Seats

Been working on the frame for the De Lorean, it's working quite well as when I get frustrated with it, I model other parts of the car, today was the chairs.

House

Working on the exterior and interior of this house, hopefully it will be used as an artifact in the practice led part of the Research Project.

Wheels

Hopefully have the basic De lorean modelled by start of Jan, got bit bored of doing the body to day so did some work on the wheels

Last exhibition Image

Yes i decided to render the R8 ....again. Here is my final collective image for the exhibition package.
The other 3 images are, the bathroom i made, a render of the cancer cells i did for the alumni project and an adaptation of the phone i made.

Street Scene

Edited street scene from my Frankenstein animation (2nd) one of my 5 images for the exhibition catalogue package.

Audi R8

Edited the Audi a bit more, want to work a bit more making it realistic for the catalogue.

Mobile Phone

'wunderful Stuff'

Realized the other day that i haven't really put anything up that I've looked at and found inspiring, so here's the making of muller's 'wunderful stuff' advert, a whole range of pretty cool stuff in there. also made me think about my carer opportunities. enjoy.

Bathroom More Filled

DeLorean Under Way

After getting frustrated with some of the writing we have to do at the moment, I thought I would take some time out and make an early start on the live client project. I've got a lot to do, so starting modelling now makes sense. Here's some very simple renders of part of the body mesh. It has  a lonnnnng way to go, but hopefully progress will be made quickly.

Live Client Project Brief and Proposal Front Cover

Research Project

For my research project, I am looking at what aspects of 3D Visualisation can be used to demonstrate the form and function of a design?
I'm going to research the history of both visualisation and form and function, eventually looking at what is happening in present day and where we will be in the future.
Does demonstrating the form and function of a design through visualisation convince a user or client more. Does this allow businesses to be more cost effective and display information much clearer.
By researching these areas and by talking to different design disciplines I want to draw conclusions on where visualisation can be a an effective medium to demonstrate form and function. 

Start Up Factory

This is my start up factory Idea The Virtual Personal Trainer (VPT)

 

Alumni edit 2

Alumni DVD Cover

Alumni

Here's my first edit of my short animation for the alumni cancer research fund. hopefully its pretty clear and simple. Would appreciate feedback.

Cell Visualisation

Cells

Been trying to look at creating the cells for my animation, first a healthy blood cell and then an unhealthy cancer cell, its a bit extreme a hulkesk the cancer cell, so i may tone it down a bit, but here an initial render.

Blood cell simulation

This is animated clip I found of a blood cell simulation, followed from a Maya tutorial, I really like how it looks  and I think this is the sort of thing I would like to attempt doing in my animation for the alumni.

Microscope

So decided to completely change my idea for the simulated client project and look at making a small advert for donations for the cancer research department that the alumni association gives too.
Here's the microscope that will be in the animation.

Stickman Concept for Alumni

So I've created this very simple stickman, hopefully have it moving by tomorrow so i can get down with starting to make this small advert for the simulated client project.

Research Project

Ok so this is just a start, my ideas are flooding through on this project and im finding it a bit hard to work out exactly what i want to talk about, but here goes....



For my research project I would like to look into the implications of learning and teaching with the increase in new media.

I want to look at how media such an animation and visualisation is becoming much more widely used when teaching and learning in all different areas from schools to businesses.
I also want to look at possible problems arising with this, such as screens become a too bigger a part in our lives, slowly cutting off face to face connection.


I do believe that the increase in use of this media has great benefits, for example helping to explain third world problems on an international level can become much easier.
I believe with the increase in visualisation we have a better chance of planning for the future and more eco sustainable environments. Ferrari recently released a competition for 3d artists at universities to visualise a concept for an eco-friendly car of the future.
Buildings can now be visualised to a much higher degree and architects can have a bigger idea of what they are making before they start. Like I said though I also want to look at the issues that surround this, for example does this mean that the growth of cities is going rise too rapidly or will we find that it helps us to make a better environment

Alumni Project

I have decided to make my animation for the alumni association on the support of academic achievement and excellence through new scholarships, bursaries and awards.
My idea is to create one very simple character which will represent students who need this funding from the alumni. The animation will start out with the character doing various university courses or scholarship funded  courses, showing the sort of excellence the alumni talks about, such as rowing, studying, it research.  then there will be more characters talking to each other and slowly the camera will move backwards and upwards, panning out over more and more of the characters appearing, some turning red which highlights the people who need the funding, as the camera pans back more you see the characters from a birds eye view and the shape they make forms the pattern of great Britain, which will eventually turn into a re-designed Alumni logo . What I want to get across towards the end is the idea of having the alumni as a great connection to get people who deserve it, to university. The idea that its not just about giving the money it’s about being connected and building a better future for university students.

This is the sort of simple character I plan to model and use to represent the student who need Alumni funding.

Audi R8

Been a while, here's a digger...

Going to work a bit more modelling details and texturing better but as always i decided to rush it a bit and see what a pre-vis would look like

Audi R8 Roadster

I decided to skip to the last video of the tutorial i was following on the R8 and found that the guy hadn't actually finished it yet, so in the mean time i decided to go ahead and try on my own, its not so refined but i just wanted to see it looking near finished, pretty happy with the mesh, but to make it look really good, i need to work on its detailing, will hopefully find time to do so.

Twisted Frankenstein

Finally have got round to uploading it. Enjoy.

update

Architectural Visualisation

Just a lil piece of work i'm working on....

Update on Saloon

I seem to be doing lots of little bits in 3ds Max and then leaving them, i thought it would be good to develop my saloon i was creating and maybe eventually make a small animation with it. Here's an update...

3DS MAX 2012! and Watch

Downloaded 3ds max today and with that i decided to try create my watch.   

Audi R8

I eventually plan to make this in 3ds max from original blueprints.

Basic Polyman

Got an idea for a project for my dads work, just thought i would start with modelling a basic poly model of a man which will be needed for quite a lot of the project, here's his beginning.

Saloon

Thought i would try visualize an old western saloon, this is just a quick start on it.....
