One 3D Update and One Photo

A new room rendered using Vray in 3ds Max 2009. First time I fiddled with photometric lighting. Actually this isn't quite 'new' because this was done a few months ago. I only got around to posting it on this site now. Captain Procrastinator am I. Sigh.



And here's a shot I took of a flower using my trusty DSLR. I do enjoy taking flower shots, because it helps keep my composition skills sharp. Feel free to visit my flickr site to see more photos.



I am hoping I will be able to eventually create a youtube account and update my demo reel so I can finally post my demoreel on my site.

Animators Galore

Here are some links to blogs by animators. They give good advice on animation. Carlos Baena works for Pixar, and I was fortunate enough to attend his talk in CG Overdrive 2006 in Singapore. Brendan Body was linked in Carlos Baena's blog. I plan on reading both blogs religiously for the sake of learning more in animation and finding inspiration to start creating my own personal works.

Pictures

Taken before sunrise at the balcony of the condo I'm renting. F4.0 aperture with bulb. I was using a 17-40mm lens.

VRay Training

This image was done as part of my VRay training. I just modeled the walls and floor and did the layout for the objects in the scene. Click on the image to see the original resolution.
