The Kangaroo was *gestures in second photo* 'this' big.

I've been modelling on my character for a while now...and still its a pretty lame job. This is just a post to show whats going on. I'm pretty scared about Rigging it - I think like a friend of mine I may eventually use a free model of Highend 3D.

Heres a close up of his face.


And his body (all purple.)

Machine Target

Here's a model of my Target. It's been made to look like a machine. With Bolts, wires, intricate metal work even a red light - very much inspired by HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

A Few Adjustments Before It's Published.

Here's the image again. Changed ever-so slightly in order to increase my chances of acquiring the best marks possible. I've again done some modelling work - decreased the amount of slats on the venetian blinds. I've again changed the Image plane in the background. I felt a dusk setting would work better with the light setup in my scene. When I import the image in Photoshop the levels are fine. I need not alter the level of black or white - when I auto level, there is no percievable change. I've lessened the depth of field and changed its focus (it covers the cord closer to the screen.) Im a lot happier now - especially that everything has been ironed out.

I'm likin this..

Well, as I wrote a number of days ago. Maybe even a week and a half, I was having serious, serious problems with this image. Now it's fine. I posted my problem on 3d Buzz, an awesome site full of people who cater with fearfully accurate advice.

Their advice helped. Just take a look.

I've changed the angle, the colours, the amount of reflectivity, the depth of field and done some small modelling touch ups to create a closer inidication of the final form of this image.

Too much Chrome might be a bad thing.

I just wanted to post some "nearing the end" images of my 747-200. I know it's a 747 but the 200 bit still puzzles me. If you find shiny things distracting - you may want to finish reading this post when you've got more time on your hands - it's really shiny.



Stuff the Pickle.


This is my final - but I think I will do some touch ups.

Add some "Imperfections" and such.

Mmmm...Glass.

"Let there be render."

I've had so much troubles with the render. Today I got a reply from the 3D Buzz forums, a guy suggested I remove "AutoClip Render" on the Persp. camera. Well guess what? It worked. Things now render. Thank you 3D Buzz!



Ok so now I realised thats kind of dark. I'll re-edit this post with a better lighting.

*SING* With a Shovel and a Pick and a Waking Stick - HI Ho, HI Ho, HI Ho!

It's been a long time. And I really haven't been keeping up to date. So here are my two final pictures (not in their final form I'll add.) One's rendered, the other, not so. The one that isn't rendered is because I'm having serious problems with and i just know that it's going to be a real pain in the arse later on. The Second one, of the Pickle in the Jar, well, I'm asking you to just put up with the pickle at this point in time. It's not going to stay. (Your probably thinking "What Pickle? I can't see a pickle, oh THAT!....the green thing. Oh *CHUCKLE, CHUCKLE*...I thought that was something naughty")







Oh ho ho, the Joys of......ahh, yeah.
