Black Eyed Peas - The Time [Dirty Bit]

Thu, 26 Apr 2012 11:44:14 +0000

The new Black Eyed Peas music video takes a kind bow in the direction of the fabulous short film PIXELS www.vimeo.com/13362364 by Patrick Jean.

We finished 17 shots for the new video in 3 weeks and took over and redid 1 shot from Asylum VFX that ironically dropped dead on deadline day :(
I did the initial R&D (you might have seen this: www.vimeo.com/14869572), the master particle setup and rendering setup as well as most of the rendering. Particle Flow Box#2's BirthGrid as well as a Particle Flow Box#3's abilities to read geometry parameters and shaders did speed up the workflow dramatically. Fergie's materialization was achieved by John Rand with Krakatoa PRT Volumes and KCMs as well as Krakatoa Particle Flow operators. Renderings done with VRay. Supervision, some 3D and Comp done by Rodrigo Washington/Animaholics.

Full video can be watched on the BEP YouTube Channel:

VW Scirocco - Peel

Mon, 29 Nov 2010 14:50:48 +0000

Particle Flow Toolbox#2, Vray. Car is from the Evermotion Car Collection. Optimized shaders for speed.

Constructor - A Particle System

Wed, 01 Sep 2010 15:23:14 +0000

This is an R&D piece about shape generation.

The high res model is prefractured with "deconstructor" by Marc Lorenz then passed on to particle flow's BirthGroup and triggered with a deflector. The particles drift away and ease into their final shape, rotation and position. Every fragment maintains it's original Mental Ray or VRay shader (Model is from Evermotion's Car Collection).

Just a fancy way to build up what ever object you can fracture

deflated

Mon, 02 Aug 2010 13:15:37 +0000

Some of you might remember the molten iPad i did a little while ago:

http://www.chaosgroup.com/forums/vbulletin/showthread.php?49472-melt

Here is my latest doodle "deflated" i did waiting on simulations to finish on my other machine

http://www.incendii.com/gallery/deflated.jpg

The model is a hires 2010 CAMARO from the Evermotion Car Collection. Some postwork in PS of course but the model itself is pretty much what came out of Max. To "deflate" the camaro i used the same technique as in the "melt" image but with alot more particles and alot higher resolution mesh. I created a low poly version of the camaro and filled it with aruond 1500 particles in particle flow, then i used the PhysXGlue feature in the Particle Flow Toolbox2 to glue the particles together very loosley to achieve the gello/gooey consistancy. Then i used the Particle Skinner to skin wrap the highres camaro to teh particles. The viewport previews of the wobbly car look rather funny, i might post them later

hope you like it! nothing big just doodles

melt

Thu, 06 May 2010 09:27:29 +0000

Some doodle with Particle Flow Box #2 and VRay. Took me an evening to do on the notebook while the workstation was simulating fumefx.

A Deflated or molten IPad. Since I'm the opinion you get something nice that runs 3DS Max for the price of an IPad 3G

Some postwork in PhotoShop but very minor (Gradient Overlay, Contrast, Blur here and there, Chromatic Abberation, Vignette)

Crunch Time (We�ve all been there)

Sun, 31 May 2009 15:54:16 +0000

We�ve all been there a million times. We all felt like that during the crunch time of a VFX project. Where we all get to a point where shots just need to be cranked out to finish the gig.

Please don't get me wrong here, fellow 3D artists. I'm okay where i work This i NO offense at all towards Frantic Films! Really cool people here. Very good spirit.

Please don�t be offended by the subject

With kindest regards,

Liquid Dress

Wed, 26 Sep 2007 20:43:54 +0000

I was inspired by Gisele B�ndchen�s Ipanema advertisements so i don�t claim any credits for the idea itself:
http://vnexpress.net/Vietnam/Van-hoa/2007/09/3B9FA5BE/gisele2.jpg
http://f.i.uol.com.br/folha/ilustrada/images/0726053.jpg

Commens & Critiques are welcome as usual
I used FumeFX to drive the swirly motion of the basic skirt layer then piped that motion into Particle Flow and wrapped it into Glu3D using it�s PWrapper. For all the splashes and splash streaks i used the Particle Flow Toolbox #3 which gives way better and more versatile control over all the motion going on than the regular Particle Flow operators. Especially "Random Walk", "Blur Wind" and "Cache Disk" came handy here. Then again the particles were wrapped into a PWrapper for meta particle generation. So it�s a pretty good canon between FumeFX and Particle Flow Toolbox #3 for the motion. I simulated 4 layers of water motion/splashes in total. Then i set up a very straight foreward water/glas VRay material not even worth to be explained any further. To have a nice alpha channel i modeled the woman�s chest and upper legs in lowpoly and camera projected the stock image on it using CameraMapperPixel on a standard material, as basic as it can be The lights and camera were matched to the stock image and then every layer was rendered with VRay. Post effects done in PhotoShop.

HUGO BOSS - ChinaOrangeClub Webspecial 3

That�s a Still from the brand new Hugo Boss - China Orange Club Flashsite we just finished at Pixomondo Images (www.pixomondo.com) you can access here:

www.hugoboss.com/chinaclub

We created and camera mapped the low poly city and everything else with Max and VRay using PhotoShop for the textures and AfterEffects for the compositing. Then we passed the layer jungle over to the flashers

My prime task was the zeppelin called "the BLIMP".

Venus 2.0

Sat, 04 Mar 2006 13:54:14 +0000

Project description : After i posted a tutorial a whlie ago about creating ParticleSplines with ParticleFLow and a little MaxScript. I decided to create an image showing this technique. I was inspired by the Venus by Milo of cause I used 3D Studio Max 7.1 for the ParticleSplines and PhotoShop CS2 and AfterEffects 6.1 for the decent postproduction (to comp together color-,specular-, ambient occlusion pass and the background image. Color corrention and little glow/grain here and there) Productiontime was about 10day on and off excluding rendertime. This image won the 2nd plance at the Animago 2006 awards in the category Home>Still>Art by the way.

Leopard 2

Mon, 14 Feb 2005 17:27:03 +0000

During my internship here at the Soul|Pix Studios in Hannover/Germany i practised Vray Shader constructing, lighting, texturing and rendering with this scene.
I used 3D Studio MAX 7 with Vray.
The Model is from the "De Espona Model Collection" so NON of the modeling work was done by me. Please no credits for this part.
I textured this tank in Bodypaint3D with a wacom graphire3 tablet.
Now the really interesting facts about this location ;-) it�s a training spot for our army near my parents house. The three destroyed tanks are a memorial of WW2. The day i took this picture the sky was brilliant for taking reference pictures. Nearlly a clear 128,128,128 RGB value of the sky :-D
This Image won the 1st place at the Animago Award 2005 in the category Education>Still>Vehicles.
