Menai Suspension Bridge

It’s been a while since my last update, so I thought I’d better post something, so here are a few NPR (Non Photographic Renders), the idea is to produce renders that look like they were done using conventional media, for this project I did 3D model of the Menai Suspension Bridge and tried to recreate the scenes as Watercolour style prints.

Chris Foss Style Render

Start of an After Effects composition and animation project, the ship is based closely on a tutorial by Adam Benton which was featured a while back by Computer Arts magazine, the tutorial itself, was inspired by and based on the works of the Sci-Fi illustrator and cover artist Chris Foss.

Total War Poster

I haven’t updated my blog for quite a while and feel a little guilty about it, I haven’t been idle and just completed another project, this one is a games poster based on the “Total War” franchise, the basic project concept was to give it a movie poster feel, the knight was modelled and rendered in C4D as usual and most of the compositing was then done in Photoshop.

Eclipse

Another Photoshop image, this one based closely on a tutorial found at Abduzeedo's design and Photoshop site, a great resource for Photoshop users and a fantastic source of inspiration for designers working in any media.

Kitchen render

What can only be described I suppose as the ubiquitous kitchen render, everyone has to do at least one….

Pollen Render

Pollen render using Cinema 4D and the VRay render engine, in this render I have tried to simulate the images produced by electron microscopes.

Vray Render

Test render using the VRay render engine and soft depth of field effect, some post work in photoshop.

Painting with light

"Painting with light" is an Experimental image, created by using geometric shapes to produce a glowing image, the main exercise was to create the "glow" lighting effect in Photoshop and create something from simple geometry, a good example of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts...
