Depth Styletest
I always liked the look of depth-maps/passes, so I used some old files and tried to create a cool atmosphere by only compositing this single pass. This is the result after a total of 3 hours of messing around:
CS:GO Weaponskins
I’ve decided to try out the “Steam-Workshop” and make some skins for Counter Strike Global Offensive. Its really fun to work with the models and do something game-related for once. You can find a collection of the skins >>here<<
Motion Visualisation Script
As Maya doesn’t provide an internal strands-system, I thought I might as well write a small python script that fakes this kind of feature. You can see the spheres (dynamic movement) followed by simple geometry generated by the script – and then the whole thing rendered with a simple vray setup to test everything out.
Scatter-Script
Lately i optimised some scripts and cleaned up some code. This one was quite fun to make, it’s a simple scatter-script with a strong performance focus.
4000 Mile Stare – WIP
I’m currently working on a shortfilm called “4000 Mile Stare”. You can have a look at wip-pictures, set-timelapses and other videos on the official facebook-page. I’m one of the Compositors and VFX-Set-Supervisor.
Unusual Usage of Maya Hair
Lately I got some requests for the files for this video. Its actually a pretty simple hair-setup combined with motion paths but if you would like to have a look at it, just write me a mail.
Room on the Broom wins at Annecy
2012 i was working at Studio Soi on a project for BBC 1. The 25 minute full-cg film “Room on the Broom” now won an Annecy Award. Its also nominated for an Acadamy Award for the Category “Best Animated Short Film”. I’m very happy that i got the opportunity to work on this beautiful movie.
planecrash
So recently i worked on a small project with Mario Reichmann. My tasks were lighting, rendering, fx and compositing.
some random stuff
Some small things i tried or have been working on lately:
Mechanical flowers, transforming mecha-bugs, ….The alienhead is a model of the talented sculptor Beat Reichenbach to test some of my HDR’s
Testing PF-Track
Normally i use Boujou and Syntheyes, but i had to try out tracking with PF-Track. I’m actually pretty satisfied with the results. I’m going to use it more often in the future.
