Eleventyplex

I worked full time at a small toy design consultancy named 'Eleventyplex' from January to May 2024. I worked in person at their office in Cincinnati, Ohio. My role was to sculpt toys mainly from tv shows and movies to be manufactured. The main takeaway from my time as an employee there is my experience in ZBrush, the digital sculpting software. Spending 40 hours a week during that semester provided me with great proficiency in the software. Another software I learned was Blender, specifically their 3D rendering engine.

I learned about different injection-molding processes like co-molding, and different plastics such as polypropylene, polyurethane, and vinyl used for toys. I additionally gained experience in modeling for specific manufacturing processes and joint articulation on action figures.

Unfortunately, I currently have no work to show from my experience here as I worked with NDA-protected properties. I have included work that I created during training.

Eleventyplex Training

Some projects that Eleventyplex gave me as apart of their training. The first is Charmeleon from Pokémon. The last two are characters from Flush Force, which is a franchise owned by Spinmaster. I do not own the rights to either of these characters or franchises.

The reference of these models came from the company, which were rough sketches and images pulled from online. They were modeled and painted in ZBrush, then exported as .obj over to Blender to finish painted plastic and clay renders.
