done in Photoshop, on top of a slightly modified background image. </span></div>

So one of my all time favorite things to draw, design, and pretend to have, are space ships. I've learned a lot over the years and more recently, I've been applying various techniques and process into my personal work. The process used for these was pretty straight forward : "Sketch" in 3D program, then draw over the outcome. For each of these I had an idea in my head of what I wanted before I started , so i didn't doodle around forever with the infinite possibilities of 3D. </div>

The first image concept was really just jamming ugly poly cubes and cylinders together to get the overall agressive shape I was going for. Very 'anime' influenced.<br />

This one was more of a grounded approach, maybe some kind of earth defense ship. I spent a little more time working out the forms, also it had rocket pods at one point. </div>

So far my experience has been fairly fluid. Fortunately I know most of the basics of Maya, so I can maneuver around and create pretty quickly (3D animation minor finally put to use) . I highly recommend picking up any 3D; sketchup to maya, to help block things in. I'd say for these it helped me get the perspective and forms down quickly, so i could move right into details etc. Frankly, its building with Lego bricks, except you're making each brick as you go. </div>

After a trial and error period (always save your work kids) I got back into swing of things in Maya and roughed this room out. I set this up to talk to the students of a class I am co - teaching at LCAD about drawing over game geometry. Granted, this geo isn't from a game, I did think about how the player would approach the scene, and what action could be taking place. It could use a little more focus as to what all the bio hazard suit dudes are looking at. I'll come up with something cool a bit later.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
Here are some stills of the scene done in Maya. These are just screen grabs. I think at this point its clear that the concept design industry is leaning towards this 2D/3D hybrid, or even all 3D. I highly recommend learning a 3D package (anything from google sketchup to maya) and by learn I mean be able to throw down geometry without thinking about it, similar to you don't always think about how your holding your pencil, or how to move your hand to make the shape of something your sketching, you just create. Lighting is also a good tool to add to your toolbox.<br />
<br />
<br />
Below is a quick rough done in class.... so quick in fact its really just a box , and I didn't dig to much into the shape. At this point I think I decided to make the above rough.<br />

I'd say that a large part of my time has been talking about gameplay related elements such as props. In this case, I took the overall design language from a painting Ralph Mcquarrie of a hanger bay on Tantooine. I pulled the face value elements such as angles and material break up patterns. In this case, it was for a "crouch cover" height piece. Since cover shooters are all the rage right now, and there is a Star Wars themed one coming out, why not go back through the trilogy and design cover props based on existing designs! Though I had envisioned this just being a solid object, the question of "what would this be in the universe" came up. I quickly noted how the sides could possibly slide out and open, revealing a tool chest sort of thing. Maybe it just has spare parts, or a secret item? Either way, having components like this in basic props extends their life in the game, and means they can be repeated more often with greater difference between instances. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sort of big news ,I no longer work at Insomniac Games! Though I thoroughly enjoyed working with the team on the projects there, a new exciting opportunity came up and I decided it was a good time to move on it. Here is a segment from my goodbye email that may help explain the difficulty in making this decision:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">***</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Almost four years ago I moved out to LA after receiving my BFA in Illustration /Minor in 3D Animation. I knew I wanted to do concept design for games instead of what I had gone to school for, though at the beginning I wasn't sure how. I slept on a friends couch for a few months, while getting my act together, during which time I took my first workshop with Darren and Carlo. From there I took classes at the Concept Design Academy to build up my portfolio, around which time I said to myself “Where do I want to work”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had been a fan of Insomniac Games for many years. I remember the first time I played the demo for Spyro the dragon (I was an OPM and Underground subscriber), and at the time was amazed at the amount, size , and details of the levels. After playing , and owning, all of the original Spyro games, I moved onto Ratchet & Clank. As with Spyro I remember</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">playing the demo of Metropolis, and thinking “This is freaking awesome” . Subsequently I got the first game, then one year for Christmas the second two, which I remember spending the rest of holiday break playing through . Then of course came the PS3 and Resistance. I played through the SP many times, even on super human difficulty, more than once. A friend of mine and I also played through all the difficulty modes In co-op. . . It was awesome.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #cccccc; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was clear Insomniac was a good goal to reach, and after months of hard work I made it. Having been a fan of the franchises it was a great honor and privilege to work on them with the same creative team. Though I loved working on A Crack in Time, my favorite completed project so far has been Resistance 3, and am very proud of what we did as a team for it. Insomniac has definitely made me who I am in the industry. I have really enjoyed working with everyone!</span></div>

awesome. Now I have new goals and opportunities, and the chance to grow in
different ways. I am still a fan of the company, and will continue to be there

<br />
Jawa Mining Camp, done today in Photoshop. All painting, no photo mashing. I always thought this would be a cool scenario, and probably happened many times across Tattooine. McQuarrie inspired...<br />
<br />
<br />
Last weekend we lost one of the great artists that helped shape the star wars universe. Ralph McQuarries work was an inspiration to countless artists, fans, and general population. He , as well as other great artists, worked for years developing the iconic imagery that lives on in all our imaginations. He will live forever through his work, and the legacy of all the entertainment projects he worked on (especially star wars, but he worked on so many movies and shows its ridiculous how far his artistic reach was).<br />
<br />
Unfortunatly this past week we lost the great French comic book/surrealist Moebius as well..<br />
<br />
RIP Ralph McQuarrie (1929-2012)<br />
RIP Jean Giraud-Moebius (1938-2012)<br />
<br />
Let us all draw in tribute to them, and all the inspiration they have given us!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://chainsawart.blogspot.com/">Carlo Arellano</a> has done a piece in support of both Ralph and Moebius!<br />

This is the first concept that began to flesh out what the Terraformer looked like above the cloud line. </div>

Here is one of the first images with the 'final look' of the Terraformer. However this is not the accurate scale of the final version, it became much much bigger.</div>

Though i worked on many parts of Resistance 3, I spent the longest on development of the terraformer. Not only was it one of the first things i worked on, but it was also one of the last things I worked on. It was almost a project within a project, being so different (completely alien) from the rest of the designs in the game. Though there was some Chimera architecture here and there, it was always nestled in the ruins of humanity, this was its own monster. The designed changed quit a bit here and there, and I think we're happy with what we got in the end. I think when you play through the level, you really feel like you're climbing into the cold heart of a giant mechanical beast. As a sci-fi lover, designing a "miles high" alien death machine was a art-nerd dream come true. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Though Ratchet and Clank: A crack in time was really fun to work on, Resistance 3 has been my favorite project so far. I think the team at Insomniac did a really great job with the gameplay and art of the campaign. It's also my favorite Resistance! Bias!</div>

Here is a bit more variety of types of concepts for R3. I also included some sketches of the Washington Square concept from the previous entry. There's a turret here that you'll see if you go up against higher levels in Multiplayer (which here are now quite a few. ) . The radio looking thing is an actual recording device from the lade 40s/ 50s that I redesigned a bit to help match what it is used for in the game, though you just pick these up and they help tell you stories about the world. <br />
<br />
The first image in the entry is a chimera Interior that was suppose to be the inside of a machine that carried you around. The chimera wall is really massive and impressive in-game. Note the scale of the red marks in relation to the structure. Massive. There are quite a few more things to share, and in a few weeks, or months, I'll do an entry about the Terraformer, which I spent most of my time on the project on.<br />
<br />
Get the game! :D<br />
