new tutorials!

Hello everyone, well as i said i was going to be making updates, here are some more, ive had a new series of tutorials published on 3d.dtuts.com

I am now regularly recording tutorials exclusively for this site, they are very accomodating, and get pretty good coverage, so im rather happy with the arrangement! they ahve posted part 1 of a new series I have just sent them on:

How to model a low poly building for games

there are 2 parts, and its a pretty easy to follow series. I record call my tutorials in real time, so you cant follow along with me, and if it takes 40 minutes...well then thats just how long it takes...is simple and effective.

anyway, here is the link to part 1: HERE

and the embedded video can be viewed here, enjoy:

long delayed updates!

Hello everyone, well firstly....an apology! its been apsolutely months since i last made an update, truth is, ive been extremely busy both at home and on the work front! .... since july, ive had two new tutorial series published, and im working on a fourth/fifth. some exciting new trailers from cinesite have been released, ive come across some good reels i should have shared, so in the next couple of days and weeks im gonna make an effort to catch up on all of this!

so lets kick things off, with the new trailer for Battle Los Angeles, this is film cinesite did a large part of the visual effects for over last spring, I think it looks great, and a darn sight better than 'skyline' which it is bound to be compared to. why do these films always come out in pairs? armageddon and deep impact, a bugs life and ants, big vfx features always seem to come out twos.... its ood. anyway from what ive seen here, this looks like a visual feast, so i defiantely recommend you go see it, several excellent artist i know worked on it, so it should be thoroughly enjoyable!

here is trailer 2:

the tutorials take off!

Well its been about 2 months now, since i launched the head modelling tutorial series, and its been a big sucess!

there has been a mix of websites re-directing to the tutorials and websites who are hosting it themselves, you can see the offical tutorials now on 3 siteS (more to follow) :

3DTUTS

3DTOTAL

and free3dtutorials.com

been getting pretty good feedback from it! so i have plans for 2 future tutorial series:

1) unwrapping the head

2) maya modelling for apsolute beginners!

anyway, stay posted!

THURSDAY SHOWCASE

Why is it, that star wars games seem so much more interesting than the new films? instantly this star wars cinematic for 'The old Repubilc' seems to breath new life into what became a rather cliched series




if the game play is anywhere near as good as this cinematic, i am snapping this game up!

Buy an action figure of my work!

Just thought I would post some pictures of the Harvey Dent figure from 'The Dark Knight'. I bought one of these when it came out, and its awesome! They captured the detail of his scaring really well, and its fully posable and comes with a load of props too! well worth it!

Prince of Persia posters!

Some visual goodness for you!

I normally Buy one poster for every film i have worked on, and get the crew to sign it.... wonder which one I should get for Prince of Persia?

Prince of Persia in cinema's now!

Hey everyone, just a head ups to let you know that Prince of Persia is now out in Cinemas. I worked on this film for about 6 weeks last may. It was the first film i worked on with Cinesite, and a nice, enjoyable job. My role was primarily working on one specific shot where King Sharaman gets poisoned, its a high detail visual effect, that i think turned out really well, hopefully should get some shots of it up on the website later in the year, for now you will have to make do with some of the officially released shots!

anyway, check out the film and look out for King Sharamans poisoning scene! modelling, texturing and sculting work!
