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.

Warsaw - tilt shift timelaps

Unfortunately today non-3d stuff. But I think that taking photos is crucial even in 3d.
Recently I bought new camera this is my second one but this time its Canon not Nikon. I gave my dad my  old D80. Why?? Canons are quite good for making films and whats more they shoot 60fps. This was the main reason I did a switch. I can't tell any thing bad on my old D80 - it was really good camera!!!
As it comes to my new Canon 60D I can't tell nothing yet. I did only few shots with it. But what I have found is that I love to make timelapses. Below is a my first try. I have tried to apply a tilt shift effect but It came out a bit crappy. In future I hope to find some time for making timelaps with camera projection. It gives mind-blowing results. You can check one here.

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.

demoreel 2011

Here's my new demo. My excuse is that it was done in real rush in 24h :P. Not a lot of new stuff but there are few shots from the short movie we're still working on. But the good news is that I've got a job.. yeaaaah:). That's right starting this monday. I'm so exited. The agency's name is Televisor based in Warsaw, if you want to see more visit their web site televisor.pl - good stuff.
I will try post some videos from the short next time. See ya.



PS: If theres gonna be any spare time I will try to make another one with more shots from the short.
