Tic tac - Fox/FoxLife

New renders for tic tac. Maya, Mental Ray

UPDATE: Tic Tac 30sec/8sec - MTV EMA

Here is one of few animation we did for Ferrero. I will post them later.
I did lighting, shading and rendering for this one.
Two words to discribe this project are - "Crazy timing"!!!



UPDATE:
Second animation. Again: rendering shading, lighting.

Vectra commercial

Here is a commercial I was working on about month ago. Last part (3d part...starts 22sec) is mine. I did a whole piece except animation.

Voltaren Add

Hey. About one month ago we were working on an add for Voltaren. We struggle with this one a bit cause of the client. Who was not decided on how the add is going to look like. I loved the first idea but finally it turned out into something like this. My job was to build and animate the book and the packshots and also rendering/shading/lighting with exception of the fantom parts.



Prepering and animating book with a hell lot of pages was quite a challenge. I've created few scripts to speed up work.

First one is offsetting animation by one frame for multiple objects. Very simple but very useful. Here is a video how to use:
 

string $selekcja[] = `ls -sl`;
string $oldSelekcja[] = $selekcja;
int $ssize = size($selekcja);
 
for($i=0;$i<$ssize;$i++)
{
    timeSliderEditKeys addInbetween;
    select -d $selekcja[0];
    $selekcja = `ls -sl`;
}
select $oldSelekcja;
 
//timeSliderEditKeys addInbetween;

Second is a script of Zeth Willie.

//----------------------------------------------------------------
//select curve and object to attach and distribute along the curve
//----------------------------------------------------------------
string $sele[] = `ls -sl`;
int $selSize = size($sele);
int $numObj = $selSize-1;
string $cShapeArray[] = `listRelatives -c $sele[0]`;
string $cShape = $cShapeArray[0];
 
for ($a=1;$a<=$numObj;$a++)
{
    string $thisObj = $sele[$a];
    //print $a;
    shadingNode -asUtility pointOnCurveInfo -n ("POC"+$a);
    setAttr ("POC" + $a + ".turnOnPercentage") 1;
    connectAttr -f ($cShape + ".worldSpace") ("POC" + $a + ".inputCurve");
    connectAttr -f ("POC" + $a + ".result.position") ($thisObj + ".translate");
 
    //rotation
    tangentConstraint -weight 1 -aimVector 0 1 0 -upVector 1 0 0 -worldUpType "scene" $cShape $thisObj;
} 
 
setAttr ("POC1.parameter") 0;
setAttr ("POC" + $numObj + ".parameter") 1;
 
for ($z=2; $z<($numObj); $z++)
{
    string $POC = ("POC" + $z + ".parameter");
    float $increment = 1.0 / ($numObj-1);
    float $parameter = $increment * ($z-1);
    setAttr $POC ($parameter);
} // 

And an explanation video here. Selection is very important cause you have to select objects in an order you want them to stick to curve. Curve should be last in selection. Best way to do this is to use outliner.

Agi Bagi

Hey. Here is a short promo from animated series produced by Badi-badi studio I've been working on recently. Episode is 10 min long. I did lot of things from modeling and texturing to layouting scenes and rendering.
This episode was rendered in 3Delight in Maya. So that was a new experience for me.

Demoreel 2013

Here is my new demo. Comments and Critics are welcome.

Xbox controller

Hey
This post is a continuation of an old one. I've played a little bit with the look of a xbox controller and put it in motion. Breakdowns are also added at the end.


I'm also posting a still frame because the compression is dimming the detail.

Updated post - Painkiller - Cinematic

Hello

Here is a new cinematic made by Televisor agency for new game Painkiller Hell & Damnation.

I've help here with some modeling, texturing, shading and rendering. 

Main software was of course Maya and Mental Ray.

@Edit:
Here is a much better in-house version from Televisor.

miss_fast_simple_maya

Hey

Some test from today. I never had time to play with the SSS shader so here are my tryings. fast_simple is relatively simple shader but anyway needs a lot of twicking to work properly. I strongly recommend to register to gnomonology side and check free tutorials. There are few tuts regarding SSS shader.
Some seems are still visible.

Here are Mental Ray renders with no post work.

 

x-box pad

I love to work with shaders and lighting so today just a simple X-box pad just to keep this blog alive and for practice.

Rendered with Maya MentalRay with some quick post work in PS.
Model was found on the net.

v-ray gems

A while ago I tried to render a diamond. This one is done using V-ray for maya. Mental ray does not provide dispersion which can be observed in diamonds. I found out that you can achieve this in post by assembling a few renders with different IOR and colors. This is my first try with vray. I've added zdepth, chromatic aberration and bloom in post. Caustics don't look that natural but because my computer was struggling with this dispersion a lot a don't want to burn it in second try:D.

@Edit:

I'm adding a screenshot of my shader setup f any one is interested.

Demo reel 2011 - Déjà vu

Ok, I now this is the second one this year but this one is for real...I think. The first one was done in extremely short amount of time. Soo now we are talkin'. I've put almost everything I had and all the good stuff. Render looks a lot better on my laptop, then after vimeo compression, but anyways It is "almost" the same. There is one new shot from the short a was talking about hire. This new was lighten by Zbyszek Swat so high five for him.

Enjoy

Piece of Short

Ok here it is as I promised. Not a full short but just a piece. This scene was fully mine in matter of animation, lighting, rendering and modeling/texturing of a doctor's character. I did compositing, vfx as well as facial rigging of a doctor character, hair and cloth simulation.
Special thanks here to Michał Pancerz for modeling props and eviro in this shot, and rest of the crew.
C&C and welcome.

Here is something I did recently. Lighting, rendering and compo. I just matched the hood to a photography.

Mr Incredible

As I promised here is a model of Mr Incredible. We had approximatly 4 days for this assignment. While modeling I tried to maintain edge flow for later proper animation. Probably we will practice rigging on this model.

Posing (1/2)

Here are 10 poses I did for an assignment.

eeeee...What's up doc?!

Here is a project of chess figures I did for an assignment. I chose as a subject Looney Toons characters.

Cadillac LaSalle

Here is a model I've done in classes. Model was modeled, textured and rendered in Maya/MentalRay. Modeling took around 2 days.

Coffe Mugs

Two post in one day?!?! I have to mark it in my calendar :P. These are my coffee mugs that I made for a weekly contest in one of the 3D groups in deviantart.com. Image was rendered by Mental Ray.

Full image is available at this link.

Drugi post dzis to naprawde ewenement jak na mnie:P. Zaznaczam to w kalendarzu:D. Wrzucam prace renderowana w Menta Ray'u na konkurs jednej z grup 3d na deviantarcie.

Tu jest link do pracy na deviantart.com link.

CAUSTICS - tutorial

Jak mowiłem zanim sie odezwe minie troche czasu no ale coż :P. Chciałbym sie podzielić takim małym tutorialem o efekcie kaustycznym w Mental Ray'u (oczywiscie w 3ds max'ie), który powstał swego czasu. Pokazuje jak uzyskać w miare fajny efekt tak więc zapraszam.

As i said it's gonna take me a while to respond again:P.

I would like to share a small tutorial about Caustics in Mental Ray (3ds max of course;]).

It shows you how to gain an effect as shown above.

English version comming soon :).
