Isnt he Cute? lol.. But actually no, the heading of the post isn’t about Baby UFO here but something much more frightening. I woke up yesterday morning looking over at my wife grinning ear to ear starring at me, then uttering the words like a giddy school girl…, “I’m Knocked Up”. So yes, it looks like the Bacon Unit […]
A couple more fun billboards for the Block. Old Assets come in handy…lol. Of course the questions are about to be raised so I will answer them now. Yes, that is a girl tied to a chair in the bottom billboard, and Yes, I did actually take the photo.

Meow, a little on the demented side…lol…I love it. Well this weekend wasn’t quite as productive as I thought it would be. I spent the majority of the time ramping up on Maya’s layered shader system which is pretty complex. I have primarily used Maya for game graphics, and using it for film purposes is a little different in […]
Just starting the Shader / Texture Process for the buildings in the VFX Club Shot. I need to back off on the specularity on this shader, but this will be one of the many Shaders that will be used in the VFX shot. The normal map brings out the bump details, and of course there is the color […]
I came across this guy’s VFX reel the other night. Some seriously cool stuff in it. Last night I started working on the lighting pass for the Club Shot. I have most of the main building lit with light sources, and started working on some of the back buildings. I also did a test rendering […]
My new camera looks like it’s almost ready to ship. Yes, a working version of the Scarlet is being tossed around Expos and it looks insanely bad ass. It shoots up to 120 frames a second with its variable frame rate and can shoot into 160-180 frames a second in bursts apparently. Wireless control setup, 3k […]
