This is a version of the BBC F1 intro I made in Lego-like bricks.

Click here for a raw render version without additional effects for comparison.

The actual version can be seen on YouTube. You'll notice I've focussed on the first section of it, despite the second part containing car motion, which I have done a lot... View in HD

Demonstration of my improved car rig, updated to include a driver, oversteer and wheelspin options. It includes a blend of reactor for when the car needs to bounce, and the rig. The transition could be more subtle, but it works well enough.

Also an expansion of mental ray rendering, with glow effects and lighting systems. I also developed some After Effects skills, adding lens and video effects and manipulating time, as well as creating some extra special effects to... View in HD

Changed my mind about the purpose of the motorway in the end, and decided to stick an F1 car onto it instead of the planned helicopter crash, which I will come back to in a different setting - the F1 idea suddenly appealed to me more.

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...

An improved car rig, with enhanced scripted physics effects, the ability to have a driver added, with arm motion and head lean, and the option to have oversteer and wheelspin. These extra parts can be seen in the Motorway F1 video.

The car rig is intended to be easily adaptable to suit a variety of cars, and give options for dynamic speed, steering, weight transfer physics and other car...

This post will be updated with random images, then when the project is completed I'll order it - so for now it'll be all a bit of a mess.

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,...

This tutorial is to create the simple car rig you see in the video above using 3dsmax and Reactor physics simulation. I'll assume you don't know much about 3dsmax or Reactor, so should be able to follow it and get similar results to me. I'm going to provide all the values that I used so you can repeat exactly what I have, but feel free to experiment.

First, create a cylinder with radius 10 and height 1. Increase number of sides to 36 to make the motion a little...

The car rig project is intended for anyone wanting to create a vehicular animation in 3D Studio Max, and formed a module on my postgraduate degree. The project has since been updated to include oversteer, wheelspin and the option for a driver, as can be seen in the Motorway F1 video on the videos page.

A scripted rig is set up to allow for any four wheeled vehicle to be applied to it, which is manipulated using the sliders as you can see in the image...
