Experiment.08.

The product of testing different ways to do footsteps on water. I composited the man on top of the water in after effects. For the final I won't be so lazy. I'll use the rig in the scene. For now though I need a better was of manipulating the water instead of using only wake deformers. I'm also going to see If I can add a texture to the water.

Pat's Cut Out Project.01.

Project: Take images of Pat's Munny and create a cut out template like the ones from Cubeecraft.com

Oi and I took a bunch of picture of Pat's Munny last weekend. We tried shooting with indoor light and a hand held flash but it didn't work to well. Oi suggested we use natural light so we set the Munny up next to a window and shot it. I put together this sample sheet of all the angles I will be using to make the cut out. The problem is to take a pictures of a round surface and flatten them so that they fit on a flat surface.

Today I built the 3D model and set it up to be textured. I used the Mario cut out from Cubeecraftube as a guide for my UV's(texturing) and final Cut out template.

The 3D Model, or the part that 3D plays in this project is really just a tool to aide me in making a better cut out. Instead of printing and testing numerous cut outs I can manipulate the texture for my 3D model because it's layout for texturing(Uv's) are fitted to the cut out template.

This clip is some of the work I did, for the National Geographic website's, Dino Death trap section.

Many thanks to Kyle Gray who did the sound for this clip.


For those having trouble with the flickr video embedding, I'm trying accounts out at some new video hosting sites. I have an account at Veoh.com, which if I have to, I will continue to use. I dislike veoh.com because the owner is a snob and an elitist. He doesn't care about your content reaching "some of the poorer nation" who's people can't afford higher bandwidth or simply the internet. He blocks his content to 165 Nations in the world who he doesn't believe he can make money off of or that the internet was not made for them. Please tell me what you like using the most. THANX-=].

Walking HealthProgression Rough pt.02.

My tail bone is hurting me because my calf fell asleep. Why do I have a bone for a tail, when I don't need to balance on branches.
