I'm still adding layers as I go - the rendering hasn't finished, but here are some examples of the layers used so far. If you click on the first image, then press the right arrow key, it will scroll... View in HD

- remove the random black object just before impact
- position the helicopter closer to the ground for final resting position
- do something about the random scenery objects (and lack of)
- fog/mist?
- smoke & explosion effects (doing in post)

A quick video to show progress on the project I'm currently working on, along with a model of the real life car I created a while back for comparison.

Used a 2008 car, because I didn't feel the need to make a 2009 car... and the 2009 cars look horrible (apart from the slicks, which I have used).
Many things to fix, and some things to add (like a driver and smoke).
Main thing to note is the car rig, which I...
Motorway - Part 2 (Vehicles)

The video (at 4x speed because it's boring with nothing specific happening) is of a flythrough of the vehicle motion. You'll be able to see some of the tricks used, particularly at the end. Needs more vehicles, and more difference in the vehicles used, particularly in the colours... it's surprising how you don't really notice...
Motorway and Foliage - Grass
JUL

2009
Some grass and foliage tests I've been working on. The video is of randomly (although you wouldn't think it from the brief video) moving and populated grass. The image below is static, but also randomly generated from a series of grass blade model meshes.
I'm leaning towards the style from the video,...

Vehicle Animation Environment

I decided to abandon the last animation and I'm tweaking it slightly to turn it into a vehicle animation, rather than character animation. The image is a slightly out of date render of the environment for the first part...
Should be familiar if you've seen any of my UT3 City work. I thought I'd use it in an animation at some point since the assets are all there.

Anyway, here's a draft render of the animation so far to check the lighting, textures and glass breakage effects.
The main thing left is the building explosion so the whole thing actually makes sense. And he needs a gun as well to shoot at the glass so the glass doesn't spontaneously explode as it does at the moment.

Still very much work in progress - textures, animation and obviously special effects still need working on, but you can see roughly how the animation should end up.
The idea is he's running from a bomb that he planted in order to kill something evil, although I've not yet decided what this evil thing is, or even if we'll...

Here's what I'm working on for an as-yet untitled animation that will be first rendered in 3D Studio Max, then exported and reconstructed in a game engine for comparison.18

View a small, low-bandwidth version above, or click on the link below for a higher resolution version.
Other variants of the demo reel are also available on this site. There is some overlapping, mostly because nearly all of the animations I have made have contained both special effects and animation, but each one hopefully draws enough attention towards that particular area.

Obviously still a long way to go, but it's recognisable, I think...
Nothing here is representative of what it will finally look like, except perhaps the character.

I'm lying. My demo reels aren't online any more because I'm making new ones as they get out of date too quickly. Look out for a newer demo reel post some time shortly!Demo Reel ....
