Got an Intervalometre

Marky — Thu, 03 May 2012 23:34:30 +0000

Well I did and here is the first test result. Just wanted to make sure it worked and that it would take more than the 399 frames the reviews said it would.

shooting every 3 seconds here and left for around 1.30 hours coming into dusk. Really boring to be honest but as I say- just testing.

On-Line Execution- Old College Work Nostalgia

Marky — Wed, 02 May 2012 22:14:54 +0000

Just stumbled across this old piece of work I did when I was in college all of about 12 or 13 years ago. http://www.manifestcg.com/execution/execution.htm (It’s VERY old so may not run on some machines/browsers) It was done in Flash obviously back when we were using version 5 and action scripting had just been introduced. It was still macromedia so if you look at the source of the page (I’ve left it untouched) it’ll still link to the macromedia website for a player if you’re running somewehere that doesn’t have Flash installed. Oh the nostalgia of it! This was for one of Anton’s projects…. yeah he was even about to teach me!

Some Deadly Topology Posts

http://wiki.polycount.com/CategoryTopology

This Polycount wiki link is primarily based on game development so you will find examples here using tris instead of quads to create the anatomy though eiether way some of the tips are amazingly spot on. I couldn’t have said it better myself Anyway when modelling anything you are better to think of the anatomy of the object and surface flow. Decide to yourself there is a muscle flow working underneath the surface, especiialy if you’re animatig the object, then model with this in mind. Edge loops will also make for a natural flow of faces and of skin deformation on animation. These are key to good topology for animation or even just for static modelling of surface geometry.

If you’re into 3d study this wiki in advance of any modeling…. it ios a great resource and should remind you of the importance of forethought in modeling and animation in 3d.

Sucker Punch Movie

Marky — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 19:23:11 +0000

Compositing showcase of a movie. No plotline as such, no characters as such…. gun toting, sword wielding minxes a gogo. I have to say the colour work is fantastic- desaturated and intense lighting throughout. It’s like Marlyn Manson’s tainted love video going on for 2 hours. Nice one! It’s crap but it’s so beautiful!

Artwork is incredible too!

Shame about the movie but check out the trailer here and if you’re into compositing you’re just going to have to watch the full thing: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/sucker-punch-2010/trailers/

Amazing bit of Advertising!
