BRUTE! Crash Helmet Designs!

One of the cool things about my job is the opportunities it throws up to make you see the work in a new light.

I was recently asked to do a series of helmet designs for a racing team and was intrigued by the way the shape of the helmet dictated the dynamics of the art.
Shortly after sending in these roughs, I began to build and texture the helmet in 3D, the results I will post later.

Terminator Salvation Trailer

I don't normally put up non-graphic film clips up on here but I was so impressed by this trailer for the new Terminator movie that I almost came on myself. This is the pinnacle of realistic CGI that was ushered in with Transformers but here splattered with grime and carrying real weight for a change. I cannot wait to see this...

ZPC: BRUTE! PC game on Amazon

I made this computer game back in 1996 for Zombie Games in Seattle, Washington.

It has become available on Amazon for a few bucks.
Check it out while they last at: http://www.amazon.com/ZPC-Pc/dp/B0009YN3O2

BogArt - Off the Wall Project

After a collaborative chin-wag, we design and install a number of 2D/3D 'floating' decals. We are using the basic 'drop shadow' technique but in real-time. By cutting round and removing the head /body from the card, we are left with a template stencil to lay down the 'shadow' in grey spray paint. Once dry, we then lay the head/body down over it, ensuring the shadow matches the lghting on the picture which should not cover the shadow entirely (see pic).
They do look freaky, especially when placed in areas with limited spatial range.

Royksopp video

This is a beautiful animation that contains so many sweet elements: cut-aways, industrial illustration, mo-cap and vector-traced 3D rendering. And on top of all that, its poignant.

A very cool 3D Transformer project
