A Village House by Studio Aiko
Great work, again, by Israeli based Studio Aiko. Check out the Village House animation they created not long ago… And stay clear of the garden gnomes!
Amazing Sky Fighters Video
From time to time I post an amazing video coupled with great sound too. I couldn’t resist posting this tribute to the French movie “Les Chevaliers du Ciel” made by Bart Dragtsma. Probably the best fighter jets photography I’ve seen, amazingly edited and enhanced by the soundtrack… Sky Dancing!
Creating Realistic Grass
CGWorkshop training published a new video tutorial about realistic grass creation in 3ds max using VRay displacement and the Advanced Painter Script. This video is the first of the environment creation series and you also get the base scene model so you can follow along.
Mixing (Vocal) Elements A Capella a la Mike Tompkins
Taking a break here from the main theme, and yet it is related. I been doing some exercises lately, rendering out EXR’s with full channel info, comping them all in PS. Nothing came out even remotely cool as the super channel mixing in post – Vocal Style – made by the ‘crazy’ talented Mike Tompkins! This dude records each layer of sound separately using his voice alone and comp’s it all to form some of the greatest covers I heard so far. Enjoy!
SketchUP & V-Ray from Start to Finish by Omar Estevez
Omar Estevez wanted to help new V-Ray for SketchUP users to learn some basic V-Ray skills, so he created a series of tutorials that explain the complete rendering process from start to finish. The videos are divided into three major categories, Illumination, Materials, and Post Production, with ten videos total. Enjoy!
insight3d / Image based 3d modeling
I been playing with photogrammetry solutions a few years back, but it never stick with me. Perhaps it was too much work for less of a demand in my case, but you got to check out this new opensource project by Lukas Mach named insight3d.
