World Film Production

I've done a brandname logo animation for World Film Production last days. They just release a fantastic trailer for Black Day with terrorists, kungfu fighting, but no aliens unfortunatly.

check this out!

Krumbler

This is a 3dsmax2012 tool done in maxscript. You can use it to animate destruction easily (collapsing bridge for example). Watch the demo and enjoy the script! happy destruction

Gemini Rising trailer is out

Most of the VFX of this movie are done in Blender. I ve done the alien design, sculpt, rig and animation. This is a story about aliens, secret military base on an uncharted island, roundhouse kick in the face and telepathy... I think the flying vampire monkeys will come in the sequel ;)
Thank you very much to Nataniel, Sam and Eric I've worked with. Cheers

KABOOM-MassFX

I have update my KabooM script to 3ds max 2012 MassFx. The previous version worked with Reactor. Watch the demo and enjoy the script! happy destruction

Here is a motion design I've done recently with Blender, edit and text in After Effects.

Cycle- a New realtime unbiased renderer

After a brief detour as a developer for Octane Renderer, Brecht van Lommel has decided to return to the Blender Foundation to work on Blender development...

my first Cycle test :

GEMINI RISING-alien hand

Gemini Rising is a live action movie starring Lance Heriksen. The production open up the effects creation to the very talented Blender community.
Here is my contribution (9 hours) to the alien hand shot (the production design ):

> animation test 1

render below are about 15 sec/image on my amd phenom2 x6. Very fast for SSS shader!

Blender Fracture tools

Some tests using fracture tools, Bullet and Logic connections to control the collision and procedural animation. Inspired by this tutorial

Head Sculpt- skin

sculpting skin wrinkles and adjusting specularity map...

Head Sculpt - 3d painting texture

Painting texture directly on the 3d high resolution sculpt is so cool in Blender. You just have to first unwrap the base shape in editMode. I will try to paint bump later...

head sculpt - materials

A render test of my previous sculpt with SSS and procedural textures. No UV.

Head sculpt

A 2 hours sculpt from scratch. I've been inspired (a lot!) by Jonas redneck model.

Blender Particles Practice

Just gave a try to Blender particles. Blender has a "point render" solution named halo. You can map the alpha, color and size... Size take month to render I don't know why. Anyway My first test is a simple ball animation emitting 300 000 particles. The distrotion motion is given by a texture field. Render is very fast because of "point render" mean no geometry.

No smoke simultation was used here, just basics particles.

blender 2 max script

"...It's a way of baking animation to a file, in the form of vertex locations, that can then be later streamed off disk, that can help not only for things like speeding up complex rig deformation playback, but also for i/o of animation data..."
