Dark Angel

SPY — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 04:25:21 +0000

An angel fitting to Rammstein? To work it has to be dark, different than we think of angels. The model was realized by a colleague, the preparation for animating comes from me - Character Control Rig with easy to use controls for animation. Even the wings can be controlled by only one control.

Here is a short scene:

Like a pill

SPY — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 04:22:04 +0000

Pills that fall down onto a surface are realized best with rigid bodies. The problem is the bouncyness and the friction. These values have to be changed very slightly so that the look is realistic..

Bad Girlie - Airguitar

SPY — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 04:11:19 +0000

A colleague and me created this airguitar-playing girl for a stageshow where an airguitar-contest will take place with the song ‘Thunderstruck’. I created the Character control rig which is very stable and easy to handle for animators.

Video killed the Radiostar

SPY — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 04:06:31 +0000

For the visula ‘Video killed the Radiostar’ I rigged a radio and TV-set but only with Nonlinear Deformern, Blendshapes und Squash’n'Stretch, so that the characters can deform in a cartoon-like look. No bones were used.

Destroying Sights

SPY — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 03:00:15 +0000

To make 3D-objects digitally explode into small pixels, I first rendered the objects, then created a plane with the rendering onto it and emitted particles in the same color. The color-information and the area where particles should appear the systems receives by the textures I rendered. Fields like turbulence and newton blow the particles from 2D-Plane into 3D-space so that the effect of a volume doesn’t get lost. Here is one of three examples:

Industrial Dance

SPY — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 02:32:15 +0000

I created this track to reduce my frustration and to at least build a track again, because work in the last days was really hard. This is more industrial and has many scratchy sounds in there but a good groove.
Enjoy the little preview!

Microcosm

SPY — Wed, 31 Jan 2007 23:00:24 +0000

Microcosm is a 3D-Animationwhich is about the Microcosm and all the hidden things in there. The smallest things in there hide in the detail and our behaviour of not looking into detail. But when we take a closer look we can find several things. In the microcosm not everything works like in our cosmos, some objects are not affected by gravity for instance.

This animation was a project, which was produced by myself in the course 3D-Advanced at the University for applied sciences in Salzburg.

Used software:

Animation:
- Alias Maya 6.5 / 7.0
- Adobe Photoshop CS2
Audio:
- Steinberg Cubase SX3
- Steinberg Wavelab 5
- Halion 2
Compositing:
- Adobe After Effects 7

Ambience

SPY — Wed, 31 Jan 2007 12:56:10 +0000

This song I have produced for the subject Psychology of media for the University of applied sciences Salzburg. The task was producing a creative work which deals with the content of a text the students had to read. Every student got a different text. The title of the text I had to deal with was: “Learning while sleeping” - and which genre fits best to sleeping or falling into sleep as AMBIENCE?
Have fun listening!
