To all budding animators (3d and 2d!) Redbull Canimation

Short deadline so it’s a quick turnaround project but it’d be kind of cool to get a couple of entries from around the 2d and 3d courses here. Redbull are running a competition of which prizes rather brilliantly involve winning internships in very cool companies as well as free software and stuff. Be worth having [...]

Fisheye Funsies

Just got a rather cheap fish Eye lens for my camera. Primary reason for getting this is to negate the use of a light probe for getting artificial lighting and reflections for compositing. I’m not sure if it will work perfectly as I get the feeling the range of vision may be around the 160 [...]

Also at the end of the interview it tells you the programmes he uses as a [...]

Augmented Reality Business Card

Hi folks. I was asked to put together a video showing some corporate augmented reality work I had done so I thought I’d show you the outcome here. It’s a fairly simple animated scene done for a company in Dublin called OIResearch at the end of last year. I’ll throw up some more AR based [...]

Spongy Goodness…

This week I’ve been mostly…

.. modelling these Wee Guys. It’s been a while since I posted anything due to a slipped disk, San Fransisco Trip, Teaching and student supervising so I decided I might as well throw something up. I might do this kind of thing each week – kind of show what I’ve been working on that you [...]
