Flame Test


Untitled from Josh Crooks on Vimeo.


Flame test, happy with it as a test but the end is a bit dodgy and its a bit more cartoony than i would like, i'll spend some time playing around with settings etc and i can hopefully make it look better

Aston Martin DB9 Edit

Put together a quick edit of the Aston Martin DB9, a lot of lines on it need editing as they just aren't smooth enough, about half way there though.

Hotel Progression

HDRI Only

Not amazing quality but was just looking at only lighting the car with an HDRI image, works out alrite though and a possible back up plan if render times become a problem.

Creative cv

Still needs a lot of work, but just wanted to look at ways in which i could make myself stand out with a creative c.v. as a 3D Generalist

Composites

Was Asked by Simon Newbold if he could possibly use a couple of my cars for his site that he is putting together, just simple renders with a faded reflection but saved out as a png with a blank background. so here they are...

This SH#!T crazy!

Rendering Synthetic Objects into Legacy Photographs from Kevin Karsch on Vimeo.


Must get hold of this programme!

Interiors....

Starting to feel like im going in the right direction in terms of texturing the interior of the de lorean after a long time  missing the mark. Hopefully means things will start moving on a lot quicker now.




Animation Test 2

I decided also to start looking at the animation of the second version of the De Lorean, in which its wheels fold in and it starts to fly. I'm more happy with this one although the end is very jolty, need to work a lot on the turn.

Hotel Designs

Began some initial texturing of the hotel room, some of the lighting is bleaching out some of it, so things to work on. Oh and that's right there's a tv in the bathroom...behind a transparent vinyl cover.

Delorean Test Render

Low Quality just to start looking at animating the car. Initial thoughts- too much drift. Also combination of very simple background and camera movement doesn't in help in determining where the car is moving (Something i will to consider for the final render). Need to look more at a 'rocking' in the suspension, so it looks more realistic, so to conclude it's crap but at least I've worked out where i should be going with it.

Home away from Home Hotel Suite

Decided to have a go at the D&AD future Hotels suite design. Using some existing designs i already head just playing around with the layout. I want it to be more about changing the dynamic of a hotel suite from being completely sterile, making a home away from home. Here's just some initial renders,

De Lorean Updates.

Almost finished off all 3 models, tried putting together some composites of what i want the finals to maybe look like. Also working on texturing the interior properly after it looking pretty poor before. Been working on some after effects tutorials too, so will post up soon.
