EXCELLENT ERUDIT

Im pleased to present the ERUDIT IN THE FIELD OF EXCELLENCE .After a long , happy and joyful childhood , the erudit expended  his youth in the most expensive and prestigeous universities with outstanding marks before starting a stunning  and successful career that made of him one of the most excellent gentlemen in the field of erudition.

http://www.cgarena.com/

The character was first concept in zbrush, retopologized , and textured in photoshop from some interesting baking matcaps materials from zbrush with the help of the function "crop and field".IT is lot of fun but you first make sure youve got enough hard disk space XD. Zbrush matcaps are too nice .

Hair was combed  with  HAIRFARM .Otherwise you mayprefer to  struggle  with our beloved  "hair&fur" from max.

Hands were modeled separately from max to zbrush following a parallel proccess as erudit head .otherwise I would have ended up with a diferent result .

Posproduction was made in nuke and photoshop .Nuke was very helpful to create the "boke" lensblur effect and volume ligth of background .Dust particle were added from old max render files made very quikly with pflow .You may do that with many diferent particle based aplications with the same result .

I hope you enjoy that.

STEREOSCOPIC TURBO APACHE STRIKES BACK

ANIMATING SHADING

Here we come again .After some fanny endless nights I came up with a facial rigg intending to give life to my lovely smart and well manner electro apache .I went ahead with a new animated shading technic to highlight wrinkles in forehead , eyes and space between the eyebrows to frown properly . . To that end , several normal and displacement maps are displayed locally in relation with face controllers position .wasnt easy .It s never so.

VRAY STEREOSCOPIC HELPER

Stereoscopic render WIPs were taken from Vray stereocopic helper ( still freaking out ! you definitely got to try this at home !) from where I was able to render out straight to anaglypho mode .Vray RT lets you preview in 3d aswell in real time( awesome ).From Vray to Nuke were I was able to join them along to this result . The idea is to watch squence in a row to get them alive .I hope you enjoy that as much as i did (but not to struggle as i did ).

Lot to work out yet .Next target : GIMME A CHEST TO BREATH , MASTER

love you

TURBO APACHE DIFFUSE MAP

The tip for this post is this map sample from turboapache

That was a crazy diffuse map experiment to add to SSS vray material . I mixed 3d max rendermaps with some zbrush backed matcaps ("crop and fill")in photoshop. And I think I will use this technic within a tocuh distance future.

Y TU QUE HAS HECHO (short film)

AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE

¿Y tú qué has hecho? Short film Teaser from ¿Y tú qué has hecho? on Vimeo.

Es la conmovedora historia de un amor incondicional entre un árbol del campo y una niña, quien crece y se muda a la gran ciudad.‘¿Y TÚ QUÉ HAS HECHO?’ es una pregunta, un lamento y un reproche, cuyo sentido Lo hallaremos en el fondo de nuestros corazones.

A moving story about unconditional love story between a tree in the countryside and a girl, who grows up and moves to the big city .‘and what have you done?’ is a question, a lament and a reproach, whose meaning Lies in the dephs of our hearts.

EXCELLENT ERUDIT

Zbrush time killer modelling .The subject is an english or maybe german gentleman who is an erudit in the field of excelency .or at least much more than you and me .Ok forget it .Work in progress or maybe not .I hope you like it .C u

ARCHITECTURAL VISUALS

Collecting some work from 2009 for Fernando (Alaez Architct) project .Something bit diferent .He passed me the project already modelled .I did a very basic shading rendering from Vray straight forward to photoshop where pretty much all is textured .We where handling several different approaches that you shall find bellow.

"Y YU QUE HAS HECHO"

"Y YU QUE HAS HECHO" (What have you done?)MOTION PICTURE STEP ANIMATION SAMPLE Testing posing and timing .Boned characters shows manipulator .At this state we still didnt deal with cameras but keep in mind story board in orther to animate just what is worth. Economizing time and efford is important when you give your life to one task. XD .AFter that we interpolate , add secondary animation (overlapping), simulations (cloth, wind , hair,sleeves and spring points in branches )and much work ,sweet,shit,blood and sacrifice.We are nearly there and will keep in touch for the premier!.

TWISTING CONSTANT SLOPE RAMP DESIGN in Rhino


Grasshopper lets you trace a parametric constant slope curve through a certain surface between two given points. In this case the surface was a sort of special truncate inverted cone ( circle cone would have been to easy XD). Actually it wasn't any but, as I heard sometime to someone ,"ease is worthless".
At certain points all levels converge in a vertical line susceptible to be a lift.

ANAGLYPHIC TURNTABLE VIEWPORT OF PARAMETRIC MODEL

This model was made with gasshopper ,the plugin for rhinoceros that let you model trough nodes . Rhino lets you work in anaglypchic 3d in real time aswell.
PUT YOUR GLASSES ON!!

That's main module applied to a simple surface.You my apply nodes config to any nurb surface and customaize parameters to get weirdest mass of steelframe .Wicked! XD mola

"¿Y TU QUE JAS HECHO? " demoreel 2011


The video underneath shows bits of work that I was envolved in mostly (animation , modeling ,simulation , sketching , characters design...) although , as you know , is always dificult to split team work with a straight sharp line.





ANAHI CLOTH SIMULATION TUTORIAL
Shows all difculties you may run into throughout 3d max cloth simulation . We used those videos recorded through Camtasia to work together in long distance relation .It wasnt easy but progammes like camtasia ,mikogo (sharing desktop, free ), skype made it posible (3D max too jeje).
