Carlos is a senior here at ACU and has done some amazing work during his time here. Most recently, he has finished work on a special modeled bust of Jesus as a sort of tech demo to demonstrate his modeling abilities to the CTO of nonPereil Institute, Brian Jeffreys. Here’s what Carlos made:

Quite impressive! He has also informed me that he intends to make a lower polygon version in order to make it easier to put into a game, so be on the lookout for that one, too. Excellent work on “Jesus Bust,” Carlos, keep up the good work!

If you would like your digital work displayed on the ACU blog, shoot me an email at dlp14c@acu.edu and I’ll feature it here. Any digital works count (art, animations, 3D models)! If you made it on a computer, we’ll feature it here. Please be sure to include your name, enrollment level (freshman, sophomore, etc.), name of the work, and throw in a little interesting fact about yourself so the community can get to know you better. Keep on creating!

Elena Severson is a freshman DET student here at ACU. She made this amazing model in Blender for a Bible project she is working on!

It’s always awesome to see students cranking out some high quality models like “Gate – Fence – Staff”, and even cooler to see our Freshman getting involved. Keep up the good work, Elena!
